Paint Me A Love Story Chapter 4

The next morning, Georgia yawned and stretched finding that she couldn't move because of Thomas's arms that were wrapped around her waist tightly holding her back against his chest with his hands resting low on her stomach. Turning around to face him she smiled softly as she took in his face that had taken on a cherub childlike innocence as he slept peacefully while he held her protectively to him. Memories of last night flashed through her mind and she couldn't remember exactly what happened after Thomas had found her on the beach but somehow she knew he had carried her to his bed where he held her all night long keeping her nightmares at bay. Carefully she placed her fingers on milky skin and cupped his cheek in her hand as she lightly traced over his features before trailing her fingers down his jawline and down his neck resting them on his bare chest. Pulling the covers back slightly, she bit back a gasp when she saw that he was dressed only in a pair of fitted black boxer briefs that made her insides clench as her panties dampened at the sight of his beautiful toned body.

"I could get used to this…" She mumbled as her eyes scanned over his chest and down lower until they rested on his boxer briefs that left little to the imagination. Suddenly she jumped and let out a squeak as the door to Thomas's bedroom flung wide open as Minho stalked in and crossed his arms over his chest with his eyebrows shooting high up into his hairline at the sight of them together. "What the fuck is going on here?" He exclaimed loudly making Thomas groan and blink his eyes open before narrowing them at his best friend. "Sleeping obviously. What the fuck do you want Min?" He growled with his voice laced in annoyance. Glancing down he suddenly realized that she was curled up against him with her head buried in his chest and let a slow smirk spread over his lips as he wrapped his arms around her giving her a gentle squeeze. "Good morning, sleepy head. Did you manage to fall back asleep?" He whispered, his hot breath tickling her ear. A light blush spread over her cheeks when she realized how this must look to Minho who was now standing at the foot of the bed awkwardly scratching his head. Raising her head she gave a nod and a small smile. "Good morning to you too. Thank you for being there last night…" She said making him grin happily down at her as he brushed a piece of her hair behind her ears. "I'll always be there. Don't you worry." He said as his voice lilted in a serious tone that was masked with playfulness.

Sitting up, Georgia crossed her legs and patted the bed in front of them motioning for Minho to come join them. Minho blushed and gave the first shy smile that Thomas had ever seen. Kicking off his boots and dropping his holster that held his knives to the floor, he sat cross legged in front of her with his head tilted to the side in a curious expression. "What happened last night?" He said with his voice laced with concern as he looked back and forth between them. Thomas looked down at Georgia who immediately ducked her head in shame and embarrassment. Minho's face scrunched up in confusion as Thomas moved so he was sitting in front of her next to Minho and gently hooked two fingers under her chin and brought her head up so they both could look into her sweet coffee colored eyes. "Hey, look at us. You can tell us anything and we'd never judge you or laugh at you for it. We may not be the most experienced guys in this whole romance thing but we both have big hearts that are just waiting to fill yours with happiness and love. I think Min should know about what happened. And I think when you're ready, we all should sit down and talk about what you saw. Remember, you're with us now. No one's going to hurt you ever again. So anything that happened in the past, will never happen in your future. We all went through horrible life ruining things when we going through the trials. We had to see all of our friends die and live with the guilt knowing we can't go back in time and save them. But even after everything that's happened, we still manage to live day by day and make a life here that's far away from the broken world we've left behind." Minho nodded in agreement and gave her an encouraging smile as she nodded and took a deep breath and started telling them everything that her memories held.

Both men stayed silent and offered words of encouragement and comfort when needed as they listened to the disturbing events that she remembered. When she was finished she let out a startled yelp when both of them pulled her into their arms and held her gently rubbing her back and down her sides. Minho was the first to speak as he rested his chin on top of her head. "Fuck…I didn't know. Next time that happens I want you to wake both of us. Both Thomas and I suffer from night terrors and flashbacks and we tend to wake each other to talk about it and calm down whenever it happens. We'll always be there when you need us, Hun." He whispered as he dropped a kiss onto her hair making her sigh completely in awe and humbled by their kindness so soon after meeting. Thomas ran his hand down her spine making her shiver with a new unknown feeling before it came to rest on her lower back. His lips brushed up against her cheek as he placed a comforting kiss on her copper skin as she nestled into their loving embrace. "We all have memories from our past lives before we went through the trials. Each one is different, and whether they're good or bad it's something you should cherish. Life is short and all we have are memories now of our friends and loved ones that we've lost along the way. I think if Dahhak knew that you were crying over him he'd not be a very happy camper, right Aasma?" He said with a knowing look making her eyes water when he called her by her real name. Pulling back from them she shook her head adamantly. "No. That was the name of the girl who I was in the past. My name now is Georgia. If I'm not to mourn the past, then I want to be free of everything that tied me to it." She said as kept her voice from shaking. Both men nodded and snuggled her in the middle of them as they shared a group hug solidifying their new budding relationship as lovers, but most importantly friends who were there for each other no matter what happened. Together they would face whatever waited for them on the coming horizon as a family.
