Some people need to calm down, it's only been a day since I have posted LMAO! And yes I have a good explanation which is school! Homework! And Work!:) Thank you for being semi patient lol Here is another chapter for all of you very eager readers!

"Hey."

I looked up from some of the reading I wanted to catch up on. I had forgotten so many of my books and had the cops recover the ones I left behind. When I realized I had forgotten them I almost insane, I didn't know what to do. Books are an important part of my life so when I didn't have all of them with me, I freaked out a little and practically begged the cops to retrieve them. Christian understood why I loved them and he would often ask me what I thought about the current book I was reading. He knew it would make me happy and I loved to explain to him what the book is about and how it is. And the best part? He listens. He listens so intently that I sometimes forget what I was explaining and just stare at him in awe. "Hey." I replied as I smiled at Christian.

"Would you care to join me for a movie?" He smiled secretively. "Or would you rather keep reading?"

I rolled my eyes playfully and shut my book softly, rolling my body off the bed. "Sure," I said as I stood on my feet and walked in his direction. He kissed my lips softly and took my hand. I'm guessing Grace wasn't here yet seeing as he didn't care to look around and see if anyone was staring. He couldn't believe that I told Grace about us, but when I explained why he understood and was in shock that they had adopted me. I was in shock that I he was in shock because I thought he knew. Turns out Grace didn't tell them yet, because they wanted me to know first. Mia was over the moon and anymore screaming of hers I would need a hearing aid. Elliot was equally as happy, just less screaming and more making me play video games with him. Christian was a little iffy about it considering our situation, but when I explained the plan he seemed to relax.

I brought up the fact that he planned to go to Harvard and he had said, "Yeah, I want to own my own business one day." I thought he had the skills to own something, to be in control and to take charge. Anything he would do would be perfect for him. I didn't want him to go. I wanted him to be here with me, to hold me, to kiss me, but I wasn't going to be selfish. I wanted him to do whatever it was he wanted to do and I wanted him to succeed and be the best he could be. And what better place to do it than Harvard? I would encourage him to pursue his goal no matter what and I would always be there to support him.

As I walked down the hall with him, I realized how much I was going to miss him being there. He looked at me with a lopsided grin and I almost let out a sob, knowing I only a few months left to see that sexy smile. "So what are you in the mood to watch?" He asked.

"Whatever you want, Christian. I don't care."

"Okay, that should be easy…" He trailed off in thought. "How about an action movie?"

"How about instead of a movie we go take a walk in the back."

"You mean in the wood area?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, why not?"

"Okay." He shrugged and led me downstairs. We went out the back and walked past the flat grass and as we neared the trees, I took in the smell of nature and the beauty it provided. It was a glorious evening, the sun was just starting to set and the sky had the pinkish orange glow. He took my hand in his and smiled down at me.

"How was your day?" I asked. He went to school, but I didn't. Grace told me that I needed a few days to recuperate and to let things slowly get back to normal. She even recommended that I go see a therapist. I wasn't sure if that was something I wanted to do.

"It was descent. I wish you would have been there." He moved behind me and wrapped his arms around my body, kissing the hollow of my neck and nibbling on my ear. "I really missed you."

I breathed in and whispered, "I missed you too."

"What made you want to come out here?" He asked, moving back to my side.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Just because."

He cocked an eyebrow at me and smiled. "Okay than."

We continued on our walk in comfortable silence. I snuck a few glances at him and took in his profile, his strong jaw and baby soft looking lips. He was going to be one hell of a sexy man when he got older. I couldn't help but to let my thoughts run into the future, being his long term girlfriend or even his wife. I smiled at the thought as I continued thinking about kids, creating our own home, having careers and making our lives together as special as we could. Those thoughts alone made me the happiest person in the world. Christian was everything I could ever want in a boyfriend, in a friend. I still remember the look on his face when he first saw me, his eyes widening and his sexy full lips parting an inch or two. And I remember the way I felt, the butterflies that took over my stomach and all the blood rushing to my cheeks. I will never forget it. I looked up at the trees and watched as the sunset continued to take its effect, thinking about all the wonderful moments Christian and I have shared together. I recalled the moment he saved me from Mimi, the times when we went to our secret place where he taught me how to speak, which was where we had our first tantalizing kiss and the first time we made love. The look of disapproval that took over his features when he saw Taylor with his arm over me also came to my mind. When we went to the pool party and he punched the guy who forced his lips on me, when we swam in the water and he kissed my scars. Every moment with Christian, whether it was negative, good, great, and wonderful, I wouldn't want to change it.

I took another look at Christian and noticed he was already looking at me. "What were you thinking about?"

I smiled secretively. "Just you."

"Of course you were." He smirked and gave me one of his cocky smiles. It reminded me of the time when Tyler and I went to the movie and he showed up with that girl, Talia. He was such sneaky jerk then and I couldn't believe he followed me to the movies, which reminds me….

