It was Springtime in the garden, the time of love and happiness was filling in the air. On a cool day that seemed just as any other would be, the garden of our two lovers and their love built family we're enjoying a nice breakfast.
"Mummy I want more milk" Autumn asked holding up her little cup.
"In a moment Autumn, I have to finish feeding Nye"
"Jr. can you pass the knife...Jr?"
"Here Dad" Jake passed the knife to him.
Juliet was having a hard time keeping her son from getting all messy with his food "Oh Nye! Jr. can you pass me a baby bib?...Jr?"
"Here mother" Vanessa passed it to her instead.
Jr. seemed the most distant from the family. he was just sitting there with a longing stare into a daydream and his cheeks were showing a pasty visible red shade.
"Daddy what's wrong with Jr?" Autumn asked
"I wish I knew he's been like this all day" Gnomeo tried waving his hands to get his son's attention but it wasn't working. Jr. then gave a long deep sigh.
Vanessa and Violet started to snicker "I see what this is now?" Violet smirked at her brother
"What?"
"He's done this look once before" Vanessa adds.
"JR.'s IN LOVE!" They mocked and then began to laugh.
Everyone turned their attention to Jr. still spaced out into thin air. Gnomeo spoke first. "I think you're right girls"
"That's a love-struck face if I ever saw it" Tyler says.
"Kinda like how you always look at mum behind her back Daddy" Kelly says making Juliet look at him.
"Since when is Jr. in love?"
"Since he and London have been getting pretty serious!"
Juliet started to laugh "Oh how sweet, my big boy's becoming a man now" And pinched his cheeks rapidly.
"Mother please!" Jr shoves her away.
"And for your information Violet; My level of relationship with my girlfriend is none of your business"
Violet rolls her eyes "It's kinda all our business"
"How can you two be in a serious relationship, you haven't even been dating for that long?"
"This coming from the guy who married mum in less than 2 days"
"Oooohh he got you Daddy!" Kelly smiled making everyone laugh.
"But it's also because London is very special to me and I just want her to know that, without giving her the wrong idea"
"Have you tried being suave?"
"Oh please Gnomeo, suave never gets a girl" Juliet argues
"It got you didn't it!?" He smirks Juliet just put her hands up in a sassy motion and walked away with the baby.
"No dad but I'll get my chance later this week"
"Why's that"
"Because our big Prom Dance is coming up"
"Oh I forgot all about that"
"And I want it to be as perfect as it can be"
"I'm sure it will be" Tyler smiles.
"Personally I think Prom's overrated" Violet says point blank
"You're only saying that because you're not going" Jake states
Violet eyed her younger brother "I have a perfectly good reason not to go. It's just a chance for girls to wear overpriced ball gowns they'll only put on once and dance around like geeks to cheesy music"
"You're a sour lemon Violet, you know that" Vanessa says slowly
"And you're an overflowing cup full of girly rainbows" Violet smirks back. "Plus even if I wanted to go I have no date?"
"What about Jackson?"
"Jack hates prom as much as me!"
"Jack hates everything!" Jr. states
"Just one of the reasons I'm so madly into him" Violet sighs.
"Well I'm off to see the emerald of my eye. Check you all later" Jr. got up grabbed his backpack off the floor and walked into the red garden.
He spotted his love siting quietly in the open reading her book. She didn't even notice him dropping three roses over her head as she picked them up. In a sudden moved her grabbed her from behind.
"Alright give me your love and affection and no one gets hurt" He says sounding mean but London knew his voice in any tone.
She played along with him "Oh my. Would a kiss help"
"Yes it would" They turn around and kiss each other deeply and then look for a moment.
"There isn't a day that passes that I don't find you irresistible"
"Nor I" and they kiss again.
"You know how excited I am for Prom this week"
"As excited as I am"
"A whole night of the two of us. All alone"
"Alone? Violet and Jackson aren't coming?"
"What made you think they actually would?"
"It just seemed like a time the four of us could experience together. I think we should talk them into going"
"They'd never do that"
"They might if we talked to them enough"
"Still..."
"Please at least try Jr. for me!" London gave him those puppy eyes with a smile.
Jr. sighed in defeat "Alright I'll see what I can do" he promised
London gave him a long hard kiss. They went to go talk their friends into going and knowing how stubborn Jackson and Violet were it took some time but in the end they finally we're forced into saying yes. With that taken care of London and Jr. could focus more on getting themselves ready for prom.
A while later they all walked to the mall for clothes shopping, London found all sorts of cute things whereas Jr. was being a little more than indifferent.
"Thanks again for coming with us Violet"
"You and Jr. still owe me for making me do this" She huffed putting on a dress.
"That dress is cute on you" London complimented.
"It really is isn't it?"
"How does this green dress look Jr?"
"I think that's the perfect dress for you"
"Thanks now let's see yours"
But Jr. just shrugged "I didn't like anything here"
"Why not?"
"Too fancy"
London rolled her eyes tight "Oh Jr. just pick out something"
"Hey Jackson come out so I can see your suit"
Jackson appeared in black dress pants and shoes and white button up shirt and a dark tie with this jacket hung over his shoulders. "Wow Jack you clean up good"
"I really like it" Violet smiled
"Can I take it off now? this necktie is chaffing me"
"OK I think I found something here!" Jr. walks back out this time in black dress pants and shoes and white button shirt a black necktie and a black fancy vest to match.
"Swanky!"
"Nice very nice!"
"See I know how to dress for success" He boasts
"If you say so!" London walked away leaving her friends.
London pov
I was standing in line with all my things when I heard someone call out my name "London, no way is that really you?" I turn around to see someone I hadn't seen in a while.
"No way Ricky" I jumped into his hug as he hugged me back.
"Hey kid"
"Hi how are you doing?"
"Good. I haven't seen you in a few months"
"I know it's been a while. So what are you doing here?"
"Window shopping you?"
"Dress shopping!" I laugh as he along with me.
"What's the occasion?"
"School prom this weekend!"
"Yeah everyone is so thrilled for it"
"I know. Do you have a date?"
He shakes his head "I'm not going"
"wwww why not?"
"Not really into dances like that, Plus I'm not looking for a date right now"
"Too bad I wanted to see you there"
"But do you have a date?"
"Yeah I'm going with my Boyfriend"
"Lucky you, who's the lucky guy?" Before I could answer I heard him call my name out
"London!"
"Oh here he comes now, Over here!" I shout back as he comes walking into view.
"One minuet you're next to me and the next you're gone!" He asks
"Sorry I was just meeting and old friend" I point "Jr. this is Ricky, Ricky this is my cutie Jr."
"What's up?"
"The sky" They both laugh.
"So you're my London's new Boyfriend"
"That's me I...wait you're London? what's that mean" Jr. looks over at me.
"I can explain. Jr remember when we broke up for two months last year" He nods "Yeah so?"
"During that time I started dating Ricky" I gave a nervous grin.
"You we're dating him?"
"Well not really dating more like just establishing a temporary relationship" That didn't help much at all. "But it wasn't serious. I was just heartbroken the day we broke up and I was alone and Ricky found me and talked me into comfort and after that we just started hanging out together. He was really just helping me through that moment of despair"
"It was my pleasure to help you out" He put a hand on my shoulder.
"But it was in the past and things haven't changed between us OK, we're friends and that's all!" I was being for real.
"Plus I'm not even trying to look for anyone right now so she's all yours mate" Ricky says.
Jr. looked at me and sighed "If you say so"
"Well I've got errands to run to I'll see you two around school sometime" Ricky turned the other way and left.
"Later Ricky!" I sighed happily. Always good to see an old flame, I mean friend.
Jr. still looks at me "What?"
"Nothing!"
I roll my eyes "C'mon lets go home!" I say as we find our friends and head home.
Next day...
School was always so boring and slow. I felt that all time was slowly reaching from my grasp, even thought I was an A+ student I was just so unfocused right now. I stood anxiously at the clock waiting for the hands to move already and when they did I felt so relived, at least time wasn't freezing on me.
I walked up to the teacher just before the class bell rang "May I be excused a bit early I was told to be out by the Principal at this time" I lie right to his face. He lets me go as I grab my things and walk away.
...
London had not even noticed that on her way out she was being romantically viewed by a certain someone. "Ricky you alright" Ricky's friend Max asked.
"Yes I'm just thinking about London" He sighed
"Again? Dude get over her already"
"I can't she's just so perfect and I want her to be mine"
"She only likes you as a friend"
"Those 2 months we spent together said otherwise"
"She only dated you to get her mind off her ex, who she got back together with!"
"I know but I felt so much feelings for her and now she won't even know how I really feel"
"Then just tell her that already and get it off your chest"
"I can't she's with Jr. and you never tell a girl your feelings if they're with someone else"
"Good cause we all know Jr. would kill you for stepping in on his women"
Ricky glares "I'm not scared of him!"
