Just Another Happy Ending

Chapter 20: Always Speaking of Ashe

"Look Evan! There so cute!" I say pointing to the fish through the glass in a pet store. "I see them Ri but Ashe would kill me if I bought you an animal." I pout knowing he's right. I wave my arms making the pink cardigan, that Evan made me wear over my white crop top, sway.

I step away from the fishes and out of the pet store. "So where to now?" He sighs. "You tell me." I think silently to myself. "Well I don't know." He kisses me. "Maybe we should just go home then." I grip his shirt. "No because that means you're leaving me." He steps closer.

"Then pick a place. My house your house. I'll stay if that's what you want." I smile. "Yours. There it's just you and me." He smiles. "I like that idea." He takes me to the car and I get in. There must be five or six bags of stuff he had already bought me. He puts it in drive and pulls out offish parking place. I sit in silence on my phone.

"Babe..." I look over at him. He taps his cheek lightly and I lean over kissing his cheek. I'm sitting with my knees in my chest and my phone in my hand. "Are you okay?" I nod softly. "Just fine. I've got the best boyfriend ever. I can't thank you enough for today or even begin to express how happy you make me."

He reaches his hand out for mine and I give it to him. "I love you baby girl and I'm so glad your happy." I smile. "I love you too." I return my attention to my phone. I can't stop reading my sisters message to me. Before I know it he parks. "Okay Riley we are here. No please direct you attention to me and not your phone."

I smile locking my phone. "Jealous much?" He leans over letting his nose touch mine. "No baby I just want your attention. I'm entitled to want that right? I mean can you blame me. Look at you." I giggle softly. "I guess not. I do look really cute today."

He kisses me gently. "I can vouch for that." I hum pulling his lips back to mine. "Maybe we should go in." I say softly. He nods taking his keys and I follow. It's not long until he's unlocking the apartment door and we step in.

Immediately he's kissing me. I smile and he let's his lips trail from my mouth to my jaw. He's just leaving small little kisses that make me sigh softly. "I don't think Ashe would like it very much if you left marks." He hums. "You can hide them." I shake my head. "I don't want to hide them."

He trails to my neck letting his lips skim over my soft skin. "Just one Ri." He's voice is whiny and I mean how could I say no. I nod softly and he kisses before sucking gently on the spot of his choosing. I sigh softly before eventually lifting his face. "That's enough Evan." I say kissing him.

He smirks kissing me back. Eventually I push him away. "Come on Evan can't we do something other than kiss?" He hums. "I'm sorry baby. Sure you name it." I shake my head hooking my fingers in his. "Don't apologize I just want to feel like this isn't all you want."

He shakes my hands. "Hey. No okay? I want you to be happy even if that means that I have to sit and watch science documentaries. I'll do it just to see you smile." I laugh some falling into him. "Whatever Evan." He hugs me and I hug him back.

"So what do you got in the pretty little mind of yours?" I hum. "I don't care honestly." He smiles. "What's Ashe doing?" I roll my eyes. "I don't know maybe if you care so much you should date her." I say with one of those irritated girlfriend faces. "Hey now it was just a question?"

I pull away from him. "And it was just an answer." I step past him and he grabs my wrist. "Ashe means nothing to me Ri. I mean nothing compared to you." I sigh pulling free from him. "Then why are you always worried about here? Ashe wouldn't want this. Ashe isn't going to allow this." He sighs.

"I'm sorry Riley. I didn't think it mattered. I was just have a conversation." I shake my head. "Evan don't do this to me. If you want her take her but leave me out of it." He grips my neck setting his thumb on my chin pulling my lips to his roughly.

I sob softly wanting to just slip away from reality. When he pulls back he sets his hands on my cheeks wiping my tears. "Ri..." I shake my head. "No Evan. Everyone leaves for my sister. So go if that's what you want but don't break my heart. I'm alone in the end so what does it matter? Stop kissing me and pretending you care Evan please."

"Baby listen to me. I don't love Ashe. I don't even like her more than a sister. I say all those things about her because I really love you and I want to stay with you. I'm not trying to mess this up. Please stop. Don't push me away." I look him in his face with tears streaming down my face. "Is she pretty to you?"

He sighs. "Baby girl she's pretty but I've never seen someone that compares to you. Inside and out you're beautiful." I frown. "I-I can't Evan." I run from him heading for his bedroom. I lock myself in and eventually after sometime I hear him knock. It must have been thirty minutes.

"Go away Evan." I say with no emotion. "It's Ashe." I stand because I had been sitting with my back to the door. I open it and she steps in. "Ri what did I tell you?" She says softly touching my face. "I don't want to be hurt Ashe I just have this feeling but I love him." She hugs me. "Listen to me Riley. This is your first boyfriend and in love there's ups and downs. It's not all going to be rainbows and sunshine but in love you push through because it's love. I can't tell you he'll never hurt you but I know that boys pure. That boy if he had intentions of hurting you or using you he would have already made his move. If you continue in this you have to trust him though which means you need to talk to him. I love you and I'm here if you need me."

I nod softly and she opens the door. I step out and Evan is pacing the kitchen. I step into the kitchen and his attention is completely on me. "Evan we need to talk." He nods just staring at me. "I love you I do but I just have this feeling that something's gonna go wrong. I don't want to be hurt in the end. I want to trust you so Evan I'm gonna need more than just words. I want this to work but without my trust that just isn't going to happen."

He nods. "Riley you name it. You tell what I have to do and I'll make this right. I'm sorry you don't trust me. I just don't want to lose you." I step over hugging him. "You won't." He hugs me back and I already begin to feel better. I hear a door shut and I assume Ashe left. We would be fine. That I knew for sure.

Hope you liked it. 😨
