Forbidden bad boy love.

24) "We"

RECAP

Jasmine's POV

I walked in and sat in my usual seat away from most of the people. Some of them would actually talk to me sometimes, most of them being guys and some girls, but I was mostly alone. As the bell went off signaling the start of first period, all I could think was I wonder what Drew is going to do. Why did he look sad? Is he going to approve or not? Will he say something to Josh too? I really hope this doesn't change anything between us. Please approve Drew, you know he's a good guy.

24) "We"

Josh's POV

The day went by very uneventful and before I knew it, I was headed to lunch with Jasmine by my side. I noticed that there was something off about her. When we got to the end of the hall, I pulled her to the side where it was empty and nobody would be able to see us.

"What's wrong Baby?" I asked. It looked like something was bothering her. I swear if someone did something or said something to her, I'm gonna beat the shit outta them. I'll never let anyone hurt her Ever again. I l-

"Drew knows. Well he knows we have feelings for each other. He said he wanted to talk to me later and I'm guessing he's gonna do it right now when we get outside. The things is... I don't know if he'll approve or not. He said he wasn't mad at me only you a little and I don't want him to hurt you either." She said interrupting my thoughs.. I don't know where they were going but I can't think about that right now. Drew knows.

"Baby. I'm sure that they'll all be a little worried in the beginning but they're just worried about you. Eventually they'll approve and that's if they don't approve in the beginning. There's still that chance. Please don't worry about the what ifs. Just talk to him and everything will be okay. I'm not leaving you. I'm not going anywhere. Please don't leave me." I said softly. I don't know where that came from but it felt like I just had to say it. I don't know what I'd do without her but I'm sure I'd be a wreck. I lifted her chin with my finger so that I could see her beautiful face. Her eyes told me everything, just like mine did to her. I saw worry, sadness, relief, adoration, nervousness, happiness and one other thing that was above all others. It was stronger and stood out so much more, I just didn't know what it was. It was the same thing I saw in her eyes and the guy's eyes when they saw each other, the same one that my mom used to look at me with, but in Jasmine's eyes, it was a lot stronger and directed right at me. What the hell is it?

"Okay. Well thanks and you don't ever have to worry about that. I won't be going anywhere and I don't think I could even if I wanted to." She said snapping me out of my thoughts. That made me smile and I leaned in and met her lips with mine. They moved in perfect sync and felt like they were molded just for each other. I felt the all too familiar tingles wherever her body touched mine.

It felt like forever before we both reluctantly pulled away.

"C'mon lover boy. I know you're hungry." She said with a giggle. I loved it when she'd giggle, laugh, chuckle, or anything like that because she only did that around me and that's how I knew they were real. That they weren't forced or fake. But my favorite sound is when she moans during our passionate kisses. She drives me crazy without even trying.

"Yeah yeah. Lets go." I replied. On our way there she said she wanted a burger so that's what we got.

After about five minutes in line and me paying for both our lunches, despite Jasmine's arguments, we are now walking towards the table and bench in the corner where we usually sit. It's weird saying "we". I don't know, I guess I've never really had anyone to be a "we" with.

As that thought crossed my mind, I looked to my left and smiled at my beautiful girlfriend. She returned the smile and we sat down at the table to eat like usual.

About half way through my burger I was interrupted by Drew though.

"Umm, Jasmine. Josh. Can I talk to you guys?" He asked with a stern look directed at us. The rest of the guys were too into their conversations to even notice it.

"Sure." I responded not wanting to make anything worse.

Jasmine and I got up and followed Drew to the big tree that is always lonely. Once he got there he turned around and got straight to the point.

"I know you guys like each other. It took me a while to actually see it but I finally did. Now. please answer this question with the truth... Are you guys together?"

Right when he said that, I looked to Jasmine to silently ask if its okay to just tell him. Seeing nothing but confidence and approval, I answered his question.

"Yes"

He let out a heavy sigh. "Okay. I'm not mad at you. Just a little frustrated. Jasmine I don't want you to get hurt. I can tell that you guys really like each other, but you've known him for like a week. Please just be careful. You better not hurt her dipshit." he started off soft and then his voice got harder towards the end when he looked at me.

"I would never hurt her intentionally. I promise." I said with the most convincing stare I could muster. I looked him straight in the eyes.

"Okay. But if you fuck up, we're still gonna kick your ass." he said meaning every word.

"And I won't fight back." I replied. It's the truth. If I ever hurt Jasmine, I think I'd beat myself up.

"Okay. Now seriously, this can't get in the way of our work. We can use it, but we will do what has to be done. This job is not a game and it can't be messed around with."

"Yeah. We understand." Jasmine answered.

"Okay. And don't worry. I won't tell the guys until you give me the okay... well. That's all I have to say here." He finished. Jasmine let out a little squeal of excitement and jumped on him, giving him a giant bear hug.

"Thank you so much! I love you, Drew." She said. When she did, I felt this weird pang in my chest. I felt jealous of Drew for some reason. And as he said bye and walked away, I knew why.

I want her to say those words to me. I want her to say them and mean them in the strongest way possible. And the biggest shocker of all, I think I love Jasmine Horan. Me, the same guy that thought love was just a myth, a hopeless goal that nobody would ever reach... not until I met this gorgeous girl in front of me.

And as we walked back to the table to finish our lunch, there was only one thought going 1000 mph in my head. And that thought was: I think I love her.
