Jealous?

The love that Amelia had for John Laurens was something no one could ever compare too. As the night continued, so did the ball and the dancing. The young woman had left his side to go speak with the famous Schuyler sisters which she had been friends with since she was young. They laughed and gossiped, drinking away the night, Amelia occasionally catching the gaze of Mr. John Laurens, only causing her to send a wink. As she stayed by the side of the three sisters, Peggy insisted for them to dance, taking Amelia’s and Eliza’s hand and bringing them to the dance floor with her. They all giggled as the three danced, a few soldiers joining in as well, one going to the brunette and bowed followed by her curtsying and smiled politely. And the dance soon began. @a-hamimagines

John watched from the side of the room. He knew he shouldn’t feel this out of anger and rage in his stomach. She had just stated she loved him… He watched carefully as the man danced with Ameila, making sure his hands stayed high enough and he didn’t pull her too close. At the end of the song he could see the man about to ask her to dance again when he swooped in. “Ameila, I think it’s my turn don’t you?” He said smiling to her but glaring at the man, who walked away obviously disappointed.

They danced, it was nothing out of the ordinary, though the whole time she watched John out of the corner of her eyes. Even from far away, she could tell the jealously boiling up in him which only made her smirk. As the song ended, John was right by her side before the man could ask for another dance, “of course,” she said with a soft smile and curtsied politely, watching him walk away. “Jealous are we, Mr. Laurens?” Amelia smirked and bit her bottom lip, looking into his eyes and watched his demeanor change yet again. @a-hamimagines

Once he had her close to him all jealousy simmered down. Until she mentioned it. “I-I uh…” His face flushed and he just put his head down in emberassment. He had no right to be jealous she wasn’t even officially his yet. THat would change soon. The song ended and before she could ask for another dance, “We should go for a walk, fresh air…” He would do anything at that point to get her alone.

She saw how he changed as she mentioned the jealousy and she kissed his cheek softly. A soft giggle escaped her lips and once the song ended, she was about speak before he beat her to it. “I’d like that.” Amelia said softly, glancing over at Herc and Alex to try to understand what was going on, “is everything alright, John?” She asked as the cold air hit her face, something completely different from the stuffy ballroom.

The nerves were eating him alive. But as he stepped out and took a breathe he realized he had nothing to worry about. “Everything’s fine.” He turned to Amelia and kissed her hand, he couldn’t stop having contact with her. “Amelia, you know I love you. I’d do anything in the world to prove it if you didn’t believe me. I need to know if you’d, let me court you?” The nerves were back. He hoped she’d say yes but there was always that chance… From inside Hercules and Alexander were watching. “Man, he better get that girl to be his or he’s gonna lose her.” Alexander muttered. “Nah man, she’s so into him. Trust me.”

She blushed as he kissed her hand, instant butterflies in her stomach. Her mouth nearly dropped as he gave that question and she smiled wide, nodding her head. “Yes.” Amelia said her smile still wide followed by a giggle. “Of course, I’ll let you court me.” She pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He sighed in relief when she said yes. Hugging her around the waist. “Ameila I’m going to make you so happy, I promise.” He said pulling back and once again telling himself screw it placing his lips on hers for what seemed like years.

“I believe you.” She said softly as she felt him pull back. Amelia couldn’t help but smile at him and it caused her heart to race, looking into his eyes. In a matter of seconds, his lips were against hers and she kissed him back, her hands placed on the sides of his cheeks.

He reluctantly pulled back remembering there public setting. “I’m glad you do. But I’m serious. Id do anything for you my love.” He kissed her forehead and continued to pepper her face with small innocent kisses finally pecking her lips again. “Do you want to go back inside or are you ready to head home?” He asked.

The brunette giggled as he kissed her face then smiled as he pecked her lips yet again. “I would like at least one more dance, but if you’d like to go home, I’m alright with that.” Amelia said with a kind smile and waited to see what he wanted to do. This was something she had to tell Herc and Peggy! They were her best friends after all and something like this was huge, there was almost a new glow to her.

Seeing her need to go talk to someone he agreed to “one more” dance. It turned into abot three before he even got to dance with her! From the second they walked in the schylers had swooped in and stolen her away leaving him with hamilsquad congratulating him.

She felt as if she was floating on cloud nine. Everything seemed like a dream and right as she entered the room, Peggy immediately knew something was up. All three of the sisters grabbed her and they talked and talked, giggling and awwing followed by Amelia continuously blushing and swooning. “He’s different from Henry and I think that’s why I’m so.. That’s why I like him so much.”

Watching Amelia blush at he sisters words he walked over and hugged her from behind placing his chin on her shoulder. “So my love, one more dance or are you ready to leave?” He kissed her cheek. He was okay with either but it was getting late and it had been a long day.

The young woman jumped as someone hugged her from behind, but when she saw it was John she relaxed. She placed her hand on his cheek and smiled softly, listening to him speak. It was obvious he was tired and she wasn’t going to fault him for that. “We can go whenever you’d like, my love.”

He looked at her smiling, “the carriage is outside.” He said squeezing her closer to him. He was exhausted and would enjoy some alone time with Amelia. He offered his arm and gave her a soft smile.

She took his arm and smiled at her friends, saying her goodbyes. Amelia walked out with John to the carriage as the rain began to come down harder, she picked up the bottom of her dress to avoid any of the mud. “This was a lovely night, John.” She said with a smile, kissing his cheek. “Thank you for coming with me.”

“Anything for you.” He said pulling her close to him. The carriage pulled up to her door and he walked her out. “I’m assuming this is goodnight.” He said as he kissed her hand and turned to leave.

She blushed as he kissed her hand, biting her lip slightly. “Laurens, would you like to come inside for a few minutes, I mean it is raining after all.” She chuckled, rocking back on her heels slightly. “Unless you’re tired, I mean I’m sure you’d like to go home and rest.” She said beginning to ramble on.

As cute as her rambling was he cut her off with a kiss. “I’d love to come inside miss Amelia.” He took her hand and led her inside her own home. Was it weird? Maybe. Did he card? Not at all. He pulled her close to him and started swaying. “We never got that last dance…”

She kissed him back and smiled, blushing. They walked inside the house, the door closing behind them, then she felt him pull him close. By this time she was sure that he could feel her heart pounding through her chest. Why was she so nervous around him? Was it just cause she was scared to screw up and lose him forever? Maybe. She giggled as he spoke and then smiled. “You’re right, we didn’t.” Amelia said, swaying side to side with him, one hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand.

