Worth Every Second

by Jocelyne Soto

You’re confident on the outside, but how is that working for you on the inside?

I’m most likely going to die alone with fifty billion cats.

If only I could explain it to you, girl with pretty eyes, if only.

Because that body deserves to be cherished and handled with care

But know that you will be beyond every expectation I set and spending a single second with you will be well worth it.

“And do you want a boyfriend?” I snort. “Why? Are you offering, Jacobi?” “I mean, if you wanted me to, yeah, I would offer.”

“When it comes to me, you have nothing to be scared of. I promise you that. Whether it’s just one kiss or more, I will never hurt you.”

“That was me being confident in myself. That was me not caring about societal norms and finally accepting myself for the way my body looks. I was happy to share that side of myself with you because for the first time in my life I had someone that didn’t see me for my body structure or my weight, they saw me. For a short period of time, I felt beautiful because I was finally able to see myself through someone else’s eyes.”

That I saw her as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and loved all the curves her body had to offer.

Selena is anything but a distraction. She’s… she is everything and more.

Any man should be fucking lucky that you decided to grace them with your presence.

“Yes, you can run over whatever professor you want,”

“Then we will find you a boy that is just like the ones you read about to pick up all the pieces and put you back together.”

“You are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. I want to mark every inch of you as mine. You are fucking beautiful and I will tell you that every single day for as long as you let me.”

I spent a good ten minutes marveling at the man for knowing what to do when I was losing myself in front of him. He brought me to the one place that I once told him I would go to that would help me find myself again.

That’s when I realized that it took Hunter Jacobi only a month to make me fall in love with him.

“I still want you. I will want you and everything that you come with. Because I love you.”

Selena Montez is worth every second of my life and I will spend forever showing her, just in case she forgets.
