I hope you enjoy

I was left standing in the room with Christian, which anytime last week would have been fine but a lot has changed in just a few short hours. It felt weird to be anywhere near him but at the same time I could stay here in this awkward silence for as long as I had to avoid the coming confrontation.

"Do you think that we can talk without one of us winding up in a headlock?" he asked breaking the inch thick ice between us.

"I don't know Christian, are you going to call me a bloodwhore or tell me I'm worthless?"

"Look I was wrong, at the time I wanted to prove a point-"

"Consider it proven; I am now a worthless bloodwhore who can't control her temper."

"Stop calling yourself that, you know it's not true," he said closing the distance between us. "I don't know why but even after you did all those things to me I still loved you and I hated that. I wanted you to hurt, but not expelled. I didn't even mean for things to get physical."

"Wow no kidding?"

"Honestly but I guess you pushed me like I pushed you."

"Look it doesn't even matter anymore I am no longer a student in this hellhole or your guardian, so what do you want from me?"

"I want to try again." he said taking my hand and sitting me down with him on the couch.

"You can't be serious...we were just fighting this morning and now you want me to be your girlfriend?"

"Rose, when you were...um when Lissa's rage was in you, all but ripped her head off because you thought she was still in love with me."

"So..."

"So the question is, are you still in love with me?"

I didn't want to give the seemingly obvious answer knowing he knew it was a pointless question.

"That's what I thought, so tell me, did you really break it off with me because you couldn't make up your mind or because you thought lissa still wanted me?"

"Why is that important?"

"I just needed to know before I did this." he said leaning in to kiss me. It was like our first kiss in the quad when he was still with Lissa. It was soft and full of compassion, the only difference being that now it wasn't limited to a secret he was putting his heart into it. When someone kisses you like that, you have two choices the first being to push them off or match their feelings both of which have huge consequences and can change the status of any relationship.

Closing my eyes, I put all of my emotions in it, the hurt the anger the passion and the love. Our hearts were in this kiss and there was no more denying how I felt about him even though it wasn't that big of a secret. His tongue was attacking mine like a junkie looking for his stash. I couldn't lie and say that I didn't miss the feeling of his kisses but at this moment, I was starting to feel another emotion that I gladly mirrored.

Without breaking the kiss, I positioned myself on his lap so that I was now straddling him. The need to feel his body on mine grew with breath. His hands were warm on my hips as they slid under my shirt. We both knew where this was going and for once he wasn't getting there fast enough for me, managing to both balance and kiss him I took the now annoying piece of cloth off and threw it somewhere in his room.

With in a matter of minutes I was back in his bed. "This is deja vu" he said smiling.

"It would seem that way only I have no intention of stopping you this time"

"Oh? Well then you have to answer my question." he said kissing my inner thigh.

"That...being?"

"Do you love me?"

"I already-"

"I mean really love me Rose, so much that you wouldn't let anyone not even Lissa come between us again."

"You want me to choose you over Lissa?" I asked unbelieving.

He paused bit ceasing all contact to my oversensitive body. "Yes"

With that one word I was able to truly feel how he felt, part of me was mad at him for suggesting it but I knew what he meant. She was a big girl and she had Eddie who seemed to have grown a lot more attached to her than any of us thought he would. Of course he wasn't asking me to abandon her but he wanted to have my attention as she did. That was my ultimatum; he was giving me what no one had ever given me, a choice.

"What will it be Love?" he said kissing me and returning the fire to my body. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes; I had my answer the moment that he asked the question.

"You." it was that simple and unrehearsed I wanted him. I had always made sure Lissa was okay because that was my duty but now, Now, it was my choice to help her when and if she needed me. Although I have a good feeling, she won't need me to much with Eddie around.

Slowly and gently, we picked up where we left off the first night I stayed with him. He made me feel complete in a way that I had reserved for that special someone realizing afterwards the he was as special as the come. He was the cause of my Embarrassment, comfort, happiness, and pain. Though it took me a while to acknowledge it he's the one who put me back together piece by piece and the only one allowed to claim full responsibility for holding me to my sanity.

This was the last chapter…I hoped that you have enjoyed the story. Yes, I was off schedule by a lot and a few chapters were shoddy but I learned a long time ago that that's all that matters. I'm actually thinking about a sequel just with a different theme…tell me what you think (about the sequel I don't want critics for this chapter either…lol). Until next time.

P.S.: I actually finished a story…omg that is a huge accomplishment for me…took six months but it's done. Lol