He spun her around and laughed as she twirled. But when she got back to him he stopped and looked at her, still giggling form the spinning and realized how in love with this girl he was. She was so beautiful and kind and sweet and he wanted nothing more then to protect and love her.

She laughed as he spun her around and smiled, looking at him. He was looking in her eyes and it caused her heart to pound. “What?” She asked looking at him and smiled softly.

Shaken from his trance he smiled at her. “Nothing, just, you’re beautiful” he kissed her forehead. “ and you’re mine now.”

She blushed red and smiled, looking down to try and hide it. He was so sweet to her and treated her well. At least for now, Amelia fell so easily but she couldn’t help, you’d think a girl would learn. She sighed in contentment and smiled softly.

He tilted her head up to look at him. “Are you okay? I’m not moving to fast am I?” He suddenly became worried about the girl he’d fallen so fast for.

“No, no you’re fine.” She said seeing him become worried all of a sudden. “I was just thinking…” The woman trailed off then she took a deep breath, “I’m fine, I promise.” She said, kissing his cheek and walking to couch and sitting down, patting the seat next to her.

He was still concerned. He sat down next to her tilting her face to his again lightly kissing her lips. “Amelia, my love you can tell me anything. What’s on your mind?”

She kissed him back and then looked down once again. Should she tell him? No, it was too soon, but when then? She smiled at him, “Later.. I promise. Now just isn’t a good time.” The woman said, kissing his cheek and then reached over for a book. “This was one of my favorites when I was a child.” She chuckled and looked around the empty house, no sign of any family around.

He leaned to look over her shoulder, brushing off previous conversation. He could wait for it. “Tell me more about it, your childhood.” He said placing his chin on her shoulder and arms around her waist.

She chuckled and looked at him. “Are you sure? It has some pretty sad moments.” Amelia said, placing her hand on his cheek as his chin was in her shoulder. She felt safe when she was in her arms and that was something she hadn’t felt in a long time.

He chuckled. “Well if I’m going to Be with you basically forever I think I should know. Everyone has sad parts, the sooner I know about them the sooner I know how to make the rest of your life happy moments” he turned his head to kiss her cheek and any other part of her face he could.

She couldn’t help but giggle as he kissed her face. “Okay, okay.” She took in a deep breath, not knowing where to even start. “Well, my mother died when I was 11 years old and my father wasn’t around much. It was hard cause my mother was my best friend. And Let’s just say it wasn’t a very happy household after that causing my brother to leave us a few months later, so it was just me and my father in that house. I ran away when I was 19 and went down to Carolina and now I’m here, with you.” she smiled softly and took his hand, beginning to zone out as she stared at the wall, thinking of her past. Of course she left some things out but some of that she wasn’t ready to share yet with him.

He immediately held her closer, feeling the need to protect her. “I’m never going to leave you. I’m so glad you can trust me with these thing.” He pulled her onto his lap and started kissing the back of her neck gently. Letting her know that he was there for her.

When he pulled her onto his lap, she snapped out of it and smiled slightly as he kissed the back of her neck. “Thank you John..” She said softly, moving to look at him and kissed him. “I need someone like you to stay around.” She placed her hand on his cheek and pecked his lips again.

As she pecked him he pulled her closer deepening the kiss. He rested his hands on her waist and pulled back, “I’d be honored to stay around my love.”

She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. A moment later, they pulled away causing her to rest her forehead against his, she smiled hearing his words.

he kissed her cheeks. “ so you live here alone?” He didn’t like the thought of her being here alone everyday. He couldn’t stand to see her being lonely or unhappy.

She smiled as he kissed her cheek and then nodded. “Yeah, all by myself. I wake up alone, go to sleep alone.” She chuckled softly. “Mr. Schuyler was kind enough to let me rent this from him.”

He was shocked that such an amazing girl could live all alone. “Could you not love wth the schylers? I just, you live all alone?” This fact wouldn’t settle in him. He held her to him tighter.

“I was afraid if I lived with them, my father would find me even more easily.” She shrugged and chuckled softly. “I wanted to be on my own and that’s what I have.. But now I have you in my life and it makes my day just a little brighter.” She giggled as he held her tight, “now enough about me! What about you? What was your life like?”

He sighed, “pretty average. I grew up with my family and joined the revolution.” He sat there in thought. He had so much admiration for this girl he could just let her live alone constantly. Something had to be done…

When he spoke about the war, she immediately looked down. How could she forget he was a soldier? At any point in time, she could never see those bronze eyes again and that terrified her. “You are very noble to be joining such a brutal war.” She said, looking up at him with a soft smile.

“Please, I do it because it’s what we need. I’m more focused on equal rights but,” he shook his head. Finding equal rights wasn’t easy but he would do whatever it took. “But don’t worry to much about it.” He lifted her face and kissed her gently. “I’ll come back to you, I promise.”

She kissed him back and sighed. “You say not to worry, but that’s easier said then done.” She chuckled softly, placing her hand on his cheek. “I’ll always worry about you, John Laurens.” The clock striked two in the morning and she looked at him, beginning to get up from his lap with a smile. It was far later than she had assumed. “I’m sorry to keep you so long.” Amelia said softly but with a smile.

He got up quickly following her, “ you’ll never keep me too late. And everyday I’m gone I’ll think of you. I’ll of your beauty and how you’ll probably find a man better for you while I’m gone.” He ran and kissed her, putting as much love as he could into the kiss. “I love you Amelia, and if you wish me to go then so be it but I’m always willing to stay by your side.

“When do you leave?” She said afraid to even ask. What if he did get injured or worse! It scared the living daylights out of her thinking of all the what ifs. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I love you too, John and I’ll never ever find anyone else.”

“I leave in a week.” He was now coming to realization that he was leaving soon. “I don’t want to leave you my love.” He hugged her close to him leaving barely any space between them.

“A week? That’s so soon.” She mumbled the last part. When he pulled her into a hug, she hugged him tight. “I don’t want you to leave.” Amelia said softly into his ear, nuzzling into the crook of his neck.

He held her impossibly tighter. “I don’t want to go, but I also can’t let King George rule us like this…” He sighed kissing her head. “It’s been a long day, how about you get to sleep and I’ll sleep down stairs so you can wake up and I’ll be here. Does that sound okay?” He smiled at her. He didn’t want her to be alone but he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.

She pulled away from the hug, grabbed a book and then took his hand, leading him up the stairs. “I will not let you sleep on the couch, plus, I would much rather wake up with you beside me.” She smiled as they went up to her huge room, lighting candles to brighten it so they could see.

He followed her carefully. He was slightly shocked she would allow him in the same bed as her. “Ameila, you know I only have the purest of intentions with you? Right?”

