Always You (31 page)

"Listen don't worry about it, oh and Sissy by the way I'll forgive you for drooling." I said smiling wickedly.

"Drooling? What are you talking about?" she asked confused.

I turned around, "Clay babe, come meet our new neighbors." I shouted.

"Yeah alright Riley bear, I'll be right out." he called. I could hear him shutting the closet door so I stepped back so she could get full view of my sexy ass husband as he walked down the hallway.

I watched Sissy's face, grinning wickedly. I knew the exact moment she laid eyes on Clay as her face turned from confusion to hunger in a matter of seconds. She flicked her eyes to me then back to Clay, taking in all his shirtless, low slung jeans glory.

He wrapped his arms around me "Hey guys, how you doing?" he asked sticking his hand out.

"Hey man, good to meet ya, I'm Craig, this is Kane and Sissy." Craig said pointing at everyone.

Sissy didn't speak she literally couldn't take her eyes off of his body, I didn't mind if people looked as long as they didn't touch. I trusted Clay completely, I trust him with my life I always have.

"Err Sissy, you've got a little something here." I joked rubbing my bottom lip.

She shot her hand up to wipe her mouth before laughing, "Right! Sorry!" she said apologetically, I liked her already she seemed a really nice person.

"Don't worry about it, I have that problem myself
all
the time." I said winking at her.

"I bet you do! God damn." she said fanning her flushed face.

"Did I miss something?" Clay whispered in my ear making me shiver as his hot breath blew down my neck.

"No baby, it's just a girl joke." I said kissing his cheek.

"So we just wanted to say welcome to the building and if you need anything let us know ok?" Sissy said smiling.

"Great thanks, and it was nice to meet you." I called as they all turned to leave.

"Oh and if you have any hot ass single friends, send them my way." Kane said winking.

Craig slapped him on the back of the head, "
Our
way dude!" he said shaking his head.

I laughed. "Right see ya." I said shutting the door.

Clay grabbed me and pushed me up against the door kissing me fiercely, "Hmm I could sense some hormones in the air there, not that I blame those guys I mean I do have the sexiest girl in the world." he said kissing down my neck and running his hands slowly up my thighs.

"Hey Clay, do you know that when you move into a new house you have to make love in every room for good luck?" I asked breathlessly as his hands reached my ass.

"Mmm, I didn't know that. Does a hallway count as a room?" he asked his breath tickling my skin against my neck giving me goosebumps.

"Oh hell yeah." I breathed. He laughed and proceeded to kiss all over my body making me moan like crazy.

Clay ordered us a takeout seen as we hadn't even had time to do our grocery shopping yet. Wow this moving out business was way more tiring than I thought, but that could be because I haven't slept very well for the last three days. We were now curled up on the sofa watching TV. We'd finished bringing good luck to our home a little while ago and were now just chilling out together.

It felt so nice to just cuddle there knowing that no-one was going to come in or say anything, we didn't have to do anything, I loved it, I loved him. "I'm tired baby." I said rubbing my eyes and yawning.

He smoothed the hair back from my face. "Let's go to bed then Riley bear, we have school tomorrow." he said. I groaned and rolled my eyes I didn't want to go to school. I wanted to hang out in our new place and go to the grocery store and look at some paint samples. "I need to go in Riley bear, I have a game on Friday, if I'm still allowed to play after skipping for two days." he said kissing my forehead.

I nodded "Ok fine, but you're buying me breakfast tomorrow morning before school." I said my eyes starting to droop, damn this boy is just too comfortable I thought as I snuggled into his chest. He pushed me slightly away from him so he could stand up then reached down and scooped me up into his arms and carried me to our bedroom.

"I love you Riley." he whispered as he slid in the bed beside me tucking the sheets under my chin.

"I love you more Clay." I said yawning.

"Not possible." he breathed in my ear as he snuggled closer to me melting our bodies together.

I woke to the sound of my cell phone ringing. My head was spinning slightly where I woke from the deep sleep I was in. I glanced at the clock to see it was just after two in the morning. Who the hell would be calling me at this time of the morning?

