There were a million reasons why I did not want that to happen, but I went for the one line of persuasion that was most likely to work.
"I do not want you getting kicked out of school for an eighteenth time." I spoke while smiling up at him "Because believe it or not, I kind of like you here with me, Lurch."
My smile seemed to do the trick because I could see a ghost of a smile on his lips. The big arms around my waist pulled me closer to his chest as he kissed my head.
A voice that I recognise as Brennan called from next to us "I am gonna go now."
Laughing as Brennan scurries away, I peered up at Stone's happier face and asked, "Are you okay now?"
"I should not have lost control like that." He bit out, his voice depending on determinedness "Not with you that close."
I shook my head and decided to change the topic "I once read this article about how to calm yourself when you are mad. To relax you need to list stuff for a few minutes. Nothing elementary like the alphabet but something with loads of different answers. Like name countries or animals."
His grip on my hips strengthened once again like he was scared that I was going somewhere or that I was going to be stolen away.
He whispered into my hair "I could name all the things that I love about you."
I hummed to myself in content because I could never get enough of hearing those words from his lips.
I smiled wickedly up at him before teasing "I said a list for a few minutes. Not one that lasts all day."
Stone finally relaxed completely, chuckling while kissing my head again "You are wrong because my list would last a lifetime."

I watched the veins in the muscular tattooed arms bulge out while Stone turned something with a spanner inside the hood of the car.
My bare legs swung in a rhythm while I sat on one of the worktops of the car repair shop. I had spent almost all day in the same position, and I was not at all bored. In fact, I loved seeing Stone in his element.
Even if he kept turning his head over his shoulder to peer at me every two seconds.
"Can you pass me a hand-drill, Medusa?" The rough voice said, meeting my eye for the hundredth time that minute.
I reached into the toolbox next to my butt and searched for the hand drill before I threw it over to him. He caught it with one hand and continued his job on the broken car.
"I am getting so good at all this mechanic stuff." I announced, very pleased with myself "Soon I will be better than you."
