Money can't buy love

Chloe:

I let go off Thomas slightly so that I could look at his face. As soon as I did, I could see the hurt in his eyes and that broke my heart. Yes, I meant it, I am scared of him, but not in the way he thinks.

He looked down at me "What are you sacred of? Are you scared that I would do the same thing as Lucas?" I immediately shook my head "I know you better than that."

He looked slightly relived "Then why are you scared of me?" He questioned me. I sighed and looked down "I'm scared that you'll hurt me emotionally" I said barely even above a whisper. I knew he heard every word though, he just had to. Because I was pulled against his chest again and he pressed a kiss onto my forehead.

"I will never hurt you physically or emotionally, I promise you that" Thomas whispered into my hair. I nodded my head against his chest even though I did not believe him "Ok" I mumbled.

He pulled back enough so that he could put his finger under my chin "Lets try this again and this time don't lie, got it?" I nodded my head. "Why are you scared that I'll hurt you emotionally?" he asked me.

I sighed and tried to loo down, but his finger was still holding my head in place. "Well, Sam and Lucas hurt me as well." He frowned "But what do all of us have in common?" He asked.

I sighed, I knew he would ask this, but that does not make saying it any easier. "Ilikedorlikeallthreeofyou" I said really fast.

He chuckled slightly "Could you say it a bit slower Chloe?" I nodded my head in agreement "I like or liked all three of you" I said. His eyes widened in surprise. "You like me?" He asked perplexed. I shily nodded my head "Yeah, I totally get if you do not, but every guy I have liked has hurt me in one way or another."

After I finished speaking there was nothing but silence. It was a rather uncomfortable silence, at least for me. "You liked Elena's brother?" Was the first thing he asked. I did not know what to think of that being his first question. I nodded my head though "I regret it so much, but yeah I used to until you know what happened."

I looked at him to see him smiling "So, you like me?" Thomas asked me in a teasing tone. I blushed and nodded my head, while looking at my feet.

He put a finger under my chin again. As soon as I was looking at him, he pressed his lips to mine. Before he did, I thought I heard him mutter something like "Thank god" but I was not sure. When we pulled apart both of us were smiling from ear to ear.

"I like you too, Chloe" He told me, which caused me to jump into his arms in joy. He caught me without a problem. My legs were wrapped around his waist, my arms were around his neck and my head was on his chest. His arms were around my upper body while his head rested on mine.

We, well he kept walking like this until we reached his apartment or my dorm, I did not really know. I was too tired.

Right before I fell asleep I said "Please don't hurt me."

Thomas:

I was carrying Chloe in my arms. She seemed to be falling asleep, so I decided to bring her to my apartment, since its closer. The crying must have taken all of her energy.

Right as I opened the front door, I heard her say "Please don't hurt me." I kissed the top of her head "I will never hurt you Chloe."

I closed the door behind me with one hand, while the other was holding Chöoe. As soon as I did that, I carried her to my bedroom so she could sleep. I layed her down under the comforter and pulled it over her, but not before pulling off her shoes. I tried to walk out of the room as quiet as possible, but I somehow still woke her up.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Then her eyes fell onto the empty bed next to her and she looked sad.

"Go back to sleep" I softly told her. Chloe looked at me "Lay with me." I smiled and made my way over to her. I quickly pulled off my shoes and my jacket, before getting into bed with her.

As soon as I was next to her, she snuggled into me. Her head was on my chest and her arms were wrapped around my waist. It was a beautiful sight and I'm so glad I'm the only guy, who gets to see her this way.
