Thread: Best Friends Make The Best Lovers [XxMoonlightRomancexX & last_true_romantic]

No, it has never been, nor will it ever be true. Roxanne protested, this was when the effects from the things the boys she had dated began to show. She seemed to be getting ready to say something else when Leo pressed his nose to her's and nuzzled her, but Roxy didn't say anything so it must have slipped her mind which was probably a good thing because anymore most of the things that came out of her mouth when she was talking about herself were negative and hateful things. Things like how repulsive she thought her body looked or what a bad friend and girlfriend she was. Hell, sometimes her comments about herself were much worse than that and every time she talked about herself in a negative way she could see rage in Leo's eyes, although, most times it was long gone as quick as it had come. Even when Roxy saw a flash of rage within her lover's eyes she knew he wasn't made at her he was mad at the assholes who had made her like this. When he put his finger against her lips to silence her she didn't try and pull away, not even when he took her face and held it in his free hand did she try to pull away. Roxy simply let her eyes wander until she was looking up into his face. Then, when he started to speak, Roxanne couldn't say she was shocked by the stern, yet loving tone he was using and she found that as much as she wanted to deny every word of what Leo was saying that she couldn't because every word of it was true. Many times at school she had found both friends of theirs and boys she hardily knew watching her as she made her way down the hall and it seemed amazing that she had never caught Leo watching her along with the other boys. When he ended his rant with a kiss to her forehead she couldn't help but smile up at him. What she didn't know was that he had swore to himself to undo all the damage those boys had done to his best friend turned girlfriend and what Leo didn't seem to know was just how hard that was going to be. Something else that Roxy didn't know was that Leo was devoting today to just making his girl happy and to make her smile. As they stared into each others eyes Roxy too, smiled when she saw a smile return to Leo's face. Then, I promise to not change a thing about me. She agreed upon hearing his promise to her. As her head rested on his shoulder she found the movement of his body as he breathed in and out relaxing and when he leaned down, resting his head on her's she closed her eyes. When Leo spoke again after breaking the silence that lasted only seconds between them Roxy didn't open her eyes just yet, but she was listening to him and was far from falling asleep. You could have told them, no matter what they might have done to me I could have handled it. Roxanne said, although it the back of her mind she knew exactly what would have happened to her. Whoever she had been with at the time would have beat her within an inch of her life and she would have ended up in the Emergency Room and maybe even in an a coma. After spending most of her teenage years with abusive guys like her all of her ex-boyfriends she knew how guys like that thought just as well as Leo did. When Leo pulled her against his chest and his grip tightened that was when Roxy opened her eyes and as her back rested against his chest she could feel not only his muscles tensing up, but her's too. No, you're wrong because they would have pulled guns out on you and no matter how strong I make you, you couldn't have survived a bullet to the heart or head. She argued, tears filling her eyes at just the thought of her exes doing something harmful to Leo. When he did kiss her forehead that seemed to be just what she needed to pull her thoughts away from the possibilities of what might have happened if Leo had confronted them and to bring her back to him. She was also able to blink most of her tears away and upon hearing him chuckle she began to relax once more. Making me believe that might take awhile. She said and smiled up at him, but seeing that charming smile of his made her want to melt in his arms. Roxanne knew that she wouldn't see just what he saw when he looked at her overnight, hell, it might take years but eventually she would. Roxy knew that Leo enjoyed her company and knew that he always had and probably always would. Just being around Leo had nearly the same effect on her. When the two of them were alone, like they were today Roxy seemed to become much more outgoing and happy. in addition to that she usually couldn't stop smiling when she was around Leo. The intoxicating feeling of happiness she got from being around him was something she needn't explain to him and it was almost impossible to explain to anybody else. As the two of them shared a kiss it made Roxy smile against his lips to see that he was surprised by the movement of her hand to the back of his head, in an attempt to keep his lips from leaving her's. In the short time that had passed since he had confessed his true feelings for her to her, there were already visible changes in Roxanne. Not only was she becoming more open with her feelings for him and showing Leo more affection but she was becoming more open when telling him things, too. She was no longer going out of her way to hide things from him and everyone else like she had been before they got together. Once more, she smiled against his lips as he pressed them against her's and she moaned softly as he traced her soft lips with his tongue. At that moment she regretted having to pull away so that the both of them could get some much needed air. But, when she pulled away her smile mirrored his, showing that she was just as happy as he was. As she caught her breath she moved her head to the spot just above his heart, listening to its strong and steady beat as she caught her breath. I didn't tell you sooner because I didn't want you to worry. She explained. Up until now it wasn't hurting that bad. Roxy added as he helped her up. When he said he didn't want anything to bother her today, no matter how little it was she smiled, finding it cute how he worried about her so much. When he lifted her into his arms she was a bit surprised, but didn't fight him. In fact, she just moved her head back down so that it was resting in the place just above his heart once more. I have no objections to you carrying me around the house, my lion, but after a while your arms might start to hurt a little. She said, smiling as he nuzzled her nose against her's once more. That sounds perfect, but I think the question is would we rather tell them in person? She asked, looking up at him as he carried her out of her room before making his way down the stairs.
