Calleighs POV

"you dont mind if i change do you?" i ask him. I really like this dress but my feet really, really hurt

"Sure go ahead. Ill be here." he says

I go up to my room and I pull out my purple Victoria's Secret yoga pants, and a pink tee shirt. I have other pants, but it think since these have the VS logo, I can let his mind wander

When I come back down, he's just sitting on my couch. He's staring at my bible. My favorite one. It's got black binding, with gold writing

"You like?" I ask. He jumps, which makes me laugh

"Sorry, I just never took you for a religious person"

"I'm really not. But that's the one my grandmother gave me before she died. She was religious. I just keep it out so I can remember her."

"Oh. Ok. I'm sorry." he says, he looks at his hands

"Coffees ready"

We get our coffee then sit down. We just talk about our friends. I learned that his friends are scattered across the country. Most of them are bohemians in New York. Two of them are Criminal Profilers stationed in Quantico. One of them is a forensic pathologist prodigy at the Jeffersonian institute, and the other is a DNA analyst turned CSI on Las Vegas. His whole family is dead. He was born because his father raped his mother, his father committed suicide, his mother died in child birth. He was in the orphanage down the block until he was adopted by an elderly couple. His sister died of a brain tumor a year after he was adopted, his brother died in a DWI accident, his mother died of a heart attack, and his father fell down the stairs and broke his neck. After I heard this, I just wanted to take him in my arms and cuddle him; I wanted to wash his pain away. As he told me all of this, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"I'm so sorry" I say

"No. its fine. I've coped and I've moved on. It was just hard at first because it all happened in less that a year or two apart." he just looked at me, and I saw something in his eyes. Not sorrow, not pain, but comfort. He started to lean towards me...

"Ryan" I whispered, his hand found my hair, and he brushed it away from my face. Before I knew it, I was leaning over him, and we were less than a centimeter apart.

"I love you" he said to me

"I love you too" I said

Our lips came crashing together and I was on fire

I have never felt as good with another man as I felt with Ryan.

All the passion, all the nerves, and the pain that we had came crashing together in that one night. it is a night i will never forget, and i am truly grateful that it happened
