Alyssa had her arms wrapped so tightly around me, I felt I would explode.
''Morning baby!'' She excitedly told me.
''Mmm... morning dear. How did you sleep?''
''So good! I don't think I've ever slept better! Come on, let's go do something... something with Tabbi and Laurie!''
''Alright already girl! Let me get dressed!'' I snickered, chasing her out so I could change clothes.
Together, we walked down to the Royal Olympic hotel and met up with Tabbi and Laurie.
''Hey, girl!'' Tabbi shrieked.
''Hi.''
''So, did you two do it yet?'' Tabbi asked Alyssa.
''No, I still have to tell Matt about us. I'm moving in with him when it's all over.''
''Really? That's sooo cute! Aww, I'm so happy for you!'' She gave her a hug.
''Ahem.'' I cleared my throat.
''Oh, hi Michael!'' Tabbi was so perky as she swung her arms around me to give me a hug.
''Hey Tabbi.''
''Okay Tabs, where's Laurie?''
''She's out getting something to eat. I told her I wasn't hungry. Oh, by the way, I love how you convieniently leave your cell phone with me. Matt called four times.''
''Oh, sorry. I should call him back.'' I heard Aly sigh as she took the phone from her friend and slid it up so she could reach the keyboard. She hit two buttons and was on the phone with Matt in a instant.
''Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, I left my phone there and I was out. No, I was staying at another friend's hotel. Matt... see this is why- no because you're so jealous. You don't know if it is or not. Look, I'll see you tomorow, okay? Yeah. Don't say that! I will! Bye. I love you too.'' She exhaled, and I could hear a slight hitch in her breathing.
''You're scared.'' I said.
''No. I'm fine.'' In her voice, I could hear her blocking pain or emotion.
''Don't lie to me.'' I cautioned.
''I don't want this to happen again. He loves me so much... how do I say no?''
''The same way I tell you to stop when we go too far. You know I love you, I just want to save you from getting hurt.''
''Can you help me? Teach me how.''
''How to say no? I can try, but I don't know if it will work. Alright, pretend I'm Matt. Tell me the news.''
''Matt, I care about you, but I met someone back in Greece... and I love him more. I know it isn't what you want to hear-'' My lips cut her off mid sentance and I felt her hands in my hair.
Come on, Alyssa. Push me off.
''I can't Matt. I love you, but I love him more.''
''But I love you so much Alyssa. I can give you more then this other guy ever could.''
''It took me three years to say yes to your constant offers. It took me two day to fall in love with him.''
''That doesn't matter. You've known me longer.''
''Matt! You told me before I said yes that you would step aside if someone could give me more then you. Michael can give me the world and more.''
''Michael? So that's his name?''
''Leave me alone!''
''You did good, girl. One thing you have to do when it comes to this point is run. If he grabs your hand, that's when you pull out the pepper spray.''
''Thanks, and I'll remember that.'' She grinned, before kissing me.
''Alright, so let's go SHOPPING!'' Tabbi shouted behind us.
We hit various stores in Greece when Alyssa saw the most beautiful necklace I have ever seen. It was silver with a real line of different colored diamonds studded on the chain. There were pink, blue, white, green, yellow and orange.
''It's beautiful.'' She gasped.
''It's Lia Sophia. Of course it's beautiful.''
''I wish I had the money for it... but I don't have five grand on me right now.''
''Hmm...''
''Don't, Michael. I don't want you to buy me something that expensive.''
''Too late.'' I was already calling the clerk over. I handed over the money and the clerk got the necklace out and set it in a beautiful blue velvet box. I kissed Aly on the cheek and handed the box to her.
''Oh...my... God. I can't believe you just did that.'' She inhaled sharply.
''I had to.'' I watched as Alyssa gently took it out of the box and lifted up her hair.
''Help me, please.'' She asked softly. I came up behind her and took the back of the necklace so I could connect the silver chains.
''It looks incredible on you girl.''
''Really?''
''Yes.''
''Get a room!'' Tabbi laughed, getting herself a pretty ring.
We left the jewlery store before I bought Aly a ring of her own and made our way to another small cafe. We had lunch there, and I bought because it was pretty expensive and I didn't want anyone else wasting money on me when I had more money then the both of them combined.
