Max bends down to whisper “Well go easy on him Al” I watch my brothers enter the house and I see Knox behind them.
Bending over to kiss my lips. I see Kyle grab him by his collar and drag him inside with my brothers. Seeing the grin on Knox’s face makes me smile too.
I get attacked from behind by people screaming in my ear and jumping up and down. I know it’s Andy and Hannah.
“Yes! Oh my god! Alex! He loves you! He fucking loves you!” Andy squeals, wrapping her arms around. “Ugh! I’m so happy for you!” Her whisper feathering my ear.
Hugging both of my best friends I can’t stop smiling. I’m on cloud nine.
Stepping back from them I feel Ben watching us. Turning around to meet those ocean pools, he sends me a soft wink. I wrap my arms around his waist hugging him.
“I already knew. He told me” telling my hair.
“You knew? Did anyone not know this except for me and Kyle?” Nodding his head lifting pieces of hair off my face.
I roll my eyes and slap Ben’s back playful while he grips me tighter resting his chin on my head. What are they doing to him?
Waiting for him to walk back out we hear Kyle roasting him. Andy’s eyes widen at her boyfriend, hearing the muffled yet loud voice we stand there in shock staring at the closed front door.
That’s what they call going easy on him? After a while it stops and calms down, we don’t hear anything.
Not a single word. I don’t know what I should be more worried about, the fact that Kyle was yelling at his best friend, possibly hitting him, or the fact that it’s quiet. Too quiet.
If I walk inside and see them tying him to the chair. I will kill them. Before I reach for the door it opens revealing him.
He exhales jokingly and walks over to me, “Being on the receiving end of that conversation wasn’t fun baby doll. But it was worth it” kissing me hard we hear a throat being cleared beside us.
“Yeah, that’s weird...” Kyle scrunches up his nose in disgust at both of us. He walks away abruptly from us to his own girlfriend almost hiding behind her.
I turned back to my boyfriend. I take hold of his jacket pulling him to me and kiss him again.
“What are you thinking about?” He asks my lips. Feeling his heated breath on my lips making them tingle. I’m finding it hard to put my feelings into words.
“You’re my boyfriend” his grin gets wider and pecks me once more, taking my head in his hands.
“And you’re my girlfriend....” hearing a few awe’s around the driveway we laugh at our families being so into this. They’ve been rooting for us since day one.
He kisses the side of my head and whispers, “I can’t believe I get to call you mine. My girl. My girlfriend. My love. My baby doll. All mine. Every single bit of you.
I can’t wait to kiss you after my games when you come watch me play. I can’t wait to surprise you when you’re in college. To love you every single day of our lives. I can’t wait to wake up next to you in the morning.
To be able to kiss you in front of everyone to show them you’re mine and I’m yours. I can’t wait to start my life with you. This is the best day of my life.
I love you Alex, every single part of you” placing a soft kiss on his lips.
It will never get old. Kissing him feels like the best thing in the world. The heart-racing, skin-tingling, and butterfly erupting feeling.
“I love you Knox. Every single part of you. Even the annoying side of you” making him laugh sending me a playful glare.
“And you promised me those words would never leave your mouth in my direction. And here you are, completely smitten with me!” He teases me, remembering I did say that at thanksgiving.
“I think you’re the one completely smitten with me, Carter. Let’s not forget you’re the one who confessed his love for me live on TV...” I poke him on his button. He still looks hot in his suit.
“And I would do it again in a heartbeat baby doll” before we kissagain Kyle speaks up making us stop and turn our heads to face him.
“Alright, ease up on the smooches Carter. We all know you love my sister. Let’s tone it down a little?” Kyle waves his hands in front of himself.
He starts to fidget out of discomfort seeing us together. But I know he’s secretly happy for us both. In his own weird way.
