My Sweetheart

10

"Well, it didn't actually take me long enough to know that you were effected by that kiss although, it lasted for a short time. Just like you were so sure about me liking you." He said in his calm and peaceful voice while looking straight up in the sky as he was lying upon the grass of his enormous yet luscious ornamental garden. "I can tell, it did give you comfort while you were feeling vulnerable."

"Yeah." She smiled, being a little flustered by his words when she was seated besides his figure as they both were now spending some time together for a while.

"Would you mind telling me some of your favourite things, sweetheart?" He shifted his eyes from the sky to her mesmerizing orbs when he asked straightforwardly.

"What?" Though she knew very well that he liked her, more than a lot but still that she teased him with a small smile while pretending a little giddy and unknown. "Why do you even want to know those things?"

"Babygirl. Usually, for what purpose that a guy asks his girl to tell him about such things?" He supported himself over his single elbow and raised his brow thoughtfully, when he later fell over his back again. "Obviously, when he wants to know her more."

She sighed when she just smiled while staring him right there as her cheeks went hot and just by imagining how he will effect her like this in future, her heat raised but all of a sudden she felt useless in a minute when she sadly asserted her next words. "What will you do after knowing me?"

"Sweetheart. I want to know you. But still, only if you want to share anything. Otherwise? There's no forcing in that." He still smiled with peace.

She still thought several times while trusting him with things but she doesn't had a choice left when that kiss was really messing with her lately. It really felt different from her boyfriend.

"Hm. Thanks, Brand-"

He made himself sit after hearing her when he just stared her blankly.

"I-I-I'm sorry! I meant, Dre-"

"It's alright, sweetheart. I know, it's hard to forget your first love. When it takes your everything to love them." He gently held her hand and rubbed his thumb in circles, just to comfort her.

"He didn't even made me feel a little that, I was ever special to him that much." She sighed countless times every single day.

"You should now stop thinking about him, babygirl. He left you for good. He never deserved you. Move over. Forget him."

"I can't, Drew. I can't! He's stuck like a bad memory in my head."

"He's just a memory." His hand went through her front hair when he later gently caressed her face. "Just forget about him. He should now no longer exist in your anything. Allow yourself to move onwards, Meredith. It will help you a lot!"

"Than, will you help me?" Her hand surprisingly touched his face and he froze. "You helped me last time."

"Babygirl." He sighed while holding her wrist. "You're so not ready for that and I don't want to destroy you like this. Please. We should take it real slow."

"Than, give me comfort." She hugged him right there and after her words, he slowly surrounded his long arms around her small body in his embrace. "I'm not asking you for your money. I don't even need that. I just need some time from you. Will you please give me just a little bit of your attention?"

"All of my attention is for you, my sweetheart."

Her embrace tightened around his big warm body when he didn't say anything and just stayed like that for a long while.
