I woke up feeling the bed dip beside me. I lightly rubbed my eyes and rolled onto my back, seeing Jonah sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing a hand down his face.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" Jonah whispered as I stared at his scarred back.
"It's okay" I reached a hand out towards his back, lightly rolling my fingers down every bump and indent
"Please, don't" Jonah's body tensed under my touch. He arched his back so I pulled my hand away.
"I'm sorry, I uh- I didnt realize-"
"It's okay, Y/n. It's just not an easy subject" Jonah pushed himself off the bed, leaving the bedroom.
I sat up, looking at the window, seeing it pitch black outside. What time was it? I looked at my phone, seeing it was 3 in the morning.
Do I go see where he went? Did he want to be alone?
I let out a sigh as I flopped back into bed. I heard a light chuckle and I flinched. I looked towards the door, seeing Jonah with two glasses and a bottle of wine.
"Come on" He smiled, walking towards his bathroom.
I got up slowly, following Jonah into the bathroom. I walked in to see him leaning over the bathtub, letting his hand run under the water.
"What's going on?" I smiled, knowing he's running a bath for us
"I figured we need to relax, so much has happened lately and I thought we could use a break" Jonah lightly spoke as he put some bubbles into the water
"At 3 in the morning?"
"Are you tired?" Jonah walked over to me, placing both hands on my hips. I shook my head.
"Then yes, at three in the morning"
Jonah placed a soft kiss on my lips as his hands got to the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off me slowly. He looked over my naked body with a playful smile on his lips
"You're absolutely beautiful" He whispered, kissing me once more.
I walked over to the tub, letting Jonah get undressed as I turned the tap off so it didn't over flow.
I dipped a toe in, hissing as the hot water overwhelmed my body. Jonah lightly chuckled as I turned around seeing him leaning against the bathroom counter, watching me get in.
"What?" I couldn't help but smile back
"I love you" His cheeks turned a tint of red
"I love you too"
I put both feet into the water before I felt Jonah's hand wrap around my throat, stopping me from moving. He brushed my hair away from my neck.
He was looking at the burn
"What happened?" Jonah's voice was low, probably already knowing the answer
"Don't worry about it"
"You're not really in the place to be making demands, doll face" His grip tightened but he didn't block my air way
"I burnt myself on a joint Jack and I were smoking" I prayed he believed it
"So now we're lying to each other?" Of course he didn't
"No, the bald guy burnt me"
Jonah let go of my throat, walking over to the cabinet in his bathroom. He pulled out a small jar and placed it onto the sink counter.
"I'll help put this on after the bath, it'll help"
I got fully in to the bath, sitting to the side so Jonah could get in with ease. He handed me an empty glass and grabbed the wine bottle.
