The Knight.

I smiled and nodded, rolling off of him and getting underneath the covers. "Sounds good!"

"Okay babe.." I said softly, and I pulled her close to me and I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning I woke up and yawned, stretching. I got up and sleepily walked to the kitchen. I fixed me a glass of orange juice and when I turned around, I screamed and dropped the cup. It shattered on the floor. "Hey hey calm down!" Nova said with a laugh, taking a step back to avoid the glass. I ht his arm. "You ASSHOLE. Don't sneak up on me like that! How did you even get in here?" He held up a bobby pin. "I'm the king of picking locks."

I heard her scream, and some glass break. I quickly got up ans ran downstairs, a metal rod in my hands, ready to attack if I needed to. "Annabelle?" I asked, and walked into the kitchen, seeing broken glass, and Nova, and Annabelle. "How did he get in here?"

"He picked the lock." I said to Jay. I slapped Nova's arm again and grabbed the broom and dustbin. I cleaned up the glass, and then I grabbed a towel and cleaned up the orange juice. "What's that on your finger?" Nova asked. I looked up and smiled. "Jay and I are engaged." Nova sat on the counter and glared at me. "Engaged? And how long have you two been together?" I shuffles uncomfortably. Here it comes. "Just a few months.." I said quietly. Nova rolled his eyes. "See Annabelle, you can't just do that! You ran away with Dustin after only being with him for 5 months and look how that ended up!"

"Watch yourself Nova. Quit comparing me to that no good bastard. This is mine and Annabelles relationship, not Nova and Annabelle and Jay. Alright? So dont make sly comments like that." I said, it was really not his buisness..

When Nova turned around to snap at Jay, I yanked on his arm to make him turn to me. "Nova." I said gently, taking his hands. "Thank you for looking out for me. I understand why you're worried. I was too. But this is different. He's patient, and kind. And I love him. Please be happy for me..." Nova jumped off of the counter and hugged me. "Of course I'm happy for you sis..."

I sighed softly as she yanked him away, avoiding an altercation. It just ticked me off how everyone ive met on her side has mentioned that I better not be like Dustin. I know that they worry for her, but its almost insulting every time I hear it.

(I am so sorry! My post did not go up for some reason this morning. I was so mad, I thought I replied.)

"Just don't tell everyone else yet.. I plan to tell them tonight." I whispered. Nova kissed my forehead. "Okay. See you later." He left and I turned to Jay. "Sorry about that.."

I eyed Nova as he left, and I sighed. Watching as she turned to me. I looked down, and stayed quiet. "Excuse me." I said, as I turned and walked away, heading to the bedroom and sitting down, holding my head in my hands. I dont think they liked me. Her brother, mother..

I sighed and put the towel away, washing my hands. Damn it... I waited for a few minutes, then I went to the bedroom. I got on my knees in front of him and pulled his hands away. "They have nothing against you personally. I promise. It's more against me. They don't want me to screw up and leave them again. They just got me back and after finding out what Dustin used to do to me I don't blame them for feeling that way. It's not you okay?" I kissed his hands gently.

I looked at her, and nodded. "Youre right.. sorry. I just really hate being compared to him." I said. "Sorry.. im being selfish." I said shaking my head, I took her hand and pulled her onto my lap. I kissed her softly, and looked into her eyes. "I love you, you know that right?" I said softly.

I nodded and cupped his cheek in my hand. "Of course. And I love you." I said softly, smiling at him sweetly.

I smiled, and I kissed her nose. "Good.." I said, and I hugged her. I glanced at my phone, seeing I had a few texts, and ten missed calls from Melissa.. shit.

I glanced down and frowned slightly. "Who is Melissa?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

I sat her beside me and grabbed my phone, slipping it in my pocket. "No one, its no one." I said, quickly leaving the room. Shit shit shit.

I frowned and rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I mumbled. I changed clothes and combed my hair out. I made the bed and went to go feed Canada.

"Listen. You have to stop calling me, this is getting old." I told Melissa on the phone as I was outside. "We are done, okay? We were never together. Im engaged and this needs to stop." I said, raising my voice, I quickly hung up. She wss crazy. We went on one date a week befoew I met Annabelle. she got the idea we were still together, she didntget themessage..

"That's my pretty girl.." I whispered to Canada as I petted her. I stood up and grabbed my car keys. I walked outside to Jay. "Ready to go shopping?" I asked.

I looked over at her, and smiled. "Yeah, lets go." I said, and I slipped my phone in my pocket and I kissed her forhead before taking her hand and heading to the car.

"I'll drive. Since I know where everything is." I said, getting in the drivers side. I drove to the nearest home good store, Kirksland. I love it here.

I buckled in, and soon we were there. "Lets go shopping." I said, getting out of the car, and taking her hand and heading inside

I squeezed his hand as we walked through the shop. I saw so many things I loved, and I have the money, but I promised myself I wouldn't go overboard. "Oh, look!" I said. It was a huge painting of music notes and records and stuff. "That could be a cool decoration for the music room. With those curtains." The curtains were white with black music notes.

I nodded. "Yeah, they would actually look really nice. Huh?" Isaid, and I picked up the picture , and set it in the cart, along with the curtains.

I loved the way the store always smelled. Like cinnamon. "Do you see anything you like?" I asked, looking over at him.

"Look at that." I said. Pointing at the jimi hendrix picture across the isle. "This is cool." I said.

"Ooh 60s." I said with a smile, picking up the picture and putting it on the cart. I also got a few lamps and tablecloths and different kitchen supplies.

We got A few other things , just to fill some space in the house, I was looking forward to setting it up.

We bought everything and then we went for ice cream. Once we got home, we began to set stuff up. "That was fun."

I smiled over at her, and I Nodded, agreeing. "It really was." Isaid, and I finished up my ice cream.

I finished putting up the curtains and I sat on the couch, exhausted. I closed my eyes and sighed.

I glanced at my phone. "Fucking a.." I said as I answered , locking the door to the bathroom. "You need to stop.. im done with you, with us. we are done. Actually, we were never going.."

I was listening behind the door. Who the hell is he talking to? An ex? Why won't he tell me about it? I frowned and shook my head, walking away to the bedroom.

I hung up, and watched as the texts flowed in. I love you still.. even though youre there cheating on me.A message read, I left my phone as I walked out of the bathroom. I didnt want to tell Annabelle, worry her. Make her jealous. I wanted us happy.

I flipped through the channels boredly and I looked up as Jay walked in. "About time." I said, picking up my clothes. "I'm gonna go take a shower." I said, walking out. I locked the door and was about to undress when I saw Jay's phone. Should I? I know I should trust him, I DO trust him.. But I need to know. I grabbed his phone and read through his texts. Cheating on her? Who the hell is this girl? I put his phone down and sighed angrily. I got in the bath instead and sat there, looking out the window. It was on the second floor so no one would see me.

"Oh, okay." I said, watching her. Someone was pissy. I heard her angry sigh after a while and I knocked onthe doorn "Hey, you okay?" I asked through the door.

"Fine!" I answered grabbing the soap and scrubbing my body furiously, so that my skin turned pink from scrubbing. Next time I will confront him...

"Dont sound fine." I said, leaning against the door. "Im coming in.." I said, turning the doorknob, seeing it stopped. She never locked the door.

I smirked to myself after hearing his confused silence. Hah.. Too bad it's locked. I dipped my head under for a moment, then I rose back up, grabbing my shampoo and cleaning my hair.

I picked at the lock , and opened it. "You never lock the door." I mumbled, leaning against the door.