“Of course, that’s why I’m allowing this. I know you wouldn’t ever hurt me or do anything that would make me uncomfortable.” She said, looking at him as she walked to her vanity and sat down, looking into the mirror.

He stood behind her hands on her shoulders. “You truly are beautiful ms. Amelia.” He was still in shock that she had accepted being his. His hands went around her shoulders in an awkward I’m taller behind you hug and kissed her cheek. “I love you.”

She blushed and looked down to try and hide it, though a smile still creeped onto her lips. As he put his hands on her shoulder, she placed one hand over his and looked up at him. “I love you too.” She said softly with a smile and pulled her hair into a bun. “You can lay down if you’d like. You don’t have to wait for me.” She chuckled softly, taking off her jewelry.

He unclipped her necklace placing it on the vanity. “Sweetheart, I want to take every possible second I can with you.” He kissed her hand seeing every piece of jewelry was off and led her to the bed. Unsure of what to do he waited for her to lay down.

She smiled and blushed yet again as his lips pressed to her knuckles. They went to her bed and she lied down, pulling him next to her. It wasn’t long until the exhaustion finally caught up to her and she fell asleep, her head on his chest.

To say he was tired was an understatement. He was grateful when she pulled him next to her and laid her head on his chest. He stroked her hair and kissed her head. “I’ll be here when you wake Amelia, I promise.” With that, his body stared shutting down, allowing the man some sleep.

Hours had passed and the sun slowly began to rise, causing Amelia to wake up and turn when she heard the faint snoring of the man laying next to her. She got out of bed quietly, trying not to wake him, got dressed, put on her mothers necklace and went downstairs. She sat on the porch drawing the land around them and watching the world wake up.

John woke gently going to pull Amelia closer to him, discovering it was only a pillow. He got up and put his shirt from yesterday on and wandered around try to find Amelia. When he can go the porch he stood watching. “I didn’t know ou drew.” He laughed when she jumped a bit, “ I’m sorry my love I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Oh shit!” She jumped as he spoke and then let out a chuckle. “Did I wake you up? I was trying to let you sleep a little longer.” Amelia smiled softly at him. She had been drawing the Hamilsquad for sometime now, ever since they all met several years ago.

“You didn’t wake me.” He looked over her shoulder at the sketch pad. “ that’s really good.” He motioned for her to get up and say in her chair, pulling her onto his lap.

“Thanks.” She chuckled softly, getting up, only to be pulled back into his lap. “Your drawings of turtles however have mine beat.” She giggled and looked at him, leaning her head back in his shoulder. As she did this however, the sketch pad fell off her lap and opened to a pair of eyes, Laurens eyes to be exact. By the time she realized this, she tried to quickly pick it up, beginning to blush.

He was in shock. There’s no way she could have done that drawing that morning, it was too accurate. “Amelia,” he said still in awe, “when did you draw that? It’s amazing!” He kissed her cheeks when he noticed them reddening.

“This morning, I got up about 2 hours ago.” She smiled at him as he kissed her cheek. “Thanks, love, but it’s not that amazing. I mean it’s only sketches.” She chuckled softly looking at it. “It’s just what I do in my free time.”

He looked at her drawing over her shoulder. “Amelia, these are amazing! I had no idea you could draw like this!” He carefully took the pad from her and started flipping through it himself.

“It’s really nothing, Laurens.” She chuckled and then watched him start to flip through it. “Oh don’t-” she cut herself off, unsure of what he was going to say about the drawings of, him, Alex, Herc, and Laf.

He was staring in awe. They were amazing. “Amelia…” He had no words because they were so beautiful.

“What?” She asked as she waited for him to say something else. “They’re just doodles, I do them when I’m bored. They’re kind of like memories I guess.” She chuckled and looked down at the pencil in her hand.

“They’re, wow. They’re amazing! Can you do more? Wait wait, can you draw us?” He had so many ideas now. He wanted to spend all his time with her, and if he could find something she enjoyed doing he’d do it too.

She laughed softly and shrugged. “Sure” she smiled at him, seeing how in awe he was which only made her laugh more. “But first, I think you should enjoy this beautiful day.” Amelia stood up and pecked his lips, only to hear voice behind them of their friends.

John sighed when he heard them. Ofcourse he loved his friends but he wanted to spend some time with Amelia. “JOHHHHHN” Alex was yelling, Ofcourse. Herc and Lafayette were just smirking at the sight before them. Shaking his head and hiding it in Amelia’s shoulder he sighed. “Noooooo”

She chuckled as she heard the familiar voice of Alexander Hamilton. “Their timing is impeccable.” She giggled and stood up straight, turning to look at all them. “You all are up early today.” Amelia smiled, glancing over her shoulder at John then from Herc to Lafayette then to Hamilton.

John groaned and made grabby hands as Amelia got off of him. Of course they showed up now. “Morning guys.” He was still running the sleep or of his eyes

She giggled as John wined for her to sit back. “What are you going doing here?” The woman asked, leaning against one of the pillars on the porch. “I didn’t expect to see any of you today actually.”

John was now pouting. Hercules was just smirking. “Well Amelia,” Alexander started. “ we wanted to make sure you had a good time last night, Herc said you were nervous. But we can see you got home alright, John? Did you uh, get home?” John face went beet red. “Well, we, just, it wasn’t,” he couldn’t form proper words and just turned red and put his head down.

“Aren’t you all the sweetest. Last night was lovely though.” She said with a chuckle and then glanced over at John noticing him becoming red. “I’ll go make some tea while you all talk.” The brunette said as she turned to walk inside, but stopped in the doorway. “Please come in, make yourselves at home.” With that she disappeared inside the house to make them all tea.

As soon as she was gone he glared at his friends. “ nothing happened last night.. Don’t ty to make her out like that.” “Mon Amie! We would never.” Lafayette let out while nudging him as he walked inside. “As long as you’re treating her right I could care less.” Herc said as he walked inside and Hamilton just smirked. He followed them inside still red. how could they assume such things about such a perfect girl?

Amelia tried not to ease drop as the men were talking amongst each other. She walked out into the living room, setting down milk and sugar along with saucers with teacups on top, then retreated back to the kitchen. After a few minutes she came out with a kettle and poured tea in each of the cups before taking a seat across from Alexander, John on the far side from her. “So, what are we all talking about?” She asked looking at them all before her eyes landed on John.

“Well dear you and Joh-” Lafayette started. “Drawings! We were talking about my latest ones, that you saw me, draw, by the pond, where I, fell.” He became beet red again not being able to look any of them in the eye.

She directed her attention from Lafayette to John as he quickly cut them off. “Oh.” She said simply and chuckled softly. “Alright then.” The woman was just about to sit when she realized she didn’t put food out. “Oh excuse more for one second.” She said getting up again and going into the kitchen for a second time.

John smacked Laf on he back of the head. “I told you not to say anything about that. I don’t want her to think that’s why I’m with her come on.” He quietly scolded. “I was kidding!” Laf said as he patted the back of his head.

“Kidding about what?” She asked as she walked in with a tray of cookies and set them in the middle of the table. “Now I’m starting to become nervous of what you all are talking about.” She laughed softly and glanced over at John then smiled, sitting down once again.

He sat back down. “Dear it’s really nothing the boys are just, being boys…” He didn’t want to upset her but he didn’t want her to think of him like that. What if she left him for it? What if she said she didn’t love him. “We were joking that you two slept together last night is all.” Laf said. John shot up. “Out. ” he pointed at the door.

She was just about to sip her tea as Lafayette spoke causing her to freeze and let out a chuckle. “Marquis de Lafayette I’m surprised you would take me to be one of those girls.” Amelia let out another chuckle and took a sip of her tea, “but, I did let John stay over. It was far too late out last night for him to be walking home, plus with all the red coats around, I didn’t want to risk anything happening with him.” She said telling the truth but not the full extent exactly.

John was still fuming. And pointing at the door. “Look, it’s the door. You should go through it.” He was glaring at his friends. He couldn’t believe he said that. He walked over to Amelia and wrapped an arm around her shoulders as his friends left. “I’m so sorry. So so so so so so so so sorry.”

As they departed from the house, she turned to look at him. “Such temper.” She giggled softly and looked at him, poking his nose lightly before taking the kettle and putting in the kitchen to clean. “Why did you get so upset, love? We both know it wasn’t true what they were saying and it doesn’t bother me, if that’s what they want to think, let them think that.” She said simply and walked back the to living room to grab cups and spoons and any other dish that was still in there.

He was in shock that she was so calm about this. “I just.” He laughed when she booped his nose and looked down. “Amelia, I just told them you weren’t like that and I don’t want them even joking like that!”

It was obvious he was worked up about this whole thing and she lifted his chin up so he’d look at her. “Boys will be boys, but you are more of a gentleman than anyone in New York City.” She smiled and kissed him softly, wrapping her arms around his torso and hugging him.

He pulled her close to deepen the kiss. “And you are the best woman in all of he world.” He kissed her again. There was a knock at the door, “Can we come back in now?”

She smiled against his lips as he kissed her again and then heard the knock followed by a voice. Amelia couldn’t help but chuckle and pulled away to open the door. “Come on in.” She chuckled and looked over at John, winking at him with a flirty smirk.

He pulled her close to his chest. “If they say anything, I’m kicking them out again.” He whispered in her ear. Slightly smiling at his friends. “ did you guys learn your lesson?” He joked.

“And what if I say anything?” She smirked and walked towards the kitchen, setting out cookies again. “A dear friend of mine made these and I simply can not eat them all by myself, so please help yourself.” She asked, sitting down between Alex and Lafayette.

Before she could sit he pulled her into him. Kissing her cheek. “You’re so feisty today, I love it.” He whispered. “What are you two doing?” Alexander smirked and John blushed.

She giggled softly hearing him, feeling him kiss her cheek. The young woman looked up at Alexander and chuckled, “oh nothing.” She said trying to hide a blush that was forming on her cheeks.

John hid his face in her neck. He mumbled something about him needing to shut up. “Amelia! These cookies are amazing!” Laf said mouth full of cookie.

She chuckled softly and pat John’s head then looked at Laf. “I’ll tell my friend that you love them.” Amelia laughed and then sat down again, looking at all her friends.

John sat down across from her. Giving her a look. “So guys, what’s the plan for today?” He asked. “We were gonna go hang out, get some drinks. But if you’re busy…” Herc smirked at him.

Hearing Herc caused Amelia to blush even redder and chuckled softly. “Drinks sound fun.” She chuckled again to fill the silence that soon came. “When do we all want to go? I mean, I’ll have to change first.”

“We could go after this if you’re okay with that.” Herc said, trying to keep on topic. “Unless you’re going to be busy.” Laf insisted again. John just rolled his eyes. “After this works for me. Amelia?”

“Sounds perfect! Alex?” She asked not hearing from the man who usually talks non-stop. The woman got up from her seat and walked upstairs to put on a different dress.

Johns eyes followed her up the stairs. “Damn you’ve got t bad for her.” John blushes and looked down at Herc comment. “Yeah yeah. Tease all you want.” He didn’t care she was his that’s all the mattered.

For being alone for years, she had gotten increasing better of doing things on her own. She tightened her corset on her own then placed a deep red long sleeve dress on. After a few minutes she came back downstairs, her mother’s necklace around her neck. “Ready?” She asked the men who were all looking at her, “what?” She asked confused.

Johns face went red yet again. “Amelia…” He had no words to describe how beautiful she was to him. “We’re uh, going to get there early, join us whenever guys.” Alex said as he ushered the group out winking at the couple before he left. John was left sitting in shock staring at Amelia.

“Alright.” She said as Alex pushed them all out of the house. “If you keep your mouth open like that, you’ll catch flies.” She smirked and kissed his cheek.

He shot up from his chair and pulled her close to him. “Amelia… You look…. Jeez…” He had no words to describe her.

She giggled, her hand on her chest as he pulled her close. “Having trouble forming sentences?” She smirked and looked at him with another giggle. “Come on, we’re gonna miss the guys.”

He smirked at her, “I mean, they said we could be late…” He pulled her close to him. “And I love his dress on you…” He kissed her cheeks.

“Do you now?” She giggled as he pulled her close, “it’s was a gift.” She smiled and looked up at him, letting out a soft giggle.

He stared in her. Afraid of doing anything thinking he might wake himself from a dream. This girl was everything he could’ve ever wanted and she was his!

She looked back at him and giggled. “Like I said John, gonna catch flies.” The woman smirked and closed his mouth with a wink. “Now come on.” She laughed and walked towards the door.

He grabbed her wrist pulling her towards him. “I think it’s been too long since I’ve done this dear.” He pressed his lips into hers pulling her impossibly closer to him.

She was surprised when he grabbed her but then his lips crashed on hers and she couldn’t help but kiss him back. Amelia wrapped her arms around his neck, running her fingers through his hair.

He put his hands on her waist holding her to him. He wasn’t letting go for awhile….