I grabbed my cell phone quickly before it woke Clay and pressed the answer button climbing out of the bed quietly. I snuck out of the room before putting the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jailbait." Blake slurred.

Oh my freaking God! "Blake? What the hell are you doing calling me? You're not allowed to call me." I said looking back into the bedroom praying I didn't wake Clay, if he knew Blake was on the phone we would be down the police station within five minutes and I was too damn tired. I'd tell him in the morning, I know he'll be pissed that I didn't wake him straight away but the boy needs to sleep.

"I want to see you." he slurred again.

Is he drunk? "Seriously? This needs to stop! I'm not interested, I'm with Clay. You need to stop calling me." I hissed annoyed.

"I can't jailbait. I've tried but I just can't. I want you." he said sounding slightly angry about it too.

"Well that's too damn bad! I'm with Clay, I love him and that's it." I said sternly.

"Leave him. I can make you happier than he can." he pleaded.

Yeah right, as if! "Blake, what the hell are you talking about? You barely know me, we went on two dates, that's it, just two. You need to leave me alone, I already have a restraining order out against you, you're not allowed to even be calling me!" I said shaking my head fiercely. What the hell do I need to say to this guy to make him understand?

"No the restraining order means I can't come near you, or contact you in a threatening manner. You could come to me,
that
doesn't violate the order." he said cockily.

"I don't want to see you!" I hissed. Damn it maybe I should just tell him to go jump in a lake or something, maybe that would make him understand.

"Jailbait, come on now. We had fun right? I promise I'll never hurt you again. I'm so sorry about what I did, I shouldn't have done but it's Preston, he just drives me f*cking crazy! This is all
his
fault, everything was great until he started sticking his f*cking nose in." he growled angrily.

Wow he is so deluded. "No everything wasn't great Blake, I'm sorry but you need to get over this little obsession with me. Honestly it's freaking creepy." I said shuddering.

"Creepy?" he laughed, "That's too funny, I'm not creepy." he said still laughing.

No you're a freaking psycho! "I'm going back to bed. Stop calling me." I snapped the phone shut not waiting for his answer. It immediately buzzed again in my hand so I turned it off. I guess I needed to get a new number or something.

I drank a glass of water trying to calm my nerves before slipping back into the bed with Clay. "Hey, where'd you go?" he asked sleepily as I snuggled close to his side again.

Crap I didn't want to tell him now, I'll tell him in the morning. "Bathroom." I lied. He kissed my nose and I pushed all thoughts of Blake out of my head and went back to sleep for another couple of hours.

The alarm went off at seven and I rolled over and pressed my face into Clay's chest needing more sleep. "Morning Riley bear." he chirped.

"Why the hell are you always so damn cheerful in the morning?" I asked defeated as I pulled a pillow over my head to block out the remaining light.

"I get to wake up to the most beautiful girl in the world. That kind of puts a happy twist on my morning." he said shrugging and pulling the pillow off of my head. Damn he's so sweet!

"Yeah well I get to wake up to you, but sorry baby I'd still rather have an extra hours sleep." I teased rubbing my nose against his lightly making him smile.

"School today Mrs. Preston and I can't wait." he said excitedly as he rolled on top of me grinning like a mad man.

I groaned, "Why can't school start at like ten thirty or something?" I asked turning my nose up. I really wasn't a morning person, unlike Clay.

"Oh come on! You're not excited about people asking about us being married?" he asked sitting up on the bed and rubbing a hand through his hair ruffling it up.

"Of course I am, but man I'm gonna get some death glares today. I bet the cheerleaders push me down the stairs or run me over in the parking lot or something." I said pouting slightly. Wow they were going to
hate
me today!

Clay laughed and shook his head, "They won't, come on Riley bear I'm starved. Let's get dressed so we can go eat." he begged pulling me up. I couldn't say no to that face so I rolled my eyes and allowed him to pull me up and to the bathroom to shower.

An hour and a half later and I stepped out of Clay's car in the school parking lot. I clung to his hand as people stopped talking to look at us. I was right, the cheerleaders - especially Zoë - looked like they wanted to kill me. I groaned as Clay lead me towards the building.