"Yes you are" Max rebuts making Ricky roll his eyes
"Anyways there's other girls here just go for one of them"
"A million girls but only one London"
...
Jr. and I were having our daily make out session in the janitors closet like we did everyday before lunch. The only time when we got to be totally alone for a few seconds while he had his hands all over me.
"I love it when you sneak me away to kiss me" I flirt
"Feeling your body on mine gets me through days"
"How did I ever manage to get someone like you?"
Destiny brought us together and it will be our guide until the day I walk you down the aisle with me"
"Oh Jr." He pushed me aside the wall as I ran my hands all over his backside and the top of his blond locks. I felt his hands rub to my waist and up and down my hair and backside. Somehow they snaked there way to the front of me. Jr leaned down kissing my neck hard and violently and I just clung even more to him moaning in pleasure. I felt the first few buttons of my green blouse unfasten and a breeze tickled my top part of my chest. I opened my eyes knowing what he was trying to do and it made me feel not right.
"Jr. no don't" I push him off.
"What"
"Maybe we shouldn't" I say redoing my buttons.
He put his hands back on me "We've got time!" He went for another kiss but I refused.
"Jr. maybe we're taking this too far too soon!"
"No we're not I promise, we're both mature here"
"Not that mature"
"London you know how much I love you, don't you think it's about time we take our relationship to the next level" He softly stroked at my green streak as I smiled in his sweet clear eyes.
"I just feel like it's too soon for that and I'm just not ready"
"Nothing's gonna happen"
"You don't know that. I just don't want s to rush into something too soon. I want to save myself for when I'm in love"
"I thought you loved me?"
"I do as much as you love me but. We're still young to know what real love is and we're both still going through body changes and..."
"OK OK stop right there! I don't need to hear that" He covers his ears making me giggle.
"Jr. all I'm saying is that when the time comes we can but for now we just wait"
"I'd wait for eternity for you" He kisses me once more before we leave into the now crowded halls.
"Lunchtime let's go"
"I have to go to my locker I'll see you there" I walk opposite of him to my locker as the halls emptied out. I had my own personal makeup station set up as I re-did my lips and hair from our little 'time together'
"London!"
"Whoa!" My instinct was to squirt and I did
"AAAAHHH!" I recognized that voice
"Ricky?!" I covered my mouth seeing him soaked
"Wow you got me!" He says shaking off.
I helped him "Oh Ricky I'm so so sorry"
"No It's alright really It Is"
"I just feel awful for it" I say so embarrassed.
"Don't worry, actually it was quite refreshing" He smiled, at least he wasn't mad at me. "Say you think I can talk to you for a moment?"
"Oh I don't know I have to get to lunch now"
"It'll just be a second" He pleads
I was in no big rush anyways "OK"
He takes in a big breath and says "London I like you"
"I like you too, Ricky"
"No I like like you, I love you even"
I almost froze "What?"
He takes my hand "London I know I shouldn't be saying this with you having a Boyfriends but I can't ignore this feeling in my heart, I like you a lot and I just needed to let you know it"
Reality just froze why was he telling me all this? and why now? He wanted a response but what to say? "Ricky I don't know how to tell you this but...I don't feel the same way" That shattered the smile right off his face.
"You're an amazing guy but my heart belongs to and always will belong to Jr. I'm in love with him and he loves me. I'm flattered you could tell me how you really feel but I can't leave the man I love, I'm sorry" That was as hard to say as it was for him to hear. Ricky was my friend and I felt so guilty doing this to him.
"I understand"
"Please don't be mad"
"I'm not mad, upset but I respect your choice. I just needed to tell you my feelings"
I smiled "I hope this won't affect our friendship?"
He hugs me and I hug him back "Not ever" We hug it all out and go our separate ways.
I meet up with my friends in the lunchroom at our usual spot "Hey guys!"
"Hey best friend!" Vanessa grips me in her arms.
I smile back with a hug "What up best friend?"
"Not much how about you?"
"Same here!"
"You know what I love about you best friend?"
"What is it best friend?"
"It's that I'm best friends with you best friend!"
"And I'm best friends with you best friend"
"We're such good best friends"
"Best friends are always such good best friends, best friend!"
"Do you two have any clue how seriously aggravating you're making me?!" Jackson snapped.
Vanessa rolled her eyes "He's just jealous best friend"
"I know best friend!" We both giggle.
"GAHHHH STOP IT ALREADY!" He snaps.
Jr. and Violet walk up to us with a bunch of trays "You must be getting hungry!" Violet smirks handing him his taco tray
"Nope just very irritated!" He corrects her.
"Here I snagged you an extra taco my dear" Jr sits beside me.
I give him a playful look "You snag me an extra of everything. Are you trying to make me gain weight?"
He shrugs "Maybe..." I roll my eyes hard at him with a smile.
From the corner of my eye I saw Ricky walking past me with his friends. I tried not to make direct eye contact as they passed us by but I had the feeling his eyes met mine before he was out of sight.
"London you ok?" Jr. asked
Should I tell him about what happened between me and Ricky? No that would just cause trouble "Yes I'm good!" even thought I felt something was not good at all.
After school Jr. and I wanted some alone time so we went downtown to watch a movie. The line was long but worth it to see the movies.
"I'll be right back London I'm gonna hit the john" He says walking to the public porta-potty.
I stood there by myself until someone bumped into me "Hey!" I snapped before I saw who it was. "Ricky"
"London? Wow I'm seeing you all over the place now" He laughed.
"He he what are the odds?" I say embaressed.
"Going to the movies alone?"
"No I'm here with friends they're just not here at the moment. You?"
"I've got a blind date!"
"wwww How sweet!"
"I was just on my way to meet her. She's super cool but I don't want to mess it up"
"You'll be fine you're a sharp guy"
"Think you could help me woo her?"
"I could try. Ricky girls just like a gentlemen and one they can relate too, so just share some things about yourself and see if anything clicks"
"And how would I know if she's into me?"
"Well if she liked you and wanted to see you again she'd probably give you hints. Mainly she'd brush closer on you or give you that look saying 'I want to see you again' and a true sign is if she kisses you like this" I give Ricky a kiss and he gladly returns it "See easy"
"Wow thanks London"
"Anything for a friend"
"Well now I'm ready for that date"
"And I'm ready to see my movie, where's Jr?"
Jr pov
The things that can happen when you're back is turned. I leave London for a moment then I returned to see her kissing some other boy, who wasn't me and not just any boy, Ricky. Normally I wouldn't be jealous if London talked to other guys but kissing other guys made me a bit off edge. I was about to storm over there but being raised to be a proper gentlemen I didn't want to cause a public scene. I walk towards London just as she turned my way.
"Hey babe"
"Jr. there you are"
"London I have to go, something suddenly came up at home" I lied
"What about our movie"
"You can stay here and watch it if you really want"
"I guess"
"We can see a movie together next time, but I gotta run"
"A kiss before you go?" She asks puckering up
"No time gotta run" I storm off without even looking back.
London pov
Now that gone It was just me "Hmmm guess I'm flying solo this time"
"London I could escort you to the movies if you liked"
"But what about your date?"
"I've got a few hours really. Besides doesn't make sense to leave a beautiful women unattended"
I giggle and blush "Well I could use someone to help me eat off a bunch of popcorn"
"Then it's settle my lady our movie awaits" He grabs my arm like a gentlemen and walks me inside.
The following day at school was weird. I hadn't seen Jr. all that time, we had some classes together but for some reason whenever I tried to talk to him he ignored me or didn't say much. I just assumed he was going through a bad time.
I was waiting for him by the Janitors closet for our usual make-out, when I saw a shadow creeping up around the corner. Someone was carrying a lot of heavy boxes.
"Need some help?" I asked
"No I've got it!" That voice again
"Ricky is that you?"
"London, cutting classes I see"
"Actually I'm waiting for someone! By the way how was your lunch date?"
He sighed "Not too well as I hoped"
"I'm sorry!"
"It's fine we didn't really have a lot in common anyway" He admits and then gives me a warm smile "Besides as I said once before I only have eyes for one girl" He strokes my cheek as I pull away and look from him.
"Ricky I told you before you and I aren't meant to be, I'm in love with someone else!"
"But I love you more!" He turns me towards him "Jr. isn't worthy to have a girl like you in his arms, you need someone who would love you like the gem you are"
I felt so confused, flattered and ashamed at the same time. He spoke again "London what I'm feeling for you won't go away, I'm in love with you OK I am!" He kissed me on the lips making me freeze in place. I was so confused and scared but at the same time there was this feeling in me that said maybe I wasn't giving Ricky a fair chance to prove himself. I loved Jr. and Ricky was my friend but I knew in my heart who I belonged too, then why was I feeling this way?
