“You’re not pathetic, Hales. I’m sorry we pretty much made you tell us. I think we needed to know though,” Tony pulls me into a hug as he speaks. “We all knew there was something off, but could never figure out what. Thanks for telling us.”

“Do you guys want to watch a movie?” Breaking the silence that fell over us Mike holds up the first Harry Potter movie.

“Put it on, we’ll join you guys in a minute.” The end of Jaimes sentence turns into a mumble as he buries his face into my neck. “Haley, I’m so so so sorry. I should’ve been there throughout all of that. I should’ve realized how alone and how much pain you were in. I’m so sorry. I love you, Haley. I wish I had been there.”

“It’s not your fault at all. I hid it, I never told you. I love you, now kiss me and lets go watch Harry Potter,” I lift his head to look at me and to kiss him.

Bringing his hand up to rest on the side of my face, he pulls me in for a long kiss. Pulling away, he gets off the table and picks me up, taking me to watch the movie. Once were laying on the couch I feel his hot breath against my neck. “Babe,” he whispers into my, pausing by pressing his lips against my neck, his hand on my thigh. My body shudders from the new sensation, “the guys mentioned it but we never talked about it.” I tilt my head in confusion and he must have noticed, “Sex, we’ve never talked about it and I want to know-”

I cut him off by saying, “Not now Hime.” I settle back into his chest and pay attention to the movie.

By the end of the movie we’re making jokes, throwing pillows and play-wrestling. I fall back on the couch watching Mike and Tony argue in front of me over whether we’re watching Star Wars or the second Harry Potter movie next. Looking to my left I see Jaime and Vic messing around, laughing at each other. I’m glad to call this my home, they know so many personal things and I’m still comfortable with them. The movie begins and they settle down taking their seats to watch Star Wars. Vic in the armchair, Mike sitting on the floor with his back against the couch I’m laying on. Laying on my side my head rests against Jaimes thigh and my legs across Tonys lap.

I notice Jaime getting tired by the way his body is relaxed and he stops running his fingers through my hair. “Baby, can we please go to bed?”

I smile up at him, “You can and I’ll meet you in there if you want. I want to watch this, just a little bit longer Hime.”

“See you in a little bit,” as he gets up he places a pillow under my head so I still have a place to rest my head. “I’m sorry if I fall asleep before you come in.”

The movie ends a half hour later and the four of us make our way to our rooms. Saying goodnight to them I open the door to Jaimes room and slip inside. “Hales?”

“Yea babe,” It’s weird that the word ‘babe’ comes out so easy but it feels right, like I’m meant to say it, along with ‘I love you’. “I thought you were going to fall asleep,” I slip out of my sweats and take off my bra from under Jaimes shirt which I still had on. I slide under the blankets beside him, instantly being pulled tight against his bare chest, facing him.

“I wanted to have you before falling asleep, plus I’m not really tired anymore. I really just want you.” My eyes still adjusting to the dim light I feel him smile against me more than I can see it. He gets closer and I expect him to kiss me, instead he ducks his head down to my neck and softly kisses across my collar bone. The effect it has on me is amazing, yet terrifying at the same time. He continuously places kisses against my neck, nipping at my skin a few times, his hand finds it’s way to my waist under my shirt, sliding up my body.

Placing my hands against his chest I stop him, he quickly removes his hand and pulls away, “Babe, I’m sorry.” I turn a little so he won’t see how embarrassed I am. “I love you, Jaime, I’m sorry.”

He replies frantically, “No, you’re fine. What did I do wrong? Did I hurt you?”

“You didn’t do anything wrong,” I pause trying to keep myself from crying, “it’s my fault. Uhm, I don’t know what to do.”

“What? Wait.. oh.. okay I get it now. ‘Not now Hime’ Wow, how did I not catch on from that,” He asks himself more than me, thinking out loud. He turns me back to him to look me in the eyes as he speaks, “Haley, this is not anything to be embarrassed of. It’s normal and I’m okay with it. I should’ve asked if it was okay. I never thought of that being why you had always avoided the subject. Honestly Hales, I think it’s a bit cute. My girlfriend is innocent.”

I laugh slightly from his last remark before I sigh returning back to what this is about. “I’m 22 though, Jaime. How can that be cute. It just means no one has wanted me in that way.”

“Don’t say that Haley. It’s not true. I’ve wanted you in this way since we were 16. And I know that other guys have too which is part of why I told them to back off. I’ve watched you grow up and change and you don’t know how amazing it is to watch you change like that. You’ve always been beautiful, but you look so different now. You’re the same girl that I’ve known for 10 years. Your hairs the same, except longer. Your eyes still change depending on the weather, always blue, green or grey. Your dimples still show every time you smile and that’s funny because if you’re not smiling then you would never know you have dimples. The way you carry yourself. The same beautiful innocence. Your body, lips, eyes.. trust me. I’ve wanted you. So, you being a virgin doesn’t bother me at all and no one should care except me and you.”

He studies my face after saying what he did. He honestly looks adorable when he’s nervous. I allow myself to smile before asking, “Why do you care Hime?”

Pulling me much closer, nearly kissing me. I feel his lips brush against mine while he whispers, “Because it’s mine to take.”

Notes

So I feel like my chapters are too short but I don't know. It's just how it's worked out as I write. If there's typos or anything please forgive me, I've got a horrible headache and I've read over it so many times trying to make sure it's perfect.
By the way, there's going to be more characters in chapters coming up so I'm not sure if I should add them to the character list now or later or even at all. Let me know what you think?
Thanks guys (,:
