"I'm all yours"
I sighed, then looked at the dashboard clock. We had five minutes before we'd be officially late. Not all the time we wanted, but maybe this, too, was too much to ask for.
"Okay," I told him as he worked his way back around my neck, his lips moving up to my ear. "I'm all yours"
I could feel him let out a hot breath on my neck when he smiled. He continued moving up my neck to my ear. He kissed my ear gently and moved his hands down my waist.
What did I just do? We should be in class right now, but Nate…I looked up at him, studying the line of his chin, the way his hands were locked firmly around my waist. The closeness of it all was overwhelming.
I turned my head to face him and kissed him strait on. To say he was surprised is an understatement. I was about to pull back after a few seconds when he didn't respond, before he kissed me full on with more passion than he ever had before. Memories of that night in the pool flashed in my mind. The smell of chlorine and him so close to me I could barely breathe.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, tugging him closer. He kept his arm firmly around my waist. My fingers were entwining themselves in his hair as he turned to face me fully. The butterflies in my stomach were almost too much.
I could hear the school bell ringing in the back-round. We were late, but I didn't care in the least bit.
Just then as I was getting use to all the closeness he pulled away, just an inch. Flashes of him pulling away, that day near Christmas were in my head almost as clearly as that night in the pool. The memories of him pushing me away and retreating through that crack in the door. But now, his eyes weren't the same. These were easing me closer, not pulling apart.
But he won't even tell me what is bothering him, and this, this is so, so perfect. I could feel my eyes filling with tears and I did my best to hide them as much as I could. The lump in my throat was rising and becoming bigger. His eyebrows creased in worry.
"Ruby?" One of his hands moved up to stroke my cheek. I looked down, not wanting him to see my cry. His hand hooked under my chin and forced my eyes to meet his. "Ruby what's wrong?" I just shook my head. "Ruby..." He was becoming increasing worried and I could tell. Worried about me.
"We should go inside…" I said in what was an almost inaudible whisper. He looked down momentarily than into my eyes. Worry was clearly written in them. So was guilt and sadness….remorse?
The pain in my stomach when he closed that door on me, disappeared from sight, rang through my head. I could feel the tears running down face and Nate positioned himself in my seat and wrapped his arms around my waist holding me close.
He rubbed small circles on my back and whispered my name over and over again.
"Why did you close the door?" I asked suddenly when my sobs had reduced to an occasional sniffle.
"What?" He sounded really confused. How could he forget when it was only a few weeks ago?
"By Christmas! You closed the door, you wouldn't tell me what was wrong, you didn't even tell me what happened that night at the party." I blurted it all out faster and louder than I had anticipated.
His eyes were downcast. "Ruby..I-"
"You could've at least told me at the party a few days after! But you didn't tell me anything. And you just expect me to sit here and let you..just let you-"
"Ruby!" His tone made me silent as soon as he said it. I had never heard him speak to anyone like that, not even his dad. He was shaking his head like he could not believe what he was hearing. The car was quiet for what felt like it could've been hours. He spoke slowly with an even tone, "It was just my dad. We had the company, you know that. I had things to take care of, and I shouldn't have closed the door on you or explained more"
I stayed quiet, listening to the sounds of both of our breathing. "I'm sorry," I whispered. I was thinking of all the pressure he must have been under and for me to just snap on him like that. He was the closest thing I had. He was mine, I thought. Was I his?
He looked at me momentarily than moved in and kissed me full on the lips. I kissed him back right away. The kiss was intense. His hands went back to easing off my sweater as they had before and mine slowly moved up his toned chest and entwined themselves in his beautiful hair.
Eventually we were in the back seat; my sweater was off and so was his. His arms were wrapped firmly around my waist pulling me closer if it was even possible.
'Perfect,' I thought to myself. Our argument before faded away. What was it even about?
The kisses were long, deep, and passionate. We broke apart after what seemed to be ages and looked deep into each other's eyes and smiled.
"I love you, Ruby" he said slowly. His eyes were feasting on me like he could never get enough, like I would do away in a matter of seconds.
"I love you, Nate" I repeated in the same voice. I studied his eyes, his lashes, and the angle of his chin. My hand reached up and stroked his cheek. He smiled, and grabbed my hand in his and kissed it.
Another school bell had rung. First period ended.
"Well," Nate said with a smirk, "No sense in going in now" I smiled and nodded in agreement. "What do you want to do?"
I looked deep into his eyes and repeated that same words I had before, "I'm all yours"
