Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 14

Bridgette

"Bridgette..." Felix stood up, standing next to her as he gently held her, his arms encircling her in a cocoon of warmth and love.

Her own arms instinctively wrapped around him, her body shaking as she let loose the torrent of tears and painful memories.

He gently stroked her hair, soothing her as the tears slowly subsided into hiccups.

"I promise...it's nothing like that, at all. It's the complete opposite of that. I have something important to tell you."

"...Okay." Her voice was quiet and weary as she gently leaned her head back to face him, the rst of her body still pressed against his. 

She felt Felix take a deep breath before his voice spoke.

"I heard that the high school is having a dance this Saturday and..." He lifted one of his hands away from her waist to scratch the back of his head nervously. "I was wondering if you wanted to go."

She looked at him for a couple seconds before her body started to shake and she slightly pulled away as she held a hand against her stomach. She couldn't help but laugh at his request, tickled that he felt he had to ask such a question.

He looked hurt and a little offended, jerking away from her and folding his arms, turning away.

She managed to cease her laughter, a little twinkle of loving laughter in her blue eyes.

She placed a hand on his cheek and turned his head to look at her, smiling lovingly at him when his eyes met her face.

"Felix. You never had to ask me to go. You know I would've gone with you in a heartbeat. All you had to do was mention it and I would've started planning everything."

Relief flowed over his face and he pressed his forehead against hers, smilingly gratefully before leaning in to kiss her.

She lovingly returned it and knew that with him at her side, no matter where they were, she would be able to do anything and she would always support him because she loved him.
