"I have to tell my dad about Christian" Ana sighs as she closes her textbook and looks over at Kate who is reading as well.
"WHAT!? You haven't told him?" she exclaims jumping off of her bed and running to sit next to her.
"No… I.. and now we are leaving the state… I have to tell my dad"
"Why haven't you told him?"
"I don't know… he went so crazy over what happened with Nate. I'm his daughter, he's overprotective. I just…I don't know Kate!"
"The guy told his mother he loves you and you can't tell your dad he exists?"
"Way to make me feel like shit, Kate. It's not like I'm hiding him, I just know my dad"
"Well we're leaving for Miami in like 3 days. It might be time to drop him a line" she rolls her eyes.
"I know… a trip I'm less than thrilled to be going on by the way"
"Oh stop it, it'll be fun!"
"Yeah until I run into a girl Christian has fucked and I want to rip her hair out. Add alcohol into the mix and I really will be calling my dad to bail my ass out of a Florida jail"
"You're being dramatic"
"And I don't know how you're so excited. Elliott has probably fucked half of the Miami population"
"Thanks" she rolls her eyes. "I don't know Steele; he has made me feel really comfortable about coming. He's even taking me out on his boat, just me and him! They have a boat can you believe it!"
"I believe it" she mutters to herself.
"I guess… Elliott and I aren't in love. I mean he hasn't slept with anyone since he met me, so he says. And I believe him. I guess it's different. I understand your apprehension because you and Christian are damn near married at this point."
She rolls her eyes and walks out of her room and outside. She starts pacing in the courtyard as she thinks about calling her dad. Now or never, Steele. Hop to it.
"Annie!"
"Hi dad!"
"How's it going, how's school?"
"Same as when I talked to you on Sunday daddy" she giggles.
"Good. Glad to hear it, you okay? Do you need anything?"
Yes, your approval. Desperately. "Umm no, I'm okay"
"Well what's on your mind, I hear you dancing around something"
"Well…"
"Spill it, kiddo"
She looks up to see her devastatingly handsome boyfriend walking towards her and her eyes widen, she puts her finger to her lips and shakes her head but he seems to not care and is still moving like a man on a mission towards her.
"One second, dad" she mutes her phone just in time for his lips to be on hers.
"Fuck, I've missed these lips all day." He says between kisses. She giggles and pulls away.
"I've missed yours too, but I'm on the phone with my dad. Give me a little, okay?"
He nods and pecks her cheek before heading inside. Phew.
"Sorry daddy"
"Okay, so what's up?"
"Well… ummm I met someone"
"Oh?"
"He's fantastic, dad. I can't wait for you to meet him"
"I see"
"Dad, please just… I need for you to give him a chance, I love him"
"LOVE? Ana, you've been in college what, two minutes?"
"Almost two months, actually"
"You know what I mean, Ana. When did you meet him?"
"The day I moved in actually… he's my neighbor"
"Oh good God. I knew I didn't want you living in a co-ed dorm"
"Daddy, it's not like that. We just… I… I think he's the one"
"Ana, you thought Nate was the one and you saw how that blew up"
She's silent and he knows he crossed a line "Dammit, Annie, I'm sorry. I just worry about you. You're so trusting and I just don't want you to get hurt again"
"I know daddy and I love you for that, but I need you to trust me. Once you meet Christian, you'll understand. He actually met Nate."
"What?"
"Yeah… he flew out here to try and get me back"
"Son of a bitch. I thought I made myself pretty damn clear"
"I guess not… anyway Christian punched him"
"Well I'm liking him a little better now"
She giggles "He's… very protective of me, dad. He would never hurt me"
"Well I suppose I'll just have to meet this Christian that has my daughter so smitten"
"You'll really like him."
"Well, if you like him I like him."
She's silent and he picks up on it "What else, young lady"
"Well… ummm so his brother came to visit and he and Kate really hit it off so he invited her to come to visit him. And wants Christian and me to come too… so…"
"And just where does this brother live?"
"Ummm"
"Anastasia" he says sternly
"Florida?"
"FLORIDA!"
"Dad, it's just for the weekend"
"Ana, I haven't met this guy or his brother and—"
"But you've met Kate!"
"You're not helping your case, Ana" he warns
"Okay, you've met me!"
He's silent and then he sighs "You're right"
"When have I given you a reason not to trust me?"
