Chapter 16:
After Hayden got out of the hospital, things got even better between us. We are now more loving toward one another and are more intimate so to speak. We were both at the point in our lives where we choose to go to college. I want to go to where my parents went so I get scholorship for alumni. Hayden is kind of a procrastinater. All he knows is that he wants to be with me and play sports. I was working on my application essay when he walked into my room. He is allowed at our house whenever and doesn't always tell me when he is coming over.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked and smiled. He came over to my desk and gave me a kiss and then sat on my bed.
"Just came to talk to my favorite person," he said and I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing Jen?"
"My application essay. It is due in a week, remember?"
"Oh yeah. I still have to do that."
"You haven't even started?" I asked shocked.
"Uh, no. It isn't due until a week," he said and I turned around and looked at him.
"Do you want to get into the same college as me?" I asked.
"Babe, of course I do. I just don't want to write that essay right now."
"Well you should start. I can help you. The quicker we get it done, the less time you have to worry."
"I'm not worried."
"Of course not," I muttered under my breath and he caught it and I felt him glare at me while I turned back to my paper.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you always put off important things and don't worry about it. I feel like I have to pull a little bit of weight for you in order to get you motivated. Of course I worry about you, but I shouldn't have to worry about things like this for you."
"You can't control me Jensen! Who said that you even have to worry about me?!" he yelled back. I knew he would get angry at what I said, but it made me upset that he thinks I am trying to control him.
"I know I can't control you and I don't want to! I worry about you because I love you! Ever thought of that? I just really want what is best for you, Hayden," I said calming down a bit after my outburst. I was standing by now along with him. I sighed and looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry," I said and looked to meet his eyes. "But I was just hoping you wouldn't take it that way. I really do just want what is best for you. I love you so much that is scares me to think I might have it all taken away."
He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me. "Who says that it will get taken away from you?" he whispered in my ear and sent chills down my spine. I just shook my head not wanting to talk anymore. We stayed like that for a couple minutes until my dad opened the door.
"Is everything okay in here?" he asked.
"Yeah we just had a little fight is all," Hayden said and winked at me. I smiled.
"Well obviously things are better. I just came in to ask about the yelling and to inform you that you are on your own for dinner tonight. Your mother and I are going out and your brother is at a friend's house. I told him to call you with any problems."
"Okay. Thanks, Dad," I said and he nodded and shut my door again.
"What do you want to do for dinner?" Hayden asked.
"Hmm.." I said thinking. "We could cook here, if you want."
"Okay," he said and we had a couple minutes left before Mom and Dad left.
We ended up just making spaghetti. It is quick and easy. We talked about plans for next year in our first year of college. We watched a movie in my room after dinner.
About 20 minutes in, we started to fool around a little bit. Since we were laying down on my bed, he got on top of me and started to kiss my neck. My breathing hitched a little and I felt Hayden smile into my neck. He slipped mine and his shirts off and then started on the pants. I felt the remote next to me and turned off the TV while he slid down my basketball shorts. He started by entering fingers into my warmth, which then lead me to have my heart accelerate more, if that were possible. When he started licking I couldn't take it anymore and he could tell. So he got stradled on top of me again and winked I was too out of it to even know what was going on. I bit my lip and moaned a little as he entered. A while later wee both climaxed and then he collapsed on top of me and then rolled over and pulled me into his chest. I smiled and snuggled into his side.
"Perfect way to get over a fight," he said and I smiled and nodded in agreement. My phone rang then. I huffed and he laughed.
"Perfect way to ruin a moment," I mutered and he laughed while I reached over to my night stand to answer it. "Hello?" I answered a little bubbly. I was too happy to have something small crush me mood.
"Hey, Jensen?"
"Yeah?" I asked, recognizing Conner's voice.
"Are you sure? You sound way too happy to be her," he said and I scuffed and and rolled my eyes.
"Positive. Now what do you want?" I asked.
"Umm...I am sort of in a bit of trouble. Not really, but kind of," he said and I lifted the sheets up as I sat up.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, I didn't do anything. But my friends are being idiots and making bad choices if you know what I mean. But can you do me a favor and pick me up? Dad said you would," he said and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in. Why did he need me now? And also, why can't he just say no and let them be idiots? Well I guess I knew because he could get into serious trouble. I sighed and opened my eyes again. Hayden was looking at me with concern and confusion in his eyes while he tucked back a string of hair. I smiled slightly.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"At the pizza place."
"Okay I will be there in about 10 minutes. Don't move," I instructed and hung up the phone after he said okay.
"I have to go pick up Conner. I am realy sorry. Apparently he is hanging out with idiots right now," I told Hayden apologetically.
"Don't be sorry. At least we got to finish," he said trying to lighten my mood slightly. Not that it was ever going to go down after that. I smiled and bent down to kiss him.
We got dressed again and I looked at the clock. It is 8 and I was getting a little worried about Conner. I was now wearing jean shorts and a plain black tee.
"Ready?" I asked after rushing a bit. I turned around to see Hayden buckling his belt and then grabbing for a shirt. "You don't have to wear a shirt you know," I teased while laughed a bit. He pulled it over his head and then I frowned.
