The constant knocking at the door woke me up from a deep sleep. I got out of bed only in boxers and a t-shirt. I opened the door violently, angry at the visitors for waking me.
"What!" I said rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw the one I was secretly fighting for. "Alexis?"
"Hey." She said looking at my disheveled appearance.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, trying not to make it sound rude.
"You weren't answering my calls. I was worried about you."
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine." She said. "Can we talk?"
"Alexis…"
"Please."
How could I say no. I opened the door for her and she walked in past me. I shut the door.
"Can you wait right here for a second? I'll just go put something more…decent on." I said awkwardly.
"Yea."
I walked back into my room and changed into dark blue jeans and a white short-sleeved button-up. I quickly brushed my teeth and walked out to find her sitting on the couch. I went ahead and sat down in another chair. Not wanting to chance being so close to her.
"I have been crying for the past week. I have done nothing but cry and sleep." She paused to look at me. "I asked my dad if he talked to you. He can't lie to me, his face just is covered with guilt. You talked with him, didn't you and he talked you into it. Didn't he?"
I couldn't lie to her either, "It's not safe. You aren't safe. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you and it was because of me."
"Why would I not be safe?"
"Because of who my father is. Your dad said something to me about how he is a dangerous man and I think he is right."
"Why?"
"I have been investigating for myself and I have reason to believe that he is involved in several m…crimes."
"You've been investigating?"
"Yea, I wanted to maybe try and solve it, prove that he is innocent to try and get you back. But, I don't think my father is innocent."
"That doesn't mean you can't have me back." She stated.
"Alexis, I'm not putting you in danger."
"You wouldn't be if nobody knew. Think about it. We could keep it a secret again. Nobody would know."
"You're still at risk."
"Jasper, these two weeks have been the worst two weeks of my life. I hate not being with you. Now that I've seen what we are. I can't ever go back."
"Me neither." I leaned forward and pushed a strand of hair out of her face. Laying my hand delicately on her cheek, I leaned forward and kissed her with all of the passion in my body.
It felt so good to kiss her again. To feel her in my presence. To hold her. I pushed her down onto the couch and hovered above her; holding myself up on both of my forearms that were on either side of her face.
"Alexis?"
"Yeah?" She whispered running her hand from cheek to my hair.
"I know I broke the promise before but, I only did it to protect you."
"I know."
"You will always come first."
She smiled and blushed.
"Can I make another?" I asked.
"Another…?"
"Promise."
"Yeah."
"I promise to never leave you. Even in the bad. I will always be there. You are my everything." I said leaning down, placing light kisses all over her face before kissing her on the lips.
She was mine again.
She was mine.
