Trust Me (a Montgomery de la Cruz fanfic)

13 My hero

"Monty...", was all I managed to say. I was at an absolute loss for words. He was talking about me. This girl he was describing, all the beautiful things he was saying about her... it's me. And even more shocking is the fact that he thinks that I'm too good for him. Montgomery de la Cruz thinks that I'm too good for him. I went through a million emotions in just seconds, but I was still at a loss for words. "I don't even know what to say", I managed to stutter. "To be honest, I don't either. This isn't exactly how I was hoping to tell you this", he replied. I felt so bad. If I hadn't listened to his private conversations, he wouldn't have been forced to confess like this. I didn't want to do that to him. "I'm so sorry. I never meant to out you like this. I had no idea", I explained. I placed my hand on his and squeezed it gently. "It's okay. You would have found out sooner of later anyway", he said while giving me a nervous smile. I had so many thoughts running through my head. I don't even know how long we were sitting there in complete silence. "Look, I get it if you don't feel the same way. I just want you to know that I'm... I'm really trying to turn things around", he said interrupting the silence. "That's the thing. I do! I do feel the same way, but I feel the same way about the Monty that only I know. And honestly, I could never stand next to you at school and watch you do the things you do to other students. I just can't", I told him, every word stinging as painfully in my own chest as it probably did in his. "I get it", he said nodding softly, and I could see that my words had hurt him. But it was the truth, and no matter how great of a guy he was around me I could never support those sides of him. For a while we just sat there in silence again, just letting it all sink in. I wanted to do something to break this awkwardness, but I had no idea what to do or say. "Promise we one thing though. Promise me that we won't change. Not let things get weird. We're still just us, okay?", he asked. "I'll do my best", I replied with a smile, but I wasn't even sure that was possible at this point.

"So, what now?", I asked. A desperate attempt to change the subject and get things back to normal. He looked at me for a second, and then a smirk spread across his lips. " Yeah, let's see... What where we doing before this? Oh, that's right. You rudely interrupted me in the middle of something", he said. I could see the playfulness in his eyes, so I know he was joking, but I couldn't really remember what he was referring to. What were we doing before this? "Like the knight in shining armor I am I had just saved you from the terrible wrath of the vicious and evil stray cat, and you were going to reward me", he said still smirking. I giggled. "Okay, what do you think is a suitable reward for your heroic efforts?", I asked, playing along. "According to the fairy tales, I'm pretty sure I am entitled to the princess and half the kingdom", he said, pretending to be dead serious. "Well, you can spread out on the couch, but I am unfortunately fresh out of princesses", I chuckled. "No, you're not. I found one right here", he said and pulled me onto his lap. I giggled like a little girl, and pretended to fight back. "Let me go", I laughed. "Never. You're mine now", he said, and added an evil laugh. He held me on his lap, straddling him and facing towards him. Our eyes locked and he placed his hand gently on my cheek. "Now how about that reward...", he almost whispered. His lips turned magnetizing again, but this time I no longer wanted to fight my urges. He pulled me closer to him, and leaned in slowly. As our noses touched, the butterflies in my stomach was replaced by wild hurricanes. Our lips barely touched at first, but it felt like a shock of electricity. I almost felt dizzy. There was no way I would be able to hold back anymore. My hand instinctively found it's way up to his neck, as our lips crashed harder together. Such an explosion it felt like inside. His hands grabbed onto my waist, and his tongue was softly begging for mine. I freed his wish and our tongues met and played, concealed by our lips. I almost fainted before I decided to pull back for air. The kiss was so intense, we were both out of breath. "Holy...Wow!", he said, looking at me with stars in his eyes. As if those eyes was not hypnotizing enough to begin with... "How's that for a price?", I giggled, probably blushing. "I have to save you more often", he chuckled.

"So, what do you wanna do now?", I asked, climbing off him and sitting back next to him on the couch. "How about another scary movie?", he suggested. "Sure. I'm down". I pressed play on the next horror movie we could agree on, and went to the kitchen to get us some drinks. When I came back he had spread out across the couch. "Really?", I said, giving him a glare telling him I was not amused. "Don't worry. I saved space for you right here", he said, gently patting his own chest. My face did not react, and I stood there giving him the same glare. "Oh, come on. You know you'll get scared and basically end up in my lap anyway", he said, with a wide grin. He had a point. I exhaled dramatically and shook my head gently, but I couldn't hold back a smile. "Good princess", he joked, as I got comfortable next to him on the couch and laid down to rest my head on his chest.
