Leo

Once we were done with our bath, I made sure Ellie got back to bed. She seemed to fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She looked so peaceful... and beautiful when she slept naked.

Man how did I hit the jackpot? How did I get so lucky to have a woman like her in my bed? I couldn't keep down how happy she made me, and I'd give her the world if she asked me to. Even if she still wanted more, I'd give her the whole universe. 

Seeing my mark around her neck let others know that she was mine and mine only. No one would take her away from me, I would make sure of that. Sometimes she infuriated me... but at the same time, calmed me and made my heart soar. I felt strong yet weak in her presence. It was no secret that I adored the very woman that adorned my bed. How could I tell her I never wanted her to leave my side again? I just wanted her close always.

I felt her shift in my arms as she tried getting more comfortable. She shifted again and even seemed to thrash around a bit in a panic. Pretty soon she gave up and I saw her eyes open.

"Leo?" She asked

"It's me Pet, what's the matter? Bad dream?" I asked concerned

"Mhm." She said quietly

"Tell me about it."

"I dreamt that all of you were gone. Jack, Amber, Evan, Brandi... even Caine."

"Where was I?"

"I don't know... some one took you away. I remember going to your house and then it disappeared. With everyone else they all left me saying they were sick of me."

"How often do you have dreams like this?"

"They recur a lot. I can't count how many times I've had them."

"When did they start?"

"A year ago."

"Did something traumatic happen?"

"Uh.. no." She said slowly

"Ellie, you know I do not like being lied to. Would you like to try that again?" I asked calmly

"My boyfriend of three years cheated on me, embarrassed me, and then left me." She said quietly

If I knew this man I would kill him for hurting My Girl. Why did that seem so familiar?

"He didn't deserve you, you are so much better than he will ever be."

I heard sniffling.

"Then why would he treat me that way? I know it's been awhile  since I've even seen or heard from him. But the girl he chose... she was so much better than me. He swore up and down that I should've been grateful for him even looking in my direction."
