TIFFANY'S POV:
It had been a long month-and-a-half since the doctor had told us Mum's cancer was terminal, and finally, it had taken her. She'd gone in her sleep and wasn't in any pain according to the doctor, so that was something to be thankful for…
JUSTIN'S POV:
"Hey, there you are…" I sighed as I poked my head around Allie's bedroom door, seeing Tiffany sat on the end of her bed "What're you doing?"
"Picking something to take to the funeral director's," she informed me "I don't want her wearing what she was wearing when she went in."
"Do you want some help, or do you want me to leave you to it?" I inquired
"Can you stay?" she asked "I just need to know you're here."
"I'm right here." I informed her
TIFFANY'S POV:
"Why don't you try and get some sleep?" Justin suggested "You've barely slept since it happened."
"Yeah, I might, actually." I replied as I dragged my body off of the sofa later that afternoon "Will you come and lay with me though?"
He nodded his head and I held my hand, him taking it willingly. Leading him up the stairs, we made our way into my bedroom and he shut the door behind us, both of us moving to the bed…
JUSTIN'S POV:
I wound my arms around Tiffany's waist as I heard her begin to cry, her body turning into mine, her head resting against my chest as she continued to cry. Running my hand through her hair rhythmically, I pressed kisses to the top of her head every now and again, trying to soothe her best I could…
"Will you do something for me?" Tiffany questioned a few minutes later
"Anything." I replied
"Will you take the pain away?" she inquired
"I can't do that, Tiff." I sighed "I wish I could but I can't."
"There is one way," she replied "and you know what that is."
"But it's not going to happen. It'll only mask it, and when it's over, as much as I want to, you'll just be hurting as much as you are now." I informed her
"Would you change your mind if I said I wanted it?" she questioned
"I don't want to take advantage…" I admitted
"You wouldn't be," she replied "I want this. I want you. I need you."
TIFFANY'S POV:
Justin softly pressed his lips against mine and I moved myself closer to him, winding my arms around his neck and pressing my body against his as I deepened the kiss, him pulling away a minute later…
"If you want this, you need to let me take the lead." he informed me "Let me look after you."
"Okay." I replied
Moving away from him, I lay on my side of the bed and smiled warmly as Justin moved to straddle me, his fingers beginning to unbutton my blouse…
JUSTIN'S POV:
I entwined my hands with Tiffany's, resting them either side of her head as I slid into her, her hips lifting in response, her bare chest pressing against mine. Pressing my lips against hers, I slowly began to move, our kisses becoming sporadic as our hips continued to move in time, her body tensing beneath me a few minutes later…
"Thank you." she whispered against the skin of my neck
"What do you want to do now?" I questioned
"Just lay here for a while." she informed me as she pulled the duvet further around us "Just forget everything and everyone."
"Okay." I replied, pressing my lips against her forehead
Was that the right thing for them to do, do you think? Do you think it could cause a bit of awkwardness or not?
