Speak To Me

(Tilly)

I felt Rylan press his mouth to the hollow of my throat, making a shiver tremble through me as I tried not to react. We were in the hospital after all..

"Rylan, you are going to get me in trouble." I breathed, feeling my body start to react in ways only he could make it.

"But I didn't get my fill this morning.." He grumbled, making me giggle as his hands started to wander next.

"I'm sure we will more than make up for it tonight."

I didn't think it would be like this..I mean..I always fantasized about what life would be like if Rylan ever noticed me. But this..it's so much..more.

I feel like Rylan knows me. All of me. Not just my body, but my mind too. I swear just one look and he knows what I am thinking or feeling. And he makes me laugh..really laugh..

It's almost like he has become my best friend too, not just my boyfriend. Which he is, officially. He kind of just came out and said it.

It happened a few days ago when we were lying in bed after Rylan and I made love and he slowly began tracing his finger along my stomach.

"Now guess what this one is." He whispered, dragging his fingertip up and down a few times as a smile twitched in the corner of my mouth. "A star."

"Correct..you get one kiss for that." He praised, making me laugh as he lifted up and pressed his mouth to mine roughly.

"Now I'm going to spell something." He mumbled, his words tickling my flesh as he dragged himself back down my naked body. "Ready?"

I nodded my head in response, closing my eyes so I could focus as he pressed his finger back to my torso.

I began tracing the letters in my mind..spelling them out as they came.

"M....i...n...e." I said each one and fluttered my eyes open before meeting those bright green ones.

"Now what does that spell?" He asked with a cocky grin.

"Mine." I breathed, the intensity of his gaze making my heart race.

"And what does that mean Angel?" He asked, making me swallow hard as I tried not to freak out.

"That I'm yours?" It was more of a question than anything..I mean..we have talked about being together and living together..but we didn't really label it yet. "Good girl..you are mine..my Tilly..my beautiful girlfriend. All mine.."

Girlfriend..that word made so many emotions run through me..and the fact that it was Rylan Walters saying it..I couldn't believe this was real.

"You want that right? To be my girlfriend?" Rylan asked, making me nod shyly as the biggest smile filled his face.

"Good..because if you said no..I might have to kidnap you for real and lock you in this room forever.."

"Rylan!" I gasped, laughing as he pounced on me before smothering me in kisses.

"Fuck..I can't wait to make you Mrs. Walters though.." He added, causing me to stiffen as he quickly pulled my legs apart and settled himself between them.

"You want that too, right Angel?" He asked, staring down at me with that look that made my brain turn to mush.

"Y-yes.." I whispered, the words barely leaving my lips as Rylan slammed his cock inside of me, making me cry out in pleasure.

"Fuck..you are perfect...absolutely fucking perfect." He groaned, wrapping his arms around me as he held me tightly to his chest before rolling us over.

"I won't ask you until your papa is better..and once I get his permission..then I am making you mine forever.." He mumbled against my bare shoulder, his hands lifting my thighs as he slid me up and down his cock slowly.

I couldn't help but let out a choked sob..his words truly touched me as I tried not to let these emotions consume me.

"I know..shhh..it's okay..I feel it too..I feel it too.." He rushed out desperately, kissing my face and cheeks as my tears rolled down them.

I have fallen for this guy so freaking fast..and it was terrifying..but in a good way. I think Rylan felt that too..he knew this was a little crazy and yet it felt so right..so the words I said next..those words I have felt even before all of this came tumbling out of me. "Rylan....I love you." I confessed, making Rylan gasp as he pulled back and peered into my eyes.

"Do you mean it Tilly?" He asked, the vulnerability in his words making me nod hastily as he lifted his hips, sliding deeper inside of me.

"I love you too..I love you so much that I swear it's making me crazy."

His lips smashed to mine, those words we just said making everything even more intense as I lost myself in Rylan completely. His taste, touch, smell..all of it surrounded me as we truly made love..and we continued to say those words over and over again until we were both grasping onto one another as we came.

