Teenagers

Sybyla

I got flirted with a lot, and asked for drinks a lot. I never felt prettier, of course I hadn't ever felt pretty before Kaleb.

"Oh come on baby," someone said to me, "just one drink?"

"No thanks," I replied with a smile, "maybe tomorrow."

"I leave tonight."

"Aww," I made a fake pout at him, "I'm sorry, I have a prior engagement."

Kaleb:

Kaleb always made sure to keep an eye on Syb when he was near her, but he didn't get to do that alot.

"She won't be messed with in here as long as she can take all the request for drinks." Cale, the guy that was working wiht him said.

"I'd still like to hurt all that even look at her." Kaleb growled. Cale laughed,

"I still say you need to leave."

"We might." Kaleb replied. He knew it would take a lot to talk Syb into leaving.

Sybyla

The drunk man left with a deflated look on his face, I felt kinda bad for him, but I had noticed the wedding ring and if being in love with Kaleb wasn't enough that had been the clincher.

Thankfully being in love with Kaleb was enough.

When our shifts ended we met up in the locker room, as usual I was extatic to see him, I launched myself into his arms and we just stood there for a while. Then finally he kissed me and we went out to look for an apartment, the trailer wasn't ideal for Vegas life.

Kaleb:

Kaleb drove to an apartment complex that Cale had told him about and talked to the landlord.

"If your a friend of Cale's your welcome. He lives here too, I'll give you the one next to his sense it is the only one open. Bet you he planned that." The man had a huge potbelly that made Kaleb want to cringe. He didn't though.

"Thanks,"

"Just pay your bills and we'll be friends." The man replied hadning him a key. Kaleb left and walked over to Syb.

"Come on, let's get some sleep. It's furnished." He locked up the trailer which they parked in the back and then locked his truck.

"I like this kitchen," I said idly, "it's got counter space!"

Kaleb chucked and nuzzled my hair, I sighed and turned around to look at him. He had a sort of sad look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked running my fingers through his bangs.

Kaleb:

"I don't like that every guy is flirting with you. But there isn't anything I can do about it. I don't know if we are safe here Syb." He sighed looking at her and taking a deep breath. "I mean it's nice pay, but I'm not so sure it was a great idea, I don't want anything happening to you."

"I'll be fine." She tried to reassure him.

"Syb, I'm jealous. I'lright, I don't want any guy flirting with you. And I can't be with you all the time to make sure none of them try to hurt you." He said taking a deep breath.

Sybyla

I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him, "nobody's going to hurt me," I promised.

"You can't know that."

I kissed him again, "remember my dad?"

"I try not to."

"That's how I know they're not going to hurt me, I'm not so breakable because of him." I played with the colar of his shirt. "I'm more worried about you."

He blinked, "me?"

"People go after secrity guards first when they rob a casino."

"Nobody's going to rob the casino."

I smiled recalling all the metal detectors and things like that the people had to pass through before they could get in, "exactly my point."

Kaleb:

"Syb you are more in danger then me. There are more girls raped or harmed in this town then security guards killed." He argued.

"You worry to much." She smiled.

"I hvae to when I have such a beautiful girl as my girlfriend." He replie.d

Sybyla

I blushed when he said that, "I'm not that beautiful," I insisted looking away shyly.

He took my face in his hands and forced me to look at him, "Sybyla, yes you are."

I threw my arms around him, he was better than a therapist when it came to self esteem. "I'll start carrying around pepper spray if it will make you feel better? And I'll get some frumpy clothes to wear."

Kaleb:

"I'm not sure our bosses will like that." Kaleb smiled kissing her softly. "Yes it will make me feel a tad better, but I still don't like it. Now we have a long day tomorrow, that is after noon. I can't believe we will make so much money and get to sleep in until noon or do whatever until noon. We'll be making a TON!" He grinned spinning her around and sitting down smiling as he held her close. "I love you."

Sybyla

I leaned closer into him, "I love you too." My voice wasn't much but it held sincerity and conviction. "I didn't live before I met you."

"Hmmm?"

"I existed, probably not even that, I managed before you."

"And now?"

"I'm thriving."

Kaleb:

Kaleb smiled chuckling, "You really know what to say." Kaleb smiled kissing her. "Now, what are we going to do until work tomorrow."

"I don't know any ideas?" She smiled. He shrugged,

"I don't know either. I'll do anything as long as your there." He said kissing her softly.

Sybyla

"Wanna try our hand at poker?" I suggested, "Or blackjack or something like that."

He smiled, "sounds like fun."

We laid down and fell asleep not really sure fi we would make it or break it the next morning.

Kaleb:

Kaleb woke up the next morning and smiled as he watched Syb sleeping. He gently stroked her silky hair and smiled as she continued to sleep. She was like an angel from heaven. He smiled, life really was good. She started to stir and he kept from moving at all. He didn't want to wake her up though.


*tears*

Sybyla

I was way too tired to open my eyes, but my mind wouldn't let me just leave them closed. The enternal alarm said it was time to wake up. I did my best to ignore it. I rolled over and bumpped into something, I frowned in protest for a second, but it was warm, and had the feeling of a beloved teddy bear.

Kaleb.

I wasn't protesting now. I leaned into him and drifted back into my doze.
