hit and run

Chapter 70

BELLA

I walked through the door of my house after school and then plopped on the couch. My brain felt like it had been hammered down with some much knowledge I didn't even know how I was functioning.

The highlight of my day was when Justin came and brought me McDonald's. Now all I wanted to do was sleep. Preferably in his arms but I didn't have it in me to get up.

"Justin!" I yelled. I heard his footsteps come down the stairs and then he was standing behind the couch.

"What's wrong?"

"Come lay with me." He chuckled a little and then lay down on the couch while I snuggled into his chest. Oh, this is so much better.

All day every single for the past week one of my teachers were cramming to get the final lessons of the semester in since exams were in about a week. Then after exams, it would be three days until my graduation.

I was very nervous for graduation, not so much for exams because I was passing all of my classes and I was really good at studying. Plus my smart ass of a boyfriend has been making me cue cards like you wouldn't believe.

Because well yeah he's a smartass.

It seemed like everything went well with Anthony. It went amazingly I would say. When he came to bring me lunch Anthony didn't even scowl at us once he actually stayed and had a conversation like we were all friends. Which made me really happy.

Justin's hand stroked my hair as I hooked my leg over his. With his other hand, he placed it at the bottom of my skirt so that no one could see my underwear and I smiled. He kissed the top of my head and I moved a little so I was basically laying on top of him. That seemed much more comfortable to me.

Well, it wasn't that comfortable because the couch was small, and Justin was so muscular so I had to keep moving around. Just like when we were in bed at the hotel, he gripped my hips and stopped my movements which made me a little scared but I understood why now.

"Can we go upstairs?" He asked. I didn't want to move. But I knew I wouldn't be comfortable unless I had, so reluctantly I sat up and trudged up the stairs with him following closely behind me.

We went into my room and lay down on the bed, now I was much more comfortable. His hands continued to run through my hair before but there was more room for us to move around. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of his heartbeat, and decided I would take a small nap.

I tried. I probably would have fallen asleep, but Justin was shuffling around. Every five minutes I thought he was comfortable and then he would move again. I guess he thought I was sleeping, but how was I supposed to sleep with his constant moving.

"What is it?" I groaned. No point in sleeping now.

"Sorry. Did I wake you up?" I shook my head. He looked adorable, nervous even so I didn't get upset at him.

"No. What's wrong?" I asked, he sat up and placed his back on the wall and I got worried. He looked like he had something serious to tell me or say to me. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box and then clutched it tightly in his hand.

"So your birthday is in five days. But I wanted you to have this. It's a ring." He handed me the box and I opened it. It was a simple ring, the band was rose gold and the diamond was small and silver. I looked at him, and he ran his hand through his hair nervously.

"Thank you," I said. He looked as if he was hesitant in giving it to me like he regretted it before he even placed it in my hand. But I really didn't know what else to say.
