Once Bitten, Twice Shy.

Ride or Die?

We sat down on the couch "Are you alright? You seem tense." He asked "I am tense Lilly's attitude is driving me insane and I always have to play the bad guy she plays and has fun with Sam all day then I come home and have to discipline I'm so over it." I said "I'm sorry Aaliyah." He said we sat in silence for a moment I looked over at him "You're not mad at me?" I asked "No, why would I be mad?" He asked "Because Emmet and I kissed..." I said "No... I'm not mad that's what this break was about..." He said "It would do no good to be mad then the whole purpose of this break would be lost." He said

I nodded in agreement "So how do you feel about kissing him?" He asked "I mean it wasn't anything special it didn't make me want to be with him." I said "That's good... And what about me do you want to be with me?" He asked his warm chocolate eyes looking deep into mine "Getting straight to the point huh?" I asked with a smile "I mean you don't have to answer now if you don't want to." He said "I'll wait as long as you want." He said "So that means you still want to be with me?" I asked "Oh I see you don't want to answer but I have to?" He asked I smiled "Well you don't have too..." I said he smiled "I'll go first." I said he reach for my hand.

"I had fun back home with my friends Kendall being home for a while really made thing easier, the nights out were so fun, and working was so nice to be able to get away for a while... But not talking to you every day was the worst. Hanging out with Emmet sure brought back some feelings but not how I want to be with him but how different it felt being around him and then being around you I still get excited to see, or talk to you. Being with you is something I've dreamt about... something I thought would never happen then my career started and when I found out you were visiting the mansion I knew right then that if we were meant to be together it would happen... Yes things haven't been the easiest for us but I wouldn't trade it for the world you are the person... my person that I want to spend the rest of my life with." I said "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that." He said squeezing my hand "But I've also been thinking I am so happy with you there is no need to rush into marriage or telling people I just want to be with you." I said

"Yeah? Ride or die?" He asked I smiled "Yes ride or die." I said he reach for my hand and smiled "I'd get married if you wanted to and we can tell whoever we want and if people find out who cares." He said "I know I'm just saying no need to rush it I love you and I'll still love you whether there is a ring on my finger and the world knows or not." I said "I mean I'll still put a ring on it." He said I smiled he pulled me over onto his lap "God I missed you!" He said

I smiled and leaned my face closer to his he pulled back "Whoa whoa whoa..." He said "Remember when you showed up to my show in a skirt and I don't believe you were wearing anything underneath..."He said with a smirk "Oh please... You loved it... and besides I recall giving you exactly what you wanted that night after the show." I said leaning closer "True." He said breaking the gap between us. Butterflies filled my stomach as his lips touched mine my hands wrapped around his neck as my fingers played with the hair on the back of his head.

After a few seconds he pulled away resting his forehead against mine his hands gripped tight to each side of my face "We have our whole lives to have sex tonight just let me hold you." He said "Who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend?" I asked "This break just gave me a lot of time to think and I just want to enjoy every moment." He said I smiled "And you wouldn't enjoy sex?" I asked he smirked "Oh you know I would but I want it to be about more than that." He said kissing me again

I smiled "Okay." I said I scooted myself beside him sitting my legs across him, his arms wrapped around me "I've missed you!" I said he smiled at me "You have no idea how hard it was to say goodnight to the girls and not speak to you after." He said "So why didn't you?" I asked "Because you needed time to think for yourself if things weren't going to work with us, you needed to know how it'd feel to still have to communicate with me for the girls." He said I nodded "You really thought all of it through didn't you?" I asked "Aaliyah I want you to know how serious I am about this." He said "Good I'm glad you're serious I don't want to go back and forth anymore." I said "I know me neither." He said