"It's not about trust, Ana. I do trust you. Sometimes I don't always trust your judgment. I'm worried you'll get down there and something will happen and you'll be stranded. And then I'll have to kill someone. This isn't like in Seattle when I could just come pick you up if you felt uncomfortable. You're across the country"
"How is this different than college?"
"Well for one you have a safe place to stay, and I know that"
"I will in Florida"
He sighs "Well Ana you're an adult now, and part of being an adult means making mistakes and learning from them. Maybe this isn't a mistake but… wait just how are you paying for a plane ticket to Florida?"
"Oh Christian paid for it"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah… he sort of… comes from… money"
"Ah, I see"
"Dad, I know what you're thinking, but I promise when you meet him over Thanksgiving break you will love him!"
"Wait… what? He's coming home with you?"
"Oh yeah… about that. He actually lives in Seattle. How crazy, right?"
"Wow, that is crazy. Well I am looking forward to meeting this Christian... Now Ana, you call me the second you land do you understand me?"
"Yes, dad"
"Alright, well I love you kiddo"
"I love you too"
She hangs up and lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She knocks on Christian's door when she gets inside. He grabs her hand and yanks her in cupping her face.
"Hi beautiful"
"Hi" she smiles at him
"How's your dad?"
"Good… I had to tell him about Miami. He was skeptical but…"
"You told him I would be there to keep you out of trouble?" he chuckles
"Wellllll that might have worked if… he knew you existed"
"You hadn't told him"
"No"
"Why?"
"It's not you… I swear. It's just how everything went down with Nate. My dad was… probably a little too involved with what was going on."
"I see"
She grabs his face to look at her "Hey. I told him how much I love you and that you were nothing like Nate… he wants to meet you"
"So he's okay with you going to Miami?"
"Yeah, he'll probably kill you if anything happens to me though" she giggles
"I would never"
"I know" she smiles "I have to get to practice."
"Want me to take you?"
"Nope, Emma is picking me up. Thanks though." She plants a kiss on him and then she's gone.
Once she's gone he picks up the phone immediately.
"We need to talk"
"Little brooooski, can't wait till your asses get down here. It's supposed to be sunny and 80 all weekend"
"Great, listen. We need to talk"
"About what"
"Keeping Lauren away from me"
"Oh please… and just Lauren? I seem to recall a Chloe and an Amanda" he laughs
"Yes them too, but I only think Lauren would be a problem. I hooked up with her more than once and we texted a little back and forth when I went back to Seattle."
"Say what? I didn't know that… well look I think Lauren is seeing someone now anyway"
"You still talk to her?"
"I see her every once in a while"
"Well can we not. I don't want Ana to be uncomfortable. She's already wary about coming"
"Why?"
"Because she knows I've hooked up with girls down there"
"Why does she know that?"
"I don't know we were talking about how many people we slept with and—"
"WHOAAA red flag! You don't do that. And if you do, you downplay. Always downplay"
"E, I'm at 6. Well now 7 with Ana. I don't know really know how to downplay it"
"Oh that's it? I could have sworn you hooked up with more"
"No, so can you just… keep them away from us, got it?"
"Alright man, don't want to cause any problems for you and the Mrs."
"Shut up" he laughs. "Thanks though"
"So you guys will be here by two?"
"Yep we're leaving right after my class."
"Sweet, can't wait. I'll pick you guys up at the airport"
"Great"
"Laters"
Friday was there before they knew it and Sean was driving them to the airport.
"Now children, I want everyone to behave" Sean jokes from the front seat.
"Yes dad!" Ana chirps from the backseat.
"I want you all to mind your manners, and be sure to not drink too much"
"Boooooo" Kate yells.
"Last time I checked you are not 21; do not make me come down there to bail you out of jail" he stares Kate down in the rearview mirror.
"Yes sir" Kate salutes.
He laughs "Alright you guys have fun"
"Thanks for the ride Sean. Don't tear up the room while I'm gone" Christian says getting out of the car.
"Don't worry I'll only have a girl or five over" he winks.
He laughs "You know where I keep condoms"
"Yeah not like you mother fuckers use them. Lucky bastard"
He rolls his eyes and laughs "You know what time to pick us up Sunday?"
"Yes, for the thousandth time, I'll be here"
They're sitting on the plane with Kate next to the window and Ana in the middle.
"We're almost ready" she giggles as she looks out the window.
