Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 51

Josephine

I open my eyes slowly as the alarm clock continues to ring noisily.

There is no way it is morning already!

I stretch my legs and feel something beside me.
I open my eyes frightened!

"Hero..." I whisper relaxing immediately.

We spent the night together!
It's been a long time since this has happened and I think I haven't slept so well in weeks!

I sigh snuggling closer to him.

We said let's start over, starting today...
I really want to try to be with him again, but above all I want to experience everything more calmly, without this fear gripping the pit of my stomach and tormenting my thoughts.

To do that, I need to reset everything and start again.
He said he agrees with me and I am happy about that. I don't know how easy it will be, especially after tonight, but I want to try!

This means no more kissing or intimacy, at least for the time being...
Let's start again as if we were just friends!

Is this madness? Most probably yes, but I am convinced that this is the only way I can learn to deal with this irrational fear of anything.

He confessed to me that he is also afraid, and that is comforting, since I am not the only one to feel these feelings.

I should detach myself from him now, but I want to enjoy this feeling for a while longer...
He is sleeping soundly and I take the opportunity to relax in his arms, letting his scent invade me.

I sigh closing my eyes again.
But the alarm clock has other programs for me.

"Turn it off..." Hero complains changing position and hugging me closer to him "Make it stop, please!"

His eyes are still closed and his reaction is funny.
I can't help but laugh as I lean over him and hit the off button on that hellish thing.
I try to put myself back in the same position as a moment ago, but Hero prevents me.

"Where do you go?" He smiles slightly opening his eyes, while his hands slide over my hips and my bare back, up and down slowly...
He reaches up to my butt and gives a light pat, smiling even more...

"I like it if you stay like this..."

I'm practically on top of him!
I smile and shake my head...

"Do you remember what we said yesterday?"

"As long as I don't open my eyes, it's not worth..."
He tries to convince me while he strokes my whole back making me shiver.

"Relax for a while longer... do you already have to go out?"

"Unfortunately yes..." I rest my head on his chest, looking at him amused.

He sighs and finally opens his eyes.
"Is there anything I can do to convince you to stay here with me under the covers?"
I bite my lip trying to hide a smile...

"Don't do it ..." He exclaims seriously

"What?"

"This..." He touches my lips with his fingers "You're damn sexy..."

I kiss his hand slowly, looking into his eyes.

"Here..." He stares at me hypnotized.

"I have to go, really..."

He snorts again and lets me go.

"Can I come with you? Let's have breakfast together... Like two friends, right?" He looks at me hopefully.