Jr. pov
I walked through the halls to meet up with London by the Janitors closet. True I was still upset about the movie thing but, I was better about it. London loved me and I loved her, I knew her better than she knew herself, she would never purposely cheat on me like that, I'm sure whatever happened back there was just a one time thing. As I turn the last corner, right before I catch a horrible sight. London, my Girlfriend in plain view, kissing another guy that was not me, her Boyfriend. It was like every other day he showed his face around her flirting and now this. London looked like she was liking it and that made me so upset and betrayed, she and I had history together and she would cheat on me like this.
I hit against the wall sighing, was she really cheating on me? and why? How could she have fallen for another when I was all she needed. It killed me inside seeing her do this to me all the anger and jealousy I was about to unleash until...I let it all go.
I wasn't about to put up with it anymore, if London wanted Ricky, he could have her, cause I was done with her, for good. I turn around and walk back to class never, and leave her there.
London pov
When I finally got back into reality of what was happening I reacted into pushing him off my lips but he just smiled at me. "That was nice, was it not?"
"Ricky I'm sorry I can't, this can't go on" I walk away for a moment
"What!"
"This! I'm flattered and all but I have a boyfriend and this feels like I'm betraying him and I can't do that Jr. I love him!" I finally get it all out of me as he went into a frown
"Ricky this thing you keep trying to make happen with us, just won't happen. I'm with someone and I'm happy and you need to move on past this, it's just how it has to be!"
"I understand loud and clear"
I did feel bad for breaking his heart like this, he was such a sweet guy "But hey if you want we could go out for a walk in the park together after school"
"As a date"
"As friends"
"Good enough I'll take it!" He smiles with a hug.
"Now I gotta wait for Jr. so you can go on now!" I shoo him off. He laughs and walks away with his boxes. I felt that problem was easily solved as I waited for Jr. to come.
...
The next day I walked through the alley across to my friends garden. Jr. hadn't been coming around me too often lately and I wanted to make sure everything was alright. I knock on the door.
"LONDON!"
"Nessa!" We hug our best friend hug.
"Come inside!" She pulls me inside, their garden was much bigger than I thought.
"Pretty quiet here, with you all living here"
"Our parents are gone and so are most of my siblings. I was just on my way to see Benzin actually"
"Is Jr. here?"
"In the shed!" She points and walks away. I make my way there and I found him working on his Dad's mower, shirtless. I paused and drooled over his muscular backside, even covered in motor oil he was a mountain of muscle. With a wipe of his brow he looks my way.
"Hiya Babe" I say all cute and giggly like, he liked when I did that. Strangely he looked the other way at me, that's not like him.
I walk closer to him "I uh...haven't seen you around lately, you never answer my phone calls or texts" He still has nothing to say "So what do you say we hit the arcade for some mindless video games? It's a nice day to get out!" Still nothing
"Or did you have something else in mind you want to do or" He picks up his shirt and walks right past me and away. What was his problem?
I race after him "Jr why aren't you talking to me?What's wrong?"
He stops in his tracks and turns to me "You know perfectly well what's wrong?"
"Jr. what's gotten into you"
"Me not a thing and I hope nothing's gotten into you, unless you're trying to hide that from me too"
I was a bit confused "Hide? What's that mean?"
"Like you don't know"
" 't know"
"London stop playing stupid with me" He snaps at us.
"I'm not I really don't know what you're talkIng about"
"I thInk you do know and I suggest you stop playIng Innocent wIth me"
"How can I when I don't have a clue what you're talkIng about"
"London you ever hear that In the holy book theres a sayIng about beIng wronged. Well I would say that Is exactly what you've done here."
"Jr. you're not makIng any sense"
"Of course not to you I wouldn't be. You have no Idea how mad I am rIght now."
"Why?! Would you just tell me what's the matter. Why are you so mad at me?"
"I'm only mad when I've been wronged. There's no worst feelIng than to have your heart scorned by the mark of an evIl one" I had no clue what he was goIng on about but I was gettIng offended and upset by It.
"I stIll don't fully understand"
He gave me a hard glare "London just answer me one questIon"
"How long?"
How long what?"
"DammIt London you know what just answer the question"
I backed in fear a little "Can I have more detail please"
"You're really gonna make me say aren't you"
"Yes cause I have no clue what's up with you"
"I'm talking about the other day at the movie. I saw you and Ricky exchange saliva"
"You saw him kiss me"
"DUH! you say that like it's not a big deal"
I snicker "That's what this is all about? Jr. you silly boy that was nothing"
"Sure didn't seem like nothing"
I Explain "Ricky had a lunchdate and I was giving him tips on how to woo girls. That kiss was mere roleplay"
"Wasit?"
"Yes it was"
"You're being serious with me here?"
I nod "Just because Ricky likes me doesn't mean I feel the same way for him"
"WHAT?!"
"See Ricky has a thing for me"
"And what about you?"
"I told him that was sweet but I was a taken I have feelings for him but...
"YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR HIM TOO"
"Nothing to get concerned about"
"Yes theris. You just said you had 'feelings' for him"
"Jr let it go"
"How can I with the fact of knowing My Girlfriend has feelings for a boy"
"My feelings towards Ricky are mutual! "
"Not mutual enough"
"Why are you acting like such a jealous child?!"
"It's a feeling that happens when you're suspicious"
"Ok let me spill this out for you... . .Ricky. The way. .YOU. .Close. Not even when I kissed him at the threater. When he told me how he liked me I felt nothing new for him..."
"YOU KISSED HIM I THOUGHT IT WAS 'ROLE PLAY'"?" I held my tongue after that moment.
"It was role play and I just asked hIm to kIss me"
"What role play needs the actor to ask to be kIssed?"
"FIrst tIme for everythIng" I joke. That made Jr. even more furIous as he walked off.
""Jr. please you're being childish"
"I was not the one with my lips on others now was I?"
"All this over a one-time kiss?!"
"One time? I recall you and him swapping spit at school the other day as well"
"You spied on me?"
"I was coming for you until I saw you and him making out"
"I was waiting for you and Ricky was roaming the halls and we talked, then he brought up the whole 'I love u' thing and when I tried to say something he kissed me"
He gave me the stink eye "Jr. please it's not like that"
"Yes It Is If you fInd out you're girlfriends a cheater!"
"Cheater?! For the final time he kissed me!"
"And what about the first time? Did you not kiss him then?"
"It was fake!"
"Looked pretty real to me"
"You seriously don't trust me!?"
"How could I trust unfaithful girl like you. After everything I've done for you, you had the gull to betray me. London whatever your problem is you better fix it or get out of my life"
"Jr. Bluebury I never EVER want to see you again!"
He leaned closer to my face "That makes two of us!"
I ran of in tears. Never had I been so hurt by anyone in my entire life. I didn't know what Jr.'s problem was but if this was how he was going to treat me I wanted no part of him anymore.
Jr pov
If you've ever waken up with a terrible feeling inside you, like ypu know you've done something terrible and wrong.I know that feeling all too well. After what happened with London I felt like dirt for ever doing it in the first place. But what's done was done and the damage that came with it as well.
I walk to breakfast where my family was just starting to eat.
"Hey the prodigal son is here"
I give sarcastic look "Very funny Violet" I sit down and look at my plate.
"How was your night?"
"Good I spent it with London the whole time"
"You we're not trying to be funny were you?"
"Dad gross!"
"I am just checking"
"I treat London well but I'm still a gentleman"
"I hope so especially since you two will be going to Prom soon. I bet you'll be the cutest couple there" Mum squealed.
"Yeah" I frowned looking devestated.
"May I be excused" I asked as I walk from the table up to my room. I grab my phone and dial up a number.
"Hello"
"London"
"Jr?"
"Yeah it's me, Hi"
"Hello. What are you calling me for"
"I was just checking on you"
"Checking on me?"
"After yesterday I know you said you didn't want to see me but I just needed to tell you how sorry I am"
"You're sorry?"
"Yes totally completely sorry"
"I see"
"London you know I hate fighting with you but I just get so into my emotions that I just don't control myself. I was stupid for everything I said and I just need to know you'll forgive me" There was a long pause I was hoping she didn't hang up on me.
"You still there"
"Yeah I'm here"
"Anything to say?"
"Nothing you'd wanna hear"
"Still mad?"
"Well yeah, Jr. you really hurt me yesterday and I just can't forgive you too soon if you hurt me again"
"I promise I won't ever again"
"How can I be sure you won't. You just make me fell like you don't trust me"
"You know I do I trust you more than anything"
"It's just going to take me some time to get over this och. Until then I just can't be around you"
"But..."
