Because Of Him

Chapter 9- Day

Hey guys sorry it took so long to update been really busy but here you go

I awaken to an empty bed swallowed by goose feathered pillows, and a large fluffy white comforter. I stretch to release my tightened back muscles, I reach my hand over and feel nothing but soft bedding. I roll over and panic, where did he go? I crawl out of bed and head downstairs. The smell of bacon fills the house and I linger into the kitchen. There stands Gage shirtless with a fork in his hand. "Ah you're awake lovely, now you can help me with the biscuits" he motions over to the can of unopened biscuits on the counter. I waddle over still very sleepy and pop the can open and jump with the loud noise. "You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine just startle easily" he looks down at me then shakes his head. We go about our business making breakfast. After we eat we get ready for school. I basically have my entire wardrobe over here now and m few essentials of make up. I slip on my skinny jeans, maroon v neck shirt and combat boots and straighten my thick hair and head out of the bathroom where he sits in his cargo shorts and band tee swinging his keys around his finger. It was almost Christmas break so this week was going to be so easy I could sleep and make a 100 in all of my classes. We walk out where a 1967 Chevy Impala sat waiting for us.
"Is this yours?" I ask looking very confused and he chuckles and looks down at me
"Like it? It's new" is all he said as he went and opened the passenger door for me. I throw my bag in the back and climb into the white leather interior and remains speechless as I run my fingers over the dash board. We take of and the car puurs like a cat. He holds his hand out for me to take it as he drives. Incredibly unsafe but I didn't care, I took it anyway. As we pull into school the eyes were on us. We park and he opens my door for me I climb out and see mouths gasped open at us but I try to keep my head down and avoid people. The bell rings and Gage and I walk to first period. I take a nap as Gage reads his book. Classes fly by until we reach physics, Gage had to go down to the counselors to do scheduling for next year. Sitting there doing my physics work sheet when the devil walks up to me. Yes you guessed it, Madison.
"So I see you and Gage are pretty close lately"
I put my pencil down and look up at her " I mean I guess so when you share a bed for awhile"
"Wow you actually put out and he saw your body? Didn't run away screaming?" I was hurt by those words but Gage I haven't done anything else since that night but I can't tell her that.
"I guess he just doesn't like twigs"
"Well don't get used to it, he'll be mine sooner that you can blink"
I stated at her for second then blinked really big "guess not". She huffed and walked off right as Gage walked into the door he comes by me and kisses me on the cheek. I can feel Madison staring at us, then the teacher walked out so I knew this was my opportunity, I grabbed Gage and gave his a long passionate kiss just to spite Madison, though I must say I didn't mind it. He seemed like he didn't either. The bell rang and the class cleared and Gage turned to me
"So what was that?"
"Nothing just thought I'd kiss you"
"Liar we both know you don't like public displays of affection"
"But you do"
"But I respect you, don't think I want you to do stuff if you're not ready. And don't do it to spite Madison either" I looked up at him in shock
"Yes I knew, I saw her gunning us down, and I saw that intent in your eyes" he grabs my waist and pulls me close to him "just know you don't have to do anything, I love you just the way you are"
He looked to shocked as he covered his mouth faster than speedy Gonzalez.
I look up at him and blush "I love you too you big dork" I toss my bag on my shoulder, grab his hand then rush out of the room with him and we head home.
