Bad Boy or Sad Boy

Chapter 9

I woke up feeling a weight on my stomach. I opened my eyes and see a tattooed arm laying across me. Brendon was still asleep and his face looked calm and peaceful, it was a beautiful site. I wanted to stay in this moment forever, I have never felt this content. But I decide I wanted to make Brendon breakfast to thank him for letting me stay here. So I make my way to the kitchen as quietly as possible so I don't wake the sleeping beauty. 

In the middle of flipping some eggs I feel strong arms snake there way around my waist. "Good Morning Florence May" he says, bending down to be closer to my ear. His morning voice deep and gravelly. I found the whole thing extremely attractive. 

I smile and turn around. I give him a quick peck on the lips and say "Good Morning Brendon" this caused a huge smile to light up his face. "what's  all this?" he asked, gesturing at what I was cooking. "i just wanted to say thank you for letting me stay here and you know, making sure I wasn't alone last night" I say with the smile "Of course I would help you. anything for you Florence May, anything for you" 

I now realized how much we were acting like a couple this morning, and how much I actually wanted that to be the case. It just seemed like it felt right. I have haven't this happy and comfortable in long time. Even with what happened with my mom, Brendon somehow made it feel better. I wonder if he feels the same. 

We decided to go to the mall, well I decided and Brendon agreed so I would be happy. He claims this wasn't what happened but I know the truth. 

We went into this large department store to look around. After 15 minutes I noticed that this security guard was following us around. "Hey, Brendon?" "hmm?" he replies "Umm is it me or is that security guard following us?" he chuckles "He's following me, they usually do. I guess they are afraid Ill steal some shit or whatever" I get a sudden wave of anger when I look into his warm chocolate eyes and see sadness and shame. "thats bullshit" i say as i walk over to the guard. I hear Brendon try and call my name but I keep moving. "Excuse me? why are you following me?" I ask him "Im not flowing you miss I'm following him" the guard replies while pointing at Brendon. "If you wouldn't follow me then why follow him. Theres nothing different between us, He is not a bad person. He's not judgmental like you...Sir" I say with a fake grin on my face. the guard was speechless. I walk away satisfied. "come on Brendon" I say when I reach him. 

when we are out of the store he has a huge smile on his face "Oh my god Florence May! that was so badass!" i chuckle at this. "seriously thank you. no one has ever stuck up for my like that before." he says "Well you are my protector so I that means i can be yours. We can protect each other" this make him smile and he wraps me in a strong hug, resting he's chin on my head. When we break apart he says "you really are amazing" with affection in his eyes, causing me to blush. then he says something I least expected...

"Florence May would you be my girlfriend?"
