"Daddy, our house,” I gasped as Emma started to cry. Dad picked her up and hugged her. "What happened that made the house burst in flames?" I asked as tears started to fall.
"We have to wait for the fire to be out to see how it happened. We will get back to you after we're done searching the place." The fireman said. "Come on, you three can stay in my house." Shawn said, "We don't want to invade your space." I sobbed.
"Nonsense, my house is your house. So come on." I nodded and followed him to his car. Dad was talking to the fireman. After he was done, he went to his car with Emma and followed Shawn's car. Why do bad things keep happening to us? Are we that unlucky in life?
Chapter 15
Baby Girl
We got out of the car and went inside his house. He showed dad his room, Emma asked if she could share room with me. He said of course. Once we got to the room it revealed two huge teddy bears.
"Sissy, look at those big bears." She said excited. We just chuckled. "One is yours, and the other one is mine." I replied and she went to hug the bear.
"Can I watch TV?" She asked. "Course, remote is on the bed and I'm assuming you know the rest?" He said to her.
"Of course, Silly." She giggled, he just smiled. We left her to watch TV in the room. Shawn took me to his yard and we sat on the couch.
"This day bites, not only did I get beaten. But my house was burned down. All of mom pictures and home videos burned. I'll never see her face again." I started to cry. He just hugged me. "I'm going to beat those two tomorrow. And if they were the one who started the fire, I'll kill them." He said with so much anger. "No need for killing, I don't want you in jail. That place is reserved for Laura and her annoying brother."
"It just breaks me to see you cry, baby girl." He said while caressing my face. "That sounds nice." I smiled. "I called you baby girl at the hospital." He said while giving me a look. "I was in pain, I wasn't listening well." I retorted, he just chuckled.
"Well, would you like to be my baby girl?" He said while resting his forehead against mine. "love to." I smiled. He pulled me into a kiss.
“Harmony, we heard what happened." We pulled away to see Victoria and Trisha. "Any lead on who beat you?" Trisha asked. "Laura and her annoying brother,” I replied.
"Brother, I'm assuming you're paying them a visit?"
"You bet I am." He replied. "Good cause I'm coming too. Can't believe I was friends with that psycho bitch." Victoria huffed. "Can I come too, I saw her once and she had this very punchable face, and I want to get my hands on it?" Trisha said while rubbing her hands.
"Don't get in trouble, I don't have bail money for you three." I sighed, they just chuckled. After talking for a bit, I said goodnight and went to join Emma. I was really tired. I just wanted to sleep and hopefully tomorrow is a good day.
The next morning
After my daily routine I took care of my cut. That itches so much. I went out and everyone was already having breakfast. "Morning everyone,” I greeted them.
"Sissy, your boyfriend cooks so good."
"That, he does." I said while sitting next to her. "dad, any news on the fire?"
“Yeah," he sighed, "whoever started the fire, left a lighter behind."
"Why our house? We've always been nice to people. Tell me why does life hate us so much?Do they at least have the lighter? If so they should send it to a laboratory to know who it belongs too." I huffed. They all just looked at me. "Now mom's pictures and home videos are gone forever." I cried.
"They're not. I was gonna give you this for your birthday." He said while showing me a USB. "All pictures and home videos are in here. Emma always told me better safe than Sorry. I also have another one for you, little princess. But I'll give it to you when you're fifteen." He smiled. We got up and hugged him. I didn't care for the material. Only my mom's pictures and home videos. They were important to us.
Later that day
As promised, they went to Laura's house, but Laura and her brother weren't in the city, oh how convenient. Now we were convinced they started the fire. They deserve jail, I hope the find them. I was laying on the couch talking to Donna. She told me she's dating a guy that doesn't go to school but he treats her well.
"Hey baby girl,” he said while sitting next to me. I told Donna I would call her later. "Hey, babe,” I smiled. "That's the first time you call me babe. I love it." He said before pulling me into a kiss. “Well, you're a babe." I smiled against his lips.
