I'm Yours (Sequel to "You're mine")

Chapter 22: Like we used to

Leah's POV

We arrived at our home. Our home... When T called it our home, I knew we were good again. It was her house, I knew that. Officially, I never claimed it - even though I could now, being her wife. It just did something to me when she called it our home again.

I undid my jacket and shoes and followed T to the kitchen. "So," I watched her take a cooking pan and some ingredients. "What's on the menu?"

T turned to me. "That's a surprise," She then turned me around and guided me out of the kitchen. "You have to wait here."

I turned back to face her. "Then what do I do?"

She shrugged. "Don't you have anything to do for school?"

I gave her a look. "All my books are at my mom's place."

"Oh..." She then looked around. "You can watch some tv, or..." She looked around more. "You can write some more on Wattpad," She walked to the table and took her laptop. "Here, you know the password."

I smiled at her as I took her laptop. "Thanks."

She nodded before going back to the kitchen.

I walked to the couch and sat down on it. I opened her computer and logged in. I then went to Wattpad. I didn't really know what I would be writing, and I wasn't really in the mood. Maybe I should answer some comments again.

I went through the comments and started answering them. When I saw a comment about how someone wished T and me the best, it made me smile. Finally, I could be happy about our relationship again.

After some time, T came to me. "Dinner's ready, baby."

"Ok," I got up and followed her to the living room. I then was lost for words. "Wow..." In front of my eyes was a well-decorated table. The plates, served, surrounded by rose petals. A candle was placed in the middle, setting the perfect atmosphere. The music silently playing in the back, giving it that extra mood. It was just gorgeous.

T pulled the chair back for me. I went to sit down and watched around a bit. It was so beautiful. "I hope you like it," She said as she sat down again. "This is what I had planned when I called you at night."

"This is gorgeous, baby," I put my hand on hers. "Thank you so much."

"You're very welcome," We started eating T's favorite dish: pasta. Even though it was the thing she made the most for me, I loved it nevertheless. She put the effort in, that's what counted for me. "You look beautiful, baby."

I looked down, blushing. I always had a hard time accepting compliments, especially from T.

"Did you go to school looking like that?" She asked to which I nodded. "Good, everyone should know how lucky I am to have you."

I looked away, my blush intensified. "T, stop." I couldn't contain my face reddening.

"I'm just saying the truth," She said before making me look at her. "You're breathtakingly beautiful."

"Thank you, baby," I looked down, at the food. I was completely red, and she enjoyed it. Secretly though, I enjoyed it too. "You're beautiful too."

After dinner, we went to the tv. T had a movie ready for us, an action movie mind you. I didn't really like romance movies, I like more action.

Throughout the movie, T held me in her arms. We shared a bag of chips together, as well as a can of soda. Sometimes it baffled me how I could share so many things with someone. I was so happy with her, I felt so lucky to have her. Sometimes it scared me how close we were.

"That was a nice movie," I said as T turned off the tv. "This was an amazing evening, I really enjoyed it." I got up.

T got up too and looked at me. She then looked at the time. "I should probably get you back home, it's getting dark..."

I gulped, knowing that what I was about to do could ruin things again. "I'm already home, baby."

She blinked a few times, seemingly processing my answer.

"Right?" I asked after some time, suddenly I wasn't sure anymore.

"Yeah," She smiled. "Of course," She wrapped her arms around me. "Does that mean you'll stay here tonight?"

"If you let me."

She let out a breath. "I won't let you go anymore." Her grasp on me tightened.

"On second thought..."

"Too late," She pulled me even closer to her. "I already got you," She then pulled me up and carried me to our bedroom. There, she put me down before the bed. It was a gesture I appreciated as that showed she didn't want to rush anything. "I'm going to get changed." She turned around, facing her closet.

Before she could get changed, I wrapped my arms around her. "I don't have pajamas..."

I heard her gulp. "I can borrow you one," She walked to her closet. "I've got one here."

I took it from her, a bit upset she didn't get my hint. "Thanks."

Eventually, we ended up in bed, both dressed in pajamas. I was on my side of the bed, T on hers. Even though the lights were out, I knew we were both wide awake. I could hear T's breathing, she was clearly awake. And the fact she hadn't moved since turning off the lights also revealed she wasn't sleeping. I wondered why she wasn't sleeping. Was she waiting for something?

I gulped. "T?"

I heard her move then, she scooted closer to me. "Yes?"

I gulped again. "I love you."

She let out a breath. "I love you too, baby," She scooted even closer, pulling me to her. By now, I was able to see her face. "I'm really happy you're here, with me."

I caressed her face slowly. I missed feeling her this way, I just missed this: this intimacy. It had been a while since we had been like this. My heart went crazy, beating like no tomorrow. I knew what it wanted, I knew what I wanted, but I wasn't sure about T yet. 

T pulled me even closer, our bodies were pressed together now, making my heart go even crazier.

"T," I breathed out. "Wait."

"What for?" She breathed out too, I was certain now she was feeling the same I did. "I want you."

I gulped. "I'm... Scared."

T pulled back a bit though I could still see her face. "Why?" She came closer to my face. "Don't be."

I gulped again. "I'm afraid that if things are good again, they might go wrong again." I finally said.

She let out a breath. "It won't go wrong anymore," She leaned in closer, her lips merely a kiss away. "I promise." She then leaned in and kissed me.

This time, I didn't stop her. I wanted her, and she wanted me. She easily found her way on top of me and, from there, we made love like we used to.
