What You Wanted (A OneRepublic Fanfic)

Chapter 14: XO

Ryan's P.O.V.

I woke up and found Jo laying down on my chest naked. I couldn't believe what happened. Jo and I had made love. I started to replay the scene in my head. It was absolutely amazing. Suddenly her eyes flutter open and her light brown eyes stare into mine.

"Hi."

"Hi. How long were you staring at me?" She asked as she propped herself up on one elbow.

"Just a few minutes." I answered as I tucked a lock of her blue hair behind her ear. 

Suddenly, both our stomachs start to growl.

"Babe, I'm hungry." She whined. 

"Well, there's still food left in the kitchen that we haven't eaten." I answered as I kissed her on the lips. 

"Come on sleeping beauty lets go downstairs." I said as I got up from the bed.

I slipped my boxers and jeans on waited for Jo to get up from the bed. 

"Ow!" I heard her whimper.

"Are you alright?" I asked as I took her hand. 

"Yeah, it's just it hurts between my legs." She says softly and I tried to contain my laughter.

"You are so immature Ryan." She playfully rolls her eyes at me. 

"Whatever half pint. Let's go." I said as I went into one of my dressers and tossed her one of my t-shirts. 

She shrugs it on and walks over to me. I picked her up and walked downstairs with her in my arms.

"Ryan what are you doing?!" She giggled as she noticed that I wouldn't let her down. 

"Just carrying my girl to the kitchen since she's sore." I answered playfully. 

I put her down and the two of us grabbed both our food, and sat cross-legged on the living room floor. 

"Oh my god this pasta is really good!" Jo exclaims as she took a bite.

"Told you I'm a great cook." I answer as I ate some pasta as well.

As we continued eating, I couldn't help the feeling like I'm being stared at. I look at at Jo and she quickly looks down.

"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow at her.

"Nothing." She answers, blushing.

"Come on Jo. Tell me." 

"Okay but it sounds really corny." She says as she put her plate down.

"It's okay just tell me." I said as I put my plate down and took her hand into mine. 

"Okay... This is the most romantic date I've ever been on." She says softly as her cheeks become pink. 

I leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

"I'm glad I could make this date romantic for you." I answered as I traced my fingers through the scars on her wrists.

I felt her breath hitch and she immediately pulls her hand away from me. I grabbed it and gave her a cautious look.

"I'm sorry." I said to her softly. 

"It's okay." She smiled weakly at me. 

"Do you want to dance?" I asked changing the subject. 

"But Ryan you don't know how to dance." She answers trying to hide her laughter. 

"Teach me then." I said as I got up from the floor and extended my hand out to her.

She stares at me for a moment and takes my hand as I helped her up from the floor.