"Damn, look at their faces!" I whispered as we walked past a group of glaring girls. Clay laughed and pressed his lips to mine as we walked past them making me feel better instantly. Why does he taste so damn good?

We went to the office first. The lady smiled as we walked in, "Hey Clay, Riley." she said cheerfully.

"Morning Mrs. Stevens. Riley and I have new addresses and stuff to report." Clay said confidently pulling out the letter from the agent with the address and stuff on the front.

"You have new addresses?" she asked heading to the filing cabinets behind her and pulling out Clay's file from the 'P' drawer before heading to the 'T' drawer for mine.

"Yeah and I have a new name too." I said eyeing my file.

"New name?" she asked looking at me like I was crazy.

"Yeah Clay and I need to be filed together now, both under P." I said grinning and biting my lip.

She laughed, "I'm lost honey."

"We got married." Clay said proudly pulling me closer to his side grinning.

Her easy smile fell from her face. "You're kidding me."

I shook my head leaning over her desk and taking the 'change of information' form from the pile of papers she had sorted out. "Not kidding." I confirmed grinning happily.

I let Clay tell her all about it as I wrote all of our new information down in the relevant boxes. I loved filling in the form as Mrs. Preston and my next of kin as Clay. It was a nice feeling, I even had to make up a signature too for the bottom of the form.

"Damn I should have practiced before I signed this. This signature's terrible." I said turning my nose up at it slightly.

Clay laughed, "You mean you haven't been signing Riley Preston on your notebooks since first grade like all the other girls?" he asked faking hurt.

"Sorry baby but you just didn't do it for me then." I said winking at him making him laugh.

"Well I'm glad I do it for you now." he smirked at me as the receptionist transferred all of the information onto the computer.

"Ok well all done then Mr. and Mrs. Preston." she said shaking her head still looking a little bemused as she photocopied our marriage certificate for the file.

"Awesome thanks." Clay said wrapping his arm around my shoulder and leading me out into the hall.

Rachel was standing outside the office leaning against the wall flirting her ass off with Tom. When we walked out she grinned, "Hey you two. Finally pried yourselves out of that new apartment huh?" she waggled her eyebrows suggestively making me blush slightly.

"It was hard but I guess we needed to." I answered laughing.

"Heads up!" someone shouted loudly. Clay jumped up in the air and caught a football that literally seemed to come out of nowhere. Damn that's sexy!

"Sorry!" a guy said running over and slapping Clay on the shoulder.

"No problem Travis. Hey maybe you need to work on your arm because that throw sucked." Clay said cocking his head to the side smirking.

I rolled my eyes, if he was going to be talking football then I'm out of here! "See you later baby ok?" I said linking my arm through Rachel's and blowing Clay a kiss before walking off up the hall.

The morning went ok, the teachers we a little shocked when I told them all about my new name, most of the time forgot anyway and still ended up calling me Miss Thomas. It would take a while for me to get used to my new name, so I could barely blame a teacher who didn't really seem to believe me in the first place. 

At lunchtime all everyone wanted to talk about was our wedding and what it was like, every single person in the school had seen the video of it. Luckily the
unofficial first dance
video stayed private thank goodness.

The girls were gushing about my rings and Rachel recounted word for word Clay's proposal. How she remembered it I have no idea because she was wasted that night too. I sat there with a proud smile on my face the whole time, I didn't mind being the center of attention like I thought I would. I was so happy to be married to Clay that I wanted everyone to know it.

The bell rang signaling the end of lunch and Clay walked me to study hall kissing me outside the door gently, making himself late for class no doubt. "I love you." he murmured against my lips brushing my hair away from my face.

"Love you too Clay." I whispered, he smiled and turn and ran off towards the locker rooms to get changed for gym.

I sighed dreamily, watching until he was out of view and then headed to a desk at the back pulling out my English assignment from this morning. A few minutes later a chair scraped back next to mine making me jump.

I looked up to see a guy I didn't know sitting down next to me, he was quite cute I guess, with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. Rachel would totally say he was hot, maybe he'd give Tom a run for his money.
