Beneath Our Faults

"I've know that shit all along," he rasped out, his soft lips pressing into mine softly. The warm sensation of his tongue gliding along the outer corner of my mouth like he was devouring me sunk into my stomach and I leaned in closer wanting more. My mouth edged open allowing his tongue access.

I flew up at the loud bang on the hood of his car, screeching and knocking my head on the ceiling. I twisted around in his lap to see Lane standing at the front of his car. "Damn, keep it in the bedroom you little freaks," he snickered, giving us a thumbs up.

"Everywhere we go, we create an audience," I sighed, using my hands to cover my shaking head.

"Nah," he said, putting the car in drive and I climbed back to my seat, receiving a small smack on my ass. "We are going to give it some new memories. Or we can make a movie?”

He might not be the out-of-the-story book knight in shining amour but he was my prince. He gave me back happiness when I never thought it would exist for me again. When we met, I was broken, never to be fixed but somehow he had managed to put the broken shards together.

Keegan helped me heal, move on and love again. And despite our faults, we both loved each other too much to allow them to get in the way. The tragic ending of my first love ended up being the beautiful beginning of my next one.