She pulled away and smiled, pecking his lips. “They’re expecting us, John.” She giggled, pecking his lips again.

His hands weren’t leaving her hips. “I know, I know. But we were having such a good time before…. I mean, we could just ditch them. Go to the pond. Then we could sketch and cuddle?” He honestly just wanted sometime alone with Amelia before he had to leave, but he wouldn’t pressure her into it.

She giggled at him wanting to spend time with her. “Okay okay, how about one drink and then you get me for the rest of the night? Tops 3 drinks.” She smirked and laughed looking up at him.

He sighed, “if you really want to go… As long as you promise we’ll get some alone time?” He was really hopeful she’s just change her mind. But she was the boss.

“Oh thank you, John!” She said excited and pecked his lips again. Amelia excitedly took his hand and walked to the door walking out.

John slowly trudged behind. His face lighting up all of a sudden… He had a plan. And it was good.

Amelia’s hair was pulled back on both sides to keep it out of her face but still down. She smiled, looking over her shoulder and him and winked. “Come on Mr. Laurens!”

He laughed running up to her. Wrapping an arm around her waist. “I’m comin don’t you even worry.”

“Ah!” She laughed and giggled as his arms were around her waist. After a few minutes of walking they finally go to the pub and she walked inside to see the rest of Hamilsquad sitting at their usual table.

John practically dragged her over to them, ordering a beer as he did so. “John… You look up to no good.” Alexander commented. “I haven’t the slightest clue what you’re speaking about.” He said smirking as his beer arrived.

Amelia ordered a beer and glanced over at Alex hearing his comment and then looked over at John, raising an eyebrow. “So, are you all leaving Sunday?” She asked looking at their friends.

The group looked down. “Sadly.” Alex stated the rest nodding. “But! We are all here now non? We should focus on now!” Lafayette said. The barmaid gave the two their beers and johns was gone in seconds. He was now constantly glancing at Amelia seeing if she was done yet.

Amelia easily finished hers and then looked over at John. “What?” She laughed and looked at him with a smirk.

When he saw that her drink was gone he stood up, walked over to Amelia and lifted her out of her chair bridal style and carried her out of the bar. “Okay guys, I’m gonna go spend sometime with Amelia, bye.” The group was laughed to hard to respond.

She had not expected to be picked up when all of a sudden she couldn’t feel the ground anymore. “Oh shit!” She jumped as he picked her up and the laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Very smooth John Laurens.” She smirked and kissed his cheek.

He laughed as she kissed him. “Always ma dear.” He walked with her in his arms until they got back to her house. He stopped kissing her cheek before putting her down.

She got down from him and looked up at him with a smile. “Is that drawing and cuddling still an option?” She giggled softly and looked up at him with a smirk.

He nodded estatically. “Ofcourse!” He ran inside getting her sketch book and handing it to her.

She couldn’t help but laugh at his enthusiasm and called to him while he was inside. “Bring the blanket on the couch too!”

He grabbed the blanket with one arm and help her hand with the other as they walked to the pond. “I’m sorry about earlier” he realized that literally carrying her out wasn’t the best idea

She laughed as he spoke and smiled as they continued to walk. “It’s okay, it was unexpected.” She laughed again

He blushed thinking about it. “I was kind of desperate to get you alone…” He set the blanket out and sat down.

“I could tell.” She giggled and looked up at him. She thought it was cute how he wanted to spend his last couple of days with her and she wouldn’t want it any other way. Amelia sat on the blanket next to him and leaned her head against his shoulder.

He put his arm around her shoulders setting his head on hers. “I love you.” He said. Pulling. Her close to him handing her the sketch pad.

She looked up at him and smiled as he spoke. “I love you too.” Amelia said softly, taking the sketchbook and looked at the blank paper, thinking.

He looked out at the pond. “Hey,” he pointed to a turtle sitting on a rock. “Look how cute it is”

He was in love with turtles and it made her giggle because he just lit up when he saw one. That’s when she began to sketch Laurens looking at the turtle.

He was still staring at the small creature. Entranced by its small nature and shell. When he noticed she was sketching he tried to stay still so she could capture it perfectly.

She giggled as he tried so hard to stay still. Soon she was done with the sketch and then began to fill in with more detail.

He looked back at her. “Can I move now?” He joked still staring at the turtle.

“Mhmm.” She said continuing to sketch out the designs of his coat. The young woman finished a little bit later and then stretched, stiff from the position she was in while drawing. “And.. Done.” she said adding one last final touch to the paper.

He moved over to her losing interest in the turtle. He looked over her shoulder at the drawing. “It still amazes me how good you are at drawing.” He said kissing her cheek circling his arms around her waist. He pulled back with a sparkle in his eye.

She looked over at him as her eyebrow raised. “I see that twinkle in your eye, what are you think?” She asked looking at him suspiciously.

He smirked and stared tickling her sides. “You just look so so ticklable!”

“Laurens, don’t.” She said looking at him but it was too late. “No!!” The woman laughed hard as he tickled her sides, quickly trying to get up.

He pushed her down before she could get up quickly ending on top of her laying down. “Mmm. I think I’m going to sleep goodnight.” And fake snored as he lay on top of Amelia.

She laughed as he pulled her down and then laid on top of her. “John you’re crushing me.” Amelia laughed and patted his hair as he kept laying on her. They were getting closer to the time that John was leaving and it was getting harder to say goodbye to him.

He slightly lifted himself up. Peppering her face with kisses. “Shhhh I’m sleeeeeping.”

She giggled and kissed his lip. After a moment, she pulled away slightly and looked into his eyes. “I love you, Laurens.”

He propped himself up onto his elbows. “I love you too Amelia. I love you so much.” He peppered her neck with kisses.

“John, I’m serious!” She giggled as he kissed her face. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.” The woman said seriously, looking into his eyes, taking his hand in hers.

He was now propping himself up using only one hand. “Amelia so am I. I don’t know what id do without you, or if you find someone better while I’m gone.” He was so scared she’d find someone else while he was at war. He stares into her eyes and kissed her. He put as much love as he could into the kiss, squeezing the hand she was holding.

“I will /never/ find anyone else.” She said softly, and kissed him, her other hand touching his cheek. She did love him, more than anyone else in the world.

He sat up pulling her onto him. He kissed her face saying I love you I between every kiss. “I never want you to forget…”

She smiled against his lips as they kissed and she pulled away long enough to speak. “I can never forget you, John.” Amelia said softly, lying her head on his chest.

He held her as close as he could kissing her head. “Can I see the drawing? The one you just did?”

“Nope.” She smirked and winked. “Later, I promise.” The woman said and giggled softly, wrapping her arms around his torso, listening to his heart beat.

