Untouched Love

33

Yes I know, I definitely could have gone home and slept in my own bed...but I wasn't ready to stop seeing him, and I know, that's sick and twisted...I shouldn't be giving into him.

I ended up sleeping through his entire shift. I woke up to the front door opening from Andrew coming home. I was still half asleep when he came into the bedroom. I heard him let out a quiet giggle when he saw me asleep in the bed. He climbed under the blankets and kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me.

"I was happy to see you were still here." He whispered in my ear.

I couldn't help but let a smile escape my lips.

"I didn't think I was going to sleep that long honestly..." I said in a groggy voice.

He looked at me with smiling eyes and bit his lip. "God, I know I've said this before, but you are seriously just so pretty right when you wake up. Your adorable tired scratchy voice alongside your squinted eyes that try so hard to open up when the sun shines through them."

I honestly didn't even know how to respond to him sometimes. I wanted to hate him, but he made it so damn hard.

I buried my face into the pillow and shoved my hand in his face. "Oh stop it you."

Sadly I knew that I did have to go home in a few hours, but I enjoyed every moment spent with him.

After we cuddled for a few hours, I grabbed my things and headed home. Usually I'd feel a little more sad knowing that I had to leave, but I get to see him on Friday for a movie so I was feeling pretty good.

I spent the rest of my night writing this story about everything I was going through and how I was coping. That's the story you are reading right now.

The following day I woke up to a "Good morning!" text from Andrew. We talked here and there throughout the day about little things.

"Hey, what're you up to between 1-5 today?" He asked me out of nowhere.

"Absolutely nothing, haha, I rarely ever have plans."

"You should stop by my work and I can take you on a flight!"

"Oh okay! I'll stop by around 3:30."

At his work there were about 3 different flight simulations you could try, some were roughly 30 minutes long, others ranging all the way to an hour. He wanted to take me on the hour long simulation, which I was actually pretty excited for as I have never tried anything like this before.

I put on a cute outfit, did my makeup and headed to his work. It was only a 20 minute drive from where I lived so I didn't have to deal with the city traffic which was nice.

I don't know why I was nervous when I pulled up, but I feel as though no matter how many times I see Andrew that I'm always nervous and giddy. You'd think after 2 months of knowing each other that this feeling would fade, but honestly, I think the feeling gets stronger every time.

I walked through the doors and saw him sitting behind the desk, writing down some things on his ipad.

"Hello!" He greeted me with a wide spread grin.

The place was absolutely dead, and by that I mean we were the only two people in the building.

He walked me around and gave me a little tour of the whole place.

"And this simulator right here will be the one that we're flying today. This is the Boeing 737." He said while showing me the cockpit.

"How...the hell...do you memorise all these buttons and switches, there's so many!"

He laughed at my comment because it was obvious I had no idea what any of this stuff was...I mean why would I though.

"Haha, once you've been learning about it for as long as I have, you catch on pretty quickly. That, and the fact that I'm very passionate about flying so I find this all so fascinating."

We got into the seats and he proceeded to explain everything in precise detail, not leaving a single piece of information out. I honestly couldn't keep up with everything that he was telling me...there is so much about flying that I had no idea about...but I didn't care that I didn't remember. The look in his eyes when he talks about something he's passionate about is probably my favourite thing.

The glint in his eyes, how he starts rambling on about things that don't even need to be explained during the simulation and the smile that stretches from ear to ear.

I didn't notice I was staring for so long until I got caught.

"Haha, what!" He started to get flustered. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

I started to blush as I didn't expect him to call me out. "Nothing nothing, go ahead, keep explaining it to me."
