The Falling virgin

s i x t y n i n e: first day in kindergarten

"Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey." Ben's voiced sounded. I groaned and turned away from the sound. "Look, she's not gonna get up when you do it like that." Connor said and he started tickling my feet. I shrieked and sat up, the covers covering my body since I wasn't wearing a top. "Fucking asshole."

"Whoa, that works." Ben said, a grin on his face. "Now, up." Connor said, walking to his suitcase. I sighed and looked at Ben. "Could you turn around?"

He nodded and turned his back to me. I got out of the bed and put on my bra and searched for my shirt. "Con, where is my shirt?" I asked and he licked his lips. "I honestly don't know."

I sighed and he looked around the room. "I'm pretty sure I threw it that direction." He said, pointing at his closet. "I thought you threw it the other way." I said and he shook his head. "No, that's not true."

"Guys, I'm still here." Ben said. "Alright, alright, I'll give you one of my shirts." Connor said and walked up to his closet, handing me one of the few shirts that were still there. "Thanks." I said as I pulled the blue shirt over my head. I grabbed my pants and pulled them on, too. "We're ready."

"Finally." Ben said, turning back around to face us.

"Okay, do you have everything?" I asked Connor and he slowly nodded. "Yeah, I think so."

I bit my lip. "Let's go then." Ben said and walked out of the room. I was about to follow him but Connor grabbed my hand. "Wait." He said and I frowned. He pulled me into a hug and I smiled. "What's this for?"

"Thank you." He whispered and I looked up. "For what?"

"Being an awesome girlfriend and changing me for the best." He said, kissing my head. "No problem." I said and kissed him.

Samuel parked his car in one of the spots at the airport. "We're here." He said and we all got out of the car.

"Alright," Caitlin said, handing Connor his bag. "Let's go inside."

Connor nodded and looked at me, a sad smile on his face. "Yeah, let's go."

I followed them inside and Hayden walked next to me. "Can't believe he's actually leaving now." She said, biting her lip. "Me either." I said as my eyes were focused on Connor's back.

He checked in and we were now at the security, which meant we actually had to say our last goodbyes. "I love you, Con." Caitlin said, hugging her son as she cried her eyes out. "Mum, I'll be back before you know it."

"I know, you've just gotten so big." She said. "I remember your first day in kindergarten like it was yesterday. You started crying like a maniac cause you didn't wanna let go of my hand."

Connor kissed her head. "Mum, you're embarrassing me."

"I know." She said, wiping her tears away. "I love you."

"I love you, too mum." He said. Samuel embraced his son as well, trying not to get too emotional. "Kid, make me proud."

"I always try to." Connor said and he received a last pat on the back by his dad. Hayden put her arms around her brother and he chuckled. "Make sure Ricardo takes care of you since he's doing his year over I expect him to look out for you. If he doesn't, I'll take the first plane back to beat the hell out of him, alright?"

"Don't." She said and he grinned. "I will, promise."

"Have a safe flight, Condom."

"Don't get pregnant, Hay Day."

Samuel sighed and put his arms around his wife.

Hayden went to stand next to her mom who put her arms around her daughter's shoulders.

"Connor Hamilton, I hate you for stealing my sister, but I'll miss you." Ben said, a grin on his face. "Dipshit." Connor said and they shared a long lasting hugging.

Ben let out a shaky breath. "I love you, man."

"I love you too." Connor said and patted Benjamin's back. "But still, fuck you."

Ben rolled his eyes. "Okay, great."

Caitlin turned to the rest. "Let's give them a little space." She said and they walked a few paces away. "Hey." Connor said and I looked at him, tears in my eyes. "I told myself not to cry." I said and he put his hands on my shoulders. "So did I, but even I am crying."

There were tears running down his cheeks. "I'm really gonna miss you." He said, pulling me into a hug.

I buried my head into his chest and my hands gripped tightly onto his shirt. "My mascara is probably smudging your shirt." I mumbled and he chuckled. "It's okay, I have plenty of them in my suitcase."

His hands ran trough my hair. "I have something for you." He said and I looked up at him, my chin on his chest.

He moved his hand into his pocket and I softly moved away, my hands still holding onto his shirt. "I've been wanting to give this to you in forever, but I figured that since we are dating for eight months today it's appropriate."

I frowned as he pulled a box out of his jeans. "First of all, I'm not proposing, don't worry. At least, not now." He said and licked his lips. "It's a promise ring."

I looked at him, a smile forming on my face even though the tears were still running. "Really?" I said and he nodded, opening the box. "Yeah, nothing big since know you like subtle things. Okay, not in every aspect," He said, a cocky grin tugging on his lips. "But that is off topic."

I looked at the ring, it was decorated with little diamonds, it looked so beautiful. "That looks too expensive."

"Of course that's the first thing coming out of your mouth." He said, a smile on his face. He grabbed my hand and slid the ring onto my finger. "It's beautiful." I said and he cupped my cheek with his hand and wiped away the tears. "I love you, Allison."

"I love you, too Connor." I said and he placed his lips on mine. My hands sneaked around his neck and he placed his on my hips, pulling me closer to him making sure there wasn't any space left between us. Our lips moved in sync, the kiss wasn't anything sexual, it was more like passionate one in a really loving way.

But, of course there has to come an end to everything.

We slowly pulled away and he sighed before he turned to his bag and pulled out a hoodie. "I know you already have five or more, but here's the other one you wanted." He said and handed me the hoodie. "Promise me that you'll wash them."

I nodded, connecting our lips one more time, but shorter. "Call me when you land." I said. He planted his lips on my forehead. "I will." He gave me a small, but genuine smile before turning around and walking to the security. My hands fell as I watched him. I looked at the ring and smiled, shaking my head.

I really do love him.

And next chapter will be the last one and I don't know how to feel about it since it took me months to write this book.