"I'm glad you're in a better mood. I know things haven't been easy for you three. But I'll do everything in my power to keep you smiling. I love when you smile and laugh. It's contagious." He caressed my face. "The house was material. The only thing that was important were the home videos and pictures of mom. And since dad transferred them into a USB, I'm good."
"True. Well, the police is searching everywhere for them. All airports, train stations and more are informed about the situation. They can't be that far. Those two must be hiding really good,” he commented. "To think she could've been your wife." I said while covering my face. He took my hands off my face and leaned in, "But thanks to this wonderful angel, I opened my eyes and now I'm happy with my girlfriend." He replied before kissing me. I just smiled.
"Since that twit came to topic, did you had sex with her?"
"Yeah, but it wasn't special. It was just that, sex. There wasn't any love, or any snuggling after it. It was awkward. We did it a few more times after that. But it was pretty much sex and bye."
"Wow, so Laura was just to fill your needs?"
"Pretty much. But I do know that when you and I take that step, I'll make it very special. Cause you deserve a special first time." He added while interlacing our fingers. "You're not in a rush, were you?" I asked. "No, I'm good with waiting, cause you're worth it. Baby girl." He answered before capturing my lips with his. This feeling is incredible, despite all the bad things happening. Having him by my side made me happy. And I felt safe.
Chapter 16
Too Good To Be True
Two weeks went by and I was in a beautiful sleep when someone decided to get in top of me.
"Baby girl, wake up." He said while pecking me all over my face. "How about no, I need my sleep." I replied while covering my face with a pillow.
"Don't be lazy," he said while pulling me to him. I snuggled and ended up falling asleep again. “You’re such a lazy girl." He pecked my lips then left the room. An hour later I woke up and did my daily routine. I made my way to the living room. Emma had Victoria and Trisha playing tea party.
"New toys?" I chuckled. "Vicky and Trisha brought me these cool toys." She said so excited.
"That was very nice of them." I smiled. "thank you girls." I said and they nodded. I went to the kitchen and found Shawn reading a book while drinking his coffee. As I was about to say something. Someone entered the kitchen and hugged him.
"Finally the maid came, I want some pancakes with bacon." She said and I gave her a look. "I'm not anyone's maid." I said with crossed arms.
"Ana, this is my girlfriend, Harmony." He said while walking towards me, Then gave me a kiss on my cheek. "Aww, you're dating your maid. Is this for a charity case?" She said with a stupid smile. "how embarrassing to be seen with your maid. Is she gonna be your date for your parents anniversary?"
"I forgot about that." He said while rubbing his forehead. I was hurt, he didn't even say anything about her calling me charity case. "Don't worry about me embarrassing you. You can go with Ana." I said before leaving. He didn't even go after me. Guess it was too good to be true. I went to the beach that was ten minutes from here. Once I reached it I cried. I thought I found love, guess I was wrong. Why do people get embarrassed to be seen with someone from a different social status? I think it's time to find a new place. I still got my savings.
Thirty Minutes Later
"You're a major tool. How could you let this hoe talk to Harmony like that?" Victoria said annoyed. "You've met her dad, he can send you to hell with one punch. Fix t
his." With that she left. "I'm better than harmy, I'm skinny, beautiful. Everyone wishes they had me as a girlfriend. But that would be reserved for you." She caressed his face.
"That's where you're wrong. Harmony is ten times better than you. I love her, she's the most honest, beautiful and pure girl on this planet. And I was a real tool to her. You and I are done with this friendship. If you were a real friend you wouldn't have treated her that way. She's important to me. And I never gave you hopes about us being a couple. Friendship yes, but I don't want that anymore." He said to her.
"You heard him, leave." I said and they both turned around. "This isn't over." She said before storming off.
"Harmony, I'm sorry, I behaved like a tool. I was gonna go after you, but I decided to put her in her place. I'm not embarrassed to be seen with you. If anything I'm proud to be seen with the most beautiful girl in the world. One that I absolutely love. I love you, Harmony." He said while caressing my face.