Ana reaches over and closes the shade and closes her eyes as she breathes in and out
"You're soooo dramatic, Ana"
"Shut up, Katherine. You know I don't like flying"
"We're going to Miami" she starts singing to herself.
"Stop talking." She looks at Christian "Make her stop talking"
"She's such a baby!"
"Am not!"
"Lucy, Ethel. Pipe down." He jokes. "I'm not listening to you two argue the whole way down"
"She started it!" they both say at the same time.
"Fuck I need alcohol" he groans.
"Ooh me too!" Kate says.
"Neither of you are 21, hush!" She grips the arm rest as they start to move.
"Baby everything is going to be okay" he strokes her face "Just breathe in and out" They start to taxi onto the field and pretty soon they are moving faster and then in the air. He could sense she was holding her breath as they got in the air. He feels the plane drop a little and he felt her finger nails in his skin and sees her knuckles turn white around the arm rest. "Keep breathing" She shakes her head no as she's no longer squeezing her eyes shut, but they are still closed. "You're doing so well" he says tucking a loose strand behind her ear.
She lets the breath go that she was holding. "Are we there yet?" She feels the plane drop again and squeezes her eyes shut.
"Not quite" he answers.
She nods and lets go of his hand as she feels them start to level off. She opens her eyes just in time for a tear to go streaming down her face.
"Oh shit... Ana" He wipes her tears. "Hey look at me everything is going to be fine okay?" He puts the arm rest up and pulls her into his chest and strokes her back. He hears her sniffle into his chest and he kisses her head. "I love you" he whispers.
She looks up to rub her nose with his "I love you too"
They land in Miami and immediately Kate and Ana shed their sweats and hoodies.
"God it's so hot here!" The three of them head to get their bags and Kate's eyes light up when she sees Elliott standing by baggage claim. She sprints to him and drops her purse as she jumps into his arms. "I missed you" she whispers wrapping her legs around him.
"Fuck I missed you too" he kisses her deeply until Christian and Ana clear their throats.
"Bro, Ana! So glad you guys are here"
Kate climbs out of his arms and he grabs her hand. When they turn their backs Christian and Ana exchange a look like "are they for real?" They exchange a laugh and follow behind them.
Elliott's place is gorgeous. A mile from the beach with a pool in his backyard. "How in the hell do you get any work done here?" Ana asks. "This place is badass!"
"It's hard" he laughs
"How often do you go to the beach?"
"Tooooo fucking often"
"So ummm guys, the guest room is on the left, I'm going to give Kate a ummm… tour" he says as she giggles and they disappear into his bedroom.
"Wanna get in the pool?" she asks.
"Sex first"
"Was that even a question?" she giggles as he chases her into the guest room.
She's got her feet in the pool as she's reading when she feels a splash in her direction.
"Hey!" she giggles
"Get in"
"But I should finish this chapter; you told me I would have soooome time to study"
"Yes and that time isn't now"
She tosses her book on the lounger and sighs "Fine." She gets in the water and swims over to him climbing up his body and putting her arms around his neck.
"I'm fucking you in this pool before the weekend is over" he whispers in her ear as he draws circles on her back.
"Mmmm I'm game. But Elliott has roommates"
"We'll figure it out"
They spend the rest of the day relaxing and then go out to dinner at a local restaurant. Elliott was having a party the following night but one of his friends was having one that night that they decided to go to. Truth be told, Ana was more than a little worried about running into any of Christian's "friends" but after a few shots of tequila the worry seemed to melt away.
"Mmmm you are so hot" Ana whispers in his ear as he takes his shot. He smiles down at her and kisses her lightly. "I love you. I don't know why I was so worried" she giggles.
"See? I told you it would be fine" he whispers back to her.
"Fuck I am horny" he whips his head to look at her with wide eyes.
"You are insatiable" he backs her into a corner out of sight from the rest of the party and kisses her deeply. She moans out his name as his hand makes his way under her dress and into her panties. "Jesus Ana, your panties are soaked." Right on cue she blushes and it makes his dick spring to life. "What have you been thinking about?"
"You"
"Mmmmhm what about me?" he says nibbling on her ear.
"You fucking me until I can't stand"
"Anything else?"
"Yes"
"Like?"
"Me… sucking… ahh" she feels him bite down on her shoulder. "… your huge dick"
He pulls away from her and looks at her in awe he had never heard her talk like that before and it turned him the hell on. "Why Anastasia Steele"
"Yes?" she smiles innocently.