"Please Jr. I just can't see you right now and If you loved me like you say you'd honor that"
"I understand if you need your space and I'm cool with that"
I hear her cries through the phone "I'm sorry Jr. I have to hang up now this is just too much for me right now"
"Ok!" The connection drops as I hit my head against the wall this day just couldn't get any worst.
Later that day to get my mind off London I grouped around with the gang trying to make the most of this situation.
"So I hear you four are going to the big school dance?" Benzin said
"Jr. and London are making us go"
"Where is London?" Vanessa asked
"Yeah Jr. it's not like you to be without your women?" Scarlett said making my eyes roll.
"You know girls? Impossible to keep track of" I joke around
"Jr." I hear my name and look to see Nanette and Paris walking to me.
"Jr. may we speak to you?"
"Sure about what?"
"London!"
I gulped this didn't sound good "What about her?"
"She came home Crying yesterday and she seemed upset. She wouldn't talk to us about it so we figured you might know something"
"No she was moody yesterday but nothing too serious. She's probably just going through something"
"I hope it's nothing bad" Paris frowns
"I'm sure it's nothing. London's a smart girl she'll be fine"
They both smiled "Jr. we're so lucky our daughter has someone like you in her life"
"Someone we know and trust to take care of her and would never do anything to hurt her"
"What can I say? I love your daughter to pieces and I'd never do anything wrong to her"
"Good cause if you ever did I'd murder you" Nanette sounded serious and it made me nervous
"Just kidding! But look at your face I had you for a moment!" She burst into laughter
I fake laughed too "Yeah, good one!"
They walked away as I let a small frown appear, what they didn't know was better off for me. "Yo mate what's with the long frown? Benzin asked
"Nothing I just remembered I have to do something back home" I walk away from them to the alley just as someone was coming in.
"Oh London!"
"Jr." There was an awkward pause
"How are you?"
"Good...You?"
"The same"
"You're parents we're looking for you"
"I know that's why I rushed back home"
"But I covered for you"
"Thanks...Well bye" She raced inside as I wanted to go after but but didn't. I dragged myself into my garden only to be ambushed by someone. I felt someone cling to my legs asvi look down.
"Jr!" It was just Autumn "Hi biggest brother!"
I smiled "Hello to you littlest sister"
Mum and Dad came walking up "Jr. I thought you were with you're friends? "
"I came home early not reallyinto socializing today" I sighed
Mum placed her hand on me "Are you sick darling?"
"I'm fine!"
"Well since your here could you watch Autumn while I put Nye to nap"
"And I have errands to run"
"Sure I can keep an eye on her!"
"Thank you" Mum kissed my cheek and left.
" I'll be home in an hour" Dad said as he left.
"Well it's just us now squirt"
"Chase me!" She took off running as I went after her.
"Gotcha!" I hoist her in the air and fly her like a plane
"Weeeeeee"
"Pilot we're losing altitude! Prepare to crash land" I pull her in the grass as she laughs.
She and I spent a long time playing kiddie games. I loved Autumn she was so playful and a good baby sister. And being with her was taking my mind off of losing the best women there was.
I wiped my face so the tears wouldn't show "Jr. are you sad?" Autumn saw me frowning.
"Kinda"
"I don't like when anyone's sad. Why?"
"You wouldn't understand"
She crawled on my lap "Is it a love problem? "
"What makes you think that?"
"Mummy said that whenever there's a problem in this family love is always the source" I smiled. she was smart for her age.
"Well miss nosypants if you must know my lovelife is hitting a snag and I'm not handling it too well"
"Why?"
"Autumn when you get older and experience love it can help and hurt. My advice to you never make the mistakes I've made "
"You get me sis and I love you"
"Me too! but maybe talk to mummy and daddy about this"
"I don't think mum and dad should be involved in this"
"Well it might be good to tell someone"
"Autumn go find mum I gotta go"
"Grandma Grandpa where are you"
"There you guys are"
"Jr. sweetie look at you looking so much like your father"
"Thanks Grandma"
"What say you boy?"
"Not much Grandpa but I need to speak to you both"
"Of course"
"Could we do this in private?" I asked. The y both walk with me to the shed and I close the door.
"Now what is all this about Jr.?" Grandma asked
"I need to talk with you about something" And I did I told them all about what was happening to me and London.
"So that's it so what should I do?"
"My boy it sounds like you need to go to London and work this out"
"But how do I approach it?"
"Jr. you love London right?"
"More than anything?" I said proudly
"Then you have to fight for her. Pour out your love for her in a way she won't resist. She'll see it too that she's making a big mistake" Now that's just what I needed to hear
"You're right, Thanks Grandpa, Grandma"
"Good luck Dear"
"Guy's where's London?"
"She just left can probably still catch her" I waste no time running to the door but she was nowhere in sight. I found her footprints leading out the alley and I saw her across the street, so i followed her.
I followed her into the park in the middle of the day. I could see she was with someone so I hid to spy. I saw that she was talking to Ricky, again.
"Him again? What is it with this guy?" I got all sorts of angry as I listened to their conversation"
London Pov
"OK I'm here what did you want to say to me?"
"London i just wanted to get your heads up on our Prom"
"Ricky I already said yes to going with you only because I couldn't go with Jr. not after all the heart break"
"If you want my opinion Jr. isn't worthy of you" Ricky looks me in the eyes "You deserve so much better than him"
"You think so"
"I know so!"
"I don't know I'm still kinda committed to him"
"I admire that about you London, so strong and devoted even when you've been done wrong. I like that about you, in fact I just like you period"
I look at him "I know Ricky!"
"Anyways I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night"
"As do I now I really gotta get home now" We hug and part ways.
I was happy that Ricky asked me out to prom just to be supportive but I just hoped Jr. didn't find out.
Jr. pov
I couldn't believe it she was going to prom, our Prom with Ricky of all people. I jumped from my bush and tossed a rock out in a fit of rage. But I shouldn't take my anger out like this. London and I were split and if she was moving on it only seemed fair I do the same.
The next day at school right before last period I made my move on the next women in line.
"Hey Lidia"
"Hi Jr." Lidia was about the only single Senior girl in school, she was a tall thick brunette with braces. She had a crush on me but I never really acknowledge it cause I was with London
"Look I know it's last second but, if you were not already going to Prom with someone would you wanna go..."
"YES!" She bursts out
"I didn't finish"
"You don't need to I accept!" She hugs me tightly
"Great!" I choke out of me. When she finally lets go I get a breath "So I'll pick you up tonight"
"Actually just meet me there I'll get a ride" She says walking away from me.
That night...
Tonight of Prom had finally arrived and I was not as thrilled as I hoped to be going. Violet and I we're being ambushed by our family, more by mum who wouldn't stop bothering us.
"Oh don't you kids look divine"
"Thanks mum"
"And Violet sweetheart you have never looked prettier"
"Thanks Dad"
"I know she looks great thanks to me, of course those curls took forever to get right" Vanessa brags.
"Here let me take a pic" Mum suddenly snapped our photo "Cute!"
Violet had a hard glare to me "You owe me for this!" She hissed
"Don't have to keep saying that!" I mumble.
I look to my watch "Time to head out!" Me and Violet walk to the alley where Jackson and London were standing all dressed up. London looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress in the moonlight.
"Looking good" Jackson smirked at my sister
"Same to you and smelling good too"
London jumps in saying "You have me to thank for that!"
"We should get going its about to start soon"
London just stood there in the clearing, but the fact that she wasn't speaking to me didn't stop me from trying.
"Would you like me to escort you to prom?"
"Sure"
The whole school had been redone but the prom was beIng held In the gym, whIch looked totally awesome besIdes the fact It was flooded wIth teens.
"Swanky!" I grinned
"Let us hit the buffet Violet" Jackson asked.
"Sure. See you two later" They both walked off.
It was just me and London and I felt now would be a good as time as any to tell london how I feel.
"Lindon since we're here I want to tell you..." I spoke a bit to soon when he appeared.
"London"
"Ricky" London ran from my side to his arms as they shared a long hug.
"Nice suit"
"Thanks Nice dress"
"Thanks" I rolled my eyes someone just shot me now
"So ready to Par-tay!" Ricky started to move like a funny 90s kid and London laughed hard.
"Of course" He just took her off and far from my sight. Now all I needed to do was find
"JR.!" I was ambushed by a girl in a glitter teal dress.
"Lidia watch the suit" I push her off me and fix my suit.
"Sorry I'm just so happy to be here with you"
I gave a fake smile "Me too!"
The DJ came with an announcement as we listen "Nice to see so many young gnomes enjoying themselves. Remember this night is all for you to do as you wish and have fun with it!" Everyone applauded.
