Lost in Your Love

CHAPTER EIGHT

Xina's pov

"He did what?!" I winced as Charlotte screamed in my ear. I told her about our last encounter in the kitchen a few days ago.

We sat on my bed and ate ice cream while going through pinterest. A sudden knock on the door was heard and we looked at each other confused before I stood up and walked towards the door. As I opened the door a arm shot out and grabbed me out of the room and dragged me towards the guest room. Before I could register what was going on I was wrapped in two big arms.

"Ryder what are you doing?"

"Hugging you" he sniffed

Wait was he crying? I grabbed his face and took in his full red face and eyes that ushered with tears. My eyes softened and I sighed. I signaled him to wait and I went to tell Charlotte she can go home. I walked back to his room and sat with him on the bed.

"Mind telling me what's going on?" I asked softly

He sniffed and shook his head. I sighed and nodded my head as he retook his place and placed his head on my chest and wrapped his arms around me. We sat there for hours until I could hear his soft snores.

I slowly stood up after placing a pillow under his head. I went to the kitchen and made him some waffles and cream to cheer him up. Xavier soon joined me in the kitchen and just stared at me

"what?" I asked confused

"You're good for him" I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. He sensed my confusion and continued

"Look Xina you are great and all... But Ryder has some... Medical problems. That's why he is crying. Take it slow with him okay?"

I nodded and made my way back to his room

Ryder's pov

I was awake when she left. I could feel the sudden difference between how I slept alone and when I slept with her. I was so annoyed and angry at myself for crying in front of her... But she didn't even mind. Her smell and soft skin claimed my nerves completely when I touched her. When I found out what the doctor told me today, I was devastated that it happened again. All I needed was comfort and the only thing I could think of was her.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard soft humming coming towards my door. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to sleep when the door opened. Seconds after I smelled waffles and I smiled a little bit. My favorite. She made me waffles.

I felt the bed dip and a warm soft hand touched my face. It was not to open my eyes to look at her. I felt movement next to me and realized she laid down. I smirked and suddenly turned around so that I could lay on her chest.

As my head hit her soft body, I hear her taking a deep soft breath and put her one hand on my back and one in my hair. All I could think of was her small warm hands comforting me until I fell asleep again...
