She could be the one

Chapter 7

It's been a couple weeks now since me and Dakota became "Official". Everybody at school seems to approve for the most part, but that doesn't mean there's not the people who Harass us everyday. I've gotten used to the "Fag" and "Dike" being thrown my way, Dakota still hadn't completely gotten over it yet, but she will. Christmas is just around the corner too, I'm freaking out because I don't know what to get her. I've been working extra hours earning money, and even earning money from people who need help on Craigslist. So far I have $800.00 dollars. Of course it isn't all from working, I had a lot saved up. I'm going shopping today after school. Dakota thinks I'm working, and she has plans with some friends or something, so I don't have to worry about her. School went by pretty fast today, so after I gave Dakota a quick kiss and left for "work".  I headed to Walmart first so I could get something to eat because I skipped lunch. I got a sandwich, and was walking out the door when I got an idea. I ran back inside and found an employee. "Excuse me?" I asked politely. "May I help you?" The worker asked. "Yes, actually you can. Do you guys have reeeeeally big teddy bears? Like ones that are as big or bigger than me?" I asked. "Over there." He pointed. "Thanks. I said before walking in the direction he pointed. I ended up finding them and boy were they huge. I had to find another worker to help me carry it to the checkout stand, and then out to my car. The eight foot bear, that must have weighed at least 100 pounds, cost me $85.99. We had to stuff the bear into my car which took a good twenty minutes, but we ended up getting it in. I got home and had my parents (who had the day off) help me haul it in the house and up the stairs into my closet. I said goodbye, then went back to the store. I had an idea.. I'm going to buy her stuff to re-do her bedroom. I found her a new comforter set complete with sheets, pillow cases, and the comforter itself. I got her a new lamp, some new posters, a rug, some Christmas lights to hang up, a vanity, and some paint. Everything added up to $560.47. I"m going to have to get her out of her house next week so I can completely re-do her room. I had to hide everything else in the garage considering my closet had a huge stuffed bear in it. Good thing I don't use my closet.. I thought to myself. After everything was hid, I went over to Dakotas to see if she was home. she wasn't, but her dad let me in anyway and I went and sat in her room for awhile. Her dad ended up being okay with us, and my parents love her. So everything was going okay. She came home a couple hours later and threw herself onto the bed next to me. "You know what I REALLY hate?" She sighed. "Hmm?" I asked. "People." She replied "Even me?" I said while making a pouty face. "No, I could never hate you. But everybody else I hate." I leaned over and kissed her on her cheek. She turned her head and just stared at me for awhile. I stared back. "Another thing I hate is how frustrating it is knowing that people don't accept who we are." I nodded in agreement before saying "The only reason they don't accept who we are is because they haven't accepted themselves." I rolled on top of her. "So don't you worry your pretty little head what people think of us, because all the negatives are just a recreation of what they think of themself." I leaned down and kissed her softly, before pulling away and saying "Okay?" She nodded and quickly rolled out from under me and straddled herself on top of me. She pinned my arms above my head. She looked me in the eyes for a minute before looking away. "What's the matter babe?" I asked her. "Alex..Can I tell you something?" I got a little worried and wiggled out from under her. "Of course you can, Dakota. You can tell me anything. You know that." She looked over at me before grabbing both of my hands and saying "Alex. These past couple weeks have been so incredible. Seeing you makes my Stomach flip, kissing you makes my head explode. I can never get thoughts of you out of my head.. You are one of the best things that have ever happened to me, and basically what I'm getting at is.." She took a deep breath. "I love you, Alexandria Lee. And I don't care if you don't feel the same way because I am completely fine with that. You can say it when your ready, I don't care if you wait days, months, years, Decades eve-" I kissed her. "I love you too, Dakota May." She smiled before kissing me again and pushing me back onto the bed. She started trailing kisses down my face and neck stopping in between each kiss to tell me she loved me and why. "I love you alex. I love your smile, your eyes, your nose. The way you look when your asleep.." Before reaching the neck of my shirt. She looked at me before pulling it off slowly, inspecting every inch before continuing kissing where she left off. She trailed kisses all the way to the hem of my pants. She started to unbutton them, but I stopped her. I flipped her so now it was me on top. I did the same thing she did and stopped at her pants. We were both breathing heavy. I leaned back up and kissed her on the lips softly. "I'm not ready, Yet. This is far enough for now.." I whispered embarrased. She nodded like she understood and we both layed there, shirtless and happy.
