Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Saturday was lovely, but tonight was going to be even better. I was doing something crazy, and I don't know how this was going to go over with Cyrus. However, I was going to attempt it anyway. I'm sure he would be pleasantly surprised once he sees what I have waiting for him in his room. The hard part was sneaking away so Jenna wouldn't see me. Though it didn't really matter if she saw me. I still wasn't sure what she was going to do with her threat, but it didn't matter right now.

Right now, I was making my way to Cyrus' room. It was ten minutes till ten and as expected he wasn't in his room. I closed the door quietly taking in his room like before. Staring at the bed, all my mind could think about was that night. We were having the best time that night and this time it was going to be the exact same.

Quickly, I ran to the bathroom to freshen up and to put on the white lingerie outfit. It fits just like a glove and was sexy looking on me. I fluffed my hair up to give it a messy kind of look before going to sit on his bed. I wasn't sure how to position myself and I looked ridiculous trying to figure it out. How do they make it look so easy in movies? I wanted to surprise him and not scare him. This was ridiculous.

Still trying to figure it out, I heard footsteps coming but not just one, two sets! Panic took over me as I began to freak out not knowing what to do. Who was with him? Whoever it was I couldn't let them see me. Especially not dressed like this. Fuck I knew something would go wrong when I attempted to be a little sexy.

Not time to think, I threw my other clothes under his bed and swiftly ran to hide behind the bathroom door. I made sure to stay super quiet as the door opened. In came Farah and Cyrus. Oh shit, I really needed to say quiet now. If she knew I was in here I'm not sure what would happen. Nothing good, that's for sure.

"So, how have you been liking the girls so far?" Farah asked him. It was appropriate since we're halfway through.

Cyrus sighed. "They're all different in their own right." He said being completely vague. I felt bad for eavesdropping but it's not like I wanted to be.

Farah crossed her arms annoyed by him being uninterested. "Who's caught your attention so far? Jenna?" She questioned, trying to push Jenna.

He shook his head. "Um, no not even close." That made me smile hearing that.

"Well about the girl you danced with last night. What's her name...umm...Bradyn! The strawberry blonde." She said excitedly.

Cyrus shook his head again. "She was lovely, but no mom. You know, I really enjoy Autumn." He finally says.

His mom was silent for a second, which wasn't a good sign. I figured if he said my name, she wouldn't be too happy about that. She made her dislike for me very well-known but hearing this conversation hurt my feelings in a way. She didn't say anything that I didn't already know but it was heart breaking to know if he did choose me Farah would not be supportive. Even if it meant her son being happy it didn't matter. If she didn't approve of us, we could kiss it goodbye. It wasn't fair. I couldn't help that I wasn't some famous person.

She scoffed, not liking his answer. "You mean the poor girl?" She questioned with disgust in her voice. "Cyrus, darling, you can't be serious?"

"I am very, and you don't need to say such things, mom. Wealth doesn't define anything." I smiled to myself. So, he was learning. At least taking the steps to.

Farah wasn't happy. "Like hell it does!" She yelled. "Anaha qiteat min alquraf eadimat alfayidati!"

Cyrus sighed. "English please." He didn't either. Jesus how didn't he know his own language? I was going to make him learn.

"She's a useless piece of shit!" She yelled again causing my heart to sting.

I knew she didn't like me, but I didn't think she thought that low of me. This woman just said I was a useless piece of shit. All because I wasn't filthy rich like they were. That was no fault of my own and I didn't mind how I lived. Speaking to Cyrus and Jay, it was obvious money wasn't going to buy someone's happiness. The fact that she was so hung up on that was troubling. It made me doubt that Cyrus and I would get past just fooling around. Especially if she had any input in on the final decision.

The more she talked, the more upset I got. "Maybe she's a sweet girl but choosing her would add nothing to this family." She said sternly.

This made Cyrus angry now. "She'll add a lot to this family mother. Autumn doesn't need money to be great." He defended me. "If you took the time to get to know her, you'll see what I mean."

"I know all I need to. She's broke and will add no substance to our lives." Farah was not backing down.

Listening to her made my blood boil but also made me feel defeated. Like I was never going to get her approval so why would I bother trying? She would never understand what it's like to be me as I wouldn't understand her. However, I would never tear her lifestyle down because it's different from mine. It's like she wanted to turn him against me and for what? Jenna. She's really making this whole thing seem pointless if Jenna is going to be her choice in the end. Although, she seemed thrilled about it being Bradyn as well. Her problem is just with me.

Feeling so rageful, my foot slipped against the tile in the bathroom causing a little squeak to break through. They both turned their heads to see what the noise was. I stayed completely still not making any sudden moves. Thankfully neither of them walked over here because I would have been in deep trouble. Luckily, my cover wasn't blown, and they continued their conversation like normal.

Cyrus seemed over the conversation ready for his mother to leave. "She has a heart. Something I'm afraid you'll never understand."

These words shocked her as she looked at him stunned. At least it seemed like she looked stunned as I was watching from the itty-bitty crack in the door. It's like she couldn't comprehend what he had just said to her. It of course made me feel good inside. Better than what she made me feel. Cyrus was right, she would never understand what it was like to have a heart. She was just an ice-cold bitch.