He sighed. “Have you ever considered drawing yourself?” He asked, slightly nervous.

She thought for a second and then shook her head. “I hadn’t ever had the urge to draw myself actually. I always drew people around me or how I saw the world.” Amelia reached over and picked up her sketchbook, flipping to a page that had Laurens, Herc, Lafayette, and Hamilton all in the pub, all of them looked so happy to all be together. She handed him the sketchbook, allowing him to look at the picture.

He scanned the picture, smiling remembering the day. “Would you mind…” He trailed off. He couldn’t ask her it would be weird, she’d think of him differently or not want him anymore. He continued looking at the picture pretending he had nothing to say.

“You can look through them if you’d like.” She said allowing him to look at the pictures, “all except the one I just drew.”

He slowly flipped through them. Still not talking. He couldn’t believe he had almost asked her that. How could he have messed up so badly? When he got to the picture of his eyes he stopped studying it.

She watched him as he flipped through the pages. He stopped on the page with his eyes and just as he studied the picture, Amelia studied him, waiting for a reaction. “That was the first time we met. I couldn’t get those eyes out of my head.”

He was keeping his head down to hide he blush from his cheeks. He was so emberassed about what happened but he couldn’t stop thinking about that question… He kind of just nodded as he realized he had zoned out on her.

He seemed off, like he wanted to ask her something by either didn’t know how to ask or too afraid too. The woman fell silent as she relaxed her head on his chest again.

John was still silently flipping through the book, admiring her amazing work. He was coming close to the end and tried sneaking a look at her newest master piece.

“And that’s the end.” She said, taking away the notepad from him before he could see her latest drawing, with a smirk.

He lightly laughed placing his face on her shoulder. He sighed pulling her into him. He didn’t want this to end…

She soon started to fall asleep in his arms, unable to watch the stars any longer. She yawned softly, cuddling into him.

He noticed her drifting off. He secured one hand around her legs and one around her waist and lifted her up. He started walking back to her house as carefully as he could.

She woke up slightly, looking around confused. “What are you doing?” The woman asked softly, partly awake.

He looked at her smiling. “I’m taking you home, there’s no way I’m letting you sleep in a park.” He somehow opened her door and laid her down on the bed. He kissed her forehead and started to leave.

“Mhmm.” She said softly, trying to stay awake but reached for his hand. “Are you leaving?” She asked, looking up at him with a yawn.

He ran a hand through his hair sighing. “I have to sweetheart, the guys are already being dicks and plus, I think wearing these clothes another day in a row might not be the best idea…” Ofcourse he wanted to stay with her but he could do for a new change of clothes…

She yawned, nodding as she was too tired to argue with him. It had been 2 days straight that he hadn’t been home. “Okay. I love you.” She said with a soft smile.

He smiled and kissed her head again. “I love you too.. Sorry I have to leave.” He felt beyond guilty having to leave her but he had to get new clothes. Realizing she was asleep he quietly left to go get some rest himself.

“No it’s okay, go get,” she yawned in the middle of the sentence, “get some rest.” With that she fell asleep, not even bothering to change out of her day clothes nor did she hear Laurens leave.

By the time laurens got home he was ready to pass out and to be Honest, that’s what he did.

The sun began to rise, shining in her eyes. She groaned in protest and put the pillow over her head to block out the sun shine.

John had gotten up early, much to his body’s complaints. He was at Amelia’s door sketch pad in hand. He knocked on the door hoping he wasn’t waking her up.

“Grace, can you get that?” She called down to her maid, who she rarely ever used. The woman walked to the door and opened it, allowing Laurens to come in. “Ms. Mikaelson, Mr. Laurens is here.” She called and Amelia looked up from the mirror, “I’ll be right down!” She called, trying to finish getting ready. “Grace, please come up here.” Amelia asked and soon the middle aged woman walked up to her room, helping her get ready by tying her corset and helping her into a light blue dress.

John awkwardly sat on the couch. He had thanked the lady for letting him in. He started going through his sketch book thinking about what he was going to do.

She quickly pulled the sides of her hair into twists then put it into a low bun. “Good morning, John.” The woman said as she descended from the staircase.

He shot up off the couch going and kissing her hand. “Good morning Amelia.” Noticing her maid at the top of the stairs he was being very careful to be gentlemen like

She curtsied politely as he kissed her hand and she smiled. “Where shall we go today?” The woman asked, looking at him, the smile still on her lips.

He offered his arm to her. “I figured we’d go on a nice walk?”

“Sounds lovely.” She said, taking his arm as she glanced over at his own sketchbook. “Grace, please give Mr. Schuyler my regards when you visit today.” Amelia asked nicely and the maid nodded.

He walked her to a park, one with an actual bench serifs as they’ve been on the ground the past two days. “Amelia… I… Iwanttodrawyou.” He spoke far too quickly nerves getting the best of him.

The two of them walked to a park, Amelia looking around as they went. When he spoke she looked at him and chuckled softly at how nervous he was. “If you really want.” She giggled and looked at him, holding his hand.

“I just, I want to have something for while I’m gone.” He sighed

She nodded and looked at him, noticing his demeanor changed. “Hey, you’ll come back to me. And everything will be fine.” She smiled at him and pecked his lips.

He smiled as she kissed him. “But I can still draw you right?”

“Sure.” She giggled softly as she looked over at the pond. “Where did you want to do it?” She asked, looking around the park.

He looked around, spotting a swing. “Can you go sit there?” He smiled as he kissed her cheeks

She glanced over to see the swing that was tied up in a tree. “Mhm.” She said softly and walked over, sitting on it. “Like this?”

He smiled sitting down starting the base. “Perfect. You’re beautiful.”

She giggled at his charm and shook her head. “Oh please, don’t even start that.” She laughed, smiling at him.

He looked up at her stopping immediately, “start what?”

“Never mind.” She giggled softly and sat on the swing, looking to the side as people passed them.

N tried to shrug it off and continue drawing. Until he stopped. “Amelia, do you not think you’re beautiful?”

She didn’t say anything at first and just looked down. “I don’t know..” Amelia said and then looked up at him and chuckled softly. “What defines beauty anyways? To everyone it has a different meaning.”

He looked at her and went back to his drawing. “I won’t fight with you… But I think you’re beautiful.” He stood up putting his sketch pad down. He walked over and put his hands on either of the chains of the swing leaning down and kissing her. As he pulled back he whispered, “you’re perfect to me.” And he sat back down and went to drawing her again.