"I can't wait to get you naked" he whispers in her ear.
"What's stopping you?"
"Because I don't suspect these bathrooms are very clean" he scrunches his nose. "We do it at Charlie's because I know him… and Vanessa keeps it spic and span" he laughs.
"Fiiiine"
Kate finds them and grabs her hand "I have to talk to you" she yanks hard. "Alone"
"But—" This is what she didn't want. What she was afraid of. Being separated from Christian. She looks back at him and frowns.
"I'll wait here for you" he yells towards her
"Promise?" she mouths
He nods and she smiles and holds up her hand to indicate 5 minutes.
"Where's Elliott?" Ana asks
"Playing beer pong. Listen Ana… don't freak out"
"I'm not freaking out"
"Someone is here"
"Who?"
"Someone Christian slept with"
Her entire body tenses and she feels the color leave her face "And you thought the best thing for you to do was to drag me away from him!? And how do you even know?"
"I heard them talking"
"Them?"
"Oh yes… apparently there are two of them… at the same time. If you catch my drift"
She feels herself getting ready to throw up "I need to sit down" she says feeling her eyes well up with tears.
"Hey, stop it. It's okay. I just… I set them straight."
"What did you say? What did they say?"
"They just said they heard he was in town but then saw you and was wondering who you were. I turned around and told them you were his girlfriend and that I would kick the shit out of both of them if they went near either of you. Then I told Elliott, and I think he's trying to get them out"
She stares at her for a second "A threesome though?"
"It's just what I heard… maybe it was just them both in the same night? I'm not really sure. But they both seemed very knowledgeable on each other's experiences. Kinda gross though. I mean he was a senior in high school and they were juniors"
"Stop talking. I want to get back to Christian"
Meanwhile-
"I thought I recognized you" she laughs as she moves closer to him. "But I didn't think that was possible as I didn't even know you were coming to town. I thought you would have texted me" she smiles.
He immediately tenses "Lauren… wh—what are you doing here?"
"What do you mean what am I doing here? I go to school here silly" she giggles. "What are youuu doing here?"
"I'm here with my girlfriend. Ana. My girlfriend."
"My oh my, The Grey brothers really are locked down. I thought I had to see it to believe it. Kate is adorable. A little young for El, but okay. But you… who is this girl that has you so smitten?"
"I'm in love with her Lauren, so just… I have to go"
"So I don't get to meet her?"
"No. You don't"
"Oh come on, we can compare notes" she giggles.
"Stay away from her Lauren, I mean it" He walks away from her anxious to get to Ana and get the hell out of there.
If like a scene from a movie Ana finally makes her way back to where they were in the kitchen and doesn't see him.
Where are you? She texts him and feels herself getting frantic already when she sees a pretty tall brunette approach her.
"You look lost, are you looking for someone?"
"I'm not lost exactly" she laughs nervously. "Just looking for my boyfriend"
"Ah, well I'm sure he's around here somewhere"
"I left him here, he said he would wait. I was gone like 5 minutes" she rolls her eyes.
She cocks her head to the side "Are you Ana?"
She feels her palms start to sweat and knows that this is not about to be a friendly conversation. "Yes, why?"
"Oh my gosh! Hi! I'm Lauren. You are so cute!"
"Uhh… thanks?"
"When Christian said he was here with his girlfriend, I knew I had to meet you. I mean he wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea after what we had going on. But you are so adorable!" she gushes over-enthusiastically
She feels her mouth go dry and backs up a little. "You saw Christian?"
"Yes, he just left to look for you, I think! I am really happy for him. You are one lucky girl, the things that man can do" she giggles.
She feels something inside her snap and she knows that this bitch is not being genuine. "Fuck you"
"Excuse me?" she says secretly happy that she struck a nerve
"Stay the fuck away from Christian"
"Funny. He is the one who had trouble staying away from me, sweetheart"
"Go to hell bitch" and with that she's gone tearing through the crowd and out the front door before she can think. A threesome, this girl Lauren… like what the fuck.
She realizes she's been gripping her phone tightly and sees a text from Kate and Christian.
I'm with Kate, where are you?
Steele, where are you?!
She ignores them both and opts to call someone who always knows what to do.
"ANA! How is Miami?"
"Are you drunk?"
