"Norma, I can walk up a flight of stairs." you say as she supports you up the stairs.

"I know but I want to make sure you get into bed safely."

As soon as you enter her bedroom the memory of the only and last time you where in this room comes flooding back to you.

"Okay come lay down." she says patting on the bed.

"I have some water right here for you, are you hungry? I can make you something to eat, I mean, I don't want to brag but you need something good to eat after that hospital stuff they let pass as food."

She's cute when she rambles and you smile as you lay down on the bed. Carefully sorting the pillows so you can sit up a little she sits down next to you. Taking your hand in hers she kisses it softly. You look at her, she's in pain, you can see it in her eyes as they fill up with tears and she tries to hold them back desperately.

"Norma are you-"

"I'm making you a sandwich." she cuts you off, while she gets up from the bed and leans down to kiss your forehead before she leaves the room.

You know you should stay in bed but when you hear the voices downstairs growing louder curiosity wins. Trying to get up you feel the dizziness return as you lift yourself up from the bed. Steading yourself you hold on to the wall while you slowly make your way towards the bedroom door.

You pick up what seems to be the end of an argument between Norman and Norma.

"But why is she sleeping in you bed mother?!"

"I'll explain later Norman! Now stop being such a baby about this and get your bag, Dylan is picking you up in 10 minutes and you are staying with him until she's better!"

Hearing Norman come up the stairs you hurry back to the bed.

A few minutes later you hear the front door slam shut and Norma appears in the doorway holding a tray with, a cup of tea, a sandwich and your meds.

"Are you okay hun, you look a little flushed."

"I'm fine, I just felt a little dizzy a few minutes ago."

She puts down the tray with food and sits down next to you, gently touching your forehead.

"You're a little warm, do you want me to call the doctor?"

"No I'm okay, really." you reply, giving her a weak smile.

"Okay, but promise me you'll eat, take your meds and try to get some sleep."

"I promise."

She places another kiss on your forehead and walks up to the door

"Call me if you need anything, I'll be finishing things up at the motel and then I'll come back to keep an eye on you."

"Okay." you reply while taking a bite out of the sandwich.

She smiles before turning around and making her way downstairs. You eat, drink up your tea and take your meds before drifting off into a light sleep. When you wake up you find Norma sitting next to you, watching you.

"Hi" you say in a sleepy voice.

"Hi" she replies softly.

"Can you hold me?" the question leaving your lips before you even gave it any thought.

"Sure hun."

She scoots closer, pulling your head into her chest while she gently strokes your hair. You just listen to her heartbeat, her breathing, and start to relax in her arms when suddenly her breath hitches. Looking up you see a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"Norma.." you begin softly "Please tell me what's going on."

She sniffles, trying to pull herself together again when you reach up and touch her face, making her look into your eyes. The moment your eyes meet you see it all, her worries her pain and she sees yours.

"Please, talk to me." you whisper and she breaks.

"Hey, shhhhh. It's okay Norma, it's okay. I've got you."

Shifting positions you bring her face into your chest and wrap your arms around her trembling body. You feel your own heart breaking from the sound of her uncontrollable sobbing. It sounds like she's kept all of this in for a long time.

"Norma, I'm here, talk to me." you say kissing the top of her head.

"I'm done." she says in between sobs "I'm done."

You pull her away just enough to see her face and look at her.

"Those would've been my last words to you if you had died." she says before she continues sobbing.

"Oh Norma." you say pulling her tightly against your chest.

"But I didn't die, I'm here, I'm okay. Slightly bashed up but I'm fine." you continue as you gently rub her back.

"But I'm not fine!" She says her voice suddenly louder and upset when you feel her pulling away from you.

"I'm not fine! I-" she stops, wiping the tears from her face she lets out a loud sigh.

"I couldn't stand the thought of losing you before and then the accident happened and I thought I lost you when you were unconscious and fell into my arms and-"

She stops because her voice breaks, she swallows hard and gets off the bed.

You keep watching her as she begins pacing back and forth in the bedroom. She starts to mumble and it's hard to understand what she's saying. Her pacing becomes faster and so does her mumbling, her breathing becomes heavier and you throw the covers aside and walk up to her. Grabbing her arms you stop her in her tracks.

