SOUR PATCH

• Chapter Twenty Four

"Where am I?" I ask still in disarray.

"We're in the living room," he answers. True enough I realized we are sitting on a couch in front of a plasma TV a movie is still going on,

We are watching Wanted and we are now in the part where Wesley Gibson played by James McAvoy Came back to his shitty apartment. Angelina Jolie and Him sharing a kiss.

So that explains why he is hugging me from behind. we were watching a movie and I fell asleep.

Everything came rushing back to me. It was Friday night and after dinner. Later this Afternoon Clace ask me to be His girlfriend and it was the happiest time of my life. I am still.

but that Dream baffles me. I shake my head reminding myself it's only a nightmare. I won't let a stupid dream ruined my night. but god It seems so real.

"Oh." I breathe out.

"You scared me," he said silently causing me to look at him.

"Why?" I whisper.

"You keep on saying you hate me," he said somewhat hurt. I instantly feel guilty. oh my god.
"What was the nightmare M?" He insisted sensing my disinclination

Should I tell him? I wonder in my head swallowing the lump forming in my throat.

I close my eye bracing myself. It's not like it's real. Maybe I should tell him.

"Um, I-I was walking inside this building, your apartment building to be specific, uh It was tall like those tall buildings in new york... Um, then I heard. I heard. " I stop talking and glance at him. he has this look on his face as if he already knows where my story is heading, his eyes are wide and his lips purse together in a thin line.

heave a deep breath.

Wow, this is harder than I thought.

"You don't have to..." Clace trail off when I open my mouth to continue, looking back at him I saw Hurt in his eye. "It's not real M, god.." he added closing his eye as if It pains him leaning closer to me until his forehead touches mine.

"I'd rather stab myself to death than Cheat on you." He whispers. my breathing hitches from the sound of his voice,

He knew what It was about. and he sounds so hurt.

Why does he sound so hurt? I open my eye looking at him. his eyes are firmly closed. my hand reaches on either side of his face and his pale blue eyes immediately open and he pulls away from our gaze still locks while I caress his cheek with my thumb as he leans in my touch.

"I'm scared."

"I'm not gonna hurt you,"

"I know"

"Trust me please." he pleaded desperately.

Oh god. That's why he's sound hurt. he thought I don't trust him.

"I do, it's just a stupid dream."

"I know, I know,"

"I think it's my biggest fear," I admitted. God, It was hard saying It. telling him about it feels like giving him the knife to stab my back.

Clace face soften and his hand reached for mine that's still holding his face, he engulfs them with his and slowly bringing them to his lips kissing them.

"I love you. so much you know that right? I'll never hurt you, not intentional. but I'll try my best M, you have no idea how long I waited for this, the dream of this, holding you as this and I will never fuck this up swear, It kills me seeing you hurt." he promised to look at me with so much sincerity and intensity. as if It physically hurt him. And I believed him, I realized that telling him about my fear is a good thing. he knows exactly how much It will break me.

I nod my head, he let go of my hand and reaches of my face wiping my tears that are leaking running down my cheeks. I didn't realize I'm crying.

"I love you." He keeps muttering as he leans closer until his nose touches mine.

We stay like this for god knows how long drinking each other in. our breathing dance together with our heart. It's like a very special moment we share. no words express but understanding one another I feel like my feelings for him grow. It was so overwhelming.

"Do you want me to stay away from her?" He suddenly asks making me frown.

Who is he talking about?

"Kelly," he answered my thoughts.

"What?"

"Vicky told me..." He trails off. he doesn't need to continue.

He knows I don't like her, he knows how threatened I am by her.

"She likes you."

I know how ridiculous I sound, how ridiculous I am being but I need to tell him. I need to let him know.

"I know," Clace answer sighing. "She told me."

My heart stops.

She told him. She told him. Clace knew. Oh god. the thought of her confessing makes me shiver in disgust. And here I thought she's a shy girl. And she knows I'm Clace's girlfriend.

F*cking sneaky bitch.

"Don't look at me like that please." Clace pleads "I told her how much I love you and she said to understand, she said she'll stay away. She's nothing compares to you."

I must be glaring. I must be looking like a murderer that makes him said those words.

"Yeah. I want you to stay away." I answer him. I am so aware of how childish and ridiculous I am being. but the thought of him and Kelly after that disturbing dream scares me to death.

I don't care if I'm being too selfish. too possessive or downright clingy. but as long as he is far away from her my heart and my mind is at peace.

Clace nods his head immediately, I studied his face, and there's nothing but understanding written on it. It made me breathe in relief.

How the hell am I so lucky? I must have done something right. He is perfect.

We stare at each other for god knows how long before he broke the silence in a soft most endearing word he had ever uttered to me.

"You're It for me."

His words hold a lot of promises. Promises I know he will keep, and that moment I know I am so in deep I have given my heart to him and I know he will be keeping It safe.

I can't help but smile.

"You're It for me too."

And he closes the gap between our lips and we share the very first kiss as a couple.

All my worries flew out of the window.
