Chapter 238
A sigh fell from my lips. I had to stop thinking about it because now the anger was taking over the sadness.
“I have to tell you something”. No more secrets, no more lies. We were done keeping things from each other. “Why do I have a feeling I’m not going to like it p>
“I felt the full moon tonight”. Chewing my bottom lip I turned my head so I could look at him. “I felt it when Ryan kissed me on the cheek p>
His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his eyes meeting mine for a split second. “Why did he kiss you p>
“We crossed paths, he told me to have a good night. It was only on the cheek and I paused.
“And?”. He asked.
“And I hated it p>
“Baby it’s okay I’m not mad”. He reached over placing his hand on my knee. “I trust you Leah but do me a favour p>
“What’s that p>
“Stop being scared to tell me stuff. I’m not going to get anger and lash out. I want you to be able to tell me everything without thinking the worst”. Not what I expected him to say.
“We’re a team princess and I hope you know I’d never do anything to break that. I broke your trust once before but it’ll never happen again p>
As he parked his truck in the drive I leaned over placing a kiss on his cheek. “I love you p>
“I love you too baby and I can’t wait to make you mine p>
“Same p>
Once inside the first thing I did was take the dress off. I put it back in its bag and shoved it in my closet. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I would get it dry cleaned one day.
Comfortable in my pjs I headed back downstairs. Jake was leaning against the fridge his head buried in his phone.
“Something important?”. I asked.
“Just Rocco checking in”. He slipped his phone into his front pocket. “You hungry p>
“Yeah”. I couldn’t remember the last time I ate today.
“Grilled cheese okay p>
“Yes”. I smiled.
As he went about the kitchen I got a bottle of water from the fridge and sat at the table. I couldn’t get Lana’s words out my head.
“Can I ask you something p>
“Anything baby p>
“Do you think I’m soft p>
“Soft p>
“Do you think I’m a doormat p>
“This have something to do with Lana p>
“Maybe”. I took a sip of my water. “She thinks I’m the perfect little princess that has it all”. I snorted.
“You’re my princess”. He kissed my forehead as he placed my sandwich in front of me. “Eat p>
“You didn’t answer my question”. I took a bite just to keep him satisfied.
“You’re not a doormat and you’re not soft. You’ve got a good heart baby and there’s nothing wrong with that p>
“So I am soft”. Rubbing a hand down my face I pushed my plate to the side.
“Eat”. He pushed my plate back in front of me. “Just because you’ve got a good heart doesn’t make you soft p>
“So just a doormat then”. I had no idea where I was going with this.
“You’re fucking perfect and you’re perfect because you are you. Everything about you is perfect. You’re strong, independent and sexy as hell. But most importantly you’re mine”. “Yes to you I’m perfect but I frowned.
“Tell me what happened between you and Lana p>
“No p>
“Leah p>
“She’s said all those horrible things and now I can’t help but think they’re true p>
“Please just tell me what happened”. He moved closer his hand reaching under my chin. My eyes locked with his.
“She kept calling you a whore. Told me I sure knew how to pick them. Doormat, princess, blah, blah, blah”. “What else p>
“Once a cheat always a cheat”. I whispered.
“Do you believe her p>
“No p>
“I made mistakes Leah. I fucked up with you before but I would never do anything to ruin what we have p>
I believed every word.
It was different now, our relationship had grew into something beautiful.
“Please say you believe me?”. Reaching over he grabbed hold of my hand and laced our fingers together.
“I do p>
“You looked beautiful tonight baby”. He pulled me closer his hand resting against my hip.
“And there I thought you didn’t notice”. I couldn’t hide my smile.
“I always notice”. He placed a kiss on the tip of my nose. “I notice everything about you p>
“Not exactly how I thought prom was going to go but it’s done with now p>
“Onto bigger and better things p>
“Yeah with one less friend”. She still hadn’t read my message. I don’t know why I was so bothered. She clearly said everything she needed to say. “She’ll come back with her tail between her legs. I wouldn’t worry so much about p>
“I don’t think I want her to”. After everything she said to me why should I continue to be her friend?
“Was it the alcohol talking or Lana?”. He asked.
“I think the alcohol gave her the courage but that’s no excuse for being a bitch p>
“Sleep on it and see how you feel in the morning. I was thinking we’d leave early afternoon p>
Oh yeah the cabin.
“I want you to know I’m ready”. I kissed his chest before nuzzling my head in the crook of his neck. “I know you are baby p>
