Chapter 9

~Your POV~

John protectively puts his arm around me and leads me to Aaron's house. He lets me lay down on the couch, and he sits next to me.

"Y/n, where did he touch you!?"

"Under my dress..." I squeak, shifting uncomfortably.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Just a bit dizzy."

"Y/n, lay down, you must be shaken up."

I nod, laying my head onto his lap. John runs his fingers through my hair.

"Y/n, your hair is really soft..."

I feel my face getting a bit hot.

"T-Thanks..."

"Oh, o-oops! I didn't mean it like that!"

"I-It's Fine."

I close my eyes.

"Do you mind if, um, we snuggle?"

"Wh-What? Um, okay."

John brings me closer to him and snuggles with me.

"I missed you, really."

"Same to you, John."

"Last night, did Laf touch you?"

"Partially...? Like not like the man today, but more of what we're doing right now. Except he was shirtless. And, um, he wrapped his whole body around me."

"He did what!?"

"Like he kissed me and all..."

"Y/n, are you still a virgin!?"

"Yes, John, wow. Calm. He didn't go that far."

I think of William. If he wasn't there, I wouldn't be a virgin. Ya know, redcoats aren't all bad...

"Y/n? Earth to Y/n!"

"Huh? Oh sorry..."

"Were you 'just thinking' again?"

"Yeah."

"About...?"

"Just something connected to my last name." I wasn't fully lying. William knew my last name. All the British soldiers do. If I didn't have my last name, they wouldn't have protected me, most likely.

"Oh, alright. I don't want to force you to say anything if you don't want to."

"It's fine. Laf already knows, so you should, too. It's L/n. I'm born into a loyalist family... It's alright if you hate me now... I wouldn't be surprised."

"No way, Y/n! You're an amazing person! Your last name doesn't change that!"

"Oh, alright..."

Aaron walks in. "S-Sorry, but I kinda overheard. I promise I won't say a thing, though!"

"It's alright. This is your house, after all."

"Okay."

John pulls me closer to him.

"John, Aaron's not gonna hurt me."

"I know."

"So... Why'd you do this?" I point to his arms.

"Oh, um, sorry." He lets me go.

Aaron laughs. "You two are funny."

"How So?" I ask.

"Easily flustered. Both of your faces are bright red."

I cover my face with my hands and shake my head.
