Safe

Then she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, in the dark, next to her.??
"What ...?" she said.??
"Shh...you're dreaming. Dreaming about me again," he said.??
She leaned back onto her pillow.??
She could see his eyes in the dark. He reached out and wiped her face gently with his thumb, tracing her tears.??
"Do I always cry?" she said.??

"You know how I feel about you, don't you?" he whispered. He said her name.??
"I think I do. I'm not totally sure," she said.??
"Move over," he said.??
She moved to give him room, and he stretched out on the bed next to her. For the first time in a long time, she didn't think about fucking him. She didn't think about anything physical. She didn't want things. She just felt things. Felt them running through her.??
"Hold me. Will you?" she said.??
"Of course," he said.??
They were face to face on the bed. She had no idea what she looked Keçiören Escort like. She didn't care.??

Her hands moved around his neck. Still, she didn't want to rip his clothes off. The pull was somewhere else. It was in her heart.??

He said her name.??
"I think you are amazing. And talented. And brave. And honest," he said.??He touched her face.??
"And beautiful. Inside and out," he said.??
Her eyes filled with tears again, but they didn't fall. ??
"Shh. This is supposed to be helping," he said.??
"It is. It is," she said.??
"I don't know what there is to do. Or what we should do. Probably nothing. I just wanted to tell you how I feel. I think you needed to know tonight," he said.??
She Etimesgut Escort closed her eyes and smiled. She was all right with all of that. ??" I don't want you to be sad. You should be happy. All day. Every day. You deserve it," he said.??

She was so exhausted.??
"Will you hold me until I go back to sleep? I think I can sleep now," she said. She could breathe him in with every sleepy breath. It was intoxicating. A spreading relaxation moved through her arms. Through her back. ??"Of course," he said. He pulled her to him. Her head was at his chest. She could hear his heart beating for the first time. He stroked her hair like she was a child.??
She was so warm in his arms. She realized that she felt amazingly safe. It was one of the best things about him. He always made her feel safe.??
She drifted off to the most relaxing sleep she had felt in months, his hand strong on her back, his other stroking her hair, surrounded by him.??
She whispered his name.??
"Yes," he answered, saying hers.??
"I am so fucking in love with you," she said.??
There was a moment of quiet.??
He pulled her back for a second to look in her eyes one more time. ??
"I know," he said.
He kissed her forehead.??
"Now sleep," he said.??
The End.
