"Mom. I love him."

"But does he?". She asked angrily.

"He does". I said loudly.

"How would you know?". She snapped. "You're so naive. He is just going to play with you then move. He will never take your relationship seriously".

"You don't know an-"

"Oh I know. He is going to play with you, making you believe that he will marry you in a couple of years. But he will never marry you. Never."

Her words hurt. But I just shook that hurt away and smiled lightly.

She sighed. "I can find you a good man. Someone that will be the best for you. I know someone who will treat you like a queen. I know a good man for you."

"Hunter is good for me".

"This man owns an armament company!" She yelled.
"He builds killing machines and war object."

I let out a laugh. "So? Are you scared he is going to bomb us". I said faking being scared making her angrier.

"HE IS PLAYING YOU!"

"He is not playing me." I said making my way to my room.

"He is too old for you". My mom yelled following me in my room.

"No he is not."

She looked at me angrily. "Ten years difference."

I sighed. "It doesn't matter." I said. "I love him. I brought him here so you could meet him."

"I met him". She snapped. "But that doesn't mean that I have to trust him with you. What if he just tales advantage ."

"Mom. I'm not stupid. Just get to know Hunter. He is the type of person you can hate at first, but then you're gonna have to love him."

"You are too young, Stella!" She said angrily. "God! You're even too young to be in a relationship".

I chuckled. "I'm eighteen mom."

"And he is what? Thirty?".

"No. Twenty eight".

She glared at me even more. "That makes it so much better."

I let out a breath before sitting down. "I love him. Just get to know him."

She rolled her eyes. "For God's sake". She muttered before walking out of my room, slamming the door shut.

I shook my head. She is never happy.
Hunter is the first man I'm dating. She was the one always telling me to hurry and have a boyfriend.
Now that I've been with Hunter for six months, she is going crazy for no reason.

I jumped slightly when my phone started ringing. A big smile appeared on my face as I answered.

"Hi". I said letting out a breath.

"How did it go?"

"She is angry." I said pouting slightly. "I don't know what to tell her anymore."

"Do you have doubts?".

"No." I said shaking my head, even though he can't see me.

"You better not." He said and I let out a small laugh.
"I'm serious. Mom or not. You are not getting rid of me".

I was about to answer when I heard my mom yelling my name from down the stairs. I sighed.

"I have to go."

"Okay. I'll pick you up from school tomorrow."

"Okay". I smiled lightly. "I love you."

"I love you baby". He said before my mom started yelling again making me hang up and walk out of the room.

"How are you?" Was the first thing he asked when I got into his car.

"Good". I said with a smile as he moved his hand to the back of my neck to pull my face closer to his.

"I missed you". He said before pressing his lips on mine.

I kissed him back before pulling away realizing we were still in the school's parking lot.

He huffed before pulling out of the parking lot.

"I missed you too". I said kissing his cheek.

****

I let out a sigh of relief when we walked into his house.

School is the most tiring thing ever.

I didn't wait for Hunter and practically ran to the living-room.
But I heard him following behind me.

"How was your day?" I asked while dropping on his couch.

He chuckled looking down at me.

"Tiring". He said taking his jacket and tie off.
"I'm leaving next week for a few days."

I pouted slightly. "Where are you going?"

"France, then China." He said pulling me to sit on his lap.
"Come with me".

"I can't. I have school." I sighed placing my head on his shoulder.

He groaned. "When are you finishing?"

"In less than four weeks". I said taking his hand in mine.
"Are you coming to my graduation?"

"Of course". He said kissing my forehead. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

I grabbed to look at his watch before sighing.

"I can't stay long you know". I said looking at him.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Why not?".

"I told you I had a project to do with Henry."

"Didn't you say it was in class?"

"Yes but we didn't finish, so we have to meet. School will be over in less than four weeks. So we have t-".

"Can't you just FaceTime?". He asked raising his eyebrows.

"Why FaceTime if we can meet up?" I asked looking at him weirdly.

"And where are you meeting up?"

"His house."

"You're not going."

"Excuse me?".

Did I hear right?

"Tell him to come. You can do it here. But you're not going."

I scoffed. "Yeah right".

He glared at me. "I'm serious Ella. Tell him to come here if you want to do that project but you are not going to his house."

"Have you lost your mind?"

"Probably". He shrugged. "Now call him."

"No I'm going". I said standing up and taking my bag.

I quickly made my way to the door but let out a loud squeal when an arm went around my waist picking me.

"I swear to God. Hunter. Put me down right now." I said angrily as he started walking up the stairs.

He walked in his bedroom and slammed the door shut before locking it. He threw on the bed and I let out a scream before glaring at him.

"You're crazy". I snapped.

"I know". He said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hunter. Y-"

"Call him and tell him to come or you are not getting out of this room until it is time for me to take you home".

I looked at him angrily. "Who do you think you are?".

He walked closer to me and sat on the bed before moving his face close to mine.

"Your boyfriend". He said lowly. "If you want to do that project. Call him." He said handing me my phone.

I let out an angry groan before snatching my phone from his hand.

"I hate you so much right now."

I gasped when he suddenly pulled me on top of him.

"No you don't". He said before placing his face into the crook of my neck.
"It is your fault anyways".

"How?" I asked not being able to think properly when his lips came in contact with my skin.

"Because you won't let me have you". He said huskily.
"And now I also have to make sure those stupid teenagers stay away from you".

"Yeah and I told I'm not doing anything before marriage. Get over it". I said pushing on his shoulder.

"I know". He said tickling my sides and I let out a laugh grabbing his hands.
"Now call that little boy."
