Tormented

18. You

"First of all, stop interrupting me and..."

I feel my mouth turn into a smirk.

"You better make sure no one finds out about us."

With that, his eyes light up and he runs around the desk, finally putting the object behind us.

Then crushes me in a hug.

"Thank you so much..." he whispers to me in the crook of his neck.

"Well, don-" He pulls back and puts his lips on mine with passion steeping out of his every movement.

Well damn.

He grabs the back of my neck and presses me even closer.

Got darn...

I return the fever with just as much force.

It's as if everything I was holding back has finally broken open, releasing lust, longing, and love.

We scratch at each other's clothes, trying to get as close as possible.

He flips us around, moving so he's in front of my chair.

He sits and pulls me onto his lap, I open my legs and straddle him.

He grips my hips.

I gasp with shock, feeling his manhood against my core.

He grabs my nape and tries to push my lips back on his, but I lean away.

"That's enough."

He pouts.

I chuckle and slap at his hands still at my hips nearing my butt.

"Move." I say, but he ignores me, instead, pulling me into another hug.

I could get used to this.

"I like you so much..." he whispers into my ear.

I feel my heart swell with rightness.

Everything about this feels right.

Gosh, he's so cute.

I hug him back and lie on his chest.

"I been wanting to do this since the day I first saw you, so let me take you out to dinner, my treat?" He asks cautiously as if I could say no now.

"Of course. When?"

"Tonight."

She's finally mine.

I fist pump in front of my bathroom mirror, smiling as I have been since Lucy made me the happiest man alive.

My heart skyrockets as I realize our date is in only a few hours.

I can't wait to see her again.

I walk out of my bathroom and into my room, going to my bed.

My suit lays there, ironed, and clean for the dinner.

I sit and lie next to the suit.

How could I possibly have missed out on this feeling for so long in my life?

My mother and father never really cared for me, only coming home to continue their work, never paying attention to me.

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"Are you and dad going away again?"

"Yeah."

"When are you guys coming home this time?"

"Can you...leave me alone? All you ever do is complain, you're nothing but an annoyance." Her voice clearly showing her dislike.

I stand there shocked, shaking with tears running down my face.

My dad walks in and sees me crying.

"Gosh, not this again, shut up." He says.

I run to my room and close my door.

I sit on my bed and cry.

Until I can't anymore, and fall asleep.

When I woke up all the love I had for my parents had dried up just as my tears had.

I think that's when I closed myself off.

I stopped letting people in.

The feeling of love had become unknown to me.

Then Lucy came into my life when my guard was down and completely changed it.

She gave me something to want and cherish.

Her.

And I'm never letting her go.
