I Know Your Scared Of The Unknown

Chapter 27

I sat in the bed running my hands through my hair as I heard her quietly sobbing from behind the door of my bathroom. I thought telling her was going to give her a much different reaction than what she had and not cause her this much pain. I cursed to myself quietly as I thought about how it seemed like I could do nothing right recently. In Italy everything came so naturally to me, I knew exactly what to do to make her happy. I knew exactly what to do to show her that I loved her. But now that we were back in Utah, I just felt like all of that was left behind in the airport in Italy.

Pushing myself up off of the bed and sliding back into my boxers I quickly walked over towards the door. I knocked softly patiently waiting for her to respond to me. When I didn't hear anything, I knocked quietly again this time saying her name softly through the door. "I'll be out in a minute" I heard her say softly, her voice still heavily laced with sadness. I didn't want to push my luck with her, so I gave her her space nodding my head as I walked over towards my closet.

I grabbed a pair of joggers and a shirt off of the shelf, ignoring the clothes I had on before,  throwing them over my body as I started to randomly remove things from several shelves that were lining the wall. I threw things here and there as I made enough room for her clothes. I walked over towards her suitcases, taking her clothes out and carefully organizing them into shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, etc. I smiled to myself as I pulled out several pieces of lingerie, feeling myself start to get aroused as I imagined what she would look like and the scenarios we could be in when she wore them.

I shook my head quickly trying to push the thoughts out of my brain as I grabbed at the semi in between my legs, fixing it so it wouldn't be so evident in the fabric of my joggers as I continued making a place for her in an effort to make her feel more at home. I was just zipping up her last suitcase and putting them in the corner where I kept all of mine, when I heard the door to the bathroom open. "Sophie?" I asked, her head not even acknowledging her name as she walked back over to our bed and laid herself in a ball in the middle, the only thing visible from the sheets balled up around her tiny body was her head.

"Sophie?" I said walking over towards her. I climbed up on the bed, running my fingers through her hair as I placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "I am sorry Sophie. I didn't mean" I started, but really wasn't sure how to finish that statement since well, making her feel bad wasn't my intention.

"It's okay Austin" she said, not even turning to look at me. "I just need a few minutes okay and I'll be back out" she said, giving a nod under the covers.

I let out a sigh, my hand resting on her thigh as I leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her temple. "I love you Sophie, I'll  be in the kitchen okay?" I placed my lips back against her temple before pushing myself off of the bed and quietly walking out towards the kitchen.

"Yo there's my MMA fighter! Feelin better today Post?" Dre laughed as he walked over putting his one arm around me. I shrugged him off, walking over and grabbing the bread as I shoved two pieces into the toaster. "Okay I take that as a no" he laughed, walking over and taking a seat at the island as he started to eat his eggs.

"I want him fucking out of here Dre, like today" I said, leaning up against the counter, my arms crossed over my chest. He let out a laugh shaking his head finishing off his glass of orange juice as he looked at me.

"No can do Post. We need him incase something happens to Adam, plus he is more like a personal photographer to Tyla. He stays" Dre said, his eyes drifting up to meet mine.

"Fine, but don't expect me to be fucking buddies with him. I don't want to see him, I don't want to hear him, I don't want to be anywhere near him. Keep him the fuck away from me" I said, turning around and grabbing my toast as it popped up out of the toaster.
