The Good Boy and The Bitch

Slow Kisses, Dancing, and The Notebook

***Shelby’s POV***

Looking up at Jayden I felt my hopefulness show on my face and I stood in front of him. I hesitantly tugged at the bottom of my t-shirt; I raised it high enough to where he could plainly see the scare but not enough to where he could see my breasts.

He kept eye contact with me while I was raising my shirt and I saw his eyes dart down towards my abdomen and his body stiffened. He stared at it his eyes following the long line, I was afraid of his expression but I couldn’t look away; no matter how much I wanted to.

When he leaned forwards and lightly kissed it I couldn’t hold back my tears. I wrapped my arms around his neck and fell into his lap. I hugged close to him as tears flowed profusely down my face; my body shook as sobs wracked through my body.

I let the tears that I held back around everyone else flow out of me and the only person that could ever comfort me during this already had his arms wrapped around my torso. I felt so safe with him I felt like nothing could ever hurt me, but I know he could hurt me worse than anyone else.

Jayden leaned back looking me in the eyes and wiped the tears from my cheeks and kissed me gently on the nose. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but he never did he just looked into my eyes like I was the only one who could hurt him too.

Ava came bursting though the door causing me to jump back in surprise and for Jayden’s arms to jerk away from me making me land on the floor with a loud thump. Ava looked like she was fighting laughter and Jayden reached down helping me up.

“I’m sorry but Shelby your parents just pulled up,” Ava said running back out of my room.

“Thank you,” I said looking at Jayden.

“That’s what I’m here for,” he said looking at me like he could see my soul.

We walked downstairs and made it to the bottom of the steps as soon as my mom and dad walked through the door.

“Hey Shelby, How was your day?” Mom asked hanging up her purse.

“It was good how was yours?”

“Great, I helped a dad realize, Oh hello Ava I didn’t realize you were still here,” Mom said looking at Ava.

“Oh hello I didn’t get a chance to meet you yesterday, I’m Shelby’s dad,” Dad said walking towards Clint with an outstretched hand.

“Hello Mr. Carter, I’m Clint”

“Sorry we just lost track of time,” I apologized

“Oh it is fine. Ava are you excited about the Ball, it is only five days away?” Mom asked.

“Yes I’m so ready for Saturday to be here!” Ava exclaimed.

I looked at Dad and we rolled our eyes together at them, we both softly chuckled at ourselves to making us laugh harder.

“What are you two laughing about?” Mom asked.

“Nothing,” We both answered at the same time. Yes, I am a total daddy’s girl but I can’t help it him and I are too much alike. After he found out what had all happened with Dean he blamed himself for not being able to see what he was really like.

“You are just like your father,” Jayden whispered in my ear.

He was standing behind me so I turned my head slightly and smiled widely at him, “So I’ve heard.”

Ava and Clint stayed for dinner but left soon after. After they where gone Mom and Dad went to spend time with Layla then they were going to bed. I sat on the couch watching The Notebook with Jayden, I love this movie it is the sweetest movie I have ever watched.
