I looked up, and Roxy was looking at me. Her eyebrows were raised, and she was smiling. At that moment, there was no doubt she knew that I wanted her more than I wanted my next breath. The way she was looking at me, full of desire, I knew that she wanted me just as badly.
I took the shampoo, and I began washing her hair. I massaged her scalp, and worked my way down her hair, making sure to touch her all the way down. Once I was done, she did the same to me. Her fingers felt good, massaging my scalp. She licked her already wet lips, and continued massaging.
I leaned closer, and let my lips graze over hers. The kiss was quick, but it was full of need. When we pulled back, I grabbed the soap and slowly began to lather her up. I was going to touch every inch of her body, and I was going to take my time.
As soon as my fingers touched Roxy's skin, she let's out a sexy little moan, and closed her eyes. I was so turned on that I could hardly keep from taking her again, but I felt that some things were worth waiting for. I wanted to drive her crazy first. I wanted to hear her beg again.
I started at her arm. I never realized how sensual it could be, touching an arm. I worked my way down her arms, to her fingertips. The ends of her fingers felt like there was electricity coming out of them. I proceeded to do her other arm, and then I did the bottoms of her legs, and her feet. I was intentionally leaving the sensitive spots for last.
I began to work my way up her legs, and towards the inside of her thighs. I teased her with my finger, and she sucked in a deep breath. I could feel her shaking against my body. I pulled my hand away, and began lathering her stomach. Her hungry eyes were watching me the whole time.
I worked my way up to her breast, and gently rubbed.
“Oh, Aiden,” she breathed out, and then put her head on my shoulder. She gently bit me, and I pulled my hands away. Once again, I moved my hands down, between her thighs, and gently started massaging. I teased her again with my finger, pulling it in and out of her. After only a few seconds, she screamed out in pleasure, and I smiled a victorious smile.
Once again, Roxy's lips crashed into mine. She pulled back, smiling. “It's my turn.” She had an evil look in her eyes, and I could tell she's going to get me back for all the teasing I did to her.
ROXY
I was shaking from the mind blowing orgasm Aiden just gave me, but I was pretending that I was unaffected. Though, I was pretty sure he could see through my act.
I grabbed the soap from his hand, and began lathering him up. I took my time, making sure to save all the sensitive spots for last, just like he did with me. My hands moved smoothly over his body, and I was about to fall apart right there, but I managed to keep it together somehow.
Finally, there was one spot left on his body that I had yet to wash. He was looking at me. His eyes were desperate. I made sure I hesitated before touching him. I pulled him down to my lips, and kissed him. I teased his lips with my tongue, and he started breathing heavy.
I pulled back, and slowly made my way down. My hand moved over the length of him, and I heard him moan. I couldn't help but smile at the fact that I was the one who pleased him. I set the soap aside, and let the water run over him. I was about to put my hand back on him when he stopped me with a kiss. I felt his hand work it's way between my legs, and I let out a whimper against his lips. I wanted him so bad that I could hardly stand it.
“Aiden, please...”
“Please what?”
My breaths were coming so fast, it was hard to talk. I could barely think when he was touching me like that. “Please, I want you.”
He kissed me deeper, and worked his way down my neck. “You want me to what?”
I was about to scream. He knew exactly what I wanted. “I want you to fuck me.”
Lifting me off the shower floor, he slid himself inside of me. I instantly moaned at the sensation. He pushed me against the wall of the shower, and began to push in and out of me with force. He was not being gentle this time, and I liked it. I wanted to scream, but at the same time, I was vaguely aware that my parent's were somewhere in the house. The pleasure was building fast, and I waited for the release to come.
Aiden started moving faster. His breaths were coming out fast and heavy, and I knew that he was about to release. He pushed in one last time, and we climaxed together.
He held me against the shower wall for a while without pulling out of me. I didn't want him to. I could still feel the pounding inside of me. I silently wondered if he could feel it too.
When Aiden pulled back, I already missed him being inside me. He put me back down on the ground of the shower.
“You are so fucking hot,” he whispered.
After our shower, I quickly got dressed. Aiden was looking at me like he was about to devour me again if I didn't cover up, and as much as I wanted him again, I knew that I only had a few more days with my family before going back to school. Plus, it was New Years Eve, and pretty soon our house was going to be filled with friends and family.
I put on a strapless, red dress. It was skin tight, and stopped just below the top of my thighs. It was a Rachel approved dress, and I wore it just so I could see the look on Aiden's face. I hid in the bathroom to fix my hair and makeup. It only took me about 30 minutes.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, Aiden was eating me with his eyes as he looked me up and down.
