I blink rapidly at the girl standing in my doorway, I swallow hard as I watch her examine my features, an obvious look of concern washes over, she watches me for a moment before biting her lip.
"Can I… Can I come in…?" She asks softly as I slowly nod and step to the side so she can pass through the doorway. I shut the door and turn back around to face her.
"I uhhhh, brought you your homework…" She gives me a soft smile, she sighs softly, "do you want to talk…?" She whispers softly I watch her curiously, as she stands, rooted in place her hands knitted tightly together her eyes cast down to the floor.
"Do you…?" I ask quietly, as I silently wait for her response.
"Yeah… I do." She whispers her eyes finally rising to meet mine, her eyes that are usually shining as bright as her smile, aren't shinning at all… I can feel her pain, her sadness just staring into those eyes.
"Let's go in the living room…" I whisper quietly as Greer follows me into the living room, and we both sit down on the couch. I turn off the TV as Greer sits down, a thick blanket of silence covers the room, I feel as though Greer can hear my heart pounding in my chest… And finally she breaks the silence.
"I'm sorry… You got hurt… Because of me…" She whispers softly, I turn her way quickly, opening my mouth to protest, but I quickly snap it shut.
She bites her lip as she slowly turns, and slips her hand onto my face. She gently traces my bruised eye, a small frown on her face.
"Why'd you hit her…?" She whispers quietly, as I lean into her touch.
"I wasn't gonna let her get away with treating you like that… Just because…" I pause staring at the girl in front of me, "Just because your parents split us up, doesn't mean I stopped caring about you…" I whisper softly, as she drags her hand down, so her thumb can run across my bottom lip.
"I'm sorry… I'm just so sorry… About everything…" She whispers softly as the tears slowly slide down her cheeks. I reach my hand up and quickly wipe her tears away. She gently grabs my wrist, her eyes racking over the bandage wrapped tightly around my hand. She pulls my hand gently forward and gently presses a kiss to it.
I close my eyes, relishing the feeling of her lips against my skin. I slowly open my eyes, to see Greer studying my features.
"Just look at you…" She whispers softly, a smile slips onto her lips as she shakes her head slowly.
"What am I gonna do with you?" As she drags her thumb across my cheek slowly. Her smile slowly changes to a frown, "I just wish you wouldn't have gotten hurt… Because of me…" She whispers softly, I take a deep breath, a smile slips onto my lips.
"Well… I wasn't gonna let her talk to my girlfriend like that…" I whisper softly, but automatically freeze, at the words that just tumbled from my mouth. My face turns crimson as Greer's hand slides off it, I quickly turn away.
"I uhhhh… I didn't… Uhhh… S-sorry…" I stammer softly, and stare down at my hands.
Greer sighs softly, her hand sliding under my chin, gently raises my head so our eyes can meet.
"Girlfriend huh…?" Greer whispers softly, I shut my eyes as a hard blush comes to my cheeks. I swallow hard, keeping my eyes shut, afraid of what I might see if I open them. My eyes snap open when I feel her lips press softly against mine. I open my eyes just in time to see the sparkle in her eyes just before they flutter shut, my heart races as her hand slowly caresses my cheek.
She gently takes my bottom lip into her mouth, sucking on it gently, I whimper softly, as Greer places one more gentle kiss to my lips and slowly leans back.
I swallow hard before slowly opening my eyes, I'm met by a large toothy grin, and a pair of adoring eyes staring into mine.
"I like the sound of that…" She whispers softly, her hand moves back to my cheek, her eyes dart around my face.
"You want to…." I pause and take a deep breath, "you want to be my girlfriend…? But what about… What your parents said… What if they're—"Greer cuts me off by leaning forward and pressing another soft kiss to my lips.
"Brenna Carver, you look at me now…" She commands softly, as I open my eyes to peer into hers.
"Don't you listen to a word those people say… They're wrong… You're perfect, and beautiful just the way you are…" She whispers softly, her eyes dart slowly around my face.
I slide my hand up, covering the hand on my face.
"You fought for me…" She whispers softly, a smile stretches across my face, "yeah I did… And I'll continue to do so… Because you mean the world to me… And nothing… Not even your parents can tear us apart." I whisper softly, with a deep sigh.
"I just hope… Your parents don't find out…" I whisper softly, and Greer leans forwards, her lips an inch from mine.
"Well… We'll just have to be sneaky… Won't we?" I feel a smile slip onto my features, as she leans forwards closing the distance between us.
Sneaking around…? Could be fun.