"Alright now I just want you all to remember to vote on King and Queen tonight. But before you do lets start off with a song to get you all dancing. Everyone on the dance floor!"
"Come on Jr." Lidia pulled me into the mix of teens on the dance floor.
"Alright now here's a fun song we can all get down too" The DJ played the song as everyone found their groove.
"Oh I love this song!" Lidia smiled.
Calling all the monsters, calling all the monsters

The effects they did for the song were Iincredible. Blackness with random orange strobe lights it was like living in a real life horror dream.

The real life sound effects. Wolf howls, witch cries and whooshing wind. Not to mention glowing ghost that appeared in the dark. Felt more like a Halloween dance, but I loved it even more.
Tonight all the monsters gonna dance (aye yeah-eh)

The song ended and that's when me and Lidia walked off the dance floor for a while smiling and laughing.
"That was actually really fun"
"Wasn't it?" Lidia smiled as I lead her to the pinch bowl for a drink.
"Ok now that was the first song of the night I'm going to pass things off to the band for the next few hours as you all mingle and have fun. And don't forget to place your vote for prom court before the night is done" That was the DJ's final announcement for a while as everything settled down.
"I'm gonna go freshen up B.R.B" Lidia walked away as I stood there with a drink in my hands and a small look on my face.
I look the other way and someone bumped into me "Hey!" I turn and see it was just Ricky, my girlfriend stealer.
"Sorry mate" He looks at me and a smirked rises on his face "Jr. didn't expect to see you here"
"Yeah well I'm here" I make small talk with him
"How's the night been going?"
"Honestly not too bad"
"Yeah I saw you with Lidia nice move, she's a good one"
"Yeah sorta"
"My night's going perfect as well. Since I'm here with the most beautiful most perfect girl in the whole world" He brags "Too bad for you thought"
I roll my eyes "Hey London's a free girl she can date whomever she pleases" It killed me to even say that
"Glad you think so because I intend to do just that. I shall woo her before this night is done"
"How lucky you are"
"I know this shall be one of the finest dates"
"Even though she told you this wasn't going to be a real date"
"She may have said that but I plan to win her over"
"Good luck with that" I smirk sipping my punch
"It should be easy. She's haplessly devastated for you and I was her shoulder to cry on, perfect for the rebounds"
I gave him a look "Rebounds? what's that mean?"
"Girl's on the rebounds are always the best kind, why do you think I got to her when you broke off those two months before. She clung to me like a sad puppy and I enjoyed every smitten second of her"
"You'd actually try to take advantage of her when she's like this? Is that really how shallow you are" I get up in his face but he sees it as no threat.
"Please I'm merely her shoulder to cry on, until I sweep her off her feet at the last moment"
"You're a horrible person"
"Maybe to you! You're just jealous I took back my women"
"She's mine!"
"Doesn't look that way now. You had your chance and you blew it too bad for you but she's in my hands now and I intend to keep it that way" He smirks hard
"I can get her back if I wanted too"
"She want nothing more to do with you after the grief you caused her. She's mine now!"
"Maybe physically but mentally I have her heart and soul under my lock and key"
"Then maybe it's time for that lock to be broken and replaced as in with Moi! I have a feeling she'll be clinging to me before this dance is done and you will be nothing but a distant memory to her" He pushed my chest making me a peeved off.
"Now if you don't mind my lady is waiting! Have a nice night, Loser" He strides off as I crush my cup in my grip.
I wanted to smash his face in at that very moment but if I did I'd ruin any chance I still had with London forever.
"I'm back!"
"Yay!" I smile with fake interest.
"So wanna dance some more?"
"How's about if we just talk"
"Ok me first" She talked for what seemed like endless hours.
London pov
Ricky was gone to see his friends as I was looking around for mine. It was really dark but I did make out a shadow in the corner all alone at a table, Violet was there all by herself. She saw me coming and pulled up a seat for me
"So Violet how has your night been?"
"Eh..."
"C'mon"
"It's fine. If you count being here alone fun"
"Where's Jackson?"
"Lord knows where" She blew hot steam
"You know what you could use some dancing fun"
"No thanks!"
"Please just once at east do something here than sulk around" I give her my big eyes and she rolled hers
"Ok let's get this over with" She gives in.
I pull her into the dancing crowd as they play some fun songs. Violet tried to move to the beat but was having trouble getting the steps right
"I suck at dancing!" She huffed
"No you just need to let loose and feel the beat like me" I show her how it's done but she was still unsure "Just move your hips you'll get it" She does what I do and gets the hang of it really fast
"See you're doing it" I smile as she did too
"Alright ladies hit the dance floor cause here comes a song for you all"

Violet jumped around dancing and laughing for the first time that night.
"I'll admit that was great!" Now she was getting into it
"See what I tell you" I nudged her
"I wanna dance more" She pulled me back towards the dance floor as we danced side by side for all the fun songs that played.
I was giving out and running out of dance moves "Ok Violet I've had enough dancing for a while I'm tired" I sit on a chair as she joins me.
"Highlight of my night as far as Jackson would know" She says
"I need a drink after all that dancing!" I huffed.
"Lemonade for my lady" Ricky hands over two glasses for them both
"Well I'm gonna go find Jackson, catch you two later" Violet walks away.
London pov
"Well how are you enjoying the night so far?" He asked me
"Great although I haven't seen Jr. the whole time"
"Jr. I saw him with his date a moment ago"
I spit out my lemonade "Date?"
"Why London you didn't know? Everyone has seen them"
"They have?"
"And such a cute couple they make too. See for yourself" Ricky turns me around to see Jr. sitting with Lidia
"Lidia? He came here with Lidia" I felt hurt and upset by that.
"London I'm so sorry you had to see that I know it must be hard for you"
"Now I'm fine"
"Really"
"Jr.'s a free man now if he wants to date he can. I just didn't expect him to move on so soon"
Ricky shrugged "Jr's a guy who loves and moves on"
"I guess so"
Ricky had taken me away from the dance out into the stadium halls where we just walked and talked for a while.
"Ricky I'm so glad I came here with you. You've made me feel so much safer and better about all this that's been happening with me"
"Just looking out for a dear friend"
"Too bad the nights almost over"
"Not necessarily, we could make it last a bit longer"
"Really? How?"
He grabs me and started to kiss on me and I liked it. I felt a sudden rush that made me cling to him and I gave back what he gave to me. Ricky moved his fingers down my back and stopped kissing me. We backed up into the nearest room, the bathroom and he locks the door.
"Why did you lock the door?" I adjust my glasses
Ricky pulled on the small strand of my hair that was lose and then reached down to my hands gripping them. He pulls his my hands up to his face "Your hands are so soft"
"Must be from all the lotion"
"I really adore you London"
"Me too!"
He gave me another hard grip on my hands smiling. I felt a sudden jump In my heart that was opening back up In me and I liked It. Rocky gave me a smirk and began kissing on my neck hard and forceful. That's when I felt weird.
"Ricky, No Ricky stop" I shove him away.
"What's wrong?"
I give an awkward look "I know where this is heading and I can't"
"You can't?"
"I can't I don't feel comfortable with this right now. I'm not ready"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, I promise no one will ever know"
"Ricky I'm serious I just don't feel this is the right time. I wouldn't feel right doing this"
"Is it because you wouldn't feel right doing it with me?"
"Yes! No? It's complicated" I rub my eyes trying not to cry in front of him. The strangest feeling was growing inside me, like I was feeling an odd amount of guilt inside me that I couldn't really explain. I don't know what was happening nor why but it had to be for a reason and not a good one.
Ricky taps my shoulder so I can face him. His look was now distant "London is this about Jr?"
"I turn back to him with a look "What?'
"Do you still love him?" He throws at me.
"Ricky don't do this to me, this is too soon" Jr. was the last thing I needed to hear now.
"I'm just asking a question"
"Don't ask me that I can't!"
"Because you don't want me to know the truth"
"What did I just say!"
"Just tell me!"
"Why should I?"
"I just want to know"
"There's nothing to tell!"
"I think there is"
"Ricky!"
"Do you love Jr or not?" I could see he wouldn't stop till I answered.
"Well do you?"
"Yes! No? I don't know it's complicated and I'm going through a lot right now"
"London it's not rocket science either you love him or you want me, which is it?"
"You're making me chose, seriously?"
"I just need to know bottom line if you still love him"
"And what if I do? Why does that matter to you if I love him or not?"
"So you admit you do"
"I didn't say that!"
"Well what are you saying London huh?"
"I don't know!"
"Tell me!"
"I don't know if I do love him and this is making me more unsure!"
"If you don't then why are you keeping it under wrap?"
"Because I love him!" All time froze when those words burst from my mouth and time stood still.
"What did you say?"