“Damn it, Roxy. There is no way I'm letting you leave this room in that dress.”
“You don't like it?” I asked, as I walked closer to him.
He pulled me onto his lap. “Oh I like it. I like it a lot. Problem is, I'm not going to be able to keep my hands or eyes off of you. Neither is every other guy out there.”
“You're the only one allowed to touch,” I promised.
He pulled me to his lips, and kissed me until I was dizzy, and then pulled away. “Don't you forget it either.”
TWENTY
AIDEN
Since coming back from Christmas break, I hadn't spent one night without Roxy. We both took turns staying in each others dorms. Every weekend we either went to see my family, or hers. I loved spending time with my family, but I liked going to see Roxy's family better because we had privacy. At my mom's house, we slept on the pull out sofa bed, and I was not about to have sex with her and have my little brother or sister walk in.
Roxy hadn't had a panic attack in almost 3 months, but she didn't get rid of the pink in her hair either. She said it reminded her of who she is and where she came from. I didn't complain, because it was super sexy. I couldn't imagine her without it.
Last week, we got tattoos together. I know what you're thinking... Tattoo's are permanent, and most relationships don't last. Well, ours will. But it's not like I got her name tattooed to my neck or anything stupid like that.
Roxy got a tattoo on her right hip that said 'Now that you got me, I'm yours completely, forever'. It's part of the lyrics she wrote for me. It's actually really awesome. The tattoo is pink and black and its in a swirl.
I got the word 'Forever' tattooed on my back, close to my shoulder blade. I figured since I planned on being a teacher, I should get something I could cover up. Roxy was obviously thinking the same thing about herself.
My family loved Roxy, especially Grace. They were always whispering to each other and giggling.
I looked up at Roxy. She and my little sister were laughing. I winked at her.
“Girls...” Aaron said, all dramatic like, and rolled his eyes. “I'm never getting a girlfriend.”
I laughed at his words. “You'll change your mind when you're older,” I told him, checking out Roxy's legs in her short skirt.
Aaron hadn't gotten into any more fights since his arm was broken, and I was glad. He told me he just walks away, like I told him too, and it didn't take long for them to get bored of it.
“Let's go to the movies!” Grace suggested, excitingly.
I started to say no, but Roxy looked excited. “There's a new Channing Tatum movie I'm dying to see.”
&nb
sp; “Who is Channing Tatum?” Aaron and me asked at the same time. They both laughed, but didn't answer. We just followed them to the car, scratching our heads.
3 grueling hours later, we were on our way home.
“I'm going to wash my eyeballs with soap,” Aaron whined.
“I second that,” I agreed.
We all walked inside the house, and when we did, there were streamers hanging from the ceiling. There was a huge sign that says 'Happy Birthday Aiden'. Roxy's parents were here, along with my mom, and my best friend Gary.
Gary, he was such a forgiving friend. He forgave me the next day after I punched him. He said his “wound” made it easier to get laid, because girls were all sympathetic to him. I rolled my eyes at that.
There was a huge birthday cake on the counter, with 20 candles on it. I had actually forgot I was turning 20. I couldn't believe I was not a teenager anymore. It felt surreal. I felt... grown up. It was a weird feeling.
After I blew out my candles, I felt Roxy's lips against my ear. “I've got some great birthday plans for you later.”
She pulled back quickly, and it took me a few seconds to recover from her comment. I was trying to think about anything other than the words she just whispered in my ear, though it was hard not to.
ROXY
Life was good.
Aiden and me were officially together 6 months last week, and what a great 6 months it had been! Tonight was the first night that we had spent apart since we started dating. He was taking his little brother camping. I told him to go, that I would be fine, but I was going to miss him like crazy.
Grace came and stayed the weekend with me at my parent's house. She freaked out and said 'Oh my god!' a lot. Her eyes got really big when she saw the pool inside. She let out a little girly scream.
I pulled out my phone and sent Aiden a text.
Come back soon?
My phone vibrated instantly. I promise.
I smiled at the text, and put my phone away.
Dr. Lewis and I cut our weekly appointments back to bi-weekly appointments. She even said hinted about cutting them down to once a month.
I wondered when I would be able to stop going to therapy altogether, but sometimes I thought maybe I never would. Sure, I felt better, but I had some pretty dark demons in my closet.
Grace eyed the bar on our way back through. “Can I have a glass of wine with dinner?”
“I don't know...” I said, looking at her. She was just a kid.
“I'm fifteen and a half! And a lot of my friend's parents let them drink!” She pouted.
“Let's ask your mom first,” I started to pull out my phone, but Grace screamed.
“You can't do that! She'll totally freak out!”
