Off the Deep End || Sequel to ATF

This is a few months later.

Liza's dream (its happy, I promise :)

I remember the first time David ever said he loved me. It was 10 after he'd saved me. We were fooling around in a park clearing, surrounded by trees. He'd cupped his hands around my face and stared intently into my eyes.

"I love you, Liza."

Of course I said it back. Because I did. And then the rest had happened. And I couldn't be more damn grateful if I tried.

"Merry Christmas, babe."

David's hovering just over my face. I laugh and peck him on the lips.

"Merry Christmas, bubba."

I push back the covers on our bed. The past month living with him has been exactly what our relationship needed. I don't have to drive to see him anymore. I get out of bed and slip on a bathrobe. I walk to the kitchen, brewing David and I a cup of coffee. Our tree is blinking bright white at me.

"Let's open presents!"

I plop on to the floor, making David laugh. I rip into his present for me. I flip open the box to reveal a small, silver ring with a little stone inside.

"It's from when we first kissed. In that rooftop."

"David, it's... it's so beautiful!"

My eyes swell up with tears as I slip in the ring. David flips open his box and tapes at the Rolex inside. He looks just like a kid, his jaw dropped and his eyes wide.

"Holy shit, why'd you get this for me?"

"You deserve it, babe."

I slip around the side of the table and kiss David.

" I love you."

Smut! Pretty graphic. Read endnote please.

David pulls me back into the kiss and wraps his arms around me. He slips off the bathrobe and pulls me closer to him. It's like a switch gets flipped in my head: one minute we're unwrapping presents and the next I'm shoving my tongue down his throat the whole time we're walking to the bedroom. I wrap my legs around his torso.

"Damn, your clothes aren't all the way off yet."

I chuckle and unwrap myself from him. I shove him down onto the bed and trace my fingers up the sides of his shirt before I tug it off. I shuffle forward, sitting on top of David and letting him tug off my top. He kisses me, letting his lips gravitate to my collarbone and down the side of my stomach. His lips pull away and brush the skin right below my bellybutton. I grip David's hair and pull him back up to my face. I bring him in for a kiss, but he places it just to the side of my mouth. When I turn my head to meet his lips, they dart to my jaw. His lips make their way down the other side of my body, closely followed by his hands. He kisses a line up the center of my body and finally reaches my lips. I roll to the side and grab a condom from the bedside drawer. I glance at the expiration date - what the hell?

"David, these expired a week ago."

He smiles at me and presses his lips to mine. He moves his hands slowly down the sides of my body. He looks up at me from in between my thighs.

"Its a good thing that we don't need those."

The sun filters in through my lashes. I glance across the bed to see David splayed out and smiling. It feels nice not to have him disappear. David's eyes flutter open and focus on my face.

"Morning, babe."

He groans and rolls back over. I press my hand to the cold window. A few flakes drift lazily from the sky. I pull myself up and look out the window. No snow, just my imagination. I slip out of bed and tug on my bathrobe and some slippers. I have so much work to catch up on. I walk into my office and turn in my computer. I check my analytics. Always girls, always young. I hear a familiar ping from across the desk.  I take off my cameras lens cap and hear the familiar click.

One new message from: Kwisten 💕💕
I'm here, let me in!

I buzz in Kristen.

"Hey!"

I smile and wrap her in a hug. She rolls out the yoga mat as I set up my camera.

"Hey guys, what's up? It's ya girl Liza, coming at you.   Today, I'm here with my friend Kwisten! Say hi Kwisten."

"Hi Kwisten!"

"Were going to be doing the yoga challenge!"

Kristen and I spend the next hour falling all over each other and trying to be gurus. It's times like these when I realize how much I would've lost if I'd jumped off of that bridge. It doesn't feel like that long ago. And of course there have been bad things in my life - losing Maia, going to jail. But it's worth it in the long run.

Awwww. I really like how this chapter came out. I'm sorry it took so long though! It's very hard for me to come up with smut since I'm so young. Speaking of smut, I have a kind of big announcement. I will no longer be announcing where there is smut or violence. It really interrupts the flow of the chapter. I will only give warnings with elaborate detail on very gory stuff and touchy topics like rape and suicide. I hope you enjoyed this long-ish chapter. As always, sorry for typos.

thx babes!
