A soft warm hand runs up my back causing me to wake up suddenly.
Soon as I turn on my side I feel my back ache from the movement. I groan while opening my eyes
"Hm..... why are you waking me up?" I asked
" because it's been two days." He says calmly while handing me some water. How the hell have I been out that long?
" I think I pushed you too much, I'm sorry." I raised an eyebrow but the memo of that night quickly ran through my mind. I place the water on the bedside table and burry my face into the pillow as a flood of embarrassment hits me.
" no it's okay I just need two ibuprofen and I'll be good." I tried to get out but My voice was muffled by the pillow.
He chuckled and got off the bed.
Wait......
I look up from the pillow and look around the room. No, because did this man fuck me into hibernation? How the hell did we get back to the palace?
"Yeah, the day you try and do that again I'm gonna have to tap out." He walked back with a pill bottle in his hand and shook his head as if he was embarrassed.
" I give you permission to beat me off with a stick the next time I try I don't know....what came over me" he nervously chuckled and handed me the bottle. I slowly prop myself up with my elbows and thank him
"It's okay, we were both lost in the moment." He sheepishly smiled and sat at the edge of the bed.
"Do you want me to make you some soup or run you a bath..."
"You don't have to do all of that babe."
" It's the least I could do." I nod my head and he leaves the bed once again.
I look down at my hand ready to toss the pill back when I suddenly flip my hand over noticing the ring wrapped around my finger.
I don't know how that slipped my mind he proposed to me.
Not gonna lie I was not expecting him to do that. The way he got down on one knee will forever be embedded in my mind
I toss the pill back finally and head into the bathroom for a much-needed wash.
It's weird how someone can make you feel all these emotions and not in a manipulative love bombing way.
How long has he been planning this?...... were we moving too fast......
I shake my head trying to get all the uncertainties out. I know it's not my gut talking it's my 'you've been in way too many relationships where you got fucked over and took years to fix mentally' side talking
This relationship from the beginning was always about taking risks. Well, for me it was.
It's not easy letting someone in romantically after so many bad things happened to you.
I wash off all the soap and let the water drain before filling the tub with water. I hear a light knock on the door as I poured in the bath salts.
" Come In!" I knew it was him he had the same knock every time. I don't know how to explain it but I always knew when it was him.
The door opened and he walked in.
" I was just coming in to check if everything was okay." I slowly sit down as the heat from the water soothes my body.
" Mhm, everything is okay. Wanna join?" His eyebrow rose while he smirked. I giggled at the reaction as he undressed.
I scooted myself forward so he had space to get in and like always our bodies fit together like two puzzle pieces.
