Chapter 233
"Don't cry baby". His grip tightened as he pulled us into a sitting position. "I love you too, I always will "I'm sorry". I whispered wiping the tears from my cheeks. "I don't want to cry but I can't help it".

My emotions were all over the place and I hated it. It seemed everything was getting the better of me and couldn't catch a break. "Big girl panties". He whispered.

"But what would you do?".
"I'd keep it".
"You would?". I sat up so I could look at him.
"I'd put the money in savings and I'd sell the house".
Sell the house? I couldn't do that.
"You don't need the house, we have our own".

"I could give the house to Carter?". He was living in it anyway and like Jake said we didn't need it.
"Is that a question princess?".
I frowned. "I'll give it to Carter".
"Whatever you want to do". He slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me back down. "Bedtime". That was me told.

When I woke the next morning I was wrapped around him like a vine. Head on his chest, leg hooked o I hadn't moved all night.

Lifting my head slowly I kept my eyes on him as I unhooked my leg trying not to wake him. Once I got out of bed I grabbed my housecoat and slipped it on.
It was still dark outside which told me it was still early. Reaching for my phone I cursed myself when I looked at the time.
It wasn't even 6 o'clock and yet it felt like I had been sleeping for hours. A sigh fell from my lips as I left the bedroom.
It was going to be a long day.
Reaching the kitchen I switched on the lights and went about making myself some coffee. Jake wouldn't be up for hours and I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Taking a seat at the table I unlocked my phone and brought up my text message thread with my gran. I closed it again.
I had to stop. I was going to drive myself insane and it wasn't healthy. If she wanted to reach out she would have done so by now. If she wanted me to know why she left then she'd have left a letter. She did none of the above.
I had to forget about her. She was no longer apart of my life and she wasn't going to be apart of my future. I had to stop wasting my time and letting my thoughts get the better of me.
I was going to keep the money. It would help in a big way considering I had zero plans for after graduation. The money was a safety net until I figured out what I was going to do. She wanted me to have it so I was going to spend it.

"It's still early baby. Why not come back to bed?".
My eyes devoured his body as he stood in the doorway wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. My mouth became dry as I felt the tingles spread to my lower region.
I had the urge to squeeze my legs together.
I wanted him so bad.
I wanted to lick every inch of his body.

I was only punishing myself because him standing there right now is what I'll be picturing all day.
"You want coffee?". I asked.
"What I want is for you to come back to bed". He took a few steps forward. "Don't want you missing out on prom because you're tired".
I couldn't hide my grin. "I'll be fine, I can nap later". I took another sip of my coffee my eyes connecting with his over the cup.
Pure sex, even with his bed head.
As he walked fully into the kitchen my heartbeat quickened. I still couldn't believe I said those three little words. I don't know why I was scared to say them in the first place.