I felt an ache in my heart but a good kind. I knew what this was as I have felt it once before, this was love I was feeling "Ricky truth is I'm not over Jr. and I never will be, I love him. Sure we've had our downs but that's what love, real love is and you stay with that person because your heart tells you too. And my heart is saying that I belong with Jr. my true love"
"I see!"
"I'm sorry Ricky but I made a commitment from my heart to love Jr. and I'm not letting it go now.
"I'm sorry too London...Sorry I have to do this!" He gripped my arm tightly in his fists
"Ricky my arm, ow! that hurts!"
"London I tried everything to get you back the best way I knew how. But I can see that as long as Jr's in the way you'll never be mine"
"Please Ricky you'll find someone else someone better"
"Why find when I can take away"
"I'm not leaving Jr. for you!"
"I know! So long as Jr. has your heart under lock and key. I'll make you mine the only other way possible"
Knowing what he meant I had a bad feeling about this.
Jr. pov
This night couldn't have possibly gone by any slower for me. Lidia and I were slow dancing to some sappy music she was clinging to me and I was trying to keep my space.
"Isn't this the best night"
"More like the worst" I got so upset right then I stepped out of rhythm
"Ow! Jr. that was my foot!"
"Sorry!" I tried getting my groove back but I lost it.
"Ow!"
"Sorry"
"Ow!"
"Sorry!"
"Ouch!"
"My bad!" There came the part of the song when I tried to spin her but as she twirled from my body but her veil got under my foot and she toppled over everyone in her way making all eyes glue on us
"Uh-oh!" I reached to pull her from the mess as she looked at me with a dead stare.
"So...you want to try that again?" I grin nervously.
"YOU ARE THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT BOY I HAVE EVER MET. YOU'VE STEPPED ON ME, EMBARRASSED ME AND RUINED MY ONE OF A KIND GOWN! JR. BLUEBURY YOU ARE THE WORST!" She shoved right past me off the dance floor
"So I take it we have no second date coming any time soon?" I shout but it was too late.
I pulled my jacket over my head and walked to an empty table where Violet was all by herself. We both had the same looks on our face "This night blows!"
"Dido"
"Some enchanting evening this turned into" I mumble to myself "Violet go find Jackson so we can call this a night"
"It's about time!" She stormed off to find him as I sat there.
There came this sudden screaming that caught everyone's attention. I swear those screams sounded just like. That's when someone came running into the dance room and fell to the floor. I could tell who it was instantly.
"London?" She looked traumatized and she looked like she had been handled pretty roughly.
"LONDON!" Ricky burst inside looking pretty mad and staring London dead on "London I won't ask you again, Get here now!"
"Leave me alone Ricky I won't" She huffed but I could see the fear in her face.
"Fine then!" He leaped over and dragged her by her legs.
"NO! LET ME GO!"
"You are not getting away from me again!"
I felt this sudden burning that I was about to unleash all hell in a second and Ricky was going to be the victim. "HEY!" I snapped with force as all eyes turned to me now.
"LET. HER. GO!"
"ooooooohhhh!"
Ricky just smirked at me "Oh yeah and What if I don't what are you gonna do about it..."
THUMP
I heard something and Ricky just instantly fell forward and down. From behind I saw it was Jackson who had come to the aid just in time.
Violet appeared right by my side "London come this way!" Violet called, she didn't think twice before she ran into my arms.
"Are you okay?"
"Not really, he nearly raped me out there. It was terrible!" She broke down in my arms crying and I felt ready to twist Ricky's neck off. I pass her off to Violet as I made my way towards him.
I puled him up and over my head strangling him with his own bow tie. He gulped hard when he saw the intense flames in my eye "Listen to me and listen well. If You ever and I mean EVER! Come near her again, so help me will make sure you never breath again! Now get out of my sight before I kill you right now" I let him drop as he picks himself up and runs away hopefully far away.
I heard a lot of cheering for me but I ignored them as I made my way back to London, cradled in Violets arms. "London are you OK"
"I guess so, thanks Jackson for saving me"
"Anytime!"
"Jr. I-I don't know what to say..."
"You don't have to say anything London"
"No wait. Jr I do have something to say to you and it needs to be said right now" I turn back around and just like that I felt her lips pressed against mine. Shocked but not resisting I returned the kiss with so much love and passion I had ever and will ever feel for her.
"Wwwwwww"
I looked into those eyes and I said "I've missed your lips against mine"
She smiles as rests her head on my chest "I'm sorry" her voice was low in sorrow
"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let my jealousy get the best of me"
"And I should have listened to you, Ricky was not who he was when we met"
"Not all men are worthy of beholding something as rare and precious as you are"
"That's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me Jr."
"And not the last!" I pulled her in for a kiss again as there was applause running through the room for us. But the only thing that mattered to me right now was me and London
"Alright everyone the night's just about over we've got a few moments to spare and it's come time to announce the Prom court" Everyone gathered around with joyful looks.
"The school has voted and this year your Prom King and Queen...Jr. and London!"
"NO WAY!" They were both thrilled as they ran on stage to receive their crowns. London jumped into my arms as I swung her around like there was no tomorrow.
We walked off hand in hand as they played the last few songs of the night "Nice crown"
"So is yours"
Jack and Violet were waiting for us "Glad to see you two are all better"
"Better than better"
"Thanks so much for coming with us. I hope you guys didn't have to bad a time"
"Not that bad I did enjoy myself"
"Much more than I really thought I would"
"Well I guess this is the end of our night then"
"Not yet" Violet stops me "You two still need to dance as the King and Queen of the night"
I look at London who was all for it "I could get into that"
I smirked and walked away to the DJ and asked him to play a special song. "Last song of the night. A special song requested of Our King for his Queen"
I offer my hand out to her "May I have this dance my queen?"
London takes his hands "You may my King!" We walk to the dance floor in the spotlight and dance in each others arms.
I know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
And after all this time I opened up my eyes
Now I see you were always with me
Could it be you and I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
that it's you and it's you
It's kinda funny you were always near
But who would ever thought that we'd end up here
And everytime I need you, you've been there for me
so now it's clear I've been waiting for you
Could it be you and I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
that it's you and it's you
'Cause today is the start of the rest of our lives I can see it in your eyes
And it's real, and it's true
It's just me and you
Could it be that it's you
Could it be that it's youCould it be you and I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
that it's you and it's you
When the song finally ended they stared deep into lust and love for each other, kissing their love down deeper and deeper as the night lifted them into happiness.
When prom finally ended and we we're back home it was dark and all was silent. Everyone was asleep including my parents, the perfect time for me to be alone with the man I loved. I sneaked him into my room as my parents snoring could be heard through the area and shut the door and opened the curtains letting in the bright white moonlight.
"Ah! Home sweet Home" I fall back into bed with a grin on my face. Jr. sat on the edges just smiling at me.
I turn over to my sides "Tonight was good?"
"I'd say it was, but everyday is good with you" He flirts kissing my forehead.
I shift over in bed so he could lie down beside me and he did. I crawled over him to rest on his chest feeling his heart pump for a moment or two, he smoothly caressed my hair and upper body but I just couldn't wait to ask him something.
"Jr?" He looked towards me "Can I ask you something?"
"Anything you want?"
"Why me?" I was vague
He looked confused "What do you mean why you?"
"I mean why over all other girls did you pick me to be your true love?"
He smiled "Why wouldn't I?"
"Because I'm not good enough for you"
"What?" He asked, that's when I started to show a few tears in my eyes "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm just not good enough for you"
"Why would you say that"
I gave him a serious look "Jr. look at you, you have you're whole life, everything working out for you piece by piece"
"Well not exactly like that but..."
"You've got everything and just looking at m. I'm nothing more than a nerdy know-it-all! I'm not the prettiest girl around and I know you probably like girls who have it all going for them, I don't have that and you could do so much better than me" I covered my head in my pillow crying, thinking I was no good for Jr. and never would be.
I felt my pillow fly off my head and Jr. flipped me over to face him, through my tears he now had a serious look on his face "London, listen. You're right...OK, I'll agree with you on one thing, you're not the number 10 beauty around here, there might be other girls out there whom I could have but I don't have them because of you"
I gave him a weird look "Gee thanks!"
He gives me a glare "I'm not done!" He snaps "But I don't need another girl nor do I want another girl. Why go for better when I already have the best!" He grabs my hand when he says that.
"Why do you doubt yourself so much?"
I look away "Cause I'm seeing reality"
I hear him snicker "No London!" He moves my face to look back in his eyes "You're seeing A reality not THE reality"
"What's the difference?"
"The real reality, where I'm living, has the truth. And if you want the cold hard truth London then here it is" He takes a breath "Yes you're not the prettiest girl, yes you might be a nerdy know-it-all and yes you and I both know I could be able to do better"
"This is so not helping me feel better" I turn around in bed but he flips me right back over to him.
