Innocent ✔️

Fifteen

Pulling away to catch my breathe, he didn't stop. He kept kissing my lips and jawline. All I could do was close my eyes and breath heavily loud, throwing my head a little to the back since he was much taller than me.

When he finally stopped, he hugged me tight, too tight that I could feel his heart beating against my ear that was pressed on his chest.

Only the sound of our breathe over the sound of the rain behind us were the only sound heard in the place.

This was my first kiss, was the only thought that haunted me and suddenly I caught myself smiling against his chest because of the thought. His lips were warm and good to kiss.

Catching my breath was much harder in his arms so I slowly pulled away but as soon as I met his eyes, I regret it and all of sudden the sound of the thunder made my body fast react and jump back in his arms, gasping.

"It scares you?" He said with his really low British accent but I perfectly heard it. I don't know if he meant it to be a question or he just declared it to himself, surprised.

I slowly nodded, not trusting the sound of my own voice at the moment. I know myself and I know as well that if I talk I am gonna start saying things that means absolutely nothing and I will just end up embarrassing myself in front of him.

He pulled away the hug. I automatically looked anywhere in the room but his blue eyes but it didn't last for long since he softly grabbed my face in his two hands and slowly made me look up at him. His eyes were flying back and forth between my lips and my eyes.

He licked his lips and said "you should go to sleep."

After what just happened, I don't want to go to sleep. I won't even be able to fall asleep. I will think about it the whole day, I am sure.

"Common, let's get you to sleep." Before I could say anything, his hands travelled its way to the back of my knees and carried me up in his arms. He walked to the bed and slowly put me down on the mattress. My body relaxed itself so quickly that I couldn't care less about anything else just until I heard another thunder, I jumped in my place and sat on the bed, looking straight at him with my widden eyes.

He laughed and said "still scared?" I nodded. "Don't be." He simply said.

He turned around and walked to the door while every inch of my body pushed me to jump of the bed and run to him and tell him not to sleep and stay with me since the thunder was so loud. It was my biggest fear and I can't just sleep with it in my background but my mind didn't work.

"Stay?" I finally screamed when I heard his hand finding the knob of the door. He turned around with a question mark written all over his face.

"You want me to stay?" He asked.

I looked at him, confused of what I just didn't stop myself from saying. Do I want him to stay? Again. Yes, obviously. Will I have that courage of saying it out loud again when it's not only surprising him but myself.

He smirked and I knew my cheeks turned light pick when he started to walk toward me. He stood in front of the bed and waited for me to make me place so I did. He jumped under the covers and brought them over my and his body. He brought me closer to his warm body.

Opening my eyes to the lights of the day, I just felt like closing it back or fall back asleep. It's the first time in so long that I felt like sleeping that peacefully without nightmares. Without waking up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep or even without that fear inside of me that won't let me go, that haunted me with the thoughts that someone somehow will find a way to hurt me.