''That was the best lunch I've had in a while.''
''You think?'' Tabbi breathed, leaning back. Greek food made her sleepy.
''Are you tired?''
''Yeah, I think I'm going to head back to the hotel. You need to be on the plane by twelve, Aly. Are you going on the same one?'
''The same flight? Yeah. We can go together. Don't worry, I'll get her there safe.''
''Okay, that's fine. I'll see you later then.''
''Uh huh. Have fun you two... but not too much fun.'' She winked before leaving.
''So what's her family like? I know she has a mom, but what about her dad?''
''He's nice. She has a really good family, that's why I practically lived with her for most of my life.''
''Do you remember when you first met me, and you told me your mom made you move out of her house? If she's.. gone... what happened to you?''
''I ran away. Tabbi lived in L.A too, so I came to her house and I basically lived with her until I wanted to get a place of my own.''
''How long ago did you leave?''
''When I was twelve. I lived with Tabbi until this year, then I moved out.''
''Wow. So you're eighteen and I'm twenty. If you were just a year younger this would be jailbait.''
''I know. Matt is nineteen and he's a lot stronger and taller then you... no offense. He has shaggy blonde hair and a lot of muscle. He works out a lot. That's what scares me so much about my vision. I know how strong he is. I'm suprised he hasn't forced me into anything yet.''
''Baby, I know you don't want to remember this but, did your dad rape you or did he make you touch him?''
''I'm still a virgin, Michael, if that's what you want to know. Not only did he do things like that, but he beat me. My teachers started asking me what was going on, but I couldn't admit it. How could I?''
''I understand. Wow, I never knew that.''
''That's because instead of talking, our lips have been all over each other. We haven't had really talked.''
''I know. We won't get much time for ourselves in L.A. I mean, we will always be trying to hide from the poparazzi.''
''I'll be living with you... there isn't much they can do.''
''I suppose so. What if it doesn't work out that way? I mean, what if my house gets destroyed and we have to live somewhere else? What if Matt gets angry and tries to blow my house up? I just worry about losing you, Aly.''
''Don't, because I'm old enough to take care of myself. I'll be alright.''
''Okay, if you're sure.'' I nodded.
''What do we do now?''
''I don't know... go back to the hotel? Have a little fun.''
''Sounds good to me.'' She winked in a sexy way before we left to get to the hotel.
It started pouring on our way back and we were running in the rain. Alyssa was giggling as we reached the Olympic Palace and she wrapped her arms around my neck.
''You know, I've always wondered what a kiss in the rain would feel like.'' I shivered, holding her to me.
''Wet. It would feel wet.''
''Just shut up and kiss me.'' She laughed, bringing her mouth to mine. Our bodies were so close I had to pull her up into the air and she wrapped her legs around my waist. She kissed with everything she was feeling, her fear, worry, sadness, passion, and mostly love. I twirled her in my arms without our lips disconnecting. It got even more heated when her tongue begged for entrance and I accepted it. Our tounges danced as we explored each other's mouths for the second time in the last few days.
''Let's take this up to my room.'' I told her. She did this cute pouty thing with her lips, but got off of me and took my hand.
We were barely up to my room when Alyssa started kissing me again.
''Come on, there might be people up here.''
''I can't help myself, Michael.''
I fumbled with my keys and finally, the door was open. With shaking fingers, I set my keys on the table. Before I could even get an orange soda from the fridge, Aly was pulling the wet jacket off my body.
''Come on, baby. Take off your wet clothes and we will find you something better to wear.''
''Mmmm... you just aren't giving up, are you?'' I asked, letting her lift my shirt up and pull it off.
'' Nope. I swear, we won't go any further then this. I just want to feel your skin against mine.''
''I know...'' I agreed with her fully. In one swift motion, I took her shirt off and she pressed herself to me just so she could feel the slightest bit of my skin against hers. I closed my eyes as she rubbed her hands against my chest. We were both cold and soaking wet and this was the best way to keep warm. We were kissing again, her tongue in my mouth and her lips as sweet as candy.
I gasped as she laid kisses into my chest and started sucking. Before long, we were back on my bed. She got off of me and we fell asleep with our arms wrapped around each other and her my chin resting on top of her head.
