The Arrangement

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Happy carries me into his dorm, closes and locks the door before tossing me down on the bed and hovering over me. "You wanna tell me that was all about?" he asks. I just look at him and say "Gotta make it look real right?" He looks at me for a minute and asks "You asked me so now I'm gonna ask you. You okay with this?" I kiss him softly and say "Wouldn't have done it if I weren't okay with it. I'm good but like I told you earlier, just don't wanna lose you after this." I tell him. "I'm not going anywhere. You're my best friend, Harlow. Nothing changes that." he tells me. I nod and kiss him again. "Now fuck me Giant." I say. Be crashes his lips to mine as we start to shed clothes. He kisses his way down my neck to my chest where he slowly nips and sucks at my nipples, causing me to arch into him. He kisses his way down my stomach before pulling my panties down my legs and buries his face in my core. I can feel his scruff rubbing against my inner thighs and that just makes the sensation more intense. I feel him running his tongue up and down my folds before licking and sucking on my little bundle of nerves. "Fuck Happy. Don't stop. Please baby." I almost beg. Just before I find my release, he stops. Looking at him he smirks and says "Only thing I want making you cum tonight is my cock." I pull him to me and kiss him deeply, tasting myself on his lips. He enters me, never breaking the kiss, and starts to thrust in and out slowly. "Harder baby. Please." I beg. He moves to kiss down my neck, leaving love bites along the way, but doesn't change his pace. I pull his face to look at me and see him truly looking at me like something clicked. I don't say anything else, just enjoy being with him. Once we both reach our release, he pulls me into his side and neither of us say anything.

We lay there for a while, not speaking. I get up and walk into the bathroom and close the door before the tears start to fall. For the first time in all the time I've known him, I can't read his face. I sit on the side of the tub with my head in my hands and quietly sob. A few minutes later, the door opens and he walks in and kneels in front of me. He doesn't say anything. He just cups my face with his hands and kisses me softly. I look into his eyes and he's staring back at me. When I look away, he pulls me back to look at him and finally speaks. "I love you." he says. "I love you." I tell him. "No. I fucking love you. How did I not see that before?" he asks. I look at him shocked. "Happy..." I start but he cuts me off by kissing me again. When we part, he tells me "Ma was right. It's you. It's always been you." he tells me. "Happy, what about the arrangement?" I ask. "Fuck the arrangement. I married my best friend. Period. You're mine little girl. Till the Reaper comes." he tells me. "Are you sure?" I ask. "You're not?" he asks. "I want this more than anything." I tell him. "Till the Reaper." he says. "Till the Reaper." I say back before he kisses me again. He stands and leads me back to bed. Lying next to him, he pulls me as close as he can get before whispering "Night Mrs Lowman." It's the first time he's called me by his last name. "Night Mr Lowman." I say.

Waking up the next morning, I slip out of bed and head to the kitchen for coffee. Walking into the kitchen, I see Gemma and my Dad standing there drinking coffee. I pour a cup but don't say anything. "Gemma, can I get a minute?" he asks, nodding to me. She gets up and walks out, leaving me with my dad. "You okay Kid?" he asks. "Yeah. Happy and I talked last night." I tell him. "And?" he asks. "When we got to the dorm, it's like something clicked. It's not an arrangement anymore. We're in this." I tell him. He pulls me into a hug and says "Good baby. I'm happy as hell for both of you." he tells me. I pour another cup of coffee to take to Happy and head back to the dorm. Walking into the dorm, he's sitting up in bed smoking when I put his coffee cup on the nightstand beside him. "Thanks." he says simply but doesn't look at me. "Happy?" I ask. He looks at me and says "Come here." I lean closer to him and he pulls me to him and kisses me. "I love you little girl." he says. "I love you Giant." I say.

We get up to start our day and I walk into the office with Gemma. "Things okay with you and the killa?" she asks. "Honestly? I don't think they could be better." I tell her. "Good baby. You know we all just want you two to be happy." she tells me. "I know. And we are." I tell her, smiling softly. Happy walks in to clock in and kisses me softly. "Love you." he says. "Love you." I say back before he walks out the door. I look over at Gemma and she says "You realize you're glowing, right?" I start to blush. "You really love him." she states. "More than anything. Always have. You were right though. You said I was always his Old Lady. Now I see you were right." I tell her. She smiles and we get to work.

That evening, after work, Happy says "Let's go for a ride." I get on his bike and we head out. He takes me to this little bluff and we sit near the edge just looking at Charming down below. "It's beautiful up here." I tell him. "I love coming up here. Just to think." he says. He puts his arms around me and pulls me close. "How did we not see this coming?" he asks. "Hell, I don't know. The night of the party, when that croweater pissed me off? Shit started hitting me then that I was in love with you. I was scared you didn't feel that way." I tell him. "I didn't know I did until last night. Just looking at you and seeing you look at me like I was it, it all just clicked." he tells me. Neither of us say anything for a while. We just sit and enjoy the silence and watch the sunset, wrapped up with each other.
