Bella POV:
I sat in the chair of our room. I was exhausted. I hadn't slept much and I was still angry at myself from the fight we had last night. I watched at Steve slept peacefully. His long lashes perfect. His breathing was soft. I knew he was right about last night. I knew I would totally regret it later. I was just frustrated. Over everything. I missed home. I was loving Hawaii but I missed my family. I hadn't been home in two years, and the loss of the shooter last night just made me loose it even more. Sure, I wasn't rooting for him to live but I didn't want to loose the guy either. I needed him to live. I watched at Steve started to move around I his sleep. I looked at the alarm lock and it was nearly six. He would be awake anytime. I loved this man. And I think part of me fell in love him even more when he had denied me last night. He really did care of me and my feelings. I smiled. I wanted to just curl up next to him and tell him that I was sorry and he was right and everything would be fine. I closed my eyes and rested my head on my knees. They were pulled up to my chest. I might as well use them.
"Bella?" Stevens rough voice pulled me back to reality. "What are you doing over there?"
"Thinking." I said.
He shook his head and pulled the blankets back, scooting back. I smile and walk over to him, and sliding in. Letting him spoon me. His hand rested on my hip as his fingers moved up and down. Giving me a chill up an down my spine. His breath hot on my skin. He smelled like perfection. "Steve?"
"Mmm?" He took to kissing my neck.
"I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have brought anything up about your past relationship. And I'm sorry for pushing you."
He held on to my tighter. "It's okay. I was angry but I think it's because I'm afraid."
I was stunned. What the hell would he be afraid of? I turned my body so I was facing him, our limbs wrapping around one another. "Why?"
He looked me up and down with his eyes, his long lashes resting on his face. "I'm afraid that if I give you that part of me, you'll leave….just like Catherine did."
I tried to give him the best smile that I could. "Oh Steve…" I wrapped my arms tighter around him. "….I wouldn't leave. I love you and I'm not going anywhere."
He smiled. "I know. It's just a weird glitch in my head. I'm use to people abandoning me."
"That won't ever happen. I won't ever leave you, it would have to be a act of God to make me leave you."
He kissed my lips. Forgetting about morning breath. "I love you too. But I still want to wait."
I laughed and bit my lip. "Me too Sailor."
He smiled wide, showing off his beautiful teeth. "Then I should move."
"Why?"
"Because if I don't remove myself from you then I'm afraid I'll come all over you."
I laughed out as he got up and pulled clothes on for his morning run and swim. "I'll see you soon."
I smiled. "I'll be here." He winked.