She blushed as he spoke but then watched him get up and walk over to her. She kissed him back softly, biting her lip with a giggle as he pulled away and went to go sit back down

He smirked starting to shade in her dress.

When Amelia was around John, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmingly happy. She smiled a hell of a lot more than before and it was obvious he was treating her the way every woman wanted to be treated by someone.

As he finished the last details of her face he looked up to see her smiling. “Are you alright?” He smirked at her.

“Amazing.” She said simply with a smirk, winking at him. “So can I see it?” The woman asked with a smile as she got up from the swing and walked over.

He closed his sketch book. “Can I see the one of me?” He hid his book behind his back.

“John that isn’t fair.” She laughed, trying to grab the notebook from him. “Oh come on please!” She said still attempting to take the drawing.

He held it above her head, “how is it unfair my love?”

“It just is!” She laughed, trying to reach it, but lost her balance and fell into him.

He caught her with the hand not holding the sketch pad and stumbled backwards. He smiled down at her, “did you enjoy your trip?”

“Ha ha very funny.” She chuckled and pecked his lips before getting up and brushing off her dress.

He kept his arm around her waist leaning in and kissing her. “I think you fell for me there” he said winking

She kissed him back when he pulled her back down. “Wrong.” She smirked looking at him, “I fell for you long before now.”

He started blushing. “I- I.. It… Ha…” His face was the color of a tomato

She laughed as he blushed so red. “Gotcha.” The woman kissed his lips and quickly got up.

He got up after her. “Amelia. If I show you the drawing, will you show me yours? I mean it’s only fair…”

“I will at dinner tonight.” She said with a smile and kissed his cheek. “I’m inviting everyone over for dinner, so you need to be on your best behavior tonight.” she said but then her smile faded. “Wait! What time is it? I was supposed to meet Eliza for shopping!”

He groaned, “do we have to have everyone?” He pulled her close to him “it could be just us… Also I think it’s a little past six.” He said checking where the sun was.

“Oh I’m so late!” She said and looked up at him. “It’ll be fun I promise.” The woman said with a smile and kissed his cheek. “Be at my house around 8.” With that she picked up the bottom of her dress and quickly went to the dress store, where Mulligan’s apprenticeship was.

He groaned as she left laying down in the grass. “I love you.” He yelled out after her.

“I love you too!” She called back before she got to far. The young woman walked into the store and looked around briefly, not seeing Eliza but spotted Mulligan. “Hey Herc.” Amelia said with a smile.

“There she is! We were starting to get worried that Laurens has kid napped you” he laughed remembering the event from the day before.

She chuckled and shook her head. “Nope, just spending some quality time before you guys go. Speaking of, you aren’t doing anything tonight right? I was going to invite everyone over for dinner.”

“I didn’t have plans.” He smiled at her thoughtfulness. “I’ll be honored to show up as long as Laurens doesn’t hog you the whole night” he joked as he nudged her.

“Better take that up with him.” She smirked and chuckled. “He means well though.” Amelia said and smiled, “what are you doing here anyways? I thought you quit your apprenticeship.”

He laughed, "Yeah... I had to grab a few things. And don't worry. I'll let Laurens know he can't have you ALL the time" he said cracking his knuckles.

Jealous?

The love that Amelia had for John Laurens was something no one could ever compare too. As the night continued, so did the ball and the dancing. The young woman had left his side to go speak with the famous Schuyler sisters which she had been friends with since she was young. They laughed and gossiped, drinking away the night, Amelia occasionally catching the gaze of Mr. John Laurens, only causing her to send a wink. As she stayed by the side of the three sisters, Peggy insisted for them to dance, taking Amelia’s and Eliza’s hand and bringing them to the dance floor with her. They all giggled as the three danced, a few soldiers joining in as well, one going to the brunette and bowed followed by her curtsying and smiled politely. And the dance soon began. @a-hamimagines

John watched from the side of the room. He knew he shouldn’t feel this out of anger and rage in his stomach. She had just stated she loved him… He watched carefully as the man danced with Ameila, making sure his hands stayed high enough and he didn’t pull her too close. At the end of the song he could see the man about to ask her to dance again when he swooped in. “Ameila, I think it’s my turn don’t you?” He said smiling to her but glaring at the man, who walked away obviously disappointed.

They danced, it was nothing out of the ordinary, though the whole time she watched John out of the corner of her eyes. Even from far away, she could tell the jealously boiling up in him which only made her smirk. As the song ended, John was right by her side before the man could ask for another dance, “of course,” she said with a soft smile and curtsied politely, watching him walk away. “Jealous are we, Mr. Laurens?” Amelia smirked and bit her bottom lip, looking into his eyes and watched his demeanor change yet again. @a-hamimagines

Once he had her close to him all jealousy simmered down. Until she mentioned it. “I-I uh…” His face flushed and he just put his head down in emberassment. He had no right to be jealous she wasn’t even officially his yet. THat would change soon. The song ended and before she could ask for another dance, “We should go for a walk, fresh air…” He would do anything at that point to get her alone.

She saw how he changed as she mentioned the jealousy and she kissed his cheek softly. A soft giggle escaped her lips and once the song ended, she was about speak before he beat her to it. “I’d like that.” Amelia said softly, glancing over at Herc and Alex to try to understand what was going on, “is everything alright, John?” She asked as the cold air hit her face, something completely different from the stuffy ballroom.

The nerves were eating him alive. But as he stepped out and took a breathe he realized he had nothing to worry about. “Everything’s fine.” He turned to Amelia and kissed her hand, he couldn’t stop having contact with her. “Amelia, you know I love you. I’d do anything in the world to prove it if you didn’t believe me. I need to know if you’d, let me court you?” The nerves were back. He hoped she’d say yes but there was always that chance… From inside Hercules and Alexander were watching. “Man, he better get that girl to be his or he’s gonna lose her.” Alexander muttered. “Nah man, she’s so into him. Trust me.”

She blushed as he kissed her hand, instant butterflies in her stomach. Her mouth nearly dropped as he gave that question and she smiled wide, nodding her head. “Yes.” Amelia said her smile still wide followed by a giggle. “Of course, I’ll let you court me.” She pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He sighed in relief when she said yes. Hugging her around the waist. “Ameila I’m going to make you so happy, I promise.” He said pulling back and once again telling himself screw it placing his lips on hers for what seemed like years.

“I believe you.” She said softly as she felt him pull back. Amelia couldn’t help but smile at him and it caused her heart to race, looking into his eyes. In a matter of seconds, his lips were against hers and she kissed him back, her hands placed on the sides of his cheeks.

