Part five- Last Friday Night
The next morning Iain watches Natalie sleeping beside him as he lightly strokes her hair smiling to himself feeling his heart race,
"Stop watching me sleep!"
"How do you know I'm watching you"
"I can tell and it's off putting. I feel self conscious"
"Believe me Nat you have no reason to be!" Iain says lightly kissing her neck putting a smile onto her face as she kisses him fully onto the lips heat rising in both of them.
They both walked casually through the park around mid morning both enjoying the calmness,
"It's peaceful here"
"Yeah I come here when I need to think"
"And you brought me here?"
"Nat I just want you to have somewhere special where you can clear your head" Natalie places her hand into his feeling touched,
"Iain?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think it was him putting up those posters?"
"Who? That so called councillor?"
"Yes. I mean what if he found me...what if he stalks me again...I can't go through all that again!" Iain places both hands onto her face,
"Now since when have I let you down?! Now aslong as I'm breathing that scumbag won't come anywhere near you I promise!" Before pulling her into him as he holds her as she sobs his heart breaking at seeing her so frightened and his anger growing on who someone could put another human through this!
They entered Iain's flat and both feeling drained out lay in each other's arms on the sofa both enjoying just holding each other,
"Nat what you thinking?"
"I'm just thinking how much of a idiot I am sorry I had no controll over my emotions earlier. Did it scare you?"
"Course not will take more than that to scare me Nat!"
"Glad to hear that! How about you? What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking how since meeting you I've felt things I'd never thought I'd feel!"
"Oh and what's that then?!"
"Natalie I don't want to freak you out but I am falling for you" Natalie sat herself up looking stunned her face looking unsure what to say or do,
"Nat it's ok you don't have to feel the same I was just being honest with you that's all darling" Natalie gently moves his hand off hers tears falling down her cheeks,
"Oh god...it's not ok Iain...I can't ever be in a relationship you do realise that?"
"Why not?"
"Can you really not see why?! Look at me Iain I'm a mess and I mess things up...I ruin people's lives...I shouldn't have got you involved with me...crap I've ruined it!" Iain takes hold of her firmly,
"Natalie Thomas you are the most beautiful, kind hearted girl I know and yet you can't see it can you! And because you don't see it you think that everyone else can't either. Well I do Nat and I'm not giving up on you on us cause we are great together and you know that and that is what frightens you!" Natalie kisses him passionately making Iain lift her into his arms as he carries her into the bedroom.
