The Heart Of Everything

19. That is for hitting my ass

It is Christmas Eve today and I am not sure if I bought the right present for Kimmie, but I guess I have to wait and see until tomorrow. Hope she doesn't hit me in the head with it. No, I am just kidding, I bought her two gifts. I hope she likes them, I just have to wait and see. Kimmie looks at me annoyed because I wanted to get out of the house for a walk. She is cold. Even though the sun is shining and that she is wearing my warm pants. I take her cold hand in mine.

"Why are you warm?" She asks me upset.

"Because I am smart." I smile.

"Smart? Sam, you are wearing your leather jacket, it must be cold." She says irritated and I look at her grinning. Kimmie rolls her eyes avoiding mine. I don't understand how she can be grumpy. Taking a walk in the middle of the day in the beautiful snow. Well, nothing is more beautiful than Kimmie. My eyes find her and I lean in to kiss the top of her head. She looks at me trying to hide her smile, but she can't.

"Okay, you are right, it is nice here." She says giving in, she always does when I kiss her. It's Kimmie's little weakness.

"But I am cold." She complains and I sigh of irritation as I stop walking. Kimmie turns to me and put her hands on my collarbones as I put my hands on her waist and kiss her on the forehead. Then she wraps her arms around me and buries her cheek onto my shoulder.

"You're so warm." She almost moans.

"Do you want to be warmer?" I ask teasing and Kimmie leans back to look at me.

"You're an asshole." She hit me on the collarbone.

"I was going to offer you my jacket, but okay." I grin at her and she rolls her eyes.

"No, you weren't." She argues and then I smile at her lightly, because this is an amazing moment. Watching the girl I love is surrendered with snow and the sun shining on her red hair. It makes her look so... god, is there a better word for beautiful? Kimmie looks questioning at me.

"Sammie bear are you there?" She asks, waving her hand in front of my face. I clench my teeth of the name.

"You ruined my moment! And I am not a bear!" I tell her irritated as I start walking back to the house, upset. Kimmie stops in front of me with her hands on my collarbones and I roll my eyes, avoiding her green.

"For me, you are a bear." She says and I look at her with fury. God, I am so angry right now.

"I am not fat and I am not that tall!" I shout to her, and Kimmie just smiles at me.

"No, but you are really soft and warm." She says as she wraps her arms around me, holding me tight. I take a deep breath as I kiss the top of her head.

"I'm sorry, for being an asshole." I tell her because I am. I have so many nicknames for her and I get all mad because of just one. Kimmie is the one that should be angry with me. I need to control my fury a lot better, especially around Kimmie and Molly.

"I can stop calling you tha..."

"No, honey, it's okay. You can call me anything you want." I promise her, she can call me anything as long as she does not leave me. Kimmie is all I have and all I want. If she leaves, I will lose everything.

"Let's go back before you freeze your ass off." I tell and she rolls her eyes, but follow me. I stop. Stiffen as Kimmie hit my ass, again. I bit my inner cheeks and listen to Kimmie's little laugh.

"You can't hurt her." I mutter to myself. You love her with all your heart. I take a deep breath and turn to my grinning tiny girl.

"I love you too, honey, but I promised your mom to keep an eye on your little sister when we came back," I tell and then remember something.

"And your Aunt Molly." I can't believe I just said that. Kimmie's granny, mother, and father are going to make dinner. While Percy and Tyson are going shopping, so I have to babysit the three kids. Not so sure if I want to look after the old one, but I want so bad to take my revenge. Molly does not tease, she hurts, and I know that by now. She has no limits. Just want me to look as bad in front of everyone, and she did that yesterday. Well, most of that is my fault. I am an asshole, there is no denying, and I am going to show her that.

I breathe out as I sit down on the couch with my tired legs flat out, but lose my breath as Kimmie sit down with me.

"Seriously?" I ask and she smiles and nods.

"You know I love you." She says, grinning and I roll my eyes. I look at Molly, who just snorted and she looks annoyed, good.

"You have a room upstairs, you can use that." She complains and I have to hide my smile.

"I don't think that would work, Kimmie is really loud." I tell Molly and her eyes widen.

"Hey!" Kimmie says angrily and hit my shoulder. I look at my girl with a raised eyebrow.

"That is for hitting my ass." I tell her to make it even.

