She's Feisty by R.E. Cooper (free ebook novel txt) 📕

The love of my life. I confessed to her last night, and she feels the same way." Geo nodded, "how lucky, that turned out pretty good." "No way! That's crazy, but uh... Isn't this sorta a bad idea? I mean I know you said you love her, and that she feels the same way. But she might hurt you, we couldn't have that." I looked to Al, shocked. "Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree. We always supported your feelings for her, but we never thought you guys would meet like this. I mean do you really know her? You only know what she chooses to tell you, and she would be lying!" I snarled at Carrot and whisper yelled, "you guys don't know her like I do! She would never hurt me. We love each other, okay?" "You've never spent more than a few hours together at a time, how can you be sure?" Carrot fired back. "Because, when I look at her I see my whole world. There was a period of time around the anniversary of my fathers deaht that I wanted to commit suicide. You guys remember that don't you? No matter what anyone said or did, until she came to visit me. That day I remembered why I kept on going. For months, the only thing that kept me going was knowing she would come to visit me every two weeks." They all looked down at the memory. I could tell Geo supported me, he had little doubt in the first place. Al just needed to talk to her, and after one conversation I know he'll believe me. Carrot though, may not be so convinced. 

Suddenly I felt movement beside me and a light moan. We all stopped talking and looked down at Mel. God she's beautiful, how could I be so lucky? Her eyelids fluttered for a moment and then my blue eyes met her warm brown ones. "Hey morning Babe. You didn't wake up after... yesterday so I decided to let you sleep here tonight." She smiled brightly at me and then saw Geo, AL, and Carrot. After a moment Al, the tale of us spoke up. "Does anyone else feel like she's sizing us up right now?" He let out a nervous laugh and Mel smiled at him. She moved the sheets and sat up. I sat up with her and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into my lap slightly, and set my head onto her shoulder.

"I'm Melany, Sam's girlfriend. And you guys are?" I smiled as they introduced themselves. Once we were done with that the guys climbed into their bunks and we all took a nap. It was still rather early in the morning. I laid down, pulling Mel with me. "Mmmm sleep Mel." She sighed, "I want to. But once I wake up I can't fall back asleep." "Hmmm, then cuddle. Or pretend to sleep." She seemed to think  it over for a second before giving up and laying next to me. She pulled the sheets over us and I pulled her closer. 

Even if she ends up staying her full 5 year sentence, she would still leave much earlier before me. So I have to savor every precious moment I have with her until then. I pulled her into my chest and she snuggled against me.
