Here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy
*Night of the big event.*
Ryleigh was more than nervous about going to this bug event with Jon. She knew that he was so much older than her and the fact that he was showing interest in her just made her feel great inside and out. She looked at her dress and smiled making sure that things were looking good. Leslie walked into the room and smiled looking her cousin over "Damn Ryleigh your looking amazing tonight. " she said
"You think?" She asked
"Oh I know you do. Mox is going to be all over you once he sees you in that dress." Leslie said
"Leslie we are just friends there is nothing going on between us other than us being friends." She said
"You never know girlie. But you really do look amazing. " she said taking pictures of Ryleigh before hearing someone at the door. "Oh my god he is here." She said
"Sounds like it." She said gettimg nervous
"You will be fine." Leslie said
*Jon's POV*
I smiled looking up at the door as Mary opened it and let him in after telling him that he look very nice. He thanked her as he walked in looking around the room waiting for his date. He was nervous because he never had anyone that he liked to talk to as much as he did her. He looked at all the pictures that were out and that was something new to him because he has never done that before. He was more than nervous with everything that has been going on with his life. He has never been able to date since the way he grew up. He looked up and his breathe caught as he saw her walking down. He had never seen someone so beautiful.
Ryleigh smiled seeing him staring at her which made her blush. Leslie smiled knowing Jon thought she was hot in the dress she had picked out for her cousin to wear. She walked over to him and smiled "You clean up nice Mr. Good." She said
"Why thank you Ms. Jones. And if I must say your looking gorgeous tonight. " he said kissing her cheek.
"Thank you." She replied.
"Okay you two its time for pictures and I dont want to hear any complaining Ryleigh." Leslie said
"Fine." She said
"Good." Leslie said as she got a couple pictures of them together before letting them get on their way. Jon opened the car door helping her into the car before going and getting into the drivers side
Ryleigh was getting a little nervous being that this was the first date that she has been on since her break up with Darrell. She knew that she shouldnt think of it as a date, but Leslie kind of had her thinking that it was a date since bringing it up. Jon noticed that she was nervous and he slowly put his hand on her knee making her heart race as she looked over at him. He smiled "Relax everything is going to be just fine." He said
"I dont know why I am so nervous." She said
"Hey your not the only one nervous here. This is the first real date that I have had in awhile." He said
"Wait...did you say date?" She asked
"Yeah. Why?"
"Because I honestly didnt think that this was a date." She said
"Well thats because you have never had a guy like me." He said
"I only had one guy." She said low
"Really? No wonder you are shy." He saie
"Yeah well im guessing that is apart of me that I cant control." She replied
"Well we are going to change alot about you." He said smiling as he pulled up to the place.
Ryleigh smiled looking around seeing everyone there and that is when her nerves set in again. Jon got out of the truck before helping her out of the truck and holding her close "listen everything is going to okay. Your going to be with me the whole time and we are going to have a blast." He said watching her nod before taking her hand and walking inside the building with her. Ryleigh looked around at the place smiling at how beautiful the place actually looked amazing. She held onto Jon's hand tight as he talked to some of his buddies left and right telling them that Ryleigh was his girl that they had better back off when it came to her. The guys had never ever seen Mox acting this way about anyone before and they knew that he meant business if he was acting that way now.
*as the party progress.*
Jon made sure to keep Ryleigh close to him since he didnt want her feeling uncomfortable. Sami and Jamie were there with them and he smiled as he saw his cousin was talking and having a good time with Jon, but he knew what was all about. He was concerned with her being underage that something bad could happen to her or him and he just didnt want that to happen. Jamie told him that they were just like that before and Jon never gave him trouble. Jamie always made since when Sami was being just a jerk about things that is why he just let them be. Jon held her close as they danced to a slow song. Ry had her head on his shoulder smiling before hearing Trina walking up "Jon there you are. I was hoping that we could have a couple dances together that is if your date doesnt mind." She said smirking.
