Lips Are SEAL'ed (BBW Contemporary Military Stepbrother Romance) (6 page)

Chapter 6

I laughed and kissed him again trying to pull away, but he held me tightly against his hard body. “I’ll call you, I promise.”

“I’m not ready for you to leave. I feel like there’s so much time that needs to be made up for. I should have cornered you sooner.” He kissed me again and stepped back shoving his hands in his pockets.

“Oh, stop pouting; I’ll be home in a couple of weeks when the semester ends.”

“That’s too long.”

“No, you’ll be gone, remember? You’ve got two fights while I’m taking my finals. You’ve got this, and then we’ll have all summer together.”

He smiled and his eyes lit. “Yeah, I’m also going to have my own place when you come home next.”

I slid into the car and nodded. “That’s great. We can have privacy and not have to worry about the parents seeing something they shouldn’t—again.”

He laughed shaking his head. “I love you, Brenna, and I know you won’t say it back yet, but I’m going to tell you every day.”

I leaned out the window and crooked my finger at him. He leaned in and kissed me again. “I love you too, Gabriel.”

His eyes widened and he stood and whooped before grabbing my face in his hands and then kissing me softly. “You have no idea how good it is to hear you say that.”

“I know, and I’m sorry I was so weird about it, but you understand why.”

“I do, but now I’m gonna want to hear it all the time. Say it again.”

“I love you, Gabriel.”

“Oh yeah, this is best day ever. I love you too, baby. Now get your ass back to school and kick ass. Call me when you get there, and text me whenever you want.”

“I will. Keep me updated on your fights. I’ll be cheering you on from my classes.”

“Will do, now get out of here before I drag you out of that car and fuck you on the roof.”

My eyes widened, but I stated the car and waved pulling away. Gabe stood in the street until I turned the corner going back to school. I smiled. I couldn’t wait until summer. Things just got a lot better. For once in my life I was truly happy and I agreed with him. There was so much wasted time because I was scared of my feelings.

The drive was short and as promised, I text Gabe letting him know I’d made it safely.

‘I’m here.’

It wasn’t more than a minute before he replied.

‘All right baby, I love you.’

Smiling I replied, loving how sweet he was.

‘I love you too.’

I put my phone down and unpacked. These were going to be two very long weeks. Gabe wouldn’t even be in the state for most of it, and I was going to be studying my ass off. I already missed him, and then I laughed realizing I was one of those girls. The ones who were so in love they couldn’t stand to be away from their man. Yep, that was me. The countdown began until I would be able to see him again. I was in so much trouble, but I loved it. There would be no more loneliness. I was going to finally get out there and have a life. Gabe didn’t just save me from a shitty ex-boyfriend who liked to hit women, he saved me from myself, and now I was able to call the sexiest fighter in the tri-state area my boyfriend.
