She knew what he'd say before he said it, because she knew him all to well. She knew he'd want her no matter how hard he had to fight and the worst part about Donnie was he didn't give up easily. Which was a bad thing considering Collin would be smarter the next time he saw Donnie. That was literally the only thing that scared the shit out of her. Eventually she knew Kaleb and Candie would get over it, COllin however didn't like loosing.
"I'm a big boy Tansy, I can handle it. Fuck, I've been dealing with you and Candie my whole life." he shrugged leaning in and kissing her and she kissed him back because as much as she wanted to fight it, the feeling of his lips against hers felt too damn good. "You don't have to be afraid. I'll stay, but I want to hear you admit that you love me." he whispered against her lips before pulling away and she held his eyes. "I'll stay either way, just for the sake of making sure you don't run off to Colin or do something stupid. But I'm not going to fuck you unless I know it means something to you. You deserve more then that Tansy. We both do." she hated the honesty in his voice, because if thee was one person in the world who she listened to when he was trying to be reasonable it was him.
she wasn't exactly sure what to say. It was on the tip of her tongue in all honesty. She knew she loved him the second he'd kissed that day in her bedroom, she was just struggling to admit it to herself. If she said it out loud he'd hold her accountable for it and that what she hated, the idea of commitment, it ruined everything. Her and Collin had been alright until they'd put the boyfriend/girlfriend title on things, her parents marriage was a disaster, she had no good reason to commit other then Donnie's word that he'd be their for her. For Tansy to trust someone was almost unheard of.
She'd spent so much time closing herself off to make sure she didn't get hurt that she honestly didn't even completely trust her own brother. Candie was just about the only person she almost completely trusted, but even then Reed and Candie had been fucking around, so what was the point of trusting anyone? She lit herself a cigarette letting silence fall over them, she wanted to say it but she also didn't want it to be a lie.
"I wanna lie to you and tell you I don't love you." she finally breathed, keeping her eyes on the ground as she pressed her cigarette to her lips, taking a long drag. "But somehow I think you know me too well, you'd see right through me." she said flicking her eyes to his as she blew out a breath of smoke. "I don't love you." she smirked sarcastically, letting him know it was a lie, but a lie he could see through and that was the best she could doe for now.
Reed knew it was hard for her to admit to caring about anyone, but he'd known her his whole damn life. He knew her on both an emotional and physical level. He knew her dark side and he loved it. All he wanted to know in return is that she honestly cared and all the other shit would dissapear. Sure if she cheated on him it'd piss him off, he'd probably beat the shit out of the other guy. There fights would be brutal because they knew exactly how to piss each other off, but at the core of it he'd know she genuinely cared about him and that was all he really needed.
She leaned in kissing his lips and he didn't hesitated to kiss her back. He loved the feel of her lips on his. It made his heart race and skin tingle. She was the only girl he'd ever known that could make him feel so incredibly good with a simple kiss. She pulled herself into his lap and he wrapped and arm around her pulling her close as her lips moved along his jaw and neck making him groan.
is good enough for me Reed, I love you so much it hurts." she whispered against his skin and he could see the honest in her eyes and he had to admit he was relived, because the kind of games her and Tansy played were sick and it was hard to tell what they really thought, He could tell though something in her eyes was different this time. "I just can't wrap my head around the fact that you love me back. I've never been lucky, and suddenly, as cliche as it sounds, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
She smiled bringing their lips back together and kissing him harder and he kissed back just as hard, slipping his tongue past her lips to deepen the kiss as he laid her down on her back on the couch and kissed along her neck before pulling away to look her in the eyes.
"That's how I always want you to feel baby." he smirked. "I don't give a shit what happens between us, as long as you feel the way you feel right now." he said holding her eyes, he pressed his lips to her forehead and then the tip of her nose. "Now enough of this chessy chick flick stuff." he smirked. "I say we go skinny dipping." he raised a brow, gesturing to the back door.
