"can you please explain who the hell is Alexa?" I threw his phone on the bed. I was done with everything.
*******************************
My blood was boiling. who the hell was this bitch? Joel, still half asleep, looked at me in shock.

"I'm waiting for an answer Joel." I crossed my arms.

"I-I-where did you get that name from?" he stood up and walked towards me. shirtless. oh dear lord. I don't know if I could resist not jumping into his arms.

"well this hoe, Alexa, called you on the phone and said she had to talk to you. but when I told her it was his girlfriend speaking she told me to ask you about her. that maybe you'll finally tell me about her. Tell me what Joel? ANSWER ME!" I was imagining the worst things right now in my head.

"Babe calm down. she's my...cousin. she was probably just playing a prank on me or something." he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer.

"Your cousin? you expect me to fucken believe that?" I pulled his hands away from my waist.

"do you not trust me? you'd rather believe her who've you've never met than me. she was just playing a prank." he seemed offended.

"Joel Pimentel, are you sure? bc if I find out it's a lie and that you're hiding something from me, you will no longer exist in my life." I felt tears forming in my eyes. I wouldn't be able to go through again what I went through 3 years ago.

"I'm sure." he pulled me into a hug and I laid my head on his bare chest.

Joel's POV
I couldn't let her find out about Alexa before I fixed things. I had to lie but if everything came out the way I wanted it to, Erika would never know. I couldn't lose her again for a stupid mistake as I did in the past. just feeling her skin against my skin made me shiver. she's all I ever wanted. I lifted her face up a little with my finger.

"I love you" I felt her soft pink lips gently brush against mine. my hands moving down to her waist and hers around my neck. the soft kiss then turned into a passionate make out session. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I made my way to the bed, where I placed her without breaking the kiss. her hands made their way up into my shirt and seconds later, it was off. I moved down to her neck finding her sweet spot and leaving love bites all over.

Erika's POV
he knew he made me feel things no one else made me feel. he moved down to my neck finding my sweet spot and leaving love bites. I moaned in response. his shirt was now off and I ran my hands across his back, feeling his muscles. I think I was ready. Joel was the love of my life. he was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I felt his cold hands make their way into my shirt, touching my stomach. before he went any further he turned to look at me for approval, I nodded. my shirt was soon off too. we pulled away to catch out breathes. he was so perfect.

"are you sure you want to continue this? we can wait until you're ready." I knew the answer to his question.

"Joel...you're the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. your face is the one I want to see every night before I fall asleep and every morning when I wake up. it you. it's always been you and it always will be. I'm ready." he began to lean back in, kissing my lips, moving down to my neck then to my breast. my first time would be with the love of my life. the only guy i truly loved my whole life. I began to place my hands on the hem of Joel's pants and they were off in an instant. Joel following my steps took off my remaining clothes.
