*Sebastian POV*
"Tobias I just have to run the border once more and then I am going to head to the party"
"I am heading to the pre party you don't want to come?"
"Nah my girl isn't meeting me there till later"
He raises his eyebrows.
"Your girl?"
"Well I hope she is my girl"
"Have you f****d her?"
"No, she isn't like that she is sweet and innocent"
"No girl is sweet and innocent"
"You are such a grump, if your not going to be nice I won't introduce you tonight"
"Fine I will be nice, I am interested in who actually is good enough to be your girl"
I head back out the front. Shift and start running the borders. I hope she is my girl. I can't wait to see her tonight, I can’t get that kiss out of my mind, if I can sneak another kiss tonight how happy I will be.
*Tobias POV*
I watch Sebastian run off before I turn and walk upstairs to get dressed, while I like seeing Sebastian happy I can’t help but feel slightly jealous. I grab a pair of jeans and a black tee. I don't really care what I look like. I don't even know why I am going to this thing, maybe it is my way of telling myself that I am fine.
I get dressed and fix my hair. I walk at a leisurely pace down to the car and drive to the party. I walk in the building, as soon as I open the door my eyes are instantly drawn to the most magnificent sight I have ever seen. Standing in the middle of the room is Willow, while she is surrounded by people, to me she is the only one there, the only one that can attract my attention, her long red hair hanging long and loose over a powder blue dress. The dress ends just above the knee and zips right up to the neck. She has white slip on canvas shoes and just looks effortlessly perfect. I walk around to the drinks table and grab a drink. I just can't take my eyes off her. I have seen a lot of beautiful girls, but truly her beauty astounds me.
I just think about her hugging me the other night. How right it felt. How perfect it felt. How well I slept.
She is talking to a girl that looks nearly opposite to her, I wonder why she would befriend someone like that.
I watch as 2 guys approach them. 1 guy grabs her friend and the other guy starts talking to Willow. I have a crazy urge to rip off his arm as he runs it down her arm, but she swats it away, which brings a smile to my face. He tries again and she steps away from him. He steps to her and wraps his arms around her. She tries to push him away.
I can't stand it anymore. I walk over and grab her arm and pull her out of his grip and glare at him. He says
"What the f**k man?"
"Shut it and walk away NOW"
I snarl. He cowers and walks away. She brushes herself off.
"Thank you"
She looks up at me and the smile disappears from her face. I say.
"What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? I am a freshman aren't I what are you doing here?"
"If you are a freshman why are you in my class?"
"That is none of your concern really"
"So why are you here?"
"I have every right to be here"
I can see tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"Who are you trying to attract looking like that?”
She looks down at herself then around the room before her green eyes land back on me.
“What do you mean?”
“You know what I mean, leave so I don't have to save you all night from men"
"Did I ask to save me?"
Her small face is red with anger, it is really adorable but not enough to douse the fire in my heart, at least for now she is still my mate, who is she trying to attract?
I scoff and look at her condescendingly.
"What were you going to do with out me?"
She pushes me away.
"Don't ever speak to me again"
I snort, couldn’t be happier with that suggestion.
"Fine by me."
She storms out. I can hear her crying as she leaves. My heart hurts for her but I am doing what is best.
*Sebastian POV*
I finish running the border and head upstairs, quickly shower and get ready. I can't wait to see her again. I head down to the car and drive to the party pulling up nicely beside Tobias' car. I start to walk in the door when I am nearly knocked over, just as I am about to avoid, her scent washes over me, I grab her.
"Willow what's wrong?"
I look into her beautiful green eyes that are slightly red. She is crying and it hurts me to see. She slams her face straight into my solid chest and I naturally wrap my arms around her. I run my hand through her hair. She wraps her arms around my waist and holds me close. Sobbing into my shirt.
"Talk to me, what happened"
She finally stops crying.
"It's just that guy, he is such a jerk"
"Show me who he is, I want a word with him"
A word? I want to rip him limb from limb, why would he even be rude to her? How dare he think he has the right to make her cry, I am slightly confused who could even make this seemingly emotionally stable girl, sob like a little girl? Even when she talked about her parents death there wasn’t much fluctuation in her mood.
Her green eyes shining as she looks up at me, a small smile appears on her tear streaked face as she slightly shakes her head.
"No I just want to get out of here, I don't want to see him again"
"Okay whatever you want, do you want to go somewhere else do you want me to walk you back to your room"
"I just want to go back to my room"
I hang my shoulders. I really wanted to spend more time with her. I wrap an arm around her shoulders and walk her away from the party. She leads her way to her room. I look her over.
"You really look beautiful tonight"
"You think I look beautiful?"
"I always think you look beautiful"
A shy little smile grows on her face. I kiss her on the forehead and she snuggles into my chest. We get to her door after a leisurely walk, I don’t want my time with her to end so quickly, but there is only so long that I can actually drag on the short walk. I kiss her on the cheek, I would like to go straight for the lips but that might be too forward.
"I will talk to you tomorrow"
"Umm did you want to come in and watch a movie?"
I look at her. Her face is like a beetroot she is blushing so hard.
"If you’re sure, of course"
She nods and opens the door. I follow her into her room.
"Ummm do you mind if I get changed?"
"Of course not"
I turn away from her as she takes off her dress.
"Ready"
I turn back to her. I don't know how she actually looks better in her pajamas than in that beautiful dress but she does. She sits in the bed with her laptop and pats beside her. Somehow we manage to fit on the single bed. She picks a movie after I tell her I don't mind what we watch, I could watch a static screen if it meant that I got to spend a bit more time with her. She sets the laptop in my knees and then snuggles into my chest. I wrap my arms around her pulling her close as I run my hand through her hair, it is so soft and so smooth. I pay no attention to what we are watching, I have no idea of the genre let alone the characters or plot, all I know is that her scent is surrounding me, the softness of her hair sitting on my arm, her warm and soft body tightly pressed against me, that is enough to keep me spell bound for the 2 hours until the movie finally finishes, just as I try and think of a way to make her watch another movie so that we can stay in this position. Willow surprises me when she speaks first.
"Did you want to stay here tonight?"
I try to stop myself sounding too excited, all the lame excuses that I was thinking fly out the window. I would never turn down this opportunity. I consider myself a gentleman but that doesn’t mean I am a sucker, if the girl I likes offers to share a bed with me, even if it is the worlds tiniest bed and it will be an uncomfortable sleepless night, I will still never refuse.
"If you don't mind sharing this tiny bed with me"
She laughs.
"As long as you don't mind me hugging you all night"
Is this some sort of trick question? If I minded that I would have to get my head examined.
"I would never mind that"
She puts away her laptop and I roll over and pull her into my embrace. I bury my face into her soft hair. I feel her drift off to sleep. I jump as the door slams open. I turn to look, ready to defend Willow from danger. Willow puts a finger on my lips. She puts her lips to my ear, her warm breath hits me sending a shiver through my whole body, her soft and supple breasts press against me with the action.
"Shhhh"
I look at her in the light coming from the hall. She smiles at me, a smile lights up her delicate features making her even more of a vision. I smile back at her, her smile warms my heart like nothing I have felt in a very long time. The door shuts and I hear the unmistakable sounds of kissing which as soon as I hear the bed creak turns into the sounds of s*x.
I feel Willow laughing into my chest. I bury my face into her hair and laugh as well. I try to cover her ears with my arms. I feel her fall back to sleep. I am struggling to hold her sexy little body which seems to be pressed even closer to me, with the noises that coming from behind me, I have never felt such restraint in my life, it is slightly torturous but still enjoyable. I breathe deeply and force myself to sleep.