Pulling herself together, she stared at him intently not saying anything more about the subject matter. "There's four more weeks left. I'm sure you'll come to your sense then." She opened the door, turning to him one last time. "Please get some rest now son."

The door closed and Cyrus fell back on his bed sighing out of stress. "You can come out now." He called out to me. Of course, he knew I was there.

I took a deep breath walking out to meet his gaze. He sat up looking at me in awe a smirk developing on his face. At least I knew he loved the outfit even if I heard some unkind words from his mom. The whole point of this was to surprise him and fool around a bit. Now I couldn't stop thinking about what his mom said. She really disliked me for no real reason, and I was still stuck here for the next four weeks. I wanted to be happy to see him, but I couldn't be.

Noticing this, Cyrus got up off the bed wrapping his arms around me. He left a kiss on top of my head squeezing me as tight as he could. Feeling him embrace me like this made my heart feel full again. Despite all the horrible things his mother said, he did nothing but defend me till the end. He really cared about me and that was all I could ask for from anyone.

"I'm sorry A." He whispered to me stroking my hair. "I don't know what's wrong with my mother."

I looked up at him the tears welling in my eyes. It hurt me more than I was letting on. "Don't be sorry, you can't control these kinds of things." A tear rolled down my cheek.

Cyrus quickly wiped it kissing my cheek where the tear fell. "Although you look ridiculously sexy right now, why don't we do something a little more relaxing." He suggested.

"Mm, I don't know sex always relaxes me." I joke around.

He laughed rolling his eyes at my dirty mind. "Settle yourself A. I promise this will be more enjoyable for you."

With that he left a kiss on my cheek before walking past me into the bathroom. Suddenly, I hear the tub turn on and I raise my eyebrows in surprise. Walking into the bathroom, I see him running a bath with some lavender scented bubbles being formed. I smiled at him as this was going to be very relaxing. You could never go wrong with a hot bubble bath.

Leaving the bathroom one more time, he came back with candles lighting them around the tub. The aroma around the bathroom was amazing. It was even more amazing when Cyrus pulled his shirt over his head exposing his immaculate chest. It was even more gorgeous than I remembered. The best part is when he pulled down his pants. I quickly turned around my cheeks flustered. I know I already seen it, but Jesus I wasn't ready again. It was getting hot here.

Cy chuckled coming up behind me, his fingers slowly tracing down my arms as he began to strip me. He grabbed me with his other hand pulling closer into him as his lips left little kisses against my collar bone. It felt so good I completely lost myself resting my head back on his chest. His hand slowly slipping down the panties of the lingerie causing me to jolt at how cold his fingers were.

I smiled giggling a little bit. "I thought you said we were just relaxing?" I asked, not minding him touching me in indescribable ways.

"We are but that doesn't mean I don't want to touch you." He kissed my neck again continuing to take my clothes off.

Then, he turned off the bath, stepping in calmly. His hand reaching out to me get in. I grabbed his hand without hesitation sitting between his legs. I laid back against him as he gently splashed the hot water on my body. It felt so good getting to sit and relax in a bath with him. Something I was not expecting to do. It was so romantic and all his idea. Getting to be this close to him was perfect. After the shit, his mom spewed, this made me feel so much better. He always knew exactly what to do.

He sighed feeling relaxed himself. "So, why did you come hiding in my room?" He asked, not expecting me.

I closed my eyes feeling relief wash over me. "I was trying to be spontaneous. That backfired one hundred percent." I say feeling defeated my plan didn't work out too well.

He couldn't help but squeeze me. I loved it when he did. "Aw I'm sorry gorgeous. I wish I had known you were coming but I guess that's the point of being spontaneous." He chuckled.

I giggled with him. "It's ok because this is much better." I say looking him in the eyes feeling so much joy.

His hand cupped my face like he always did connecting his beautiful soft lips against mine. My body having tingles wash over it like a tidal wave. Everything about him was so passionate, so caring. If we could have stayed like this forever, I would have. We were really taking our relationship somewhere I didn't know I was ready for. Was it too fast? I'm not sure how to feel about this but was it worth thinking about? I didn't want to worry about such things. All I wanted was to feel at peace with what we shared at that moment. Those things can be dealt with later.

Stopping our little make out session, I bit my lip feeling all sort of things for this man. He was perfect and I wanted nothing more than to stay in his arms. They were so comforting and warm. I was one lucky lady and there was no way I was trading this for anything else.

He ran his fingers through my hair not being able to contain the smile on his face. I laughed trying to figure out what he was so smiley about.

"What's with you?" I asked through laughs.

He shook his head not breaking his gaze. "I don't know. You just make me feel like a brand-new person." He said smiling. "You've been making my life so much brighter Autumn. You have no idea."

Cyrus really was the best. Undoubtedly the first guy that has ever seen something more in me. It made me feel special. Important even. There was no way he could top this night.

"Now, let's get washed up and spend some time in bed. Shall we?" He kissed my cheek. He couldn't get enough of kissing me.

I nodded in agreement, feeling whole again. "We shall."