Afterwards, we lay in bed, enjoying one another as Rylan's words settled into me.

Rylan just said he wanted to marry me right? That he wanted to ask my Papa for permission.

I know he didn't have to..but to know he wanted my Papa's approval meant a lot to me. Because even though things might not be great with my other family members..my papa has actually been getting to know Rylan.

He asks about him all the time now when I call and even looks forward to his visits.

Mama hates it..I can tell..but she hasn't said anything yet. And Shaina..she is even worse. I haven't seen her since the first time really..I mean, she comes to visit Papa occasionally..not very often though. But when she does, she just looks at me and Rylan with disapproval before whispering to Mama about us I'm sure..

Since today is the day Papa goes to the rehab facility, I know she will be here and I'm honestly a little nervous about it.

But if I have Rylan by my side, everything will be okay..I know that now.

"I love you Angel." Rylan whispered, pulling me closer to his chest as he bent down and kissed my lips gently.

Before I could respond, the doors opened up and that's when Rylan and I both turned, seeing Mama and Shaina standing across the hall.

"You're late Mija, we are about to sign the discharge papers now." Mama snapped, narrowing her eyes at me before turning and walking towards Papa's room.

I felt my cheeks redden with embarrassment as Shaina just stared at me with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"You know you are being very selfish. Mama says you haven't been staying late anymore. Are you really letting this rich boy consume your life now?" Shaina asked in Spanish.

I know Rylan could understand a little..so the fact that she as saying this right in front of him was so rude..I couldn't even believe it.

Instead of responding, I just ignored her. Going to walk towards the hospital room as anger began to boil up inside of me. How can she even say that to me? She had been here like four times total..she isn't even working at the restaurant anymore! I have been taking the lunch shift that way I can make sure to be here with Papa during dinner..

Rylan says I should take some time off..that I am overworking myself..but I know Papa needs the money..and even though I'm not living with them anymore, I still have most of my check deposited into their account.

I feel so guilty living with Rylan and not contributing anything financially, but he keeps assuring me that I don't need to.

But with him driving me to and from work and bringing me off lunch everyday..I grow more indebted to him as time goes on..but I swear I will make it up to him somehow.

"Don't listen to her okay? You are doing so much for your family.." Rylan whispered, making me take in a shuddering breath as I nodded before plastering on a smile..even though Papa couldn't see it on my face..he could hear it in my voice..and I didn't want any of this drama reaching him.

After Mama signed the discharge papers and we thanked the staff for all that they have done, we started to head downstairs to bring papa to the shuttle bus.

Rylan managed to get him a really nice wheelchair, which was probably way more expensive than he made it seem..and he refused to let me pay for it.

Mama didn't even say thank you really..I mean, she muttered the words, but you could tell it wasn't genuine. Papa on the other hand was almost in tears. It just about killed me when Papa grabbed Rylan's hand and thanked him for everything he had done and for watching over me.. I swear I almost broke down into sobs.

It also made me happy to see how much my Papa accepted Rylan.

Mama stood beside papa as the nurse pushed him off of the elevator, and that's when a sudden gasp escaped her.

"Shaina, come." Mama rushed, making my brow furrow as I noticed them glancing towards a man.

"What is it?" Rylan asked and I shrugged.

"It is him..we can't let him see her." I swear I heard Mama say, making me even more confused.

"What's wrong?" I asked, going to approach them as Mama seemed to blanch.

That's when I saw the man they were speaking about.

He seemed to be older, maybe even as old as Papa. He had on a perfectly tailored suit with salt and pepper hair but he definitely kept in shape. Truthfully, I would think he owned the building with the way he was standing there. But once he turned..that's when a gasp escaped me..

Because this man..he had something I had only seen when looking in the mirror..

His eyes..they were the exact same as mine..
