Christian's POV
The bell for lunch has just rung and I'm making my way to the cafeteria to meet up with Ana so we can have lunch together. I'm excited for this weekend that he dad is letting stay the night especially after last time when he heard us. I'm only slightly scared that I'm going to arrive tomorrow and he's still going to kill me for having sex with his daughter. I mean I don't doubt he knew we were doing it but hearing us actually having sex is a completely different thing. I just hope he's not too angry when I get there. As I walk into the cafeteria I notice that bitch who's been making daggers at Ana all week trying to make out like she has some claim over me when she doesn't. I love Ana and I want to spend the rest of my life with her and have a future with her. I certainly don't want this fake barbie but she's getting under Ana's skin and I wish she could just see that its only her I look at. I wasn't lying when I said this other girl isn't even pretty. She's not. Ana is a whole lot prettier than she is hands down.
She's walking towards me when all of a sudden some nerd trips over his own shoes spilling the tray he had in his hands with his food all over barbie. She's seething that her precious clothes are now ruined and she's screaming at this poor freshman frightening him to death. Its then I start laughing at her and how horrible she now looks with food spilled all down the front of her. She's now starring at me with anger in her eyes that I would have the audacity to laugh at her. Then she starts to laugh too with tears in her eyes she's leaning into me touching my arm a seemingly innocent act unless you know me and know that up until not that long ago this would have me seeing red and lashing out towards her in anger. I try to move her arm off me but she tightens her grip and its in that moment I look over to where she's looking and see my beautiful Ana standing there tears about to spill out of her eyes when she turns around and starts running in the opposite direction. I take barbie's hand off my arm and scream at her telling her never to touch me ever again and start running after Ana. She's heading towards the football field and when I finally get there I see her sitting down on the bleachers.
"Ana stop please let me explain. I don't know what it is you think you saw but I promise you it's not what you think it is." I try pleading with her as I attempt to catch my breath after chasing her here.
"It looked to me as if you were getting pretty cosy with the girl who seems so hell bent on stealing you away from me. What happened to all that 'oh she's not even that pretty' and 'you're it for me baby no one else' huh? I guess that was all a load of shit because here you are laughing with her and letting her touch you. Something I couldn't even do until three months ago! I'm done Christian I'm not going to stand by and watch you flirt with some other girl in front of me. I've seen the way she's been looking at you all week and I'm sick of it so just go be with her and forget all about me." She says with tears rolling down her face breaking my once non-existent heart that she could even think that I would do this to her.
"Ana please listen to me it's not like that. Look she was walking towards me when someone slipped and spilled their food all over her. Didn't you see the massive stain on her top? Anyway I thought it was hilarious after all the shit she's been pulling all week so I started laughing at her. At first she was so angry that happened in front of me then she started laughing too and held onto my arm. When she grabbed it I told her to let go about five times but she wouldn't. Then she saw you and started playing it up knowing you would get angry. Then you stormed out and I told her to leave us alone and came after you. Baby I swear that's what happened and if you don't believe then ask every single person who was standing there. I meant every word of what I said there is no one else for me and I don't like her at all. I love you and I swear nothing is happening between us. I know it sounds like some lame excuse but I promise it's not." I'm trying hard to tell her the truth and to have her believe it and believe me that I didn't do what she thinks I'm doing.
"You're right that's the lamest thing I've ever heard and no I didn't look at her clothes close enough to see food on them Christian. I was too busy looking at the fact that she was touching your arm and the two of you were laughing with each other. You know how much I despise her for the audacity she had to say that you wouldn't be my boyfriend for very long and now this. I just don't know what to think." She tells me as she's trying to wipe away her tear stained face and if she'd let me near her id wipe away her tears for her but I don't think she'd have that right now.
"Look I get it, you're upset and feeling insecure and I certainly haven't helped that but please believe me baby that I would never do this to you. Please, please, please believe that. Please trust that I didn't do anything and I don't like her just as much as you. Don't let her come between us baby please I couldn't stand the thought of losing you over someone I have no interest whatsoever in." I plead with her but by the look on her face I don't know if she's having it.
"You really were just laughing at her not with her?" she sighs looking for confirmation.
"Yes baby I promise. When I saw her hand on my arm I tried to pry it off but she gripped me tighter and that's when I looked up and saw she was looking at you. I then grabbed her hand and yanked it off and told her never to touch me again and came after you. I don't know what else I have to do to prove to you that I'm in this for the long haul and that you're it. no one else. I really wish you'd believe that." I say still saddened by the face that she doesn't believe this.
"I do believe you and I'm sorry I yelled and got carried away its just hard when I see someone touch you and all I think is it took me so long to get to a point where I could touch you without asking that it hurts to see that. But I should have believed you. I do believe you that you're in this for the long run. I really just want to go and give her a large piece of my mind and tell her once and for all to just back the hell off." She tells me a look of anger in her eyes.
"Apology accepted and I'm sorry if I did anything for you to doubt me. If it would make you feel better than say something but sometimes being the bigger person will give you better satisfaction than stooping to her level." I tell her as I engulf her in my arms hugging her.
"Fuck being the bigger person I'm going to rip her a new one." She says as she turns around and heads back towards the cafeteria. This is not going to end well I'm sure of it. I decide to follow her back so I can make sure this doesn't get out of hand. The last thing Ana needs is to get suspended for a fight over me. Her dad would not be pleased with either of us and there would go our sleepover this weekend. Fuck.
