I am free as a bird flying in your cage

🦋

My eyes snapped open.

There was a figure standing over the bed with a gun

It was her

Nichole

Looking down at me with hatred she shook her head "he is mine"

My body trembled "please don't"

Pulling back the slide of the automatic handgun "you can't do this"

"You are just a whore to him I am the one he needs in his life not you" she pushed out her lower lip in an exaggerated frown as she pretended to cry

She leveled the gun straight at me

"No! No!" I screamed

"Rose! rose!

I hear the trigger pull and the bright flash from the muzzle in the unlit room

"No!" my shrill scream drowning out the echo of a gunshot in my head

"Rose Wake up"

Looking down I found myself covered in blood

"No!"

I couldn't stop screaming even after realizing it was a dream

After shaking me awake,

Dante snatched me to his chest one hand wrapped around my back and the other pressing my head next to his beating heart

"Baby it was just a dream "

"Calm down"

I buried my face in the crook of his neck inhaling the scent of his familiar cologne

"It felt so real" I cried out

"Shh, I know sweetheart but I am there for you no one can harm you, you are safe" he stroked my hair gently soothing me

Soon I calmed down as my breathing got back to normal

I looked into his eyes "I am sorry i  didn't realize sooner "

"Shh sweetheart just sleep you need rest"

"Lay with me," I said in a hushed whisper

He lays beside me while I caressed his chest "I love you"

"Are you sure you are not acting today cause from what I know my girl is quite a good actor "he jokes

my eyes watered staring into his blue orbs

"I love you" I whisper as I peck his lips

"say it again" his voice is rough on the edge just like his soul

"I love you so much" I kiss all over his face

his lips curve into a grin as he pulls me in for a kiss

Tears fell from my eyes as his warm lips pressed against mine 

His touch sets my heart on fire

all the turmoil in my head ceases to exist

he fills my whole being with love making my heart sing

A love that heals everything
