Stefania's POV

What a lazy Sunday, Matthew and I decided to do our things together, but everyone working
on their business, if that make sense.

I was working on my book and Matthew was drawing, I can guess what it is.

- Are you drawing me? -I ask then of a while noticing his constantly glancing up to me and down to his canvas.

- What make you think that? -he asks back.

- I'm watching your movements from the corner of my eye.

- Now admire my beautiful girlfriend is a crime? -he says with fake sarcastic expression.

- Ugh! So mellow -I roll my eyes playfully.

When I turn back again I see something move from the corner of my eye, but when I check nothing is there... A little bit confused, I go back to the screen in front of me, maybe I imagine it.

I keep writing immerse in the story I'm writing, excited that I already have 10 pages done in this chapter. I up my gaze to see where's our little cat Kafka, but my eyes spot something else, my worst nightmare... Frozen and feeling the sweat form in my forehead along with the hair behind my neck up, I manage to grab Matthew's arm.

- Ma... Matthew... Matthew -I squeeze his arm scare as fuck praying that thing doesn't move.

Matthew confused by my sudden behave, follow my gaze seeing the big black butterfly hanging on the wall.

- Ok, baby... -Matthew grabs my hand- go to the room and I'll take it out.

- I... I can't... Can't move -I say totally frightened by the insect.

- It won't move -I can feel his thumb cares my hand.

-How do you know? -I ask not watching other side, in alert in case I have to run- It can attack me.

- I'll protect you, I won't let the butterfly touch -I try to believe in what he's telling me but I'm so scare- Come on, I'll go wit you to the room.

I nod standing still grabbing Matthew's arm, I wanted to be as far as I can from that monster, but something can make it fly and I could die.

A cold bris come from the out side blowing the butterfly making it fly and me feel the panic mood trigger.

- TAKE IT OUT -I scream from the top of my lungs panicking in my maximum level- PLEASE... IT'S... TAKE IT OUT... TAKE IT OUT.
I run for my life to the kimonos closet sitting in the floor crying in a desperate way, feeling the air leave my lungs.

Matthew's POV

I swear, in the whole 1 half year we been dating, I never had seen her like this. I knew Stef was afraid of them, that she has phobia, because she  told me and when we saw them flaying in the park she just avoid them, sometimes I even tease her and we laugh, but this... This is s whole different situation, I kinda feel bad for my chipmunk.

I figured the way to take the butterfly out, in a jar leaving the insect free so far from the house, and when I come back, I close the backyard door, after checking Kafka is inside, so nothing can come in.

I walk to the direction Stef ran, following the faint sobs to the kimonos closet, I open the door finding my little bub in ball shaking, I never had seen her this vulnerable and I want to protect her, I been if it's just a fucking butterfly.

- Stef, chipmunk -I kneel down to be in the same height as her- I took it out, it's gone -I talk soft placing a hand on her back but she startled at the touch.

- It's me baby... Your Gubs, Your Spence -I say caressing her back.

- It's really gone -Stef asks without upping her face.

- Yes, love... It's gone -I say- and it won't come back -I assure.

Finally she lift her face and my heart hurts to see how much she has been crying. Removing the hair from her face I can stare straight into her eyes.

- You might think I'm overreacting and making too much deal for a simple insect.

- Chipmunk, I will never saying you're overreacting in a situation like this. We all have phobia of something -I smile softly.

- I will always protect you, fight against your fears... Even if it's a danm butterfly, no matter how big or small... I won't let that thing even come near you if I can avoid it.

Stefania's POV

I don't think it twice to hug my amazing Knight. No one ever had understood how chaotic is for me situations that involve my biggest phobia. Normally, they will laugh or tell me to just shut up like my parents. I know Matthew is different and I love that from him.

- Come on, I'll prepare you a bath so you can relax, then some tea and then... Cuddles and more cuddles -he says but the fear keeps taking the best of me.

- Gubs, what if it appears in the bathroom? -I ask contemplating the situation that already is giving me anxiety.

- Bae, I promise you nothing is in there - heisting i nod and he help me stand up.

I walk beside Gubs (well, I'm more behind that beside), my hand attached to his tee like there's not tomorrow. Once in our room.
- I'm gonna grab you some clothe. Everything's fine - he grab my hand holding his tee and quit it subtly.

I stand there, observing my surroundings, scare and alert in case the monster decides to come back again. That's when I feel something brushing my legs and feet making me jump and run to Matthew.

- What...?- he pass his arm around me in a protective way- Chipmunk, it's Kafka -I up my gaze seeing our little kitty hanging where I was.

- Come, let's go to the bathroom - Gubs guide me there and when we're at the frame I stop abruptly.

- Can... Can you check first? -I stare into Matthew's eyes.

- Of course, love - he kiss my temple looking inside, walking as an agent like he does as Spence- All clear, not unsubs here, everything is safe for the lady to pass - he says making me laugh for the way he's acting.

Matthew's POV

Listen to her laughs give a relief feeling to my heart, I hate seeing her bad. I extend my hand to her holding it and guiding her to the bathtub.

- I'm gonna make the tea while you hang, try to relax -I program the sound system- I'll put some ja...

- Don't go... -I listen her voice weak so I turn to look at her in abversh of tears- Please... I don't want to be alone.

- I'm here -I stand in front of her planting a kiss on her forehead.

I help Stef out of her cloth and take as well, adverting my girl's eying me up and down, making me chuckle, because it's not the first time we see each others naked but she keep having the same reaction as the first.

- Enjoying the view, my darling? -I comment taking her out of her trance and the color appears on her cheeks.

We go inside the the bath one in front of the other, enjoying the silence.

- Please, talk to me, Gubs - she says shyly- I still have the Imagen of that thing in my mind.

I smile, thinking for a moment and I start to count her a story, noticing how her body relax due the sound of my voice, which made me so happy because finally the tension us gone and the smiles say hi again on her pretty face.
