Free.
He smirked when he saw his girlfriend was still asleep in his bed. It was moments like these that made him happiest. Maybe it was because he felt like in these moments Lila was really his. Maybe it was because she wasn’t talking, saying obnoxious things like normal. Jon had fallen head over heels for the girl in his bed. It never made sense to him. Why he never could get the tattooed, wild child out of his head, but at the end of the day he was glad he had her. She was intoxicating. She made him feel freer than he ever could on his own. She made him let go, step away from being too serious.
Jonathan crawled in his bed, kissing Lila’s exposed shoulder. She let out a small moan as she slowly opened her eyes, grinning upon seeing Jonathan.
“Why didn’t you wake me up before you went to practice? You know I hate being at your house when you’re not here.”
“I know but I wanted to let you sleep in. I wore you out last night.” Jonathan smirked.
“That you did. I should go though I have a job today, don’t want to fuck it up.” Lila rolled out of the bed revealing her naked body. She walked towards Jon’s dresser looking through the drawers. “Do I have any extra clothes here?”
“No, you took them home to wash them last time you were here.”
“Damn it! Are you buying me panties for Christmas?”
“What? Why are you asking?” Jonathan moved to sit on the end of his bed.
“Because I need new panties, I’m not wearing the pair from last night because somebody had to do a lot of foreplay while my panties were still on.” She made a face at her boyfriend while she pulled on her bra and one of his t-shirts.
“I didn’t hear you complaining last night and this wouldn’t be a problem if you just moved in.”
“Ahg, would you just let that go Jon!” Lila flopped down on the bed. “I will give you a blow job if you stop talking about me moving in.”
“Well if you moved in you could give me blow jobs anytime.” Lila groaned in response.
“Just drop it please, I don’t want to move in, Lindsey needs me to help pay her rent and I’m not ready to move in.”
“What do you mean you’re not ready? We’ve been together for like two and a half years! Lindsey doesn’t even pay her own rent and you hate living with her. You come over here every time she brings a guy over, which is like everyday. Besides isn’t Lindsey moving in with Kaner?”
“Gross. No they’re not even dating. Sluts can’t date each other. It doesn’t work that way.”
“Fine, but we are dating so you should move in. Please for me?” He said holding onto her hands. She looked into his deep brown eyes, biting her lips to keep from melting.
“I’ll think about okay? Now can you drive me home so I can get some underwear?”
“Yeah I can drive you, don’t want you riding the city bus commando. But put on your pants I don’t want you sitting in my car when you’re not wearing panties.”
“What do you think I’m going to get vagina juices all over your fancy car?” She made a face before grabbing a pair of sweatpants.
“So you choose to wear my sweatpants.”
“I’ll wash them asshole.” She smiled before leaning up to kiss him. “I love you.”
“Enough to move in?” She screamed before walking off to go to his car.
The car ride home Lila was a ball of nerves. Jon was the only boy who made her feel, well, anything more than physical pleasure. Lila didn’t like emotional ties because she was notorious for destroying them. She hated the idea of getting deeper into this whole love thing. She didn’t want to drown in all these feelings. She didn’t want to lose what made her free. A spirit that constantly moved never staying in one setting for too long. Only Jonathan had made her change her ways. She loved him, she loved how he cared for her without a second thought but she didn’t like how it made her attached.
“I’ll pick you up for dinner at seven okay?” Jon asked as he pulled up in front of her apartment complex.
“So you’re being spontaneous now?” She grinned.
“Yes, so dress up and have an answer for me by then okay?” He kissed her once more before she got out of the car.
~~~~~~~~
“Is she ready yet?” Jonathan asked Lindsey as he walked into her apartment.
“No of course not, you can’t expect her to do anything the way it’s meant to be done.” Lindsey laughed. “I heard you had the talk with her again.”
“Yeah, I told her to have an answer by tonight. She lives at my house enough anyway I don’t know why she doesn’t just move in.”
“Because that would take the freedom of being able to come and go as she pleases. Keeping Li in a box is like trying to cage a rabid wolverine. Really hard and ultimately pretty stupid. But when it comes to you she’s a little less apprehensive about the whole growing up and committing thing.”
“Hey baby I’m ready.” Lila walked in smiling.
Jonathan’s eyes grazed her body. She was wearing a tight deep blue dress that made her cerulean eyes pop and hugged all her curves in way that made Jonathan want to just walk her back to her room. She was taller than her usual 5’ 7” with a pair of bright yellow heels but still a tad shorter than Jon. Jon had to laugh because even classy Lila had a hard time being completely subtle. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards his car driving to her favorite restaurant.
“You’re really trying to make me say yes to this whole moving in thing.”
“Maybe I am or maybe I’m just trying to be a wonderful boyfriend to my beautiful girlfriend.”
“Well we all know that’s not true.” Jonathan stuck out his tongue. “Whoa we’re in public don’t want people to think I’m changing Captain Serious.” Jonathan rolled his eyes as they were seated.
“May I get you something to drink?” The waiter came by.
“Um, I’ll have a rum and coke” Jon answered.
“What kind of iced tea do you have?” Lila smiled.
“We have long island, raspberry, sweetened and unsweetened.”
“Can I have a sweetened iced tea and bring me some more sugar packets please. Thank ye kindly.” She spoke with a small drawl. The waiter nodded and left. “What are you smirking at?”
“You can never order iced tea without getting you’re southern accent back. I think it’s cute.”
“Southern accents aren’t cute and I can’t help it, I’m a little Georgia Peach who loves her sweet tea.”
The rest of dinner was spent talking about anything other than moving in. Lila avoided the topic like the plague. Instead she busied herself with eating her dinner and emptying sugar packets into her iced tea refills. Once the check arrived Jon couldn’t take anymore and had to ask.
“So have you decided?” He held his breath hoping for good news.
“I have. And I’m not going to move in” Jonathan felt himself deflate at her words.
No matter how much Jonathan loved Lila, she would never compromise her freedom and Jonathan would let her take everything if it meant he could have her in any way shape or form.
