Brianna's POV: 

When Jessica was released from the hospital, she wanted to come home to me and move back into my place. Her farther supported our relationship, and supported his daughter unconditionally. Just looking into his eyes, you could see the love that he had for Jess. He tried his best to take care of her, and for a while he was actually doing good at it. Jessica's constant begging to come live with me finally wore him down and he gave into her. It's kind of hard not to because she's just so cute. Especially when she pouts. His one condition to her living with here was me taking her to physical therapy every week, which I obviously have no problem doing. I want nothing but the best for her. She's been doing a lot better physically. Emotionally, I'm not sure if she'll ever get better to be completely honest. Of course I'm hoping for it, I'm "praying" for it. Not literally, because you know how I feel about churches and what not. Although that night when Jessica got attacked, assaulted, nearly beaten to death, however you want to put it, I believe a higher power may have answered my prayers for her to return to me.

I have a surprise for Jessica, one that I never thought I would ever do. This girl has really changed me, for the better. If it weren't for her I would have never known what it's like to be in love and to be loved. I tried to fight these feelings off for as long as I could. I had always known I loved her, I was just stubborn and afraid. Yes, someone as perfect as I am was actually afraid. Afraid to love this girl. One thing that will never change about me is my confidence. And also how sexy I am. Yeah I'll get older eventually and all that crap, but even when I have grey hair, ew wait a minute, I will never have grey hair. Ever. I'm getting off subject, because even I get distracted by how beautiful I am.

The surprise I'm hoping will bring some sunshine into Jess's life, because she's the sunshine in my life. She's been so strong throughout all of this. She's been strong enough for the both of us. I know the nightmares still haunt her every night. Hell, I even have nightmares about everything most nights as well. My wounds are healing though because I have Jessica. The scars that left me that night emotionally seeing Jessica's nearly lifeless body there is something that will remain with me forever, but I am getting better. Jessica is here and I will never let anything happen to her again, that's a promise. 

I finish putting on my makeup and getting ready, seeing as though Jessica will be here in a few minutes. I'm going to take her to her surprise, although it's more like our surprise because I'm still in shock that I even did it. This is how you know I'm really in love with her. I sit down on the couch and absentmindedly flip through a magazine. A few minutes later, I hear the door.

"Hey there." I open the door, greeting her.

"So where's my surprise?!" She asks, all excited.

"Can I even get a kiss?" I pout.

She leans in and kisses me. "Well you made it seem like this is potentially the greatest surprise of my life?! Is it a ring?" She glances at me.

I kiss her back. If she had asked me that a few months ago, my tiny black heart would have given out and I would have died right on the spot. I guess you can say I'm like the Grinch, my heart grew three sizes! "No, silly. Well, not yet at least."

She frowns. "Okay, this surprise better be like the greatest thing ever then. Because I was expecting a ring. If you like it then you should have put a ring on it." She quotes Beyonce.

"Shut up! You're making me regret my decision now." I joke. "But seriously, let's go before I change my mind."

We take my car and drive about thirty minutes away to this big, beautiful house. It was two stories and had a white fence around it. The color of the house was black and white. There is also a big gorgeous garden in the front with lots of flowers. It brings out a lot of color. Really, the whole place is just amazing. I think I did a pretty good job picking it out.

"Umm, what are we doing here?" She asks, highly confused.

"Aww. You look so adorable when you have no idea what's going on." I kiss her cheek. "Come on, get out." She gives me another weird look, but agrees to get out. We walk up to the door and I hand her a key. "Welcome home my love." I wrap my arms around her.

"Huh?! Wait, did you buy a house?!" She seemed to be just as in shock as myself, and all of our friends were when they heard the news.

"Yup. I sold the loft. You're looking at our new place. All ours babe." I lean in and kiss her.

"I don't know what to say. You've made me absolutely speechless."

"Well, how about we go inside?" I suggest.

"Yes!" She unlocks the door, and takes my hand, pulling me inside.

"Wow! This place is huge!" She gasps, looking around.

"Well we're going to need it. You know..." I pause. "For our kids and such someday." I clear my throat.

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage." She giggles.

"Yes, yes. One thing at a time." I laugh.

"I never ever thought this day would come. The day where you sell your fuck pad. The bachelorette pad."