"London what you're not understanding here is that I don't need a number 10 beauty cause to me you are that beauty. I don't need to do better cause I already have the best there is and I will surely not stand here and let you doubt yourself about being out of my league, cause if anything, you're out of my league!" I just kept looking at him but this time the tears stopped and I was showing an urge to smile but I could see he still had more he wanted to say.
"When we were younger I fancied a lot of pretty girls for no other reason than just for being pretty, and I took advantage of them on that. I admit it was nice having multiple girls wrapped around my arms all at once...But the moment that all changed was when I saw and realized that the only girl I ever wanted and needed was you"
"Me?" I repeat not believe what he was saying but he kept on going.
"London between the two of us there, has been so much history together and surely more to come because,I want that to go on for the rest of our natural lives" He gripped my hands and pulled me upright to get closer to his face.
"You might have doubts about yourself and us. But trust me when I tell you this; That we are together because it is our destiny to be one, forever" he kissed my hands afterwards.
I had tears streaming down my face, in the happiest way possible. I practically leaped into his arms and kissed him so hard I shot water into his mouth and he spit it right back out.
"You have no clue how happy you've made me to hear you say that"
he caught me in a hug "I wouldn't say anything to you that wasn't true." he whispered.
"I just love you so much, I just don't know how to express it good enough for you" I never wanted to let him go
I felt his hands run up and down the back of my body in a soothing motion "I can definitely show you just how much I love you"
He pulled me into his arms and started to kiss me I wrapped around his neck as his grip around my waist got tighter and tighter as if he was about to merge us together. I could see he was enjoying this as much as I was. I moved my hands over his shoulders pressing them in a frontward massage.
"You feel tense" I whisper to his ears
He gave me a smirk and smiled "You feel the same way" He gave my mid section a squeeze making me laugh I knew what he was doing and I liked it.
He pulled up my chin so he could kiss my neck, making a squeal of pleasure escape me as I held onto him a bit that was going on I began messing with his blonde locks making them twirl with my finger. I felt his hands move over mine and pull it away from his head.
"Sorry!" I mumbled he came back up to kiss my lips again, only this time he wanted to do it french-kissing style. It felt weird at first but then natural as I did the same to him back and forth it went for a while. I leaned myself into a dip pulling him with me until I was flat in my bed with him once more. I slipped myself into a sudden daydream and when reality struck back I found something different, I could feel more of a breeze coming up my dress and over my top body. I looked over Jr. kissing my shoulders and my tights and shoes were off and lying on the floor as well as my jacket, Jr. had basically stripped me of my clothes right to just my dress and underclothes.
Not only I but he as well his shoes and socks and black vest and button up shirt were off as well just his undershirt, tie and pants remained. Jr. was moving with this faster than I thought and I wanted it to continue on right to the good stuff.
Jr kissed my neck and the part of my chest that wasn't covered, down to my bare legs leaving wet kiss marks and making me squirm and moan happily in pleasure to it "I love hearing you sound like that" He goes right back to kissing on my legs.
I felt a sudden burst of love pour out of me at that instant as if Jr. had unleashed in me something that has been bubbling inside me wanting to come out. I knew that feeling and I knew what I wanted, to be his for him to make me his and only his forever. I wanted it so badly but how did I get the message to him.
I pulled away from Jr. as he opened his eyes and held the sides of my arms. I could see in his eyes he wanted me as much as I wanted him, and soon he would have me too. I gave Jr. a warm smile as I held both sides of his cheeks and told him I would return to him. I walk from my room to the bathroom and turn on the lights, one look in the mirror was all it took for me to sigh. Jr. was right I wasn't all that bad but I could look even better just for him, luckily I knew a thing or two about make-overs and all that to be just what Jr. wanted for tonight. I set my glasses aside and gave myself a full transformation. I spent about a good 20 minuets redoing myself. My hair I pressed into a straight flowing style with Fire red lips and darkened curled eyelashes. Of course I had to freshen up my breath and make sure my body was well cleansed and such, with a few spritz of that perfume I knew Jr. couldn't resist. After a quick wash I lathered myself in baby power, baby lotion and oil so my skin was soft to the touch and warm too. Lastly was my outfit, more like just a green laced night bra and bikini bottom with a silk see through covering that clung to my chest and just above my hips, there was no backside to it so a breeze came to my back and last my matching green open toed slippers to go with it. My mum had brought me this outfit, she said it would be great for me to wear on my wedding night, but I felt it was better used for this night.
After I was all done I looked myself over one more time in the mirror before I slipped my glasses back on. I took in a deep breath, this was now or never time for me. I tiptoe back to my room where Jr. was spaced out looking through my things, he didn't see me sneak in and lock the door. I got chills down my spine as to why I was even doing this, it was a bad idea. But I loved Jr. and I wanted this night to be just as perfect for him as it would be for me, I came this far might as well go a bit farther.
"Ahem!" Jr. turned at the sound of my voice and instantly dropped to his knees in shock at what I had done to myself. I got chills up my spine, I didn't know what would happen when he said something but I just stood there with my heads at my sides and my legs crossed with an air-light grin on my face.
Jr. finally picked himself up still opened wide in the face "London is...is that you?"
I removed my glasses and gave him a flirty grin "It is me" I said low but clear.
He just kept staring "What did you do to yourself?"
My grin suddenly turned to a frown. He didn't like it, I knew he wouldn't "You don't like it do you?" I felt myself about to cry.
"Why are you crying?"
"You hate it I knew this was a mistake" I turned from him leaning on the door and covered my face with tears rolling down.
I felt his presence upon me rather quickly "No I love it I absolutely love it" He tells me and I look at him he had a smile on his face "You look even more gorgeous than I could have possibly imagined"
"You mean that?"
"I would never lie to you about your beauty, because you're the most divine creature I have ever had the pleasure of being with" That made me cry too, but in the happy way. He truly did love me for who I was.
He brought me into his lips for a long kiss and had me pressed on the walls and I wrapped my arms around him. I was getting chill bumps but his hands made me feel warm all over as he moved them all over me as I moved with him to keep our lips together. Then he swept me off my feet and carried me to bed, pressing on top of me as we continued. I curled my fingers around his neck unfastening his tie and dropping it on the floor and next pulled off his shirt exposing his muscular chest. One look was all it took for me to drool over him, so sturdy, solid and warm to the touch, he was like a mountain of muscular goodness. He saw the happiness on my face when I looked at him and now it was my turn to return the favor. I hooked my bra and coverage as he helped pull if off and tossed it to the floor, now only I was in my panties. He made me giggle seeing how fast he was with his hands when he wanted to be. We went back to kissing as I felt him wiggle out of his pants and down to his boxers and since the love was already overwhelming inside of us we wasted no time in stripping of our underline down to just bare skin. He felt so good to me as I wrapped around his body as much as he would allow me to. I just loved everything about this night and I have wanted this for so long now.
"I must confess you don't know how long I've yearned for this day to come. You and me together like this I just wanted it all so bad" I confess
He looks me over so a second smiling "I have never seen nor felt a more perfect body than what I'm feeling right now. It's overwhelming me" He said that in a way that made my heart melt so much.
"You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment I need to touch you to feel you to have you apart of me"
"I know!" I moaned happily.
"I never imagined I get so lost in a sea of temptation and have you right there by my side with it too"
"Hmmmm"
"If anything London you should know how much I love you and want you in my life too...
"Jr..." I interrupt "Please stop talking!"
He smirked and went back to confessing his love for me. I wrap my legs to his waist as I feel a sudden rush of of his love penetrate deep within me in a fast passionate motion. I was trapped between his arms when he gave up all his love to me and I surrendered myself and my love to him in return with lustful moans of pleasure. I wished that night could ave gone on forever, I had no clue until that night when we did the extreme, just how much he truly undeniably loved me as much as he said.
Jr pov
When I woke up the next morning I knew right away I was not in my bed cause everything about my surroundings seemed feminine. I pulled upright as the sheets flowed down on me and i instantly felt a gentle breeze around me, a draft from the open window. As I reached to close it I looked and saw myself butt-naked, my clothes were piled on the floor beside the bed as well as another pair of clothes also feminine. I felt a sudden moaning and shifting and something grabbed my waist, two small fragile hands roped around me I look to my side and see someone rested against me. I smiled it was my London. She looked so peaceful sleeping even if her hair was messy and tangled, I noticed she too was naked, not that I was complaining, it just made her more appealing to me. That's when all the memories of last night came washing back into my head, the dance, me and London every detail I remembered from what had been the night I had won the heart of my love and finally declared her mine and only mine. I was so lucky to have her in my life, if I didn't I throw myself into a wall until she was made mine, but thankfully I didn't because she and I both knew we were one forever and always.
