I decided to update this because I'm bored and also because I'm really un creative so continued this... Thanks to Sherlollipops, Seren and x snow-pony x for reviewing. - Annie x
They both remain in the hug until she pulls away, 'Sorry' she says while rubbing at her eyes with her sleeve, 'It reminds me of him'.
He doesn't know who she means by him but he moves his arms to his side and tells her 'I don't expect you to do anything you're not ready for'.
She nods, it seems like one of the only things she can do right now.
'Do you want to rest?' he asks, although he knows the answer will be yes.
She nods again then adds 'After I've had a shower',
he watches her walk over to the staircase then look back at him, he follows her upstairs and walks into the bedroom that they had been sharing for the past few weeks, he makes the bed for her and waits until she returns from the shower wrapped in a towel.
'I can get a mattress and sleep on the floor if it makes things easier for you' he offers,
she shakes her head, knowing full well that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
They get changed and climb into bed, she waits a minute before turning to face him, 'I… I'm terrified' she utters as he reaches out and holds her.
He brings them closer together in a half-hug, 'I won't let anything happen to you' he promises, to both her and himself.
She cuddles up to him, now feeling safe, and whispers 'Thank you', he tightens the hug, never wanting to let go.
'Let go' she instructs -the tight hug made her panic -
he lets go and moves away slightly 'Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you' he says.
'It's ok' she replies and moves closer again, she falls asleep leaning against him, he watches her for ten minutes to make sure she's ok before falling asleep himself. He has never felt happier, despite the tragic situation, he has the only woman he's ever truly loved and he knows he's never letting her go.
He wakes up hours before her but doesn't move so as not to disturb her, she wakes up three hours later and looks around. She stiffens feeling his arms around her but relaxes slightly when she realises who it is.
'Good morning lovey' he says, he always calls her that when he wakes up with her.
She panics and asks 'What?'.
He sees the fear return to her eyes, 'Morning lovey' the man repeats.
'He called me that when he left' she explains after a long pause,
'Sorry' he hugs her and promises not to say it again.
'Can we talk about other things?' she asks, he nods and kisses her. She panics again and starts breathing faster, he immediately lets go and moves away.
'Sorry, I'd never do anything to hurt you… I love you' he tells her when she's calm again,
'I love you too' she says then asks after a few minutes 'Can I tell you something?',
'Anything' he confirms.
The woman nervously fiddles with her nails before saying 'Never mind',
'Ok' the man replies, he knows that whatever it is she'll tell him in her own time. They both sit for a while before the man pulls his girlfriend closer, she lets out a small gasp.
'It's ok, I won't hurt you' he reassures.
