Chapter Twenty-Five
Third Person POV
Makayla wasn't sure exactly when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, she was in bed with Crowley sleeping next to her peacefully. When she sat up, her head began to pound and the memories from the night before invaded her mind. She had no idea how long they'd stay they way they were, but she knew her head hurt from the amount of crying she'd done. She looked back down at Crowley at felt a wave of relief sweep over her.
Laying back down, she rested her head on Crowley's chest and reveled in being able to lay here with the man she loved and the fact that he hadn't left the night before made her heart swell. "You're thinking too much, love." she heard and then someone running their hand up her arm. "I'm sorry. Just...worried, I guess." she mumbled, burying her face in Crowley's chest, not wanting to move.
Crowley was silent for a moment before he sat up, dragging Makayla up with him. "Worried about what, darling?" he asked, cupping her chin and forcing her to look at him. It was at that moment, when he looked into her eyes, her saw how much regret she truly felt for what she'd done. Before Makayla could answer his question, he leaned forward and captured her lips. Makayla squeaked in surprise, but didn't pull away because she wasn't sure where they stood. Crowley pulled away after a moment and rested his forehead against hers, sighing.
"I'm not angry, love. I can tell just by the look in your eyes how truly upset you are about all of this. I just want you to understand why I was so upset. I thought I'd lost you." he told her, his voice barely a whisper as he shut his eyes and Makayla could swear she heard desperation in his voice. She couldn't see his eyes and couldn't tell what he was really feeling. "Crowley, please look at me." she pleaded, cupping the older demon's cheek.
Crowley opened his eyes and Makayla gave him a teary-eyed smile. "I wasn't leaving you. I was going to come back." she told him, stroking his cheek and feeling the stubble scratch her palm. "I love you and would never think of leaving you permanently." she added, leaning forward and kissing him with as much passion as she could muster. Crowley kissed her back with just as much gusto and when they parted, her grinned at her. "Well then, darling, we can't stay in bed all day. As much as I'd love to, we need to finish the job you've started." he told her.
Makayla smiled and threw her arms around the older demon's neck. Crowley chuckled and hugged her back, glad to have her back in his arms.
A/N: Filler chapter! I said I'd update two more chapters today and I've gotten one down. Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, but I didn't think it would fit in with the actual story line, so I've made it a filler chapter until I can finish the next chapter. Speaking of the next chapter, it should be up sometime later today. I'm not to sure when, but I promise I'll try and get it up tonight. Please don't forget to review! I adore them!
