I couldn't bear her silence anymore and we still had another hour till we landed. We spoke here and there but it was all just cold short responses. She changed clothes and just went back to looking out the window.
I got up and sat next to her.
"Hey..."
She looked down into her lap in silence.
"Can we..talk about what happened?"
She moved her hair behind her ear.
I sighed and placed my hand on her knee. "Look I'm sorry- I don't really know-" I close my eyes to gather my thoughts.
"I really..like you..."She raises her head and looks at me.
"My last relationship..didn't end well...and I guess when I think about it, it never started well either..It...it was very toxic and..and emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. I was in a rough spot and...I just..I don't know. I don't want to go through that again and I don't want to bring drama around someone I care about."
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"He.."
She grabs my hand and pulls it close. "I would never hurt you. You should never have to worry about something like that."
"No I know it's not that it's.."
"Just tell me. It's alright."
"You know..I get this feeling sometimes that he's going to come back. Sometimes I even feel like he's following me or plotting against me or that he'll show up again."
"He's stalking you?! Do you have a restraining order?!"
"Yes but he's breached it before and got away with it. Hes well funded so he has his connections. I just dont want you to get caught in between that if he tries again."
"It's alright we can figure it out."
"No Daya. I can't put you in danger. I wouldn't forgive myself if he hurt you trying to get to me."
"HA! What makes you think he'll even lay a finger on me?" She rolls her eyes.
"Z..he cut Jade because she was trying to pull him off of me. She still has the scar to show it. I can't let that happen to you."
"Girl please. I'll beat that niggas ass if he tries to lay a hand on me. Let him mess with the right one."
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"We can get through this together."
We find ourselves gazing at one another once again. Distance closing, we close in for a kiss but I whimper out again. I look down closing my eyes, our foreheads resting on eachother.
"Y/N..." she pushes my chin up.
I kiss her before she could say anything. She was taken by surprise but kisses back. I rest my hand behind her ear and pull her deeper. She reciprocates and leans even deeper into the kiss. Her soft plump lips taste of sweet cherry chapstick. The thought of slowing down was none. It felt like this was meant to be and nothing but chills ran down our bodies. I knew chills ran through her because I could literally feel her vibrate all over. Butterflies tore through my stomach. She carried her hands up my crop top. Mine traversed down her shorts.
