His lips were soft and warm and with that gentle touch; a mighty dam crumbled down. I began shaking violently and I burst into tears. Slowly Ray lifted me up and carried me into the house while shushing me as I buried my face into his chest and sobbed uncontrollably where he settled me down on the sectional and held me close as I felt a few tears land on my arm. I looked up and saw Ray beginning to sob as well and his arms tightened around me; bringing us completely together as we held each other close. I felt him cup my face into his hands and I was staring into his deep brown eyes.
"I love you Levi...I love you so much." He whispered with tears streaming down his face. Immediately I kissed him deeply and clung to him for dear life as I hiccupped and sobbed.
"I love you too Ray...I'm so sorry." I cried as another flood of tears came. He held my head into his chest as he rocked me back and forth, comforting me and reassuring me things are going to be ok.
"I'm so sorry Ray...I'm sorry..." I apologised over and over again. I felt Ray stop all of a sudden and lifted my chin up to his face.
"Never say sorry for something that's not your fault," he whispered and gently kissed me.
"No..." I said while pulling away and staring into his lap.
"No..."he said while lifting my face back up to his.
"Why do you always do that...you can never entirely look me in the eye," he said gently. I stared at his face in adoration and shame, adoration because he was so loving, so caring, so gentle; yet ashamed because I was putting him through so much pain and suffering, making him cry like this, making him witness such a vile site.
"I...I don't know..." I replied. He slowly kissed me and held my hand with his free hand, he gave it a gentle squeeze as he went back to staring into my eyes and this time, I held his gaze.
"That's better." He said with a small smile. I returned a weak smile which quickly turned into a frown as I felt another flood of tears coming.
"I'm sorry." I whispered as I began sobbing once again. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and began rocking me back and forth while gently stroking my hair and kissing my forehead.
"Why babe, what did you do?" He said softly.
"I'm sorry for putting you through so much pain, for making you cry, for making you see that...for hurting you!" I sobbed, I heard him gasp and he grabbed my shoulders pushing me back a little.
"Don't say that!" he said as he shook me a little. I stared at his face as he wiped a tear away from my cheek and drew his lips close to mine.
"I'm happy to be there for you...no matter how painful it'll get." He whispered lovingly and kissed me deeply. I felt myself slowly calm down as his lips met mine and he began laying me down on the sectional.
"I love you so much Ray," I whispered. He smiled and kissed me again.
"And I love you more." He said with a small laugh, I felt myself smiling and I giggled a little as he kissed me on top of my nose. He flipped me over so I was lying on top of him and he embraced me lovingly; I nuzzled into his neck and he breathed out a long sigh.
"Thank you Ray." I said softly and pecked me on the lips.
"I'm happy to be here for you, no matter how painful it is." He repeated and gave me a poke on my sides, making me jump and giggle.
"That's more like it." He beamed.
"I love it when you smile." He crooned while tickling me some more. I squirmed in his arms as I tried to protect myself from his pokes.
