Bella's pov:
I twiddle with my fingers and let out a long sigh god he's going to think I'm a fucking nutcase. I look at him he's waiting for me to speak god here goes nothing.
"You see I'm alone in the world I have no one." He just looks at me and places a support arm around me, "my parents and my brother and sister were murdered 4 years ago I came home from work one day to find their bodies, an image that still haunts me to this day." " oh Bella, I'm so sorry." It's was comforting to know he was listening. " my life had fallen apart, and I didn't know what to do. Luckily had Millie my best friend she would always tell me things were gonna be alright." I told Charles everything about that night. He didn't say anything he just listened closely to everything I had to say he wasn't judging he wasn't condescending. He just smiled and nodded, and let me explain my story. " and that's how I met Lewis that night. he gave me a home and he gave me a life. It may not of been a life that I wanted, but it was better than being alone. He wasn't always like this not for the first few months. At least he was kind and caring, although that was just a front. The more the months grew on the violence and rape would get worse. I would question myself all the time but I knew if I left I'd have no one no one knew what was going on behind closed doors when we would go out he would be so perfect. Millie loved him. She thought he was good for me, but she couldn't see behind the mask I was screaming to get out." It told Charles more about Lewis what he was capable off the things he would do to me. " and I knew I needed to run. I didn't know where I was going. I just ran. I ran into you. You saved me and you don't even know it. He mentioned something about my family's death, something he didn't mean to let out as now I know, he was the reason behind it all. The pain and torture is never ending, and I just need a way out. If you didn't save me I think I would've join my family tonight." We sat in silence for awhile not knowing what to say to each other I knew it was so much to take on board, but I couldn't lie to him. Charles Got up , I thought he was going to leave, I wouldn't blame him for leaving for if this was on the other foot I would've run like Hell. Why do you stay? He paces up down the room until he finally sat closer to me. He engulfs me in a warm, embracing hug stroking my hair and kissing my head. Is he going to hate me? Is he going to leave? Why is he not saying anything? So many questions flooding my head, I feel the world crushing down on me until he opens his mouth to speak. I can't help but not stare at those gorgeous green eyes.

Charles pov:
How was she so calm? life's throwing so much at her her pain is constant. She doesn't seem to catch a break. I listen to everything she tells me the full story anger boils in me. How can a man lay his hands on a woman and abuse her trust touch her without contest. Lay his fingers on parts that are so private and should only be touched in love, so fragile she can't help herself.  I get up the Anger is rising I pace up and down the room I don't know what to say to her I do the only thing I know will comfort any women. I find myself sitting so close to her I place both my arms around her she cuddles into the crook of my neck I feel her warm shaken breath on my neck I stroke her wet hair and kiss her head to tell her I'm here. We sit like this for awhile it feels right we have done that a lot tonight the silence comforts us both. I look down to see if shes awake as she hasn't move in awhile she looks up we both look at each other I want to tell her something I open my mouth but stop. Her eyes caught me in a trance I don't know what came over me I lean forward putting my hands on her cheek creasing the smooth skin under my thumb. My mind spins in confusing do I kiss her? Does she want this? Before I make a decision she latches her plumped rose red lips on mine. Her mouth moves in rhythm to mine her hands find their way to the back of my head as she plays with my hair I feeling I love. her tongue enters my mouth parting it with pleasure this feels wrong but so right at the same time. She's emotional right now I feel like I'm taking advantage of her I take my head back she looks at me broken.
"I'm sorry" she whispers.
The words she said before still in my head she had no one in this world I want her to have someone I want her to have me.

"You do have something in this world you have me mon amour let me in"
