Apologies for slow update.
Thank you to all the people who reviewed, I enjoyed reading your responses ^^

You didn't know why, whenever you cried from heart ache he would be just around the corner. His warmth and gentle comfort was soothing to your fragile and aching heart.
You knew the words that escaped his mouth were empathetic, he knew how you felt and he knew all the right words to make you believe everything that happened didn't matter anymore.
When he was with you, the world slowed down, almost coming to a standstill.
You were able to think about things more clearly.
You could hear your heart thumping inside your chest, his slow breathing and the strong scent of cologne emitting from his shirt that you senselessly breathed into.
"I'm sorry Dino…" Your voice was soft and muffled.
His arms simply made its way around your body, pulling you closer into his toned chest as his head gently rested upon your head.
"I ruined Valentine's Day for you…."
You felt his head shake in disagreement. "No… I wasn't planning to do anything special with anyone anyways."
"Still, sorry."
"Hey, don't be like that." He slowly pushed you back, allowing him to see your damp and makeup-smeared face. A tender smile appeared on his lips. "How about you spend Valentine's day with me? I'll cheer you up, yeah?"
You managed a small laugh and nodded as you wiped your face dry from the tears that previously stained your cheeks.
Unknowingly, Dino's heart was in strain from the way you broke so easily, and it only tore him more apart when he could not be the one to mend your broken heart. The thought of ruining a perfect friendship was plaguing his mind, and that was a risk he could not take. But little did Dino know that after today, you had realised he was the only man you could ever trust your heart with.
Reviews are appreciated :] Thanks for reading!
