My Captain

Ch. 42

-Next Day-

I honestly don't even remember falling asleep last night. He's still fast asleep, arm secured tightly around me. I can't believe he loves me and I'm not freaking out because we've only been together for a month. It feels like longer though. We're a lot closer than Chase and I were at this period. Chris put in a lot of effort to show me he cares about me. I knew he was different the moment he brought me lunch, even though I still tried to find some red flag. I never could and still can't. He's such an amazing guy but I'll be honest... him leaving again is scaring me. I'm not talking about the few days he'll go home for thanksgiving but about when he leaves in January. I know that's a long time from now but it still worries me. We've been in this bubble for a month now, and it'll only grow, so what's going to happen when he goes back to Cali? I'm going to be busy with my premier and I'm sure he has another project he'll start working on. I just don't want to wait until April to see him again.

His grip tightens, breaking me out of my thoughts. When his blue eyes appear, I swear my heart skips a beat.

"Morning beautiful." He smiles. And another thing, I'm so used to him sleeping next to me too. Ugh! I wish January would never come.

"Morning." I kiss his chest, earning a shiver from him. I'm glad I have the same affect on him as he does me. He rolls us over so I'm now on top of me. His hands go under my shirt, something he always does.

"Can we just stay in bed all day?" I smile. Cuddling all day does sound a lot better.

"I wish we could." I reach over and grab my phone. It's only 9 but I know my parents are already up. Everyone is getting here for 11 I think.

"What time is it?" He asks.

"9. Everyone is getting here for 11 but we'll need to go help mom set up everything." He groans. Trust me, I understand. I throw my phone down and lay my head back down on his chest.

"I don't wanna." He pouts.

"Baby Natty will be here." I tell him.

"Aw ok I love babies." I chuckle, knowing that would cheer him up.

"I knew you liked her more than me." I smile.

"Well no shit. I mean who can compete with those blue eyes." I laugh loudly.

"That's exactly what I told Lane." I say.

"Honestly, I'd kidnap her if I could. She's so fricken cute." He gushes.

"Oh I know. I would too." I shiver has his fingers run up and down my back slowly.

"Um when you come back to Atlanta, would you want to stay with me? I just figured it would be better than a hotel." I suggest. Honestly, I don't want him in a hotel.

"Sure. And sleeping with my girl is much better than a hotel." I giggle then squeal as he rolls us over.

"I love you. Damn that feels so good to say." He smiles.

"I've been trying to hold it in for weeks but you made it very difficult. Also we never talked about what you're feeling. I was a little... intoxicated last night." He smirks.

"You're a cute drunk." He kisses my nose. "But uh no I'm happy. You make me happy. I know you were scared about rushing things but this doesn't feel rushed to me. Believe me I have never felt like this before. Usually I don't start feeling this way for a few months but we just click, if that makes sense." He admits.

"No it does. I've never felt this way before either. I see a life with you, which terrified me at the beginning but now it doesn't. Hell I missed you while Daisy and I were gone for two hours yesterday. All I want to do is be around you and in your arms." I run my hands over his back as he leans down a little.