"Nope, studying"
And immediately she's sobbing "I hate it here. I'm at a party and I've just run into a girl Christian fucked and apparently there are two more running around that he had a threesome with. What the fuck am I doing here, Vanessa?"
"Shit. Where's Christian?"
"I don't know, inside with Kate."
"Okay, start over, what happened" She tells her the story and Vanessa sighs. "She's just trying to get in your head"
"It worked"
"You can't let her. She's a stupid jealous bitch. You need to march your ass back in there, get your man and leave."
"But"
"Ana Steele. Don't make me come down there, because I'll turn that entire place out"
She giggles through her tears "I know"
"Now go inside, get Christian and go back to Elliott's. Okay?"
"Okay."
"And do not argue with him at the party, you don't want to be that girl. As a matter of fact, go in there plant a large obvious over the top kiss on him, grab his hand and walk out with your head held high. Let him have it when you get home"
"Okay"
"Call me when you get home"
"I love you girl, it's going to be fine. Christian worships you"
She sighs "I know"
She looks at her phone when she gets off and sees more texts and calls that she ignored while they were on the phone.
-Ana baby, talk to me. I didn't know any of them would be here, I swear.
-I'm with Kate, right where you guys were. I don't want to move because I feel like you'll come back here. Right?
- I love you. I'm sorry
She walks inside and immediately spots Kate and Christian. She ignores what Kate is trying to say and grabs his face crushing his lips to hers. He moans into her mouth and she takes the opportunity to touch his tongue with hers. This goes on for about a minute when she pulls apart leaving them breathless.
"Baby, I'm so—"
"Shh" she says putting a finger to his lips. "Let's go" she says grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the door.
Kate watches in shock as the scene before her unfolds. She happens to catch the eye of the two girls she heard talking and she smirks. She smiles to herself and pulls out her phone to text Ana before heading back to the table to see Elliott.
You go girl ;)
The walk home is tense and he is terrified at what she's going to say.
"Please say something" he begs
Silence
"Ana, please"
Silence
He stops and puts his hands on her face "Look at me" she looks up. "I… They don't mean anything Ana, you know that"
"I know"
"Then why aren't you talking to me? Why are you so mad?"
"Because I've got Kate talking to me about some fucking threesome you had and then I have Lauren telling me how lucky I am because everything you can do in bed or some shit like that. I didn't even want to come! To Miami, to this party. But you and Kate begged me. And me being the person who has to fucking please everyone agreed to it. I knew it. I FUCKING KNEW IT. So you want to know why I am so mad? Because you don't have enough fucking common sense to KNOW that maybe I shouldn't take my girlfriend to a party where all of my fucking whores will be. You completely COMPLETELY shut me out the second you saw Nate. And he wasn't some girl I got off the street as I passed through town. He barely even got my name out before I was dragging you upstairs to see if you were okay. I would NEVER put you in a situation like this. Like the situation you put me in tonight. It's bullshit and you know it" at this point she's screaming and she's too angry at herself and him to cry.
He had never seen her so angry before. He watched her look like she could cry at any minute but felt like he couldn't move from his spot. "Ana" he chokes out feeling like he could cry himself.
She backs up when he takes a step towards her. "No. You can't just kiss me and think that this will all go away"
"I love you"
"I know"
"I'm sorry"
"I know that too"
"What can I do?"
She sits on the curb and sighs "Nothing"
He sits next to her and hesitates but eventually puts an arm around her and kisses her head. "Please tell me this isn't over"
"It's not over" she whispers. "I know this isn't necessarily your fault, I'm sorry I blamed you. I just—a threesome?"
He starts to say something and she puts her hands up "Toooo much information. I don't want to know"
"If it's any consolation, I have no recollection of it"
"It's not"
"I had no idea any of them would be there… I warned Elliott to make sure they weren't around. Baby I'm so sorry."
"I don't want to talk about it anymore" she sighs
His phone beeps indicating a text. Unknown number? He opens it and immediately feels nauseous.
Sorry if I got you in trouble with your girlfriend, it was good seeing you as always ;) Xx-Lauren
He hears movement next to him and sees that she's up and walking away.
"Ana"
"Don't" he can practically see the green on her skin.
"She's had my number since before, it's not like I gave it to her tonight… Ana..."
"Stop talking"
"Please don't hate me"
Silence. They get back to the room and she pulls off her clothes and pulls his t-shirt on before sliding into bed. He's hesitant on whether or not he should climb in with her.