I leaned down and gave her a gentile kiss on the forehead. A smile crept on her face as she opened one eye and looked up at me as I did to her.
She lets out a yawn "Hiya!"
"Good morning gorgeous!" I lay back down so she could crawl on me and rest as I brushed her hair down.
"Jr. I don't know what to say, last night was..." She let out a loving sigh
"Wild and exhilarating" I flirt
She laughs "Exactly!"
"You look so much more prettier than you did last night, of course you had clothes on then" It was my turn to laugh.
There was a moment of silence before I broke it "London?"
"Hmmm"
"I'm sorry!" I frown
She looks up at me "Sorry? for what?"
"For not trusting you, for everything I did to lose you."
"It's OK"
"No it's not I almost lost you because I was so caught in my jealousy and..." She reached up and kissed me and then looked at me with those captivating eyes.
She leaned back in my chest and snuggled with me. Never had I felt this much passion for someone ever before. "Apology accepted"
I noticed she wasn't wearing her glasses and found them sitting on the frame of the bed. I reached out to get them for her as she stopped me. "I don't need my glasses, not when you're here to be my eyes"
I grinned "I'll be your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, shoulder to cry on, leg to stand on, even your heart if I have to" that made her laugh but I was serious.
"You've already taken my heart from me!" She admits.
"I love you!"
She smiled "I love you even more" That's when I grabbed her and rolled her over on bed so now I was lying on top of here. She knew where I was going with this and started to go into it as much as I did. For a moment just kissing until I got the urge to make her mine again, that's when I started to kiss her neck and chest, gripping her harder into me as she clung to me moaning and sighing hard. I just loved feeling her heart race against mine, she just brought out things in me.
That's when she finally stopped and pushed me away "Uhm...Maybe we shouldn't" She nervously grins at me.
"Please don't say that to me I need to make you mine once more, just once more"
She pushed me away again "I do too but if my parents barge in here we're both gonna be in deep water"
"Just let me deal with that and melt all your worries away" I flirt trying to kiss her but she won't let me.
"We'll get caught!" She whispers loudly
I smirked at her "We didn't get caught last night and with the way you were screaming out..." She just gave me an eye roll.
"Leave. Now!" She says smirking but seriously.
I grabbed her waist again "I love a women who takes charge!"
She grabs my nipple and twists it "OW OW OW OK OK I'LL LEAVE!" She lets go as I rub myself.
I get myself dressed as she sits there in her sheets watching me but I much preferred watching her get dressed. "Getting up?"
"I'll stay here and rest some more, after what you did last night I need to sleep and recover" She tries to be funny.
"You act as if I tried to murder you"
"Murder me with heavenly affection" She flirts back "But now I need to rest"
"Rest for another night!" I wink
She eyes me with a smile "Don't think this will be turning into a regular thing!" I gave her a puppy look and she sighed.
"Oh wait before I forget I have something for you" I reached into my pocket and pulled out her emerald necklace
She covered her mouth when it caught her sights "Jr I...I...It's exquisite! I can't possibly"
"It was made for you, take it!" I chain it on her neck as it rests on her bare chest.
"And with real emeralds too! Where did you find it?"
"I'd go anywhere to find you gems, but no gems on earth could compare to you, no price can be put on you"
"Oh Jr!" she jumped in my arms and kissed me more.
I stand back up walking to the door "I'll call you tonight!"
"I'll be here!" She blows me a kiss as I blow one back and leave. I let out a hard loving sigh when I pressed against the door, never had I been more in love.
When I got home all eyes glued to me "Well there you are, my little prom boy" Mum hugged me as I hug her back "You didn't come home last night"
"Something came up and I crashed at a friends house!" I lied.
"Oooh Pretty Crown!" Kelly smiled seeing my King crown
"Here take it!" I place it on her hat as it was too big and feel over her eyes but she still liked it.
Mum smiled at me more "So I take it you're night went well"
"Enchanting I'd say" I smiled.
Violet walked over, inspecting me "Why are you all messy? *sniff* and smell sweaty?"
"It's hot outside. I'm gonna go shower!" I race to my room and lock the door.
I hear my phone vibrate as I answer the text from my Girlfriend.
I love you more than you'll ever know xxxxx- London
I smiled and text her back;
My heart burns for you and only you xxxxxxx- Jr.
3 3 3 3- London
London just knew how to make me love her even more.
Two years later...
London pov
"Girls hey girls!"
"Hey London what's up?"
"Nothing just things!" I smiled and then frowned a little towards them
"You look sad?" Violet said
"I kinda am. Jr. been acting pretty funny lately and I'm just concerned"
I saw Vanessa and Violet exchange looks, like they knew something I didn't "Are you two hiding something from me?"
"Who? Us? No way it's a...Sibling thing we got going on here hehehe" Violet smiles
"And about Jr. I wouldn't worry about it best friend, he loves you and you know it as well as anyone does that he truly does love you"
I grinned proudly "I do!"
"Oh my precious Beauty!" I hear my Jr's sweet voice as he walks towards me.
"Jr. you're here early!" I kissed him.
"Just had to see my Emerald Beauty!" He kisses me long and passionately. "But I do have something I need to tell you and it has to be said now!" He takes me over towards the apple tree and looks at me before he speaks
"Remember when I once said to you that I would love you until the day you and I walked down the aisle together?"
I nod "I remember"
"Well...I believe that time has officially come" He gets to his knees before me and grips my hands and speaks from the heart
"Baby for the longest time, since the day I first laid my eyes upon the glorious vision that was you, from then one I had only one sole sourpuss for you and I: To make you my lovely bride. Every moment I spend with you my love grows stronger to the point where I can no longer go off of seeing your face for only a few hours out of a whole day. I need, no, I must be able to sleep and rise with you wrapped around my arms. You deserve to be treated by the man who you know will treat you like the gem you truly are, What I'm saying with all this is that I truly, undeniably am madly in love with you and I want us to be together forever" I was already in tears but that was nothing to what happened when he pulled out a silver diamond ring.
"London will you do me the honor of becoming my one and only for all eternity...will you marry me?"
I just burst out "YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES!" I jumped into his arms as he twirled me around and then slipped the ring on my finger.
"You have no clue how happy I am!"
"As happy as I am that you said yes!" He jokes and we kiss again.
Jr. walked me out where a crowd had gathered. So he had planned this all along "She said yes people we're having ourselves a wedding!" Everyone cheered.
Our parents were surely the first ones to come to us "Sweetheart I'm so happy for you both for both of you" My mum grips me in a tight hug as did my father.
"Thanks mum!" I kiss her cheek.
"But are you sure this is what you want?" My dad asked.
"Yes Daddy I want to be with Jr. for the rest of my life" I wrapped myself to his arms.
"And I want to begin a new chapter of my life with my beautiful wife!" Jr. leaned closer to me kissing my face as I just kept slowly crying.
"Well then It looks like we've got a ready to plan!" Juliet smiled as they all walked away.
Three weeks from then me and Jr. we're happily married for the rest of all eternity. I didn't think I'd ever find myself here with a man I never knew I could love so much.
"I knew you'd make a lovely bride" He kissed me
"And you a great hubby" I smiled as we kissed once more
Another year passed by and we decided that it would good for us to finally leave home and be on our owns. I felt sad to leave but me and Jr. needed to have our space and be like a real couple. When we told our parents they were very happy and said we were making the right decision, so we packed all our things and found a nice little house and made it our home for so many years. And not long after that I was pregnant with our very first child, I was so excited and Jr. was just as happy to become a loving father.
One day while he was gone I was busy doing chores when I heard his voice come through the door.
"I'm home"
"I'm in the kitchen"
The door opens and he came in just as handsome as always "There you are my Beauty" He picked me up and kissed me on my lips making em smile
"So how was your day?"
"Good and you"
"Busy doing housework"
Jr. gave me a frown "You know I hate seeing you work when you're carrying precious cargo" He rubs my tummy.
I smiled when I felt a small kick "In a few more weeks we're gonna be parents"
"Yep soon I'll have a son to teach everything about being a man"
I laughed hard "Of course or maybe our daughter would want to grow up being like me"
"Whatever we have you'll make a fine mother" He brought me to his lips to kiss.
I looked in his eyes for a moment as the shined bright "Hard to believe so much has happened to us over the years"
"And more to come" and he was right.
I just love what I did here and I hope you all do like I said girl this was all for you, you made this all possible and I love you for it *Kisses* Coming up next the finale and it's gonna be a big one so get ready for it. Ta-ta.
Ps. HAPPY HALLOWEEN I'VE GOT TRICK-O-TREATING TO DO AND CANDY TO EAT! PEACE OUT TO ALL MY GHOULS
