Now, she was holding my hand tightly! She really wouldn't let go... with that big smile of hers... just a happy brat! How could she be so shameless? And what was I supposed to do?

"Hey, just let go...you're not a little kid anymore!"

That's exactly what was making this whole situation that dangerous...

As an answer, she just tightened her grip. Oh god, stop mocking me!

She wasn't smiling anymore. She was sleeping peacefully, with a somewhat concentrated look, like an angel on praying duty.

She definitely wasn't a little girl anymore, and it would grow harder and harder for me to stay with her in such an innocent way! At that moment, this might have not been the only thing growing harder...

WHAT SHOULD I DO? Yeah, right, do not panic! Try to think of something. You should find something, aren't you the O' so great Daisy? Well, right now, you're just some FUCKED UP MIND FUCKING TALKING TO ITSELF! Teru, just take a look at what you've done to me. Look at what I've become. I might go bald as well!

I could feel the happiness coming from her touching my hand mixing up with the sharp pain of not touching her more. I was dying to hug her, to feel her skin beneath my fingers. She was calling my body... she was calling my soul. I wanted her so much! She had to be mine.

As my body began to shake with desire, her subtle voice came to my ears. A quick check confirmed that she was still sleeping soundly. What was that? Was I going insane?

And then, the same sound again... someone was laughing. It was a warm and innocent laughter; it was Teru's laughter. I was there, sitting next to her, my head full of her sweet voice, madly in love with the singing tones coming from her, smiling like an ass at such a pure beauty, and kind of ashamed of my previous filthy thoughts.

I had to take this opportunity to cool down a little.

She might have been my sleeping beauty, but it was out of the question my scaring her by being the beast!

Moreover, this wasn't the first time. We had already spent a night together, sharing the same bed, and it was more or less under the same circumstances. So, what was I so afraid of?

I stood there for a few minutes more, my hand covered by hers, her fingers periodically squeezing mine, before lying down right next to her, always looking at her face. I could see her chest moving up and down as she was breathing. She truly was a master-piece; God could be proud!

I shut my eyes for what was meant to be seconds, and...my mind was drifting...

I fell asleep! As my mind was busy trying to fix some kind of data error to understand what had happened, I went on opening my eyes.

A pair of brown eyes was looking at me. I might have reacted strangely since they started looking at me with concern. Who is it? Where am I? Am I awake? I could't see anything except for those eyes. The rest of the room was to blurry for me to recognize. My mind was going frantic as I felt something warm and soft stroking my cheek. The room suddenly lit up, and Teru was right here, her big brown eyes staring at me with amusement, few locks of her long hair crossing her face, her slim arm connecting her fingertip on my skin to the rest of her tiny body. She was just to much.

My eyes fell to her mouth. She wasn't even smiling. At that moment, I swear I heard my heart break. The urge to kiss her was big... but my resolve was intact, I wasn't going to scare her. I put on a soft smile... She smiled too, taking back her hand.

"Morning!" was all she said in that singing tone of hers.

"Mor...ning...?" I returned hesitantly, somehow surprised by her previous statement. That caused her to giggle. She was so adorable! I wanted to hug her so much. That might have been written all over my face because, in the blink of an eye, she was grabbing my shirt with her small hands and crashing her face against my chest. As I was trying to recompose myself, I became aware of the fact that her entire body was pressed against mine.

"Thank you for being there, thank you for staying with me! I've missed my Daisy so much... Thank you for not leaving again"

It made my heart squeeze, and I hugged her in response. I hugged her to the point of crushing her. I hugged her this time for all the times I had restricted myself. I wouldn't care if she could breathe or not, I was taking revenge for my yearning heart that I had always ignored.

I buried my face in her hair. Her scent was filling up my soul. She was perfect. I could have died at that very moment.

I finally loosen my grip, kissing her hair. Teru was there, in my arms, slightly shaking. She made way for her face to turn up, her eyes meeting mine, blushing harder every second. Her hair was messy. She was sexy! There was no way for me to consider her as a kid anymore.

"You're so tantalizing! I could die..." fuck, this one wasn't supposed to be said out loud.