"Are you coming to bed or not?" she snaps.
He sighs and climbs into bed with her wary of whether he should touch her. She turns to face him and he flinches slightly but softens when he sees she's been crying.
"I'm jealous, okay? If there was even any question." He starts to say something back but she puts a hand up. "I hate feeling jealous. I hate feeling like this. And a part of me hates you for bringing me back here again. I've been here and… it sucks. It hurts, Christian… And they're older and clearly more experienced than me and—"
He's stunned that she's opened up so much. "First of all, you have nothing to be jealous of. I love you. Only you… it's only ever been you. These girls… it was stupid and meaningless and I wish they didn't happen because it's fucking things up between you and me and I hate all of them for it. Secondly, I love our sex life if I don't say enough. I didn't think I had to say it the way I'm on top of you 24/7 but let's be clear. You, Ana Steele are the best sex of my life. Do I need to say it again?"
"No" she says quietly.
"Good"
"You think I have prudish tendencies though"
"Ooookay, that was a joke. Baby" he strokes her hair and pulls her into his chest. "I'm sorry I said that, it was insensitive"
"It didn't bother me until now." She sits up and sighs running a hand through her hair as she turns on the lamp next to the bed. "I love you. Sometimes it scares me how much I love you… how hard and how fast I fell in love with you. And then we come here and… I'm not necessarily threatened because I know you love me but it doesn't feel particularly good to meet these girls that you've been with. And aren't exactly tactful about it. I mean Lauren… whatever she was a bitch and wanted to get under my skin. But the two that were blatantly talking about it loud enough for Kate to hear? Like real class acts, Christian."
He puts a hand on his face "What do you want me to say, Ana? Like you're yelling at me about my past, a very drunken past, I might add and I get it Lauren was a bitch to you. But making me feel like shit over it isn't going to make you feel any better"
"It might" she mutters
"Okay. Look I've apologized many times, what do you want me to do? I will do anything to make things right between us"
She's silent for a minute "She's not even pretty"
"That's mature"
"Oh you disagree?"
"Now you're just trying to start a fight"
"You still haven't answered"
"No, Ana I do not disagree"
"Don't say it if you don't mean it"
"I mean it"
"Whatever."
"I'm going downstairs to raid Elliott's fridge" and he's gone before she can reply.
About 20 minutes go by and she expects that he would be back by now. I just want to kiss and makeup. But you're too fucking stubborn Ana. He apologized a million times and at one point you probably could have gotten a car out of him or some jewelry at the rate he was begging for forgiveness. But you just haaaad to go too far.
She walks downstairs and hears the TV on and sees her boyfriend on the couch in the living room mindlessly watching something while eating some leftover pizza.
"Can I have some?" she asks quietly
He holds it out to her without looking at her and she sits next to him and tucks her legs under her bottom. She takes the remote from him and mutes the TV
"I don't want to fight anymore Ana"
"Me either" she says feeling tears well in her eyes.
He turns to look at her feels his heart melt a little. He grabs her face and brings her lips to his "I love you" he whispers between kisses.
"I love you more" she whispers back as they are shedding clothes at a frantic pace. The kisses are desperate, needy, and full of love. Every time he kisses her she feels a new level of passion and excitement. But this was different. Their kisses said everything they were feeling "I'm sorry" "You're the only one for me" "I love you" He's sliding into her devastatingly slow and she moans beneath him to go faster.
"No. I need you to feel this. Feel me. You have to know that you're the only woman I've ever made love to" he cups her cheek as he enters her inch by inch. She's clawing at his back feeling a new sense of passion that she had never felt. She throws her head back as he pounds into her going deeper with every thrust.
"Fuck" he runs his tongue from behind her ear down her neck as she moans out his name. He is mildly aware that someone could come in at any moment but he didn't care. All he could see was this insanely sexy woman writhing beneath him. "Look at me"
She looks up and feels his eyes burning into her "Yours" he whispers as he grabs her hand and places it over his heart.
Her breath gets caught in her throat at the gesture "Yours" she whispers back as she does the same thing to him.
A/N Such a sad chapter to write! I hate girls. Haha. I really just wanted to have her give Lauren one good punch but I didn't want to get too crazy. Next chapter will be another outtake as I need some happy after this one! And then the chapter after will be the rest of the Miami trip.
