Fairy's dark love (ON HOLD)

Chapter 24

Iris's POV

I was just so annoyed with Alex for not letting me get my underwear on my own. As much as he cared about me, this was just too much. Once we were back in his room I went under shower and enjoyed the water that was splashing over my over-heated body.

My shame went away within minutes and I felt better than ever. When I got out of shower I found Alex lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. Oh no. What happened?

I walked over to him and snuggled next to him, and he wasn't looking at me, he didn't touch me, and his body was tense.

"What's going on?" I asked quietly.

He sighed, and wrapped his huge arm around my shoulders pulling me closer to him. "It's nothing." he said but his body was still tense and his voice sounded wrong. Did I do something wrong earlier? Why was he like this now?

I pulled away from him and sat next to him on the bed not daring to look at him, instead I looked at my fingers. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked and frowned at my fingers when weird feeling washed over me. It wasn't embarrassment or rejection, it was kind of mix of those two. Made me feel really bad and desperate.

I gulped when he didn't say anything. It took me all my courage to look at him. He was looking at me with really sad look on his eyes, my heart contracted and it hurt really bad to think I was the one causing all of this.

I shuffled and sat on his legs looking down at him. "I'm sorry if I did something. I really am. Please, don't be sad..." my voice sounded sweet and loving. But he just pulled me down on his chest not saying anything.

"Don't worry bout it. I'm just being silly Babe." he said.

"It's not fair. I always tell you what's bugging me." I complained and snuggled into him.

His heart was beating a bit faster then normal. It was silent for almost a minute.

"You don't love me?" he then said and it sounded so shattered, broken, sad... I've never heard something so sad in my life. It was heart-breaking.

I gasped and pulled up looking at his eyes astonished. "Where did you get that from?" I gasped.

He looked away from my eyes. "When I told you I loved you, and you never you said it back... and that was the first time I've said the words out loud. And you're the only person that I love this much, and...'' he trailed off when his voice trembled at the end.

My heart ached horribly. He thought I didn't love him... Didn't he know? Didn't he know how I felt whenever I was with him, and how I felt at the thought of him leaving me. I bent down and caressed his cheek.

"Look at me..." I whispered, and he reluctantly looked at me with his big black sad eyes. "I love you more then life itself..." I said slowly while looking deep into his eyes. "Didn't I show you how much I love you? Don't you know how much I miss you when you're gone? How can you possibly think that I don't love you? I can't live without you... and to see you this sad right now... it hurts me...'' I said and looked away from his eyes. He frowned at me and for tree seconds he was still, not breathing, not moving, nothing...

And then he got up and crushed his lips against mine, pulling me close to him and breathing in my scent. He broke away too soon looking at my eyes with now shiny, adoring eyes, he was holding my face in his hands and our noses were touching.

"I'm sorry..." I breathed. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, thought you knew..." I said and closed my eyes.

He kissed my lips again tenderly and pulled gently on my lower lip with his teeth. I chuckled when I felt he was hard again underneath me.
