The Secrets That Bring Us Together

Chapter 30

Nate

Mia and I walk through our front door after a long night of sitting in the hospital. Luckily Brooke and the baby are going to be absolutely fine and she just needs plenty of bed rest for the next couple of months until the baby is due but I think we all got the fright of our lives today. Especially Joey. It's mad how much he has grew up in the space of half a year. The daft lad I grew up with is still there but he's more mature now, although I suppose having a family will do that to you. I couldn't help but imagine how I would feel, if that was Mia and our baby. I would be a wreck. I've just admitted my feelings for Mia to myself and now I'm already picturing her knocked up for fuck sake.

We both sink into the sofa and Mia snuggles into my side. We throw on some rubbish on the TV but I know neither of us are paying any attention, we're both too wrapped up in our emotions.

"Brooke and the baby will be fine" I finally say. I know today scared Mia. She may be strong but there is nothing she loves more than her family.
She sighs and turns to look at me, "I know. It was just scary, yano"
I place my hand on her cheek and she leans into my touch, "I know baby."

She leans in and places her lips to mine. I deepen our kiss and move my hand to the back of her head to pull her even closer to me. She moves to straddle my waist and gently moves her hips to create some friction between us. We both paw at each others clothes to get them off and leave nothing between us. Mia recently told me she gets a birth control injection so we don't have to use anything and to say I wasn't excited was a lie. To feel her and only her with nothing between us. She maintains eye contact as she sinks down onto me and we both let out a satisfied moan. We go slow and I let her set the pace as she grinds her hips and moves up and down. She closes her eyes and tips her head back is pleasure but I grip her chin between my thumb and finger, "look at me baby" it's not long before we're both reaching our climaxes, both lost in each other as if nothing else exists.

Once we're both done we lie on the sofa, limbs overlapping each other. Mias resting her head on my chest as I rub small circles on her shoulder. That wasn't about sex just now. That was about being close to each other and finding an escape from this dreadful day.

I stare into her beautiful blue orbs and get lost in them. She gives me a small smile and I cant keep it in anymore. "I love you." I say honestly. Those blue eyes almost pop out of her sockets as she stares at me. I can tell she's gauging my reaction, seeing if I will back track so I more firmly say, "I'm not taking it back and I don't regret saying it. I love you Mia, I think I always have to be honest. Today made me realise I would lose my head if we were in Brooke and Joeys position but it also made me realise its you that I want that with. A family and a future I mean, not a scare like that."

She looks at me with pure admiration and gives me a small soft kiss on the lips,"I love you too, Nathan Taylor. And I think I have for a long time too."
