"I don't want to talk about it." I can't it hurts too much. Hugging my knees to my chest as I try to breathe normal. "I messed up Lil. It's been a few days, and I haven't heard from him. What if I ruined everything." It gets harder to breathe just thinking about it.

"Do I need to go kick his ass?"

"No, I think I need mine kicked."

"Cass."

"I'm sorry Lil, I need to go."

"Cass, don't..."

I don't listen and end the call. I ruined everything! 

I was jealous, and I don't trust her, I mean how can? Too much animosity between us to trust her. Now I have ruined the best thing in my life. Sobs wrack my body. Closing my eyes remembering everything from our past. 

When we first met.  "You must have a superpower, that's pretty cool." Besides Lil, Nate was the first one to not think I was a freak.

How he taught me to dance. "I knew you would be a natural." I could still hear the smile in his voice. Seeing it for the first time was breathtaking.

He was always there for me and what I do when he needs my support, I bitch and complain about her. It never should have been about her. It was about him!

"I'm sorry."

"Oh my God, Cassie! Are you okay?" 

Opening my eyes, my whole body goes stiff.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

                                                                                 N A T E

"You're an idiot!"  Yeah, I know don't remind me. "You need to go to her." I know that too. I was just really hurt, like she couldn't trust me. "You have been awake for almost two months now and this is what you want to be doing? Sulking around at my apartment." It's better than going to my dad's.

"Derek, when you fight with Lily then you can give me advice." The bastard laughs at me.

"We fight. That woman is so damn stubborn. Every time I bring up being exclusive it becomes an argument." Damn. "I know she is not seeing anyone else while with me, but I would like to call her mine." He loves her, I can just tell from the look in his eyes when he talks about her. "We are so fucked man!"

"Yes, we are. You are right though, I am miserable." My phone vibrates on the table, glancing at it I see the text. "Shit! It's Cass. I got to go."

"Do you want me to come with?"

"No, man. I will let you know what's going on. Thanks again."

Rushing out I drive my back to her apartment. I should have never asked for space. I was hurt, but that was no damn excuse. We should have worked it out right then and there. I knew the moment I met her that she was special. Her smile was radiant, even if she didn't have much to smile about. The whispers and rumors were horrible, but she did not let it bring her down.

She enchanted me, and still does.

Walking into her apartment, I did not know what to expect. There she was hugging Victoria, and they were both crying.

"Everything will be okay. I'm glad we had this talk Cass."

"Me too."

I'm really confused at this moment.

"Looks like jackass is back." Did she just...I guess I deserve that.

"Nate." Her voice is so weak, it hurts.

"We'll talk later." Victoria looks at Cass and she nods.

"Thank you."

I just stare at my fiancée. Well, I hope that we are still planning to get married.

"Fix this you idiot!" I will. Nodding at Victoria's words but never taking my eyes of my beautiful girl.

When the door shuts, I take a breath. 

"Cass." It kills me to see she has been crying. Because of me!

"I'm sorry." We say in unison. 

I take a tentative step forward, but she rushes towards me and jumps in my arms.  I'm home! Whenever I'm with her, I'm home.

"I was an idiot."

"I was jealous." She has nothing to be jealous of. "I didn't like her touching you, it was doing weird things to me." Damn she is cute.

"None of it matters baby." It's true the last few days have been agony. Not only because she is my fiancée, well I hope she still is, but she is first and foremost my best friend.

"It matters to me. I couldn't let go of the past, but now it is." That radiant smile of hers gets me every time. "I shouldn't have jumped on you like that." I don't mind, not at all. "You're still recovering."

"I'm stronger than you think, doll." That blush of hers still gets to me. "I'm not letting you go." Never! My lips touch hers and I am relieved when she holds onto me tighter. "I love you, Cass."

She brings her lips back to mine. It feels like a lifetime ago since I have tasted her lips, felt her touch, and I crave more of it. More of her. 

"I love you, Nate."

Her breathy moans unravel me as my lips descend to her neck. The grip she has on the back of my shirt as it rides up sends chills down my spine. Imagining her clawing my back as I unravel her the way she does me all the damn time.

Knowing that my strength is not one hundred percent, I do put her down and take my shirt off. Do not bite your lip. Backing away she pulls her top up and off of her gorgeous body. She is a seductress, always has been and she doesn't even know it.

"It's been a very long time, Nathan." Indeed, it has. Stripping my sweatpants off as she pulls down her shorts.

"Fuck! You are killing me here, Cass." Biting my knuckles as I take in her lacy bra and panties. If you can even call them that. They are just a bunch of string with barely any lace to cover. 

"That's not my intention." I bet it is. My dick is barely restraining in boxers as it is. "I thought I lost you." All playfulness dies and vulnerability is back. I did this to her. "I don't ever want to lose you."

"Baby." I scoop her up and carry her bridal style to her bedroom. "You are stuck with me and my idioticness." She laughs and I smile down at her. The Goddess below me laying on her bed is everything to me.

"That's not even a word."

"It got you to smile." I kiss her lips tenderly. "I am truly sorry. I don't want space. I never want it. Hell, even when we were just friends, I could not stand to be away from you. You are it for me."

Our lips connect again, the rest of our clothing gets disregarded, and when my I thrust deep inside her it feels like heaven. Her cry of pleasure is music to my ears. Her nails digging into my back as I go deeper and harder each time, sets my fire and desire for intensifies. Eyes locked, never looking away. The love in her eyes makes my soul ache and scream for joy all at once. I know as I bring us to our climax that I will never love anyone the way I love her.

I know we will have our moment where we disagree and have small fights, but I love her, and I will do anything for her.

Now I just need to marry this woman and make her officially mine forever.