"Trina I told you that I didnt want any trouble. " he said
"Come on Mox lets just dance." She said pushing Ryleigh out of the way
"Trina!" Jon yelled as Ryleigh shoved her back before saying
"You really need to stop pushing your slutty ass all over him when he clearly doesnt want you." She said as Jamie and Sami walked up
"Problem here?" He asked
"Yeah your bitch of a cousin."
"No. Your the issue thinking you going to come here and run your damn mouth and push me like im yesterday's trash." Ry said
"Sami you know me. I would never just ask Mox." She said
"Jon? " he asked
"Trina started it after I told her to back off."
"Jon baby." She started
"Trina back the fuck off of my cousin right now before I beat your ass across this floor myself." Jamie snapped
Trina glared as she stomped away from them.
"I swear I hate her." Jamie said
"Us too." The guys replied
"Im going to the bathroom." Ry replied
Jon watched he as she just walked to the bathroom unsure if she was upset with him or something else. Sami told him that everything was fine that she done that when she was upset at another female. Jon nodded walking over to the bathroom and waited for her to get out. Ryleigh walked out and bumped into him "im sorry." She said before looking up into the most beautiful set of blue eyes she had ever scene. Jon smiled rubbing her cheek as he held her close before leaning down and kissing her. She was shocked that he kissed her at first before she returned it wrapping her arms around his neck. Jon held he close to him as possible not wanting to let her go and after a few minutes they broke apart in need for air. Jon looked down at her "Wow." Was all he could say
"That was the best kiss that I have ever had." She replied
"Me too. What do you say about us getting out of here?" He asked
"What about your friends and the party?" She asked
"I can see them anytime bright eyes. The party is getting boring. I just want to spend sometime with you without the distractions of everyone else." He said
She looked at him and nodded "okay."
He smiled kissing her one more time before taking her hand and walking out if the place with Sami and Jamie watching them. Jamie had Sami calm enough now with her being with Jon. Sami knew that he was the sameway about Jamie but he couldnt help but to worry because he knew that Jon wasnt the settling down type and he was afraid that he was going to hurt her like he done everything else. Jon led her out to the car and helped her in before getting in and driving towards his place. Ryleigh was a little more nervous than she had been before, but she wasnt about to let her nerves get the best of her since she wanted to do this.
Jon pulled in front of his crappy apartment building before getting out and helping her out of the car. He led her into the building putting his arm around to keep her close since he didnt trust anyone in his building with her. He got to his door unlocked it quick and letting her in first before rushing in shutting and locking the door behind him. Ry looked around smiling a little. Jon watched her "I know its not what your use to, but its home for me." He replied
"No its fine. Its a breathe of fresh air to know that there isnt always fancy things in the world." She replied
"Yeah well your the first girl that has seen where I live. I dont like for others to know much about me." He said
"Im glad you trust me enough to allow me to see this." She says
He smiled as they talked about everything and before they knew it the time had flown by and it was late. Jon noticed that she was tired and offered her to stay there with him which she gladly accepted. He grabbed her one of his shirts and some shorts before allowing her to get ready for bed. When he returned his breathe was taken away by her beauty and how hot she looked in his clothes.
"You can umm...have the bed and ill take the couch." He said
"No this is your place so you should have your bed and I can sleep on the couch." She said
"Im not going making you sleep on the couch." He started
"And im not letting you sleep in the couch." She said
"Fine. How about we both sleep on the bed?" He suggested
"Okay." She said
He nodded watching her get into the bed. Jon got next to her and they laid there in silence before he knew they heard a noise that caused her to jump closer to him. He smiled wrapping his arms around her keeping her close to him. She felt so safe in his arms that it was unreal, but she knew that this was only a friendship no matter how much she wanted it to be more. She finally closed her eyes and fell asleep as Jon watched her closely. His heart was burning to keep her safe and sound and make her his but he was scared due to his past. He just didnt trust anyone with his heart because he was hurt before. He just didnt know what to do.
