Their safe haven

Chapter twenty-nine🫶🏼

Evelyn's pov

It all happened so fast, his touch, his lips. Everything hit me like a bag of bricks and now I'm laying on my bed with his arms around me as I watch him sleep like the weirdo I am.

I placed my hand on his cheek and rubbed it while I felt his arm tighten around my waist, pulling me closer to him I smiled. "Good morning worm." His voice came out raspy and deeper than usual and it made me almost melt away.

I placed my hand on his chest and slowly pulled myself out of his arm and slowly out of the warmth of my bed. "Evelyn, you awake yet?" I froze at the sound of Sergio's voice through the door.

I turned and saw that Rain was still fast asleep and it made me start to panic. "Uh, no." I slapped my forehead after realizing what I had said and I heard Sergio laugh through the door. "Open up chicken, Marco wants a little chat." I cursed under my breath and ran over to the door.

I pressed my ear to the door and spoke while trying to nonchalantly throw things at Rain. "Yeah..uh two seconds I just got out of the shower." I finally picked up a pen from my desk and threw it behind me. I didn't hear it hit which made me nervous.

"Ugh, come on Chicken hurry up!" I went to smack my head on the wall but a large hand stopped my head before it made contact with the wall. I glanced up and saw Rain smiling at me while pressing his fingers to his lips.

I nodded and then shook my head while answering Sergio. "Okay, okay I'm coming! The longer you speak the longer I'm going to take." Once I finished I heard running footsteps and I chuckled while turning around.

I saw Rain bending down and picking up his gun that was on my desk before putting it around his shoulder and turning around. I walked over to him and left a few feet between us and gave him a small smile to which he didn't return.

My smile fell and I looked around as I felt my chest begin to squeeze. Without thinking I suddenly blurted out. "You were my first kiss you know." I tried to add a chuckle but I couldn't, it just felt weird.

I don't think he understands how important that kiss was to me. Even though I pushed away I didn't want to, I wanted him and I hated myself for that because I knew deep down he would always see me as a child like he said last night.

I heard him mumbling and I looked up and saw him put his arms out toward me. With a quick motion, he wrapped his arms around me and brought me into his chest. "First and last hopefully." I looked at him and shook my head while a small smile pulled on my lips.

Suddenly everything hit me all at once, being this close to him I realized that I could never have him. With that thought, I pulled away from him and sighed. "I will distract them, thank you for last night." He was 18 I was 16, about to be 17 in two months. We would never work out.

That thought alone had me rubbing my chest in hopes to ease the pain. I felt Rain's fingers under my chin, slowly lifting it to his. I can't. I pulled my head back but his grip got tighter. "Rain I can't. We can't. You are 18, I'm 16." I looked around the room and it felt as though the walls were growing inwards on me.

"I don't care worm, I will wait for you if that's what you want. I want you, Evelyn, everything about you draws me in." He leaned down and kissed my forehead and I found myself almost crying, my eyes burned with tears as he kissed over my eyelids. "I have to go. If you don't want me then please put me out of my misery and date someone else baby because I can't handle being close to you without holding you anymore." With one last kiss on my cheek, I pulled away and forced myself to walk to the door.
