unexpected love [ TAMBER STORY ]

confessions

AMBERS POV

I slowly opened my eyes, they felt as if they had been glued down. looking to my left, I noticed Tara deep in slumber. a small smile began to rise on my face before I remembered what happened last night. to make sure it was real, I slowly moved my leg up and out from under the covers, it stung badly as I fully pulled them out from under the covers. I shut my eyes once again as the bloody bandages revealed themselves. I slowly opened my eyes once again and took a glance at the bandaged wound on my knee, inhaling sharply as I saw how much-dried blood was really on it. I slowly sat up and got out of bed, trying my hardest not to wake Tara up. I began to walk over to my room's restroom, grabbing a washcloth and getting it damp so I could clean up the blood. once it was clean, I grabbed more bandages and more ointment to help with disinfecting the wound if it wasn't already. I applied the ointment onto the bandages and then slowly ripped off the old bandages on my wound, once I did so, I applied the newer bandages slowly, wincing as I went over each scratch.

I stood up and walked back into the bedroom, noticing Tara was slowly getting out of her deep slumber. I sat back on the bed and placed my hand on her back, as I did so, she woke up, though, she didn't move an inch. ''you awake? ''I whispered to her. she nods. ''Good morning. 'I grin at her as she turned over to look at me. ''morning. '' Tara stretched her arms out as she spoke to me. ''how'd you sleep? '' Tara asks me, looking directly into my eyes. ''I slept fine, my knee still hurts, but I put new bandages onto it.'' I reply. ''you?'' I asked her. Tara remained silent, seeming lost in my dark brown eyes. I didn't mind how she stayed quiet; it gave me more time to look at how beautiful she truly was. I've never really felt this way around her, or really anyone, it was weird.

I slowly cupped her face in my hands, leaning in and kissing her once again, but this time, it was more passionate. it wasn't aggressive at all, but I knew it meant something to both of us. I pulled our lips apart and whispered; ''is this okay? '' I asked her, as she nodded, I pulled her back in for another kiss.  Tara quickly rolled us over and kissed me deeper, now on top of me. I reached my hand over her head and gently pulled her hair. our lips departed and I whispered in her ear. ''I love you.' I noticed Tara's eyes light up. ''I love you too.''. I heard Taras heavy breathing as our lips met again.

I pulled Taras's hair and pulled her body closer to mine as much as I could. as our lips departed, Tara moved her lips down to my jawline, slowly moving down to my neck. I was so into what was happening, I didn't hear footsteps coming up the stairs to my room. I heard a knock and quickly pushed Tara off. my parents got home early from their trip. my parents opened the door and looked at me and Tara laying with music on. ''what are you two doing?'' they asked. ''nothing. we were just hanging out.'' Tara quickly responded.  

my parents slowly nodded, lifting their brows at me and looking away. ''okay.'' they replied to Tara. ''I'm surprised you came home this early. you were supposed to be home in a month or so.'' my parents blinked, and their eyes flicked away from Tara to me. ''we forgot something here. we're going to leave again tomorrow.'' my pupils flicked over to Tara, then to my parents. ''oh. okay,'' I nod at them, shutting my eyes and laying my head down on my pillow once again.

once they walked out of the room, my breathing heavied and I buried my face into my pillow, my eyes began to overflow with tears. why did they have to be back? I wish they never returned.  Tara looked over at me, not saying a word as she placed her hand on my waist and laid down, spooning me.

my eyes continued to overflow with tears until I couldn't hold them anymore, they came dripping down my cheek. I softly sniffled, trying my hardest not to make it obvious I was crying. but it was too late, I twitched my ear as I heard Tara mumble a soft apology in my ear. ''what?'' my voice was shaky as I spoke. ''I'm sorry,'' Tara repeated. ''I'm sorry your parents are back; I know how bad they are to you. I'm sorry you feel this way.'' Tara kept repeating the two words 'I'm sorry', and I hated it. ''stop, please.'' I mumbled, shakily breathing.  Tara grabbed my face and pulled me up into another kiss. this time it wasn't as passionate; it was more of a comfort. our lips broke apart and the tears that were overflowing in my eyes finally calmed down a bit as Tara wiped the remaining tears off my face. ''better? '' Tara asked me. I slowly nodded at her and grinned, leaning back into a kiss. her lips tasted like my cherry chapstick now, I loved it. my chapstick made her lips softer to the touch.  as Tara pulled my body in closer, I felt my cheeks heat up.

as I pulled away, I reopened my eyes and looked into her deep brown hues, and she looked into mine. my pupils flicked over to a small strand of hair in front of her left eye, I slowly moved my hand up and brushed it away from her face. I watched Tara blink slowly at me as I did so. I wrapped my arms around her neck and pulled her into a deep hug. I closed my eyes and dug my face into her shoulder.

'' I love you, T.'' I mumbled in her ear. ''I love you too. '' she responded softly.
