His Hand Pick | ✔️

2.8 (AE 1)

I looked around me, Zelda was in a chair next to me, both of us tied to a chair.

I looked up and saw Samm standing over Alex who was on the floor.

"Listen, I'm not going to go to the police with this," Samm's voice was getting more stern, "but if you lay another fucking finger on Opal, you will get what's coming to you because no one touches the only person I have left!"

Tears came to my eyes, I needed to get out of this chair. I started to struggle and rock in the chair. Rachel came up behind me and untied my hands. As soon as I was free I flew into Samm and cried.

What was I doing, keeping myself from him, I was only causing myself to hurt more.

Samm pulled me away from him and trapped me in a kiss. I now understood why I wanted to keep myself away from him. Due to past experiences I believe love only ends up hurting, so I keep myself away from it.

But Samm has made me realize.. Love only hurts if you ignore it.

I pulled away from the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered, "I love you Samm."

I felt his body tense, but then quickly relax, "I love you too Opal."

My heart was beating fast, I felt like I was going to pass out. I was shaking more than I expected.

A shriek made us turn, Zelda was jumping up and down, "Finally! I've been waiting for you two to finally admit it to each other!"

I laughed into Samm's chest, I felt him laugh too.

"You piece of shit," both Samm, Zelda and I turned, Mags was on top Alex punching and slapping him, "I let you control me for too long! I'm sick of it!"

"Mags!" Zelda rushed past Samm and I and pulled Mags off of the now unconscious Alex.

Mags curled up into a ball in Zelda's arms on the floor. Kc and Rachel sat down next to them. "That was awesome Mags!" Said Kc

"Yeah!" Rachel agreed back.

-POV Samm-

Opal became such a large part of my life as soon as she entered it. I didn't know that she'd eventually mean everything to me. I love her, I love her so much.

I picked her up, "I can feel you shaking."

"You don't say?" She said softly and smirked.

"You two leave, Kc just called the cops, I don't want you guys mixed up in this." Zelda told us.

"I don't want you to take the fall for this Zelda," said Opal

"I'll be alright, were the victims, plus I have my connections."

Opal nodded, "okay."

With Opal still in my arms I carried her out to my car. Once we were both in the car, a cop car went past us.

Opal let out a long and harsh sigh, I let out a small laugh.

"What?" She looked at me, her cheeks turning red.

"I missed you," I reached my hand out to her.

"I missed you too," she placed her hand in mine and laughed softly. We drove back to my house.

We just pulled into the driveway when she spoke again, "I know what happened between you and Sienna wasn't your fault, I was just overwhelmed with anger seeing her all over you, and seeing her lips on yours-"

I cut her off, "Sienna is a manipulative rich girl I shouldn't have let say with us. She used one of my weaknesses against me and," I sighed, "I shouldn't have let her near me."

"Listen, I know you didn't want her kissing you, I could see it in your eyes. I was just so filled with so many emotions my only reaction was to run and forget about what I saw."

"You mean so much to me, I would never purposely hurt you."

"I know." She paused for a while, "thank you for the book, where'd you find it?"

I laughed and scratched my head, "I drove all the way to a Seattle bookstore."

"No you didn't!"

"I did."

"Thank you."

I smiled, "I don't need thanks."

"Too bad," she smiled.

"Shall we go inside?" I asked.

"We shall."
