Red Love

Chapter 17

So, there has been a slight change of plan regarding the final chapters of Red Love. I was originally going to do maybe three more chapters after this one but, because I like the way I have ended this chapter, I decided to end the story here :) Of course, we all have Red Hope to look forward to, so you haven't seen the last of Bea and Jordan yet ;)

Hope you enjoy :) see you at the end!

Jordan pulled me onto his couch and wrapped his arms around me, encasing me in a warm embrace.

"First of all, can I apologise in advance because I know the lads will slate you for what happened earlier tonight," I said and Jordan laughed.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it,"

"Okay,"

I held onto Jordan as tight as anything and nestled into the crook of his neck. We'd come back to his place (for obvious reasons) and because right after Jordan had said 'I love you, Bea Travis' there was a very long pause and then Pepe said aloud 'I mean, come on guys! Get a room, please!'. We thought it was probably better to talk in private...

"Err...I want to speak about why I was apprehensive to talk to you to you about certain problems," I mumbled. "I have major trust issues, I'll admit that. I just didn't want you to think of me as stupid."

I looked up at his face and he kissed my forehead. "You can tell me, Bea. I won't judge."

"I've just got this fear. Not of being in a relationship...but of being hurt. And I know I should've told you about my past relationship when we talked two weeks ago but I couldn't bring myself to do it," I hesitated and looked at him, trying to figure out what was going on in his head.

"Was it a serious relationship?" He asked, shifting some hair from my face.

"Pretty serious. Four years to be precise,"

"Wow. I can see where the fear comes from. What happened?" Jordan looked at me thoughtfully.

I began to explain everything about Max and our four year relationship, about how it ended and how he couldn't handle being in a long distance relationship.

"There were times that made me think he was trying to get rid of me, you know?"

Jordan nodded intently and I sighed.

"In the end, I found it painful to keep in contact with him because I had such strong feelings still. So I stopped the texts and phone calls. I had to get over him, even if it meant not speaking to him again,"

"That's understandable," He nodded again. "I just don't get how the both of you can be so in love and then the small matter of you moving up North creates a problem. Max sounds like a coward to me..."

"I know. That's what I don't get eiher," I sighed. "Guess I'll never know now."

"You'll be fine, Bea," Jordan kissed the top of my head. "I'm never gonna be like. I won't back down at the first sign of trouble. There's no need to worry, my little squirrel."

"Squirrel?" I laughed.

"When we were having the conversation about you napping? You said about being mistaken for a woodland creature? You're my little squirrel!" He grinned.

"Aww, you remembered that?"

"Of course," Jordan shifted his positioning so that we were now sat side by side. He took my face in his hands and looked straight into my eyes. "Ever since I first saw you in your car, I knew you were special, Bea. I mean, we may not have been in the best situation back then but there was something that made me want you. And now I've got you, I don't ever want to let you go. Believe me when I say this, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I don't want to let you down. You are my world now and I love you so much."

Jordan slowly placed his lips onto mine and I hugged into him. In the words he had just spoken, I knew that was it. Jordan was mine. I could trust him with my heart.

He dragged me onto his lap and I leant my forehead against his.

"Thank you," I murmured softly.

"Anything for you, my little squirrel."