I slowed down as he kept the same pace, putting my foot in front of his and giving him a firm push. I watched as his body fell to the ground, landing on his stomach and making a weird sound. There was no controlling my laughter, I practically doubled over and was clutching my stomach. As my muscles tightened it was getting harder and harder to breath and when he lifted half of his body off the ground and gave me a mischievous I knew I was in trouble. The moment he got to his feet I took off running. My laughter was making it hard to run, but the thought of him catching me made me go quicker. I said that I was going to get him back for his little act at the movies, but I had forgotten about it. Now I we were even…well we were; now he's on a mission to get me back. I ran my way in and out of the trees, hearing him right on my tracks. I was still laughing; my face probably red and my cheeks sore from keeping my mouth open to long. I ran as fast as I could and then once my legs started to give out, I gave up and hid behind a bush. I tried to slow my breathing and cease my laughing as I covered my hand over my mouth. My chest was expanding and constricting at a rate that made me feel like my heart would burst from my body. Taking deep even breathes I was able to hear something other than my lack of oxygen. The sound of leaves crunching and branches moving made me go still. It suddenly went quiet and I could feel my heart rate pick up again. It was a suspenseful silence, the kind you see in scary movies. All that was missing was the music. I lifted my head and glanced at the top, not seeing anything…

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed, feeling hands grab the side of my arms. I fell back and saw Christian laughing, just like I had been earlier.

"I guess we're even now."

Oh, no. We were even….

I stood up and dusted myself off, making it look like I had nothing up my sleeve. "You definitely got me." I said.

He leaned his body back and placed his hands on his stomach, throwing his head back to laugh. "You should have seen the look on your fa…."

When his guard was down I lunged for him and we fell to the ground, rolling down the small hill. We held on to each other as we rolled, laughing and making other noises. When we reached the bottom he landed on top of me. "Oh, god, you're heavy." I said.

"It's all muscle, baby." He replied before putting his hands at my sides. His fingers began to move quickly against my ribs, making me laugh so hard tears started to roll down my cheeks. I continued as did he, causing my laughter to grow silent and my abs starting become sore. He began to slow his movement and stared into my eyes, holding my gaze before he said, "I love your laugh." I tilted my head, giving a puzzled look. "I've never heard you laugh like this." I smiled as I realized I haven't laughed like this. He leaned down and kissed me softly, letting his lips trail in the general area. I held my breath as I felt his hand slide up my shirt, his warm hands making goosebumps appear on my skin. He kissed the corners of my lips, his hand cupping one of my breasts. I felt the heat course through my body and the electricity from his touch intensify all my senses. I met his lips with mine once again and with my hands I pulled him closer and held him firmly with my grip. I welcomed his warm tongue as it snaked into my mouth, moving in consistent circles with mine. He tasted so good, he smelled really good, and he felt even better. I could feel his hard shaft on my leg through his pants and the groan that came out of his mouth made the muscles between my thighs clench with want. I let my hands trail down his back, feeling all his muscles move as he held his body up. He broke the kiss and whispered in my ear, "You feel so good, Ana." His warm breath made me shiver. "I could touch you all day. You're so beautiful, flawless in every way."

I closed my eyes and bit my bottom lip, soaking up his positive words, letting them wrap around me and reminiscing in the way they felt.

He rolled off of me and dragged me over to him. I rested my head on his chest as he held me tightly. It was the first time I got to look at my surroundings and noticed we were surrounded my flowers and a small creek. The sound of the running water filled my ears and it was peaceful and beautiful. "I wish we could stay here forever."

He took a deep breath, my head moving along with his chest. "Me too."

"Are you excited?"

"For what?" He asked.

"To go to college?"

He took a while to answer. "College is a great opportunity for everyone."

"It is." I smiled. Education was always a great opportunity, who wouldn't want to obtain more knowledge? Of course I'd rather get it for free, instead of paying thousands of dollars, but hey, what can you do? "Maybe I should go." I remembered telling Grace I didn't think it was for me, but the way Christian talked about it made me want to try it out.

"I think you definitely should go." I looked up and him and saw his cunning smile. "Even if you are already a billionaire."

I giggled at his comment and said, "You're so funny. That money is already going to something important and…" I furrowed my brows, "I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest….Oh wait, I'll buy a few houses…and then I'll rent them out and make even more money!"

"Someone's thinking big." He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

"I was kidding. I'll share it with you." I said. And that was the truth. I was planning and hoping I would be with Christian forever. Him being a part of my life permanently was something I was holding on to. He was a good influence, a constant that holds me down, letting me know that life for me will be okay. My mom left, my dad, who isn't my dad is now dead, and even me biological dad is dead, losing Christian would send me into a downward spiral, sending me into the depths of darkness...and I was afraid that there was no way of coming back from that. There was only so much a person could take and maybe I was relying on someone when I shouldn't. Is that wrong of me? I can't rely on my books to always keep me grounded, I needed someone who was real, someone I could touch and see and hear. That was Christian, I wanted it to be him and it had to be him.

Christian just looked at me and smiled, letting his fingers run down my cheek and his eyes close as he held me closer. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Christian."

With all my mind, heart, and soul I loved him.
