Rylen's POV

My eyes widened in shock. Not only because she chose to tell me her name but also, it was a beautiful name. The whole revelation of it only made her glow. It suited her perfectly.

"But you are never ever ever allowed to call me that." She pointed a finger at my face. I quickly nodded and crossed my heart. She grinned at me seemingly pleased with my gesture.

"Come one then." I gently carried her and walked towards the stairs. "Lead the way Amelia."

"Hey!"

"At least let me call you that when we're alone. You have two beautiful names."

"If you ever blurt it out elsewhere-"

"You'll kill me. I know. Now lead the way."

"Upstairs second room on the left."

"Got it."

I carried her all the way to her bed. Did I mention her house was freaking huge?

"Who cleans this place?"

"A few people. They come every now and then. Then and now. They enter and then their gone. Like magic." AJ babbled on. I stopped listening. She really needed to sleep.

"Okay here you go." Once her head was on the pillow, I pulled the covers up to her shoulders and wished her good night.

"Rylen."

"Amelia." I smirked at her. She replied by rolling her eyes.

"Where are you going to sleep?" She asked while she at up on the bed.

"The couch is more than fine. I'll be gone in the morning. Don't worry about me."

"I'm not worrying about you. Why would anyone ever worry about you? It's not like you're involved in underground fights and you recently got shot twice." She scoffed.

"And the nerd is back."

"I am?"

"You're not yelling at me yet so not completely. You'll get there soon."

"Stay here." She said softly. It was a silent question.

"I am staying here." Let's play dumb and make her ask.

"You don't have to sleep on the couch and I don't want you to leave yet. I don't know why but I just don't want you to leave. Maybe I've spent too much time with you." She mumbled as she shrugged her shoulders. AJ then stared at her fingers that were gripping the covers. Her dark hair covered the side of her face as she looked downwards.

She didn't understand why she wanted someone to be with her.

Even if the answer was so damn obvious.

She has been living alone for too long. On top of that, she had just spent more than three weeks in this big empty house with no human connection. I don't even know if she spoke to anyone over the phone.

This only proves that AJ was only ever close to one person.

"I don't really know why I want you to be here. I've never actually felt anything like this before." She added after some time.
