Distractions- Herophine Story [ON HOLD]

chapter ten

Hayden:

I scan her face as she stays silent. My heart is beating so fucking fast it feels like it could shoot straight out of my chest. Is the rejecting me? Is she thinking in her head how to let me down easily? I mean, how could I blame her? Two days ago I was letting some other girl sit on my lap and feel me up while she was being attacked. That behavior doesn't exactly scream "boyfriend material".

Finally she gives me an answer. And it's the answer I am silently begging for. The most beautiful smile overtakes her face as she nods her head up and down. I lean down to her face and place tiny, sloppy kisses all over her causing her to giggle and playful swat at me.

"Hayden stop! You're making my face all wet." Not the only place I will make you wet. I mentally pat myself on the back for that sly remark that I don't dare tell my sweet, innocent girl. My girl. Damn I like the sound of that.

"You don't like my kisses Elizabeth?" I ask and trail my kisses to her ear, making them less sloppy and shorter. I can hear her breathing hitch. I know Ellie's not ready for anything too sexual, but she doesn't seem to mind it. I also know it down right makes her shutter when I call her Elizabeth.

"Hayden." she breathes as I continue to place kisses all over her neck.

"What is it?" I ask her, moving to kiss her lips. She places her hands on the sides of my head, pulling me closer. I can already feel my boxers growing tighter and I know Ellie has to feel against her stomach, but she's so innocent she probably doesn't even know what it is. And that is such a fucking turn on. No other guy getting to have her like this drives me crazy in the best way.

"Baby..." I breathe. "We need to stop if you don't want to take this any further." I tell her. Her face immediately falls and I realize how I sound. "Babe, I'm fine not going any further. I really am I just don't want to do anything you're not comfortable with." I tell her and plant a kiss on her temple.

"I'll get there eventually." she whispers as she nuzzles into my neck.

"Take as much time as you need baby." I tell her.

"I like that." she says, looking back up at me.

"You like what?" I ask her.

"When you call me that." she blushes.

"Good. Because I like calling you it." I tell her and peck her lips.

We spend the next few hours watching all her favorite Disney movies. I don't even like Disney movies much, but Ellies little laughs make it worth it. I have never felt more content lying with Ellie in my arms. This girl is my happy place. I have never been much of a people person. I'm not an asshole... well not a complete asshole at least, but I just don't get on with many people. I get along with my boys, my coaches, my family, Skyler, and Ellie. Thats about it. And that's all I need. Especially Ellie.

Eventually I feel Ellie fall asleep against me. I'm not sure what to do. Both of us will definitely wake up uncomfortable in the morning if we sleep on the floor all night. I don't want to freak Ellie out if I take her to my bed and sleep in there with her. So I decide to put her in my bed and sleep on the couch. I carefully move out from beside her and then pick her up. I look down at her in my arms as she sleeps and fuck is she beautiful. She even has a tiny smile tugging on the corners of her lips. She's happy even in her state of unconscious. As I start down the hallway she starts moving like she's trying to get away. When I look down at her I see the smile that she once had as been replaced with a look of pure fear. I have only had her in my arms for around half a minute so I don't know what has caused her to panic.
