"Fuck! Wait." He scrambles to fix his statement, but the damage is already done. "I didn't mean specifically your babies. General babies. Not that babies are general- Shit." He curses under his breath while I continue looking at my menu, "It's whatever, Andy. I don't care." He huffs, "Good. How about we not bring up kids again? Remember the deal we made about getting along and stuff?" He notes. I roll my eyes at him, and I am quickly thankful that the waiter comes to interrupt our conversation. I find it quite ironic that he's the one saying that. I wonder if not bringing up children will end up being one of his dumb rules?

"So, are you ready for graduation?" He asks me. "I guess so." I shrug. "What are you going to do after that?" He's being rather curious which is a bit scary for me, "I don't know." I just shrug and look around the restaurant.

"What's your problem?" He spits. "I don't know if you've noticed, but it's been a tough afternoon for me." I glare at him. He's so insensitive. "Well, that doesn't mean you have to been all depressed about it for the rest of the afternoon. I'm trying to talk to you." I smile, "I just find this whole situation ironic, really." He laughs, "That's funny because I don't."

"You know what?" 

"What?"

"Maybe my mom was right." I dismiss myself from the table and quickly walk to the exit. "Scarlet!" He calls from behind me, and I hope I can get to my car fast enough to not see his face. I thought he would change. We were doing so good, but once again he hasn't taken consideration of my feelings. I'm beginning to get really sick of it. I feel like all I've been is  punching bag for him. My mom was right, of course she was. I don't want this cycle to become my life, no matter how much I love him.

I'm jerked backwards as someone grabs my wrist, and twisted to meet crystal blue eyes. "I'm sorry." He says while lifting both of his hands to cup my cheeks. "No you aren't." I murmur back to him. "Scarlet, I know I'm an asshole. We've been over this, but I'm really trying. Believe it or not, what your mother said effected me quite a bit as well. I really have been trying, I promise. I'm not going to be perfect immediately, as you've already seen. I know I just blurt things out without saying them, it's what I do. Just know I am working, baby. I really am." He kisses my forehead.

"Are you going to say anything?" He asks me while pulling me in for a hug. "I don't know what to say expect that being your punching bag is really wearing me down quickly." He sighs while giving me a squeeze, "I know. I'm starting to see that." 

"About time." I giggle.

"Well, let's get back inside before we both get arrested for leaving without pay. Last thing I need is to be in jail again." He laughs to himself and my eyes widen, but I eventually decide not to ask questions on the topic.

We sit back down and begin to eat our food that comes out to be served to us at the perfect time. As I eat, I can't help but think how quickly my anger dissolved as soon as he apologized. That's not healthy. I can't just keep forgiving him on the spot because he will start to think that it's okay. Possibly even  that he can mess up and I'll forgive him for anything. We surely both have a lot to work on. I catch him staring at m, "What?" I ask his questionable look. "You just look like you're in such deep thought. It's quite beautiful really." I nearly choke on my food, "Stop trying to be a suck up. I'm still upset with you, despite your apology." He frowns, "Do my compliments to you always have to stem from bad intentions? I'm not trying to suck up to you, I've just never seen you in such deep thought. I can keep my complements to myself from now on if that's what you'd like." He raises a heavily arched eyebrow at me, the one that always gets me. I smile, "You already do." He shrugs playfully with a smile before lifting his glass of water to take a sip, "True, true."

Following Andy's car back to his house, it gives me a lot of open time to think. I really wish that Andy was in here with me so that we could talk about these things crossing through my mind. Even though he is rude at times, he is very understanding and he's probably one of he best listeners I know - when he's in a good mood, that is. I relax my shoulders after I come out of my thoughts, I always end up so tense. I turn on The Front Bottoms since Andy isn't here with me. That's the only pro to it. Every time I turn it on, he always ends up making fun of the lead singers voice, the one that I happen to love very much.

Before I know it, I'm pulling up behind Andy in his driveway. I jump as he opens the door for me, and he grabs my hand and helps me up. "How was your drive?" He asks before playing a short, sweet kiss on my lips. "What?" He asks while I laugh and close the door behind me. "This is getting a little scary." He pulls me closer to him with a  cheeky smile on his face, "Maybe I just missed you on the drive." I smile, "I missed you, too, but we need to bring my boxes into the house, it's nearly dark." Ignoring me, his lips connect to my neck and my knees almost give out beneath me. "Remember our deal." I breathe out as I fall into his trance. He never fails to take all of me.

"I know, but I've already waited so long..." His teeth nibble my neck gently, earning a quite whimper from me. He pushes me back against the car and his large hands grip my hips tightly. I squirm beneath him  and try to get out of his grip. Who knows who could be watching? "I know you want this, you can resist me all you want. I bet you're already soaked." His lips begin to trail to my chest and my breath hitches in the back of my throat. It hasn't been long since we've done this, but it feels like forever. "We're outside!" I gasp as he lifts my shirt up. I feel him smile against my newly exposed skin, "I know. That's the point, right?" I shove him off and pull my shirt back down. He lifts his eyebrows playfully as I open my trunk to get my things. "That's going to deserve a punishment later." He teases. "Oh yeah? We will have to see about that." I laugh while picking up a few boxes and stacking them on top of each other.

He spanks me as I walk towards the house, making me squeal and nearly drop all of my things.
