William...

Chapter 52...

LEAH POV—

It was the next morning and the sun's rays were peeking through the window. I stirred in my sleep, feeling something hard beneath me. I slowly opened my eyes as I looked to see what I was laying on. William. I rubbed my eyes, getting the sleep out of them and stared at Will's sleeping face.

Last night's events circulated through my mind as I reminisced. Then, it donged on me. I looked at my hand, staring at the promise ring that Will bought me. I'm officially his girlfriend. I smiled from ear to ear as I let the thought sink in.

"What are you smiling for?" Will's voice boomed, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, nothing." I said, looking at him.

I traced his tatted chest with my acrylic fingernail. He covered his mouth as he yawned.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked, rubbing my back.

"I'm finally your girlfriend." I smiled.

He returned the smile. "And I'm finally your boyfriend."

He leaned in for a kiss, but I quickly moved my head. He looked at me with a face of confusion.

"You're not kissing me with that stank ass breath of yours." I said, covering my mouth.

"Man, I don't give a fuck about no morning breath. Give me my kiss." He said, moving my hand.

"No." I giggled.

I quickly sat up, about to make a run for the bathroom, but he was too quick. He pinned me down, hovering over me.

"Will, move. I need to shower." I whined.

"Not until I get my kiss."

"Oh my God."

"We'll sit here all morning, until I get some love." He stated, looking at me.

"Okay, fine." I huffed.

He smiled, leaning his head down, crashing his lips onto mine. I could never get tired of his lips on mine.

"That's more like it." He said, letting me up.

"Whatever." I replied, getting up, making my way into the bathroom.

45 minutes later, I was showered and dressed into sweats and a shirt. I was putting on my J's, when Will came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"You're leaving?"

"Yeah, I think it's time for me to go."

He dropped his towel, putting on boxers, ball shorts, and socks. He walked over to me, pulling me into his embrace.

"I don't want you to go." He replied, nuzzling his face into my neck.

Hell, I didn't want to go either. I wanted to stay in his arms forever.

"I don't either, but I think I overstayed my welcome." I replied, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He kissed my lips. "I'll call you later."

"Alright." I stated, kissing him once more.

We pulled apart, leaving his room, and walked downstairs. His mom was in the living room, watching tv.

"Bye, Mama Pierce." I stated, walking towards the front door.

"Mhm." She said, staring after me as I left.

Will walked me to my car, holding the door open for me as I got into the driver's seat.

"Drive carefully." He said, shutting my door.

I rolled my window down, glancing at him.

"I will. Bye, I love you." I stated, starting up my car.

"I love you too."

I left out of his driveway, and headed home.

WILL POV—

After Leah left, I walked back inside, locking the door behind me. My mom stared at me as I headed towards the stairs. Before I made it to the first step, she stopped me.

"Come here, Will."

I went into the living room to see what she wanted.

"Yeah?"

"Have fun?" She asked, looking at me.

"I did. Yesterday, was a good day." I stated, smiling.

"I even made Leah my girlfriend. We're official now." I added.

"That's good, baby."

"Are y'all done celebrating?" She asked.

"Celebrating? What do you mean, Ma?"

"She stood up and walked towards me. Before I knew it, she hit me upside my head.

"Ouch, Ma! What was that for?"

"I heard y'all last night. Nasty asses having sex in my house." She said with a look that could kill.

"I'm sorry, Ma." I said, holding my head.

"Don't let that shit happen again, you hear?" She replied in a serious tone.

"Yes, ma'am."

We were interrupted by the tv in the background. The news was on.

News reporter: Local teen, Andre Stevens, has been arrested for the attempted murder of William Pierce. The arrest happened a few hours ago. Witnesses spotted the young teen walking the streets. Police immediately came and arrested him. Sources say that he will do 15 years in prison.

"Wow." I stated, looking at the tv.

"You finally got justice, hunny." My mom said.

"How do you feel?" She asked.

"Happy and relieved."

"Me too, he's getting what he deserves."

"Yeah."

"You want breakfast?"

"Yes, please."

"Okay, I'll go make something." She said, going into the kitchen.

I went to my room and sat on my bed just as my phone rung. I checked to see Danny calling.

"Wassup?" I answered.

"You saw the news?"

"Yeah, it's good he's in the pen now."

"Yeah, bro. Now, you don't have to worry about him anymore."

"Straight up."

"How was your Christmas?" He asked.

"It was good. How was yours?"

"It was cool."

"That's good, bro."

"Yeah, well that's all I was calling about. I'll talk to you later, bro."

"Ight." I said, hanging up.

I laid back in bed, staring up at the ceiling. I was feeling good this morning. I got my girl and that dude is gone now. Life is good.