"If you ever let another of your friends talk to me the way she did, we're done. Is that clear?" I sobbed.
"Loud and clear, baby girl. I'm truly sorry."
"Okay." I said before leaving. I was still a little mad. I went to my room to take a nap. A few hours later I woke up with two arms around my waist, I turned around and saw him sleeping. I lightly caressed his face, he may be a tool, but I was insanely crazy about him. He started to wake up and then his eyes met mine. "hey handsome."
"Hey, baby girl,” he said while pulling me closer to him. I look at him while caressing his face and said. "I love you too." With those words said, he pulled me into a passionate kiss. His lips left mine and went to my neck. I pretty much let a moan escape.
"Don't leave a hickey."
"Make no promises." He said against my neck. He brought them back to mine and flipped me so he was on top of me. "I'm one lucky guy to be with such a great girl." He said while caressing my face. "Can I ask why you didn't say anything when she said those things about me?"
"It wasn't cause I was embarrassed. I just really forgot about their anniversary, with everything going on I didn't think if I should go or not."
"I love you, it's just you and me. To hell with my parents. They can shove their anniversary up their asses." He said causing me to laugh. "I love you, it's scary how important you've become to me. I'm afraid one day I will lose you." I said while tracing his bottom lip with my thumb. He kissed it.
"You'll never lose me, I'm very serious about you." He replied before placing a soft kiss on my lips.
"Changing topics, have you heard anything about Laura and her brother?" I asked. "No, it's like earth ate them. But they have to come out. Nothing stays hidden for so long. They will pay for what they did." He answered. I snuggled to him and we stayed in silence. It was a comfortable one. Sometimes words aren't needed.
Chapter 17
What’s Life Without Drama
Another week went by and today we were taking Emma to the carnival. It was just dad and us. Shawn stayed in the house, I asked him to come but he said to spend it with my dad and Emma. He was right. It's been a while since we went out the three. Once we arrived, Emma was squealing. "Daddy, sissy, this place looks so cool."
"Time to have fun, munchkin." I said as I grabbed her hand and went to check the mini games. Since she wasn't fully recovered, she couldn't ride the fast rides. "I won again!" She said while making a little dance. We just chuckled. "This is so fun." She said before running to another game. "Emma, try not to run too fast." I yelled.
After all the mini games, we went to the Ferris wheel. That was the only ride Emma could get in. I loved seeing her so excited. After the ride was over we went to grab food then headed home. Once inside Emma went to her room and so did dad. I was on my way to my room when someone dragged me to another room. "Shawn!"
"Just wanted to say I love you and do this." He added before crashing his lips against mine. We landed on his bed never breaking the kiss. Things were becoming heated. "baby girl, are you up for some exploring?"
"Explore what?" I asked confused, He chuckled and then replied, "Give you pleasure, I want to explore your body. Not all the way, just enough for you to get a glimpse of what's to come."
"Okay." I nodded. With those words said, he remove all my clothes and started to kiss every inch of my body. "You're so beautiful." I blushed, I always blush when he compliments me. And especially now since I'm naked. His lips found my lower lips. I've never felt anything like this before, it was very new but I enjoyed it. Something inside me was forming, I gripped the bed sheets as I let a loud scream of pleasure escape my lips. I was catching my breath as I saw him with a smirk. He made his way up, and gave me a kiss. He guided me to give him pleasure as we kissed. I was left with a sticky hand. I grabbed his shirt and cleaned it.
"So, that just happened. Good thing your room is far from dad's." I chuckled. "Don't worry, they're also soundproofed. I just wanted to taste my girl." He replied while caressing my face. "So, as you know I'm very lost in this subject, so what did I felt before giving you pleasure?" I asked.
