A Week Later

I woke up early this morning, I look next to me to see Aurora sprawled out along the bed. I move and lay on top of her. I litter her face with kisses until she wakes up. She tries to move away from me but I just can't help but tease her a little bit with kisses.

I've never been this way for any girl before.

All of this is still so new to me.

"Baby stop," I laugh at her as she whines and then I stop kissing her face. I get up off of her and hop out of bed. I walk over to her side and pick her up bridal style, I then walk her to the bathroom.

I set her on the bathroom counter, I then walk over to the shower and turn the water on. She looks at me tiredly and I just can't help but stride over to her and kiss her cheek.

She really has no idea how beautiful she is.

I smile at her and then asked, "Take a shower with me?" She nods slowly but before we do anything we both brushed our teeth.

Once we were done I helped Aurora take her clothes off as I take mine off as well. We walk over to the shower and step in. The water was a little cold so I turned the heat up.

Aurora looked completely stuck in her thoughts as she showered. I lay my hands on her waist but she doesn't even seem to notice, I lightly pinch her sides and she flinches. She looks at me with tears in her eyes.

I move closer to her as she shakes her head 'no' to me. I ended up helping her wash her body and hair since she's not speaking or doing it herself.

After I washed my body and hair we got out of the shower. I put my towel on and then I gave Aurora hers. We walk out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. I go to the closet and grab us both clothes to wear before the gala.

I walk back in the bedroom. I look over to Aurora just sitting down on the bed, I hand her the clothes and she slowly puts them on.

What's going on with her today?

Did I do something?

Did I hurt her when I pinched her?

I put my boxers and sweats on and then sit down next to her. I look towards her and ask, "Are you okay?" She looks straight ahead and just nods without a word.

Something's obviously wrong I just don't know what.

I grab a hold of her hand and just hold it. She finally makes eye contact with me and she looks like she's about to cry. I pull her into a hug, she quietly starts to cry. I pull her onto my lap so she is straddling me and I can finally hold her properly.
