Now That We Found Love

14. Happy Endings

Victor POV

He loved Sarena.

But he would never ask Sarena to do certain things for him. He went from sleeping around with all the girls he wanted to nothing. He did not think to ask Sarena to do all those things. He knew she was not ready. More importantly, he knew Ms. Carrie would kill him if she knew he was thinking all of those thoughts about Sarena.

Yes, he wanted to have sex with Sarena. He loved her and found her sexy. But she was only sixteen and inexperienced. He had the experience and unfortunately the cravings.

It did not matter that everyone in the school as well as all of Springfield knew Sarena was his girlfriend, the girls still tried to get with him. They offered him sex, blow jobs, hand jobs, all the freaky things. But he turned them down. But he was tempted.

It was not worth losing Sarena over. 

As far as he was concerned, other girls did not exist to him. He could not look their way or fall into the temptation he sometimes felt. He knew Sarena would hate him if she ever found out he strayed from her. He could not take that chance of her finding out.

Sometimes to fight the urge he had to handle business himself. Always with Sarena on his mind. Once he finished and washed up, he would feel ashamed immediately after and got to the mall to find a gift for Sarena. Then he made his way over to the Kelly house. After a knock, Sarena opened the door for him.

"You are always so sweet!" she said when she saw the stuffed teddy bear that was almost as big as her.

"Anything for my girl." He pulled her in his arms, hugged her real tight, and kissed her messy curls. Thinking all the things he thought of her an hour ago, till now holding her in his arms. He told himself it was better than finding some random girl to sleep with.

"Ooo! Kiss, kiss, kiss!" Kitrina shouted out and then ran out of the room laughing.

Ashley was sitting on the couch with Tennille sitting on the floor in front of her getting her hair braided. Krystle sat on a nearby chair deep into the movie on the television. Nola sat in a corner of the room reading a book. Seeing the girls there, made him feel better about restraining himself. They needed to see him treating their sister extra special.

They already lost their father figure, so they needed another positive male figure in their lives. If it had to be him, he would do his best.

"Kitrina is so annoying!" Sarena rolled her eyes and hugged her teddy bear. "Where am I going to put this thing? You buy me so many things."

"We can take it to your room."

"My mom is home, Victor. You know you can't come to my room." Sarena situated the teddy bear in the corner by the front door. "Why don't we go hang out at your place? More privacy and no brats."

"You have one more time to call me a brat!" Ashley shouted out.

"No, it is cool, we can hang out here." He took her hand and walked over to the couch sitting beside Ashley. He nudged Tennille with his leg. While Tennille got her hair braided, she also had a comb to her doll's hair. "Hey, cutie pie."

"Do not call me that!" Tennille scooted away from him a bit which made Ashley smack her arm with the comb.

"If you don't sit still!"

He looked toward Nola who had not looked up from the book she was reading. At four, Nola read more books than all of her sisters. And they were not Level One books either. At only four, she was reading on a third-grade level already. She was that smart and he was amazed by that fact.

"We never have any privacy," Sarena said to him as she held his hand.

"You two can leave then," Ashley said. "Mom's here, so you don't need to babysit."

Carrie walked into the room with a bag of microwave popcorn.

"It's family night, we're watching a movie. Are you two staying?" Carrie sat on the empty love seat by herself and then Krystle immediately sat next to her.

"No," Sarena quickly said.

"Yes," he replied. "Come on Rena, it's more fun over here with everyone." His parents were not home again, out of town even though they just got back from vacation during winter break.

Sarena mumbled something but he tickled her sides to get her to laugh.

"Stop it!" she screamed out. "Before I do that one move on you again."

That made him stop. Especially after he just got off earlier. He would have blushed but he kept his composure and looked up at Carrie.

"Ms. Carrie, that's not enough popcorn for me and all the gremlins here. I can eat that in like two handfuls."

"Greedy!" Krystle said, already digging in the bag of popcorn. "Mom, can I make some more?"

"One more bag," Carrie said. "This near-grown man is not going to eat me out of house and home."

Even though he knew Sarena would rather be alone with him somewhere, this was where he wanted to be. Not alone in his big house. Then he would be tempted to push things further with Sarena. He was content to stay around her family.

There was a nice family movie playing, something age-appropriate for them all. That's what he liked about Carrie, she was that parent that parented. She was there as best she could outside of working long hours. When she was home, she spent time with them. She played with the girls, had family time with them, and talked to them about life. Also, the movie she picked had a lesson in it.

Kitrina came back out to join the family and squished herself in between him and Sarena.

"We already saw this movie!" Kitrina whined.

"Then you need to watch it again," Carrie said. "And why are you all over your sister and Victoir? Little girl, go sit over there with your twin."

"But mom! Victor's my best friend." Kitrina lay her head on his arm.

"Kit, get off my boyfriend!" Sarena grabbed Kitrina and pulled her away and pushed her from the couch. "See, this is why I don't like us hanging out over here. Mom, it's like I have to share him with all my sisters. Weird."

"I agree," Carrie said.

He liked the attention the sisters gave him so he never complained, but it was true they were really clingy on him sometimes. 

"Y'all do doing the most over this dude, he ain't all that," Ashley said with a suck of her teeth.

Victor playfully elbowed her.

Yes, he loved Sarena, but he loved them all in different ways. All he had to do was stay focused on her and no one else, make her happy and maybe they would have their happily ever after.

A/N: Why is it so hard for Victor to get his mind off other girls? I had a hard time writing him...this is why I don't write teen/YA stories.