He reluctantly pulled back remembering there public setting. “I’m glad you do. But I’m serious. Id do anything for you my love.” He kissed her forehead and continued to pepper her face with small innocent kisses finally pecking her lips again. “Do you want to go back inside or are you ready to head home?” He asked.

The brunette giggled as he kissed her face then smiled as he pecked her lips yet again. “I would like at least one more dance, but if you’d like to go home, I’m alright with that.” Amelia said with a kind smile and waited to see what he wanted to do. This was something she had to tell Herc and Peggy! They were her best friends after all and something like this was huge, there was almost a new glow to her.

Seeing her need to go talk to someone he agreed to “one more” dance. It turned into abot three before he even got to dance with her! From the second they walked in the schylers had swooped in and stolen her away leaving him with hamilsquad congratulating him.

She felt as if she was floating on cloud nine. Everything seemed like a dream and right as she entered the room, Peggy immediately knew something was up. All three of the sisters grabbed her and they talked and talked, giggling and awwing followed by Amelia continuously blushing and swooning. “He’s different from Henry and I think that’s why I’m so.. That’s why I like him so much.”

Watching Amelia blush at he sisters words he walked over and hugged her from behind placing his chin on her shoulder. “So my love, one more dance or are you ready to leave?” He kissed her cheek. He was okay with either but it was getting late and it had been a long day.

The young woman jumped as someone hugged her from behind, but when she saw it was John she relaxed. She placed her hand on his cheek and smiled softly, listening to him speak. It was obvious he was tired and she wasn’t going to fault him for that. “We can go whenever you’d like, my love.”

He looked at her smiling, “the carriage is outside.” He said squeezing her closer to him. He was exhausted and would enjoy some alone time with Amelia. He offered his arm and gave her a soft smile.

She took his arm and smiled at her friends, saying her goodbyes. Amelia walked out with John to the carriage as the rain began to come down harder, she picked up the bottom of her dress to avoid any of the mud. “This was a lovely night, John.” She said with a smile, kissing his cheek. “Thank you for coming with me.”

“Anything for you.” He said pulling her close to him. The carriage pulled up to her door and he walked her out. “I’m assuming this is goodnight.” He said as he kissed her hand and turned to leave.

She blushed as he kissed her hand, biting her lip slightly. “Laurens, would you like to come inside for a few minutes, I mean it is raining after all.” She chuckled, rocking back on her heels slightly. “Unless you’re tired, I mean I’m sure you’d like to go home and rest.” She said beginning to ramble on.

As cute as her rambling was he cut her off with a kiss. “I’d love to come inside miss Amelia.” He took her hand and led her inside her own home. Was it weird? Maybe. Did he card? Not at all. He pulled her close to him and started swaying. “We never got that last dance…”

She kissed him back and smiled, blushing. They walked inside the house, the door closing behind them, then she felt him pull him close. By this time she was sure that he could feel her heart pounding through her chest. Why was she so nervous around him? Was it just cause she was scared to screw up and lose him forever? Maybe. She giggled as he spoke and then smiled. “You’re right, we didn’t.” Amelia said, swaying side to side with him, one hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand.

He spun her around and laughed as she twirled. But when she got back to him he stopped and looked at her, still giggling form the spinning and realized how in love with this girl he was. She was so beautiful and kind and sweet and he wanted nothing more then to protect and love her.

She laughed as he spun her around and smiled, looking at him. He was looking in her eyes and it caused her heart to pound. “What?” She asked looking at him and smiled softly.

Shaken from his trance he smiled at her. “Nothing, just, you’re beautiful” he kissed her forehead. “ and you’re mine now.”

She blushed red and smiled, looking down to try and hide it. He was so sweet to her and treated her well. At least for now, Amelia fell so easily but she couldn’t help, you’d think a girl would learn. She sighed in contentment and smiled softly.

He tilted her head up to look at him. “Are you okay? I’m not moving to fast am I?” He suddenly became worried about the girl he’d fallen so fast for.

“No, no you’re fine.” She said seeing him become worried all of a sudden. “I was just thinking…” The woman trailed off then she took a deep breath, “I’m fine, I promise.” She said, kissing his cheek and walking to couch and sitting down, patting the seat next to her.

He was still concerned. He sat down next to her tilting her face to his again lightly kissing her lips. “Amelia, my love you can tell me anything. What’s on your mind?”

She kissed him back and then looked down once again. Should she tell him? No, it was too soon, but when then? She smiled at him, “Later.. I promise. Now just isn’t a good time.” The woman said, kissing his cheek and then reached over for a book. “This was one of my favorites when I was a child.” She chuckled and looked around the empty house, no sign of any family around.

He leaned to look over her shoulder, brushing off previous conversation. He could wait for it. “Tell me more about it, your childhood.” He said placing his chin on her shoulder and arms around her waist.

She chuckled and looked at him. “Are you sure? It has some pretty sad moments.” Amelia said, placing her hand on his cheek as his chin was in her shoulder. She felt safe when she was in her arms and that was something she hadn’t felt in a long time.

He chuckled. “Well if I’m going to Be with you basically forever I think I should know. Everyone has sad parts, the sooner I know about them the sooner I know how to make the rest of your life happy moments” he turned his head to kiss her cheek and any other part of her face he could.

She couldn’t help but giggle as he kissed her face. “Okay, okay.” She took in a deep breath, not knowing where to even start. “Well, my mother died when I was 11 years old and my father wasn’t around much. It was hard cause my mother was my best friend. And Let’s just say it wasn’t a very happy household after that causing my brother to leave us a few months later, so it was just me and my father in that house. I ran away when I was 19 and went down to Carolina and now I’m here, with you.” she smiled softly and took his hand, beginning to zone out as she stared at the wall, thinking of her past. Of course she left some things out but some of that she wasn’t ready to share yet with him.

He immediately held her closer, feeling the need to protect her. “I’m never going to leave you. I’m so glad you can trust me with these thing.” He pulled her onto his lap and started kissing the back of her neck gently. Letting her know that he was there for her.

When he pulled her onto his lap, she snapped out of it and smiled slightly as he kissed the back of her neck. “Thank you John..” She said softly, moving to look at him and kissed him. “I need someone like you to stay around.” She placed her hand on his cheek and pecked his lips again.

As she pecked him he pulled her closer deepening the kiss. He rested his hands on her waist and pulled back, “I’d be honored to stay around my love.”

She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. A moment later, they pulled away causing her to rest her forehead against his, she smiled hearing his words.

he kissed her cheeks. “ so you live here alone?” He didn’t like the thought of her being here alone everyday. He couldn’t stand to see her being lonely or unhappy.
