《The Lilly Within the Ashes》Ch 26
Advertisement
I wasn't sure how to respond. I was so in shock all I could give him was silence and a blank face. His confession of love was so abrupt. It didn't help that I assumed he was asking for sex either. What a great way to set the mood Lilly...
I saw him stand up from the couch, causing me to break from my trance. "Uh, let's, um, just forget I said that." His tone broke my heart. Every word cracking, with tears I knew he was desperately holding in. Afraid he took my silence wrong, I grabbed his sleeve and pulled him towards me. Smashing my lips to his, trying to show the words I couldn't bring forth.
It was a quick peck but the moment I moved away, he studied me. Trying to understand what was happening. Unable to handle the emotions coursing through me, I bursted into tears. If I wasn't too busy crying, I would have laughed at the panicked man in front of me. He rushed over to the side table, grabbed a wad of tissues, stopped in front of me and hesitantly tried to give me the snot disposers. I ripped them from his shaking hands and blew my nose like a broken trumpet.
Fifteen minutes later I calmed down. A pile of snotty and tear soaked tissues rested on the coffee table. Next to the germ filled trash, sat the worried and confused man, painfully gripping onto my hand.
"You okay?" It was a rhetorical question. We knew I wasn't, so I went straight to the point. "Why? I have nothing to give you. No money, house, or mafia background. I haven't been able to get a job out of college! I-I can't give you anything." His eyebrow pushed together letting me know he was upset. "Yeah you are right. You can't give me any of that because what you just mentioned is what I'm giving you. I planned to always give you that. What you can give me is a friendship, family, and most importantly your love."
The tears I thought were gone, appeared again. He stood up and held his arms open, silently asking for a hug. I jumped in his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. "You know what I love about you?" he whispered into my ear. "I love you because you are kind, selfless, innocent, and absolutely gorgeous. I love you because you are you. You make me excited to see you and to never want you away from my reach. You made me feel calm and happy for the first time in a while. You made me look forward to things.... These and many more made me really fucking love you." My grip tightened on his shoulders while I tried to bury my face into his neck to hide my blush.

After what was a few minutes, I felt him loosen his arms around me. "Let's go to bed sweetheart. We can talk more tomorrow." I raised my head from his shoulder, to see a tired and upset expression. "No." I mumbled. He sighed, trying to rip me from his torso. "Jason, listen to me you peanut brain." I growled while tightly gripping onto the collar of his polo shirt. "Lilly, can we not right no-" I pulled his collar even more so it made our foreheads' touch. "Will you please shush before I chicken out?" His mouth shut with a chomp sound. I took a deep breath and expelled the words I was unable to speak a moment ago. "I love you Jason."
THUD
I was dropped on the floor with a direct landing on my back. The wind got knocked out of me, causing a pained breathy groan to exit my lungs. "oh-OH MY GOD! Lilly are you alright! Oh shit, oh shit! I-I'm so sorry! I was just so surprised! FUCK! Are you hurt?! Let me see!" I laid stiff on the floor while Jason tried to turn me over and take off the top of my dress to see the damage. When I felt the top of the dress be pulled halfway down my back, I realized he saw my penguin bra. Pushing him away I squeaked, "You can't strip me right after you dropped me on the ground Jason!" A playful smirk and a glint in his eyes told me he was going to say something I wasn't going to like. "So if I didn't drop you, you would have let me strip you?"
I had the brightest blush on my face. So bright it burned. Not knowing what else to do I grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it as his face. Making a soft pat sound when it connected with his head. "Shush your mouth!" I walked away and went straight towards our bedroom door. Before I entered my embarrassment increased tenfold from the four words he spoke. "The penguins suit you!" With that, I slammed the door in pure mortification.
A soft press of warmth was felt on my lips, then my cheeks, forehead, and nose. Fluttering my eyes open, I see the most beautiful flower in the world. My Lilly. My love. The one who loves my stupid ass back.

Grabbing the back of her head, I moved us in for another kiss. This one deeper, longer, and more satisfying than her short pecks. I pulled away and noticed we both had matching smiles. Bright and cheerful. "Good morning my love." A blush sprouted on her cute little face. "Good morning." The response was only a whisper, but right there I had a brain orgasm. It sent waves of tingles starting from the back of my head to the bottom of my spine. Her voice was gentle and soft, but at the same time had a sexy tone, making my downstairs twitch.
I pulled her to me and snuggled my head into the crook of her neck. Taking in a large sniff of her intoxicating sent. "Hey Jason?" She wiggled in my arms, brushing my morning wood, causing a pained groan to escape me.
Either ignoring or not noticing my pain, she continued to wiggle. "Lilly, you better stop wiggling, or my dick will be inside you in seconds." She not only stopped moving, but she laid there like a concrete statue. "Oh. Sorry. I-I just wanted to ask when it would be a good time for us to get Anthony a puppy?" My body tensed and my horny switch turned right off. The want to tell her 'no' was overwhelming strong, but I just woke up and didn't feel like arguing that early in the morning.
I let her blabber about what dog would suit him and when it was a good time to get him the damn puppy. I finally decided to stop her before it went too far. "We're not getting him a dog." An adorable pout and a whined 'Why?' came from her. "He's not going to take care of it and I know damn well I will be the one who will end up with the dog instead. I don't have enough time for a dog when I have you and work." She sat up and glared down at my still laying body. "Jason you had a dog. You know how happy they make people. Anthony has always wanted to own one and he really needs a little more happiness in his life right now. I think getting a dog will help him with his pain."
I groaned because I knew she was damn right. "Fine. Now go take your shower while I make breakfast." With a peck on the cheek and a happy skip to the bathroom, you'd think I told her we were going to the Bahamas. But this is over getting my best friend a damn dog. I've never seen a woman so pleased over something so small.
Deciding to make a quick phone call, I left the room and sat on the couch, dialing the number. "So have you fucked yet?" was the greeting I got from my best friend of fifteen years. "No. But even if we did, I wouldn't have told you because that is personal." A hearty laugh was heard from the other side of the phone. "Well did you at least tell her Blue Balls?" I groaned at the abusive name and grunted a yes. "I'm proud of you boss.....Now, I don't mean to intrude on your lovey-dovey life right now, but get me out of this shit hole or I will be killing someone. Mainly my PT. She has been asking for her death certificate since she fucking started."
We came to an agreement that I would get him discharged by the end of the week if he would let me hire a personal nurse and PT for him. He tried to tell me he didn't need to do PT for the umpteenth time but I hung up before he could finish. I knew when we would see him later in the day, he would bring it back up, but for now, I gotta find the brat a damn puppy.