"Me either, honestly. But then this really annoying seventeen year old girl came into my life and started to stalk me. You see, it became hard to resist her, because she was just so adorable and sexy. Eventually, my annoying little stalker made her way into my icey cold heart."

"Oh shut up." She playfully hits my arm. "We've both changed a lot since then."

"Yeah, we definitely have." I wrap my arms around her again.

"I love you." She whispers, before kissing me.

"I love you too, Jessica." I kiss her back.

A few days of hard labor, mostly all done by me and some men I hired, we were all moved in. Jessica wanted to help, in fact she insisted, but I had to be stern. Even after she gave me her cute puppy dog eyes. I didn't want her to mess up all the progress she made with her physical therapy. Besides, she's my princess. She shouldn't have to lift a finger. But it's settled now, the loft and all the women that were a part of it are all in the past now. This house in a way signifies my commitment to Jess. She really is the only one that I want. The only one that I need. Sure, I still see attractive women walking down the street, or at Joe's, or Illusion (which I only go to about three nights a week when Jessica is having a good day or busy with Selena. Or busy with her family, whatever she's doing so I know she's okay) but I don't feel the need to fuck them like I used to. I don't have any desire to, well hey maybe a little, I'm only human! The point is, I'm 100% committed to Jessica and that will never change. She is my girlfriend, and in the future, will be my wife.

It's our first night staying in our new home together. I feel a bit nervous, I don't know why. Jessica and I haven't really had sex since Amanda attacked her, which I'm completely okay with. I'm not pressuring her at all. Sex used to be something I needed, but now it's so much more then that. I think tonight might be the night though. Jess has been sending me signals all day. I don't doubt my abilities to please her, I definitely know I can do that. I'm Brianna Steele after all, the womanizer. Well, ex womanizer. But pleasing women is what I do best.

I have a fire going, and I'm sitting on the couch drinking a glass of red wine. Jessica comes over and joins me. "So, what are you doing?" She asks.

"Waiting for my girlfriend to come join me." I smile at her. "Do you happen to know where I can find her?" I chuckle.

"Hmm. I don't think she's home right now. I can keep you company though?" She bites her lip, which she knows drives me crazy.

"Sorry. I'm monogamous now." I smirk.

"Well, she doesn't have to know." Jessica leans in and kisses me.

I kiss her back, placing my hands on her face. She slides her tongue in my mouth, playing with my tongue as we kiss. I want to touch her so bad, but I don't want to do anything until she's ready. She leans back on the couch, pulling me on top of her. Our lips reunite as she slides her hands up my shirt. I let out a soft moan, and get distracted from my thoughts as she continues to touch me.

She always has the power to do that over me. She makes me feel so good that I can't even think. I can't be selfish, I need to think of her. I break the kiss, and catch my breath for a few seconds before talking. "Jessica, I don't want to do anything until you're ready. I'm perfectly happy just holding you in my arms."

"You're so sweet." She tells me. "But babe, I am ready. I am. I know it's been months since we've had sex, and I'm sorry for that."

I take her hand and kiss it. "Don't you ever be sorry for that. I'm telling you, we don't have to have sex. This relationship isn't just about sex. I love you. I love you so much." I kiss her lips softly.

"I know this relationship isn't just about sex..." She pauses, before giggling. "Anymore... I am ready to have a physical relationship with you again. You've been so amazing these last few months. You've been my rock, Brianna. I love you too, very much."

"Are you sure, baby?" I ask one more time.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm positive." She kisses me. "Just take things slow, okay?"

"Of course." I begin to kiss her again slowly, before undressing her.

That night, the love we made was the best I ever had, with anyone, period. It wasn't the best sex of my life because of how good she made me feel or how good I made her feel, it was the best because I love her and she loves me. Tonight reminded me of the first night we ever had sex. It was passionate, and I enjoyed every part of her perfect body. Both nights were taken slow, which I don't mind at all. With Jessica, it's not just sex, it's making love. As cheesy and cliche as that sounds, it's true.

We eventually made our way to our bedroom, that has been decorated to both of our tastes. The walls are covered in pictures of us. All together, this house is just perfect. Not because it's big or fancy, but because this is my house with Jessica. It's our house. I couldn't ask for anywhere better to live. Except maybe Colorado, because weed is legal there. Joking. My loft, was my loft. It was a big part of my life. Man, I did have some good times there. Some great times there. But, I'm looking forward to my life with Jessica. This house is the start of the rest of our lives together.