"Yes I do. It is against the law if I don't."
"How so? I can drive."
"Nope. Your drunk. I will not let my Jensen drive drunk," he said and I gave him a confused look.
"Again I ask, how so?"
"Oh you know you can't think straight after that with me," he said pointing to the bed and I blushed a little.
"And you can?" I challenged.
"I wear off quicker," he said carefully.
"Right..," I joked as he grabbed his keys and wallet. I just brought my phone with me because I wasn't planning on going anywhere else.
"I could really use a shower right now," I said, pulling my hair into a messy bun and then turning on his radio.
"Nah, I think you look perfect," he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Obviously you are more drunk than me now."
"That might be true, but you can't drive without insurance or a lisences," he said and I laughed and nodded while bring my legs up to cross them on the seat.
"Right. We are going to that pizza place by the way," I said while we got closer into town. He nodded and turned in. I turned the radio down and called Conner.
"Hello?" he answered just as bubbily as I had before. I knew he was just mocking me though. I rolled my eyes.
"Shut up and get out here," I said and he laughed and I saw him looking around with the phone still at his ear.
"Hayden's car," I said and he got the relisation look on his face and then started walking towards us.
"Sorry, Hayden. I didn't know that you guys were going to be together tonight," Conner said.
"Don't worry about it," Hayden said and I smiled at him. "Ice cream?" Hayden suggested and I nodded.
"I know it is my turn to buy, but I don't have my wallet...," I said.
"It's okay," he said. "I got it."
"Awhh, thanks babe," I said and he smiled.
"What is up with you two?" Conner asked from the back. I turned around smiling.
"Nothing. We are just happy, that's all."
"Whatever," Conner murmured and I laughed.
Once we got back from ice cream Hayden decided to head home.
"Don't forget to write your application essay," I said and he rolled his eyes.
"I won't."
"You better not!" I said and he laughed and kissed me good bye.
I didn't see Hayden again for the rest of the weekend. I assumed it was because we have finals this week and we both definantely never get study time in if we are together. I laughed at the thought.
The rest of high school and summer that followed went by quickly. Hayden and I both got into the same college. We both have dorm rooms and are setting them up right now. My new roommate's name is Karah and she seems very sweet. Apparently she has many friends but just broke up with her boyfriend. She is your typical blonde hair, blue eyed California girl. The thing that took me by suprize is that she didn't even give Hayden a second glance. Every girl does that now because of his looks. Karah must be more different than I thought. I talked to her about it later that night.
"Okay, we are roommates so I can ask you why you are not like most girls when it comes to Hayden?" I asked while we sat down on the couch together. She sighed.
"Well, I am attracted to him. How could you not be? But he is yours. I can tell by the way he looks at you and vise versa. He won't change his mind for a long time about other girls that he meets," she said and I was shocked.
"Wow. I guess I should say thanks? I don't know I have never been told that. But thank you for being respectful," I said and she nodded and got back to unloading her things.
A week later we all started classes. In one of my science classes I am partners up with this beachy guy. He is tan, muscular and has blond hair with brown eyes. He was attractive I will give him that. He introduced himself with one hand extended out. His name is Will and he is a surfer. Shocking.
But I am not going to judge him on what he does.
"Hey, I'm Jensen," I said while shaking his hand.
"That is an interesting name," he pointed out while we looked at the class requirements book.
"My dad chose it. I don't know how he thought it up though."
"So are you any good at this stuff?" he asked with one of those dumb grins on his face. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Depends on what it is."
"We might be in trouble then," he said and I nodded and laughed a bit. I felt a little awkward because I feel like he is flirting with me, but I can just tell him about Hayden later.
"So you are first year right?" he asked and I nodded. "Need any help around campus?" he asked.
"Umm..no I think I got it figured out. Hayden and I did a self guided tour," I said and then just remember I didn't tell him about Hayden yet.
"Hayden?" Will asked.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. Hayden is my boyfriend. We have been together since sophomore year of high school."
"Dang. You must be pretty serious."
"I guess you could say so," I said.
"That's too bad," he muttered and I didn't want it to be weird so I asked.
"Why?"
"Well, you're amazingly beautiful," he said.
"Thanks. But a guy like you has to be taken as well."
"Why?" he asked as if mocking me. I answered anyways.
"Well," I said in the same mocking tone. He laughed. "You seem like a sweet guy. You know how to work the charm and you aren't too bad looking yourself."
"Why, thank you. I really don't have a girlfriend though."
"Why not?" I asked as if I couldn't help myself.
"Haven't found the right person yet...? I don't know I just don't."
"Makes sense," I shrugged. "Have your eye out for anyone?"
"Maybe. I haven't quite decided yet," he said and his words had an edge to them.
"Well I will keep a look out for you. Do you prefer blonds or brunetts?" I teased.
"Brunetts for sure," he said and I got kind of silent but tried to laugh it off anyways. Will is a really nice guy. He deserves to be happy.
"Well, my new roommate is single. She is a blonde though. But she is really pretty."
"I'll think about it. See you around," he said as our class time was up.
