I want to say something, anything. No words come to mind, only laughter. Like keel over, sides hurting, can’t breathe, laughing. He really had us going with that stunt. I clap him on the back as I control my laughing.
I wasn’t kidding when I said he was the most terrifying bastard out of the three of us, but he would never hurt someone or something that didn’t deserve it.
Midas gives me a big smile, knowing we accomplished what we needed to, and the three of us walk into school. We continue talking and chuckling while we walk down the halls towards Serena’s locker, hoping she is still there.
Thankfully, she is. She and Evie are standing by her locker chatting. We stopped and just watched her for a second. Serena takes my breath away every time I see her.
I never imagined finding someone like her. I never imagined findinganyone.I want to get on my knees daily and thank God, or the devil, for bringing her to me. To us. For fixing the cracks in us that he chose to ignore for so long.
Midas calls her angel, and she is. A being sent to us to remind us that there is more to life than what we know. To me, she will always be my princess until the day we wed and she becomes my queen.
My eyes never seem to be able to leave her when she is in the room. Like a magnet, I am drawn to her. Evie says something that makes me laugh and smile. A sight I want to see for the rest of my life.
I was so worried after the shooting. Terrified that she wouldn’t be able to find joy in life for a while. I spent every day after school at her house, seeing the haunted look in her eyes. Fear that it will happen again. She reminded me of when she first moved here. Scared. Always looking over her shoulder. So unsure about herself.
I don’t know the reasons behind her fear in the beginning, but they don’t matter. Well, they do. Anything that makes my princess upset matters to me. All I mean is that she overcame the obstacles that haunted her before, and she will do it again. Life will eventually go on, and that bastard will be found. I plan on playing judge, jury, and executioner when that time comes.
I can’t stop myself. My feet start moving before I can register that they are. I grab her around her waist and pull her in close to me. She lets out a little squeak as I move her and quickly melts into me.
I groan as the bell rings, not ready to let go of my girl yet. Serena turns into my arms and looks up at me. I have never seen someone so beautiful before. Her blonde hair is cascading down past her shoulders. She isn’t wearing any makeup, but she doesn’t need it. She is stunning. Even in sweats, she takes my breath away. She could be wearing a black garbage bag, and I would still think she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
I tilt down and gently place my lips against hers. She instantly opens her lips to me, allowing my tongue to dance with hers. A small moan escapes her, making me groan. I love the noises she makes. I could listen to them forever and never get tired of them. It’s becoming a craving of mine. Ineedthem. A drug I never want to stop taking.
Slowly, she pulls away from me, ending the kiss before I want it to. I watch her as she and Evie walk down the hall to their first class. I know I have class with her, and I easily could join her, but I love to watch her ass as she walks away.
Finally, it’s the end of the day. It feels like it has been dragging on forever. Classes have been boring beyond belief. The only thing that makes the school worth coming to is Serena. Only having a couple of classes with her during the day sucks, but I do treasure the moments together.
I rarely pay attention in class to begin with. I have never been a model student. The entirety of my time in high school, I have just barely passed my classes. It’s not like I plan on pursuing any more education after this.
Now that I share classes with her, I pay even less attention. It doesn’t matter what she is doing, she captivates the entirety of my attention.
Serena is a straight-A student.I guess opposites do attract.As much as I want better grades, I have never seen the point. My life has been mapped out for me since I was born. Though studying would be worth it if she were my sexy tutor.
Oh, the fantasies that popped into my head. Ok. Ok. I need to make these a reality now.
I grabbed Serena’s hand as we walked out of math class. Mr. Labeau wasn’t in today, not that I am complaining at all. I still don’t know what his deal is, but there is something shady about it. As much as we wanted to look into him, he seemed harmless enough, not warranting a background check. For now.
You never know what skeletons you will find in someone’s background that could be used as good blackmail. It's always good to have some dirt on someone, just in case they try anything. Another life lesson brought to you by my sadistic father.
Midas and Zeus are walking behind us, watching everyone as we walk through the halls. I glanced down at my hand, entwined with Serena’s, and the smile on her face. Happiness fills me knowing that she is finally ours and Valerie won’t be a problem anymore.
We wait while Serena grabs her bag from her locker, and we walk out of the school towards the parking lot. The sun is bright and shining. The air is still warm, even for November. It’s a perfect fall afternoon, and the only thing I want to do is spend it with her.
The four of us are chatting and laughing at the shit that happened at school today. Serena even commented that she was surprised not to see Valerie again after this morning. Zeus, Midas, and I shared a look, trying to act surprised. All I wanted to do was laugh and tell Serena what happened, but I had no idea how she would react. We just got her, and I don’t want to do anything that might scare her off.
Instead, we play it off as if we have no idea what happened to her. Some things are better off as secrets. Maybe one day we can tell her everything, but not until we are positive that she won’t leave.
She should know what we are and what we do, or at least some of it. I hear honesty is the best thing for a relationship, another life lesson from Pops. I want to be honest with her, but at the right time.
Everyone has secrets. We keep them close to us, to protect ourselves and others. That’s what I am doing. I can’t do anything that will make her leave.
We make it to her car, and the smile on my lips instantly falls.
Fuck. Not what I wanted to see right now.
Dante
Nico, Marco, Bastian, and I have spent days trying to figure out who took those girls. In the time they have been here, another two girls have gone missing. I have increased patrols of my men, making sure there are more on the streets so they can effectively protect everyone. That hasn’t done anything to stop the bastards behind this.
