"What?" He asked.

"Never mind," I say and turn away from him trying to hide my embarrassment from him then put my face in the pillow.

"No- no- what did you ask me?" He asked again.

I finally looked at him and he started back at me- almost like he was looking into my soul. I got butterflies.

"I asked if you could sleep next to me," I mumble softly- trying to not let him hear me.

He smirks. That indicates to me that he heard what I said. I blush.

"Yeah- you want that?" He asks.

"Well I'm thinking of changing my mind," I answer him. He shows a frown then jumps into the bed with me.

"Hey, I said I wanted to change my mind!" I tell him slightly annoyed at him.

He doesn't say anything and puts me on my back, wraps his arms around my waist, and puts his head in to my boobs.

"Riff stopppp" I say then lightly slapping his head.

"Mmmm no" he says and pushes his head further into them snakes his arm around me tighter.

"But Riff-" I start but he interrupts.

"Will you go to the dance next Friday with me, Delilah?" He asked with puppy dog eyes. I think about it.

"I don't have a dress," I say as an excuse.

"I could buy you one," he replies like it's nothing.

"You are just as broke as me Riff- and I don't have money," I tell him.

"Okay- well I could steal one for you," he says trying to convince me. I give in.

"Okay fine- but Riff two things, one I am not wearing heals and dancing all night- ok my feet would kill me. Second you need to teach me to dance- I can't dance whatsoever." I say.

"Okay," he agrees. "But I get to take you out before to any restaurant I choose tomorrow and before the dance," he says giving his condolences to us going to the dance.

"Fine," I start then continue. "As long as we get to go to sleep now," I say starring at him he stares back.

"Okay, goodnight doll," he says and moves so our faces are almost touching. I can feel his hot breath on my cold skin.

"Goodnight lover boy" I say back leaning in closer to his touch so our noses are touching.

"Goodnight doll" he says and leans in more so our lips touch each other's slightly. We are still starring in to each other's souls, he looks at me as if he's asking for permission to lean in further and connect our lips. I look down at his lips then nod slightly. We both keep leaning in further and further, he turns his face left so I turn my head right.

We keep keep leaning in until it happens. I feel his warm lips complete my cold ones.

It is like time stops completely and all that's there is us. The kiss is slow and loving like he actually feels how I feel about this, we both feel complete.

He is my yin to my yang, peanut butter to my jelly, moon to my stars, meaning to my life.

I feel it all, the way he kiss's me is like he is kissing a bubble. He is being so delicate but so passionate at the same time.

We eventually have to brake apart to catch our breaths. And he flips us over so he is bottom and I am top. He pecks my lips again.

"Good night doll," he says then snakes his arms around my waist and I wrap my arms around him.

I snuggle my face in to his chest and take his sent in one more time before I fall into a deep slumber.

"You little brat! You brought a dog home?! You know we can't keep that thing!" My dad shouted at me then slapped me in the face.

"I'm- I'm sorry dad bu- but it wa-" I tried to speak but I got slapped again.

"I don't want any of your fucking lame excuses! You are being an ungrateful bitch and you know it! I make all this money and for what? For you to take a dog off the street and let if run in the house care free with those muddy paws!" He screams at me and kicks me down to the ground. I'm crying with tears coming down my face.

This is a memory from when I was 14- a scary one. One that I remember constantly.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so-" I repeated but he kicked me in the face several times till my face bled.

"I don't wanna hear it!" He finishes than walks out of the room probably back to his office or something.

Then I wake up

"Hey, hey, doll it's okay it's not real! I'm here I can ke-" I cut Riff off with a hug pushing my head into him.

"Delilah I'm here and I swear to keep you safe from whatever that nightmare was about," he pauses then continues. "Do you want to talk about it?"

I shake my head 'No' and he rubs my back up and down trying to give me any comfort- any at all, and it was working.

My favorite way that people can show they care for me is with physical touch. Why you may ask- well because I never really received it in the past like eight or nine years- well ever since my mom died basically.

I love how Riff treats me like I'm a princess that is so delicate- so precious to him and him only.

I can sense that he truly cares and wants to fight all my own monsters for me. He doesn't do it for the benefits like my rich as hell father, he doesn't do it out of pity he's not like that. He does it because he cares- not just because Johnny cares for me but because he cares for me and acknowledges my existence.
