"But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more. Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door"
"I like you, a lot." Were the only words playing in my head. Like? Wasn't such a bad thing and didn't actually mean I was on the "friends" list, right? Last thing I wanted to be was just a "friend". Of course, we'd talked about our pasts and had opened up to each other. Over times, feelings developed and I felt us growing closer. I'd wake up with a smile on my face, just because I meant there was a possibility of seeing her again. Patients was never something I had, but over time I had learned. No point in rushing things if she was still around, right? Well, that's what I kept telling myself as I ended up at her front door. Running a hand along my neck nervously before I knocked, trying to shake the butterflies in the pit of my stomach. "Collin, you came!" A laugh escaped my lips as she tugged me inside and led me to the couch. Movie night. Nothing got better then this. "You were expecting someone else?" She shook her head before pushing me onto the couch, curling into my side. This, this was normal for us. Just two friends, watching movies and enjoying each other's company. "Of course not. Just wasn't sure you'd come." Rolling my eyes I quickly grabbed the remote, hitting play before getting settled on the couch, my hand slowly running along her arm comfortingly. "Have I ever not shown up? I know I'm an ass, but I would never not show up." I couldn't help but slightly shiver at the feel, her nose running along my jaw slightly as she stayed curled close to my side. "Mmmm, I really hope not. I enjoy your company too much" Her words cut off the moment my fingers dug into her hip, unable to control my bodies reaction. Leah was never one to show much affection, I'd like to think I was an exception to that. Every now and then, her guard would drop and she would let me in. But this? Allowing herself to be physically close to me, like this? It wasn't something I had experienced, except for maybe in my dream. "Leah, what are you doing?" I couldn't hide the moan that escaped my lips as she moved to straddle my lap, taking both my hands in hers before she slid them behind her back and leaned forward, brushing her lips along my jaw. "Shhhh, I wanna try something." Before I could ask questions or say anything, her lips were on mine. A moan escaped my lips instantly, my arms closing and my grip tightening around her. Perfection. I'd dreamed so many times of this moment, but nothing compared. Her taste, the way she felty pressed against me consumed me in that moment. I loved her, there was no doubt in my mind. My heart was hers, there was nowhere else in this world I would rather be. "Leah" was all I could get out as she rolled her hips against mine, causing a growl to escape my lips, her hands tangling into my hair slightly, her voice mumbled against my lips. "I love you Collin, I do. I just, I just need you to be patient with me and continue loving me. Can you do that?" My eyes widened and locked on hers instantly as she rested her forehead against mine, both of us trying to catch our breath. Nodding was the only thing I could do. There was so much I wanted to say, but I didn't want to ruin the moment. I would continue being what she needed to me. Whether it was just a friend, someone to just listen or whatever else.