"It's called an orgasm. You just had your first." He answered as he interlaced our fingers. "Wow, that felt nice. I'm glad I've had my first for everything with you." I smiled. “I am too, and if you let me, I want to be your first time when I make love to you." He commented before pulling me into a kiss. "Yes, I want you to be my first for everything." I smiled.
"Well, how about we go take a shower, cause right now we're a sticky mess." He said causing me to laugh. He picked me up and shoved me over his shoulder and took me to the shower. Once inside we explored again. My boyfriend is very unholy. After our shower I changed into his tee shirt. We also changed the bed sheets. After everything was changed, we landed on his bed, I snuggled to him and fell asleep Immediately. "Sweets dreams, baby girl," he kissed my forehead and fell asleep too.
The next morning
Once I finished my daily routine, I went outside and made my way to the kitchen. He was cooking. I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Good morning, babe,” I greeted him.
"It's a really good morning indeed." He replied before turning off the stove and then crashed his lips against mine. Our kiss intensified. "Oh kiss,” we heard someone say as we pulled away to see Emma covering her eyes. We just chuckled. After breakfast was over there was knock on the door. Shawn went to open it and it revealed his parents.
"What are you guys doing here?". He asked them. "To confirm if it was true. I can't believe you're living with a maid and you're dating her. That’s disgusting,” she said angrily. "We also found out your sister is living with her girlfriend. Our son and daughter are very abnormal. Throw these people out of your house right now and we might not take you out of our will." His dad said with crossed arms.
"You think I'm going to let go the best thing that has ever happened to me, over some stupid will. Then you must be delusional. I will pick Harmony over and over again." I couldn't help but smile at his words. I was in the kitchen listening.
"We own you, now leave her right now." His mom yelled.
"You don't own him or Victoria. They're adults and they can do with their lives whatever they want. So if anyone is leaving, is you two." I said. I was tired of these people, thinking cause they have money the own everyone.
"You're the responsible for this. I regret bringing you to my house." His mom said before slapping me across the face. Before anyone could say anything, my dad came out of his room and walked into the living room and saw tears falling from my eyes. Shawn pulled me to him and hugged me.
"Daddy, that lady slapped sissy." Emma said while crying. "You touch my daughter one more time, I will forget you're a woman and I wont slap you, I will punch you. Don't test me. When it comes to my girls I will do anything to protect them. Now get the fuck out of this house." Dad barked. They both left the house in a heartbeat.
"Come here, princess." Dad said while hugging me. Emma hugged my leg. After I was feeling better. Dad went out to han
g out with his friends. Emma went to her room to take a nap. I saw Shawn in the yard and decided to go there. "Baby girl, I'm so sorry for what my mother did to you." He sighed.
"It wasn't your fault. And dad pretty much lay down the law, I don't think we will be hearing from them in a while." I said causing him to laugh. "I love you, and I will always pick you over and over again." He said while interlacing our fingers. "I love you too. You're everything to me." I gave him a sweet kiss. What's life without drama.
Chapter 18
Haunted House
After that day things went better. His parents didn't bother him or us. We were two days away from halloween. I promised Emma I would take her trick or treating. After that we would bring her back home. There was this rumor about a real haunted house, and we wanted to check it out. Donna told us about it, she was very excited.
"I'm not wearing a costume." He sighed.
"I'm going as Wendy, and Wendy needs her Peter pan." I pouted.
"Fine, but I'm wearing jeans. There's no way I'm using tights." He said causing me to laugh. "Okay, as long as the other part is on you I'm good." I said before giving him a kiss. "The things I do for my girl." He sighed, "You'll live." I replied.
Halloween came and we got dressed. Course he went to my room to get changed. But that changing turned into exploring. The man is way too excited down there. "This was so not part of the changing." I commented. "no, it was better." He replied while kissing my neck.
"Let's get changed for real." I said getting up only to be dragged back, "Shawn."
"I'm so in love with you, baby girl." He said while caressing my face. "I'm in love with you too." I placed a soft kiss on his lips.
