A/N.: Hi! Here's another chapter (A bit short I know, but the next one I going to be longer, I promise!) I hope you like it :)
Chapter 2:
Peter arrived at Megan's apartment no later than 10 minutes. All through the drive he had been thinking about her, that she didn't deserve this much sorrow, that it wasn't fair, hadn't she suffered enough?
He rang the doorbell and a few moments later the door opened to reveal a much smaller Megan, as she was not wearing her usual heels, but her whole appearance was different; she wore shorts, a white T-shirt and no make-up. He marveled at her beauty. Peter also noticed that she had been crying again. Megan stepped aside and let him in.
"How about we sit down for a while?" he asked. Megan smiled a little "Okay, right this way." she led him to her living room and sat down on her couch. Peter followed her example and looked at her with a comforting expression on his face "What happened?" Megan looked to the floor "I had a nightmare. Now that I said it out loud I feel stupid." Peter took her hands "You shouldn't, tell me about it, maybe that helps" Megan looked at him "Are you sure?" she asked unsure. Peter smiled at her encouragingly. "Alright, when I'm having nightmares I usually dream about the day my father died and the policeman telling me, but this time it was different"she swallowed "I was again 12 years old but this time nobody noticed me and I followed the paramedics up to my fathers study and then there was so much blood- I couldn't stand seeing my father's dead body" tears streamed down her cheeks "Peter, it was so awful, I woke up screaming- I've never seen my father's dead body, but it all seemed so real, I-" that was it, she couldn't take it anymore, her whole body was shaking again and the tears didn't stop running down her cheeks and once again Peter enveloped her in his strong arms. "Ssh, it'll be okay, I'm here, you're not alone" For the next 10 minutes he continued holding her, gently stroking her hair, until her crying had subsided.
Megan felt protected with him around, he always knew what to say to make her feel better. She looked up at him "Sorry, I got your shirt wet, again" Peter laughed "It's okay, I can take it." He took her face in his palms and brushed the remainders of her tears away. Megan felt herself shiver under his tender touch.
Thinking about it, she had been feeling differently around him, felt shivers running through her body, when they would accidentally touch, she hadn't felt this way often before, but was she really... no that couldn't be true, he was her partner. Megan tried to concentrate, but she couldn't stop staring at his face, his lips, how would they feel? She looked down to get a hold of herself and as she looked up she found Peter staring at her intently, with those attractive blue eyes, she felt herself shiver again, but then it happened, Peter spoke up: "Megan, you're so beautiful... I know that you probably don't feel the same, but I can't go on without telling you." He looked up at her and she encouraged him to continue with a, albeit confused, nod of her head. "I never thought this moment would come and I'm not one for cheesy pick-up lines, so I'll just tell you the truth and the truth is, that I've fallen in love with you Megan, and not only with the tough Megan Hunt you are on the outside, but also with the fragile part of you and it makes me happy to see that you sometimes allow me to see that soft side of you, it really does." Megan had tears in her eyes "Oh, Peter... I-I don't know what to say, but I think... I've fallen in love with you, too." Peter smiled widely "What? Really?" Megan laughed and moved closer to him "Yeah, really." He looked deeply in her eyes, took her head in his palms and kissed her.
It was a slow and tender kiss, but soon it grew more heated as they started exploring each other, they only broke apart when the need for air came up.
After a while Megan suggested to move to her bedroom, as the lack of sleep was finally getting to her "Megan, are you sure, you want me to stay, I mean what if someone comes by?" Megan smiled, he was always so caring "Yes I'm sure...You make me feel safe, please stay." She almost whispered the last part. Peter was moved by her admission "Of course I'll stay and protect you." he grinned. Megan smiled "You're my hero." and kissed him sweetly on the lips.
They got into bed and snuggled close to each other and fell into a peaceful slumber, dreaming about each other.
Please review and tell me what you think! It would really make my day!