"Fine." She says through gritted teeth as she lay her head on my shoulder and kiss my neck.

"She hit your ass?" Molly asks, laughing and I roll my eyes.

"Kimmie like my ass." I say and wink to the brown haired. Molly raises her eyebrow.

"Must be the only thing she likes about you." She tells and her eyes drift to the TV. Bella is sitting on the floor watching a cartoon while we argue. I am not sure who much of the conversation she hears.

"Hey! There are a lot of things I love about my Sam." Kimmie says irritated by her aunt and I feel my cheeks warm, I am not sure where we are going now.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I ask, tired of Molly trying to hurt me. It's annoying because she is really good at it. Molly meets my eyes and she snorts.

"Because you are not good enough for Kim." Oh god, not again. I swallow hard in agony. She hit me again because in some way I think she is right. Maybe I am not good enough for Kimmie. I am a mess, have been that for as long as I have lived. Shut up! If you keep on thinking like this Kimmie is defiantly going to leave you.

"Sam is more than enough." Kimmie says, smiling at me, but I look down at her a little doubtful and I know she sees that.

"Molly, if you don't stop bothering my girlfriend, I am going to kick your ass!" Kimmie sounds so angry, and I do not bother to look at her aunt.

"Poor Sam, have to let her girlfriend fight for her." Molly tease and I clench my teeth in fury. I turn to look at her and she watches me smiling. Before I know it, I have moved over to her and grabbed her shirt with my fist in the air, ready to punch the brown eyed. She looks at me mocking, and it is like looking into a mirror. It's the way I watch people when I want them to hit me and to make them angry. I have tasted my own medicine, and it tasted awful.

"Sam, let her go." Kimmie says to me. I start to lose my grip on her shirt because I am not falling into that trap. Then I start to smile, which turn into a laugh.

"You are no better than me." I tell Molly as I let her go and sit back down with Kimmie. She sits on me again, smiling as she kisses my cheek. I am one hell of a lucky person. That's the thing I need to think about, not getting offended or angry, because of Molly. I wrap my arms around Kimmie and kiss her at the back of her head. She leans back, which makes me rest my head on her shoulder.

"I love you, honey." I whisper in her ear, she turns and kisses my cheek.

"I love you too." She whispers back. I lean down on the couch with Kimmie and I close my eyes, listening to the TV, and feel the warmth of Kimmie.

The dinner tasted so good. The atmosphere was so nice and quiet. We were all enjoying our food. Until Kimmie's granny started to drink, that's when all hell broke loose. She couldn't stop talking, and it was kind of funny. Percy kept on telling her to keep her mouth shut, but that did not help and it earned him a slap in the head. Kimmie and I had to suppress our laughs, and it was really hard as our stomachs started to hurt.

Molly looked pissed off as usual, but she didn't say or do anything to me. That was at least nice of her to do, so I could eat in peace next to Kimmie. She has been looking forward to this day for weeks now, and she was smiling from ear to ear. I couldn't keep my eyes from her, I love her smile. Just like the one, she is wearing in bed right now, and I smile back to the beautiful girl as take her hair behind her ear.

"You were good today." She tells me and I look at her confused.

"With Molly. You didn't hit her." She says and I roll my eyes as I feel my cheeks turn warm.

"I don't take the first punch." I say and it makes her chuckle.

"Sam, you wanted to punch that guy outside of the mall, that kind of counts as the first punch." She says raising her eyebrow.

"That guy should have had a hit in his head, to get that brain of his back on track." I tell her annoyed and she laughs.

"Okay, fine." Kimmie says and kisses me lightly. She moves back and attacks me with kisses all over my face.

"Okay, honey. I get it you love me." I say, trying to hide a laugh as I put my hand on her cheek to push her lightly back. We meet eyes and I smile softly to her.

"And I really love you, my princess." I tell a little teasing but mean every word. Kimmie rolls her eyes, still smiling though.

"I am so tired." She yawn, well then we are two. It is really late, maybe around three in the middle of the night.

"Come here then." I say and Kimmie moves into me and bury her face in my chest.

"I can't wait for the morning." Kimmie mumble with her sleepy voice.

"I know, honey." I tell her and kiss her at the top of her head.

"Goodnight, Sammie bear." She says and I snort as I roll my eyes.

"Goodnight, princess."