I smiled. “Then I guess the answer is no.”
She rolled her eyes, and sulked for a few minutes, making her seem that much more immature.
“Fine.” I said, pulling out a wine glass.
“Really?” She squealed.
There was a half finished bottle of wine in the fridge. It was really bitter, and honestly, it tasted disgusting. I wouldn't even drink it. I poured her a little drink.
She put it up to her lips and took a big drink. She instantly spit it out. “Gross! That tastes like vomit!!!”
I laughed, and she didn't ask for alcohol anymore after that.
When Aiden got home that Sunday, we locked ourselves in my bedroom the entire day. Aaron and Grace were out with my parents and they wouldn't be home until late.
“There is nothing better than Naked Sunday,” Aiden said.
“Hmm, I don't know... Do you remember Naked Friday? That was a pretty epic day.”
“Yes, it was.” Aiden pulled me to his lips and kissed me, and pulled away. “I love you.”
“I love you, too. Forever.”
“Forever,” he agreed before his lips covered mine. This time, neither of us had any intention of pull away.
EPILOGOUE
3 years later
AIDEN
Today was the happiest day of my life. It was the day Roxy and me graduated from college. It was also the day that I would ask Roxy to be my wife. I was pretty sure that she would say yes, but I couldn't help but feel nervous.
Roxy's dad was buying her a house for graduation. It was not a big house, just a small 2 bedroom condo close to their own home. When I asked him for Roxy's hand, he showed it to me. He said it was the “perfect place to propose”, and I couldn't agree more.
“I can't believe you're graduating today,” my mom said, and started crying again. “And my Grace... You're leaving for college in the fall....”
I rolled my eyes.
My mom and Roxy's mom were already planning our wedding. Of course Roxy didn't know it, but maybe she suspected something. I was not very good at hiding stuff from her, and she probably thought I was acting weird. Still, I hoped she acted surprised. I hoped that my proposal would blow her away.
2 hours later, I heard my name. “Aiden Dixon.” I walked onto the stage, getting cheered from my family, Roxy and her family, and the entire football team. When they handed me my diploma, I couldn't help but feel complete. One chapter of my life ending, but another great, even better chapter beginning.
When I heard “Roxy Gibson” called, I yelled at the top of my lungs for her. She walked onto the stage, and accepted her diploma. She looked at me as she walked back down. She was so happy.
The ceremony seemed to last forever, and it felt like they would never quit calling names. I just wanted this over with. I wanted the ring I bought for Roxy on her finger, proclaiming she was forever mine.
After graduation, Roxy insisted on taking the entire family out for dinner. The whole time, I couldn't stop sweating, and I was just ready to get her alone.
“Let's get out of here,” I whispered in her ear.
She looked at me, and nodded.
ROXY
Aiden was acting weird, and he had been for about a month now. I knew that he was hiding something from me. But right now, as we drove down the road, I didn't think about it. The sun was shining, and it was a beautiful day. I finally graduated college, and was done with school.
I thought Aiden was driving me to my parent's house, but he turned down a different road. I shot him a questioning glance, but he just stared at the road. He looked scared, and suddenly I was feeling nervous.
Oh my god, what if he was dumping me? Is that why he had been acting weird?
I pushed the bad thoughts to the back of my head and made myself breathe. It had been 3 and half years since I had a panic attack, and I was not about to have one right now.
Aiden pulled up to a condo and turned off the car.
“Where are we?” I asked.
“We are at your graduation present,” he smiled. “It's from your dad.”
“What!?” I ran towards the door. “How come my dad didn't bring me?” I asked as Aiden unlocked the door. He didn't answer. He just flipped on the light switch. Inside, the whole floor was covered in pink rose petals. The rose petals led up the stairs. Without a word, he walked in front of me, and after a few seconds, I followed. The petals led through a door. Aiden walked inside, and shut it before I got there. I was about to cry, because he shut the door in my face, but when I opened the door, I saw where the rose petals stop.
Aiden was kneeling in the middle of the floor, holding up a ring.
“Roxy,” he began. “I have loved you since the first day I met you on the roof. I knew at that moment that there wasn't anything I wouldn't do for you.” He cleared his throat, and I could tell he was trying not to cry. Tears ran freely down my face. “I love you so much, and I promise that I will love you every day for the rest of your life. Roxy Gibson, will you marry me?”
“Yes!” I answered without hesitation. With shaking hands, he gently placed the ring on my left finger.
“Forever?” he asked.
“Forever,” I agreed.
Aiden picked me up, and carried me to the b
ed. He made love to me, and I knew that today was the first day of forever.
The End.
Or, beginning.