"I love you okay. I do." her words spill out before she starts to cry again, pulling you in hard while she hugs you tightly.

"If anything had happened to you I would never been able to forgive myself. I love you. So much."

She's still sobbing and you feel your own tears streaming down your face. This was all you ever wanted to hear. All you ever needed to hear.

"I love you too Norma."

Gently pulling yourself out of her tight hug you look at her trying to read her face.

"I, I still can't go public with you. Not yet, not with Norman and the way he is, but I do want to keep seeing you and only you."

Her eyes red and puffy, her lips swollen and her cheeks flushed from both crying and just admitting all of this to you. You smile, gently cup her warm wet cheeks and kiss her ever so softly. She kisses you back, it's soft and gentle and it lasts until you both need to break for air. You smile again and she returns your smile.

"Thank you." she whispers

" For what?"

"For loving me."

Feeling your heart melt at those words you want to hug her once more but start to feel dizzy from being on your feet too long.

"We need to get you back to bed."

She says, supporting your body as she guides you to the bed.

"Actually, is it okay if I take a bath?"

"But you could get dizzy and drown and-"

"Will you take it with me?"

She pauses for a second, her eyes finding yours before she answers

"Okay, I'll run us a bath."

Making your way to the bathroom she supports you every step of the way. Turning on the tap, she lets the water fill the tub while she helps you get out of your clothes. Her hands are gentle and caring and she is careful to not touch your bruises. She helps you step into the warm water, making sure you are sitting steady before she starts taking of her own clothes.

You watch her undress, sliding out of her skirt, unbuttoning her blouse and finally stepping out of her lace panties and letting her bra fall to the floor. Swallowing hard you notice you've been staring, she is beautiful and you realize you've never seen her completely naked before, but god she is perfect. Your heart is now pounding in your chest, you feel your breath quicken and cant help but notice the familiar tingle between your legs that only she makes you feel.

She knows you've been watching her, but says nothing as she carefully steps into the water and slides behind you. Making sure you are sitting down between her legs, your back rests against her chest while she slides her arms around you and she feels you tremble.

You feel her hard nipples press against your back and it feels overwhelming. Trying to relax seems impossible especially when you feel her lips on your skin, slowly placing butterfly kisses on your shoulders and neck. You can't help the soft moan escaping your lips.

"Will you tell me if it hurts?" she whispers.

"Okay." you manage to breathe out.

"I'll be gentle."

She says before moving her hands up to your chest, cupping your breast as she softly begins to massage them. You gasp when she rolls your nipples between the tips of her fingers.

"Ah.."

"Good Ah or bad Ah?"

"Good, I promise."

"Okay."

Her lips are on your neck again, nipping at the skin while one hand finds its ways from your breasts to the place between your thighs. She gently slides her fingers between your folds waiting only a few seconds before she pushes two fingers inside. Letting out a moan you thrust against her hand finding a comfortable rhythm to move with her as she begins to move her fingers. Her thumb starts rubbing your clit while her other hand still gently squeezes your breast, teasing your nipple every so often. She feels you're getting close and with her lips still on your neck she kisses her way up to your ear. "Cum for me baby." and you let go. It's everything at once and you feel your entire body tremble as your orgasm washes over you. Once your body relaxes she holds you and you stay in her comforting embrace until the bathwater runs cold.

After the bath she helps you get back into bed, before putting on her own nightgown and climbing in behind you. As she spoons you, you let out a soft sigh.

"Hm?" she hums.

"I love you." you whispers.

She nuzzles your neck and brings her lips up to you ear

"I love you too." she whispers back.

You smile as she kisses your cheek, feeling complete and happy for the first in a very long time.

Even when you don't know what the future holds, all you needed to know is that she loves you as much as you love her. That she wants to be with you and only you, that she'll allow you to love her. It was never a game to her, she was just struggling with her own feelings too. Her life has never been easy, and she thought that she could do this while keeping her feelings at bay. But with you she couldn't, she cared and loved and was too scared to do anything about it. She tried to fight a feeling thinking it would be for the best when all she did was hurt you and herself, until she didn't. When she thought she'd loose you it hit her all at once and she had to admit it to herself and to you.

Closing your eyes the two you slowly drift off into a deep slumber.
