Only you

Chapter 16

Part 16

Dakota's POV

Gently stroking on my head slowly makes me wake up. I open my eyes but immediately I close them again. I'm too tired. Because of this whole situation, because of Matt and all those tears that I cried out.

-Dakota, baby wake up.

I would recognized this whisper everywhere.

-Mmm...-now I can't say nothing more.

I hear his smile, and minute later I feel delicate kiss on my forehead.

-Come on you lazy one.

Me ? Lazy ? Yes, you are.

Reluctantly I open my eyes. Small smile appears on my faces just after I see Jamie's face. His view makes me feel a little better. Slowly I sit but I'm still on my bed.

-Here-he says putting on my lap tray with food-You need to eat.

Did he really make all of this by himself ? For me ?

-Thank you-I say taking one bite of my toast. As always it's delicious-You didn't have to.

-Yes, I did. First you probably haven't been eat all day, and second it's almost 7 p.m. You need to eat. I don't want you to faint or worse.

I look at my watch. He's right.

-Have we really slept so long ?-I ask taking another bite. I guess I was really hungry.

-Yep, since I came here you slept 5 hours or so.

-What about you ?

-I was sleeping too, but shorter. An hour maybe two.

-So what were you doing past three hours ?-I'm really curious. What could he do ? Well, if he was here probably not too much.

-As you see recently I did you something to eat, and earlier I was just lying here with you.

-And you didn't sleep ?

He giggles, shakes his head and quickly climbs on the bed so now he's next to me.

-What were you doing ?

He rises his hand to my cheek and stroke it lightly.

-Looking at you.

I frown. Is that it ? He was looking at me ? For nearly two hours ?

-You must be really bored-I say getting back to my food.

-Why ?-he asks.

-I can't imagine that my view could be so interesting.

It's true. If I were him I wouldn't do that. I would rather look at him. Because this view for sure is more interesting.

-You're wrong.

I look at him. What ?

-I love watching you. When you sleep you're looking so peaceful. Beautiful.

I bite my lip and look down. How can he do all those things to me only by words ?

I put the tray on my bedside table. Maybe I didn't eat much but I'm full already. Turning around I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. Just like that. I miss his soft lips so much.

I smile when I hear his moan when he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. The kiss is slow, delicate, sweet. Perfect. I just want to have him close to me, to make sure that he's mine.

We pull out and I press my forehead to his. His arms are still wrapped around me and I know there is no other place I want to be. Because here between his warm, protective arms is where I meant to be.

I open my eyes but his are still close. He giggles when I put small kiss on the tip of his nose. After a second he hides his head in the crook of my neck. I can't stop big smile.

My prince.

Suddenly my smile disappears. His prince. Of course he is. And I ? Every time when I'm happy something bad must happen. Why ? I really don't know.

And now when I'm happier than ever the worst thing from my past  have to get back. It's not fair.

Slowly I pull out but can't look him in the eye.

-Dakota ?-I hear so much tenderness in his voice.

Oh my...It will be difficult.

-I guess I owe you an explanation-I whisper and sit next to him.

He takes my hand in his and puts delicate kiss on it.

-Only if you want to.

I think about it for a second. Do I want to tell him all of that ? I want to build strong relationship with him. I want us to be honest with each other. I take a deep breath.

-Well, before we met I had boyfriend for two years. His name was Matt Hitt and I met him on some event where he was playing-when I see his confused look I quickly explain-He is a musician. At the beginning everything was great. I was happy.

I look at him and he nods giving me to understand that I can continue.

-I knew that before we met he was having some problems with drugs. When we were together he kept telling me that he has nothing to do with this-I snort-But I knew that when he was out with his friends or when he was on a concert...I knew that he was still taking them. And sometimes I have seen him when he was on drugs.

Immediately I feel tears in the corners of my eyes. Don't cry Dakota, don't cry...Not now.

-And then he was really aggressive...He didn't care about anything...

-Did he beat you ?-he's angry I know that. I hear it in his voice, and he squeezed my hand tighter.

-No. He never hit me, just...He treated me like dirt. He shouted, did brawl. After that he was saying he's sorry and I always forgave him. I thought that maybe he care about me. Even a little...

I don't know when the tears started to run down my cheeks.

-He only needed me when he wanted to...-it will not pass by my throat.

-And recently Eloise told me that she saw him here in some bar. He want to meet with me...And I'm just scared, so scared...

Now I really start to cry. It's just too much for me. I can't take it anymore...

-No baby, ssh-I'm even not sure when he took me in his arms-Don't cry Dakota, please.

I hide my head on his chest and try to calm my nerves. Slowly my sobs cease.

-He never cared about me. Am I really so unimportant ?

-No ! Of course not-he takes my head with both of his hands-You are important. You're the most important person in my life. When you didn't show up at work or call this morning I didn't know what to do. The thought that something could happened to you was killing me.

I have tears in my eyes again. But this time these are tears of happines. Here, surrouned by his arms I feel safe. I feel loved.

-Do you need anything ?-he whisper in my ear.

I look up at him, and suddenly I have this wonderful idea in my mind.

-You. I need you.

He smiles.

-You have me. I'm here.

Instinctively I move closer to him.

-But I want all of you-I feel that his all muscles tense under my touch.

-Really ?-he asks inches from my lips-Well, I think we need to do something about it.

PS:Another chapter, it's quite long. I'm so happy that there are so many of you. I promise that I will be updating as often as I can. If I will have as much time as now maybe I'll be even updating everyday.
