Stuck At Default

DEATHS ARE ALWAYS HARD.

Trevor's POV

Turning in my sleep was difficult, all because of the beautiful body draped over me. I turned my head to gaze at her, while she slept peacefully. Her face, with those beautiful hazel eyes and arched eyebrows and perfect full lips, was a piece of art. Her long chestnut brown hair, was spilled all over her cream pillowcase. Her beauty took my breath away.

Mia was sleeping soundly, all cuddled upto me. Her face was pressed in between my upper arm and torso. Her hand was splayed over my chest and her legs were tangled up with my own. As I said, she was completely draped over me and I was loving it, because she was mine. Mine. To keep and cherish and love. Forever.

''It's creepy.'' She mumbled in her sleep.

''What is babe?'' I ran my fingers through her hair. It was like running my hand in silk.

''You. Staring. At me. It's creepy.''

This time, she got up, her eyes still half closed and kissed the corner of my mouth.

''You're so fucking perfect.''

I cupped her face and kissed her tenderly.

''So, my mum wants us over for dinner tonight.''
I said.

''Yeah. That's great. I was thinking about calling her anyway. How is she holding up now?'' She flipped the egg perfectly.

''She's doing fine now. I mean I know it's gonna take a while for everything to go back to normal.''

She switched off the stove and came towards me, looping her arms behind my neck. She placed a kiss on the center of my chest.

''It's just difficult for me to see my mother so sad and broken. She doesn't show it when she's among people, but I know her. I mean, I can never imagine, how much losing your mother could hurt. I just don't know how to help her.''

''All you can do is just be there for her. Healing is a long process, and it will come from within her when she's ready.'' She said, placing her head on my chest.

I placed a kiss on her head. Her sweet smell grounded me, releasing the tension from my body.

''Okay. So, how about I pick you up at 6:30? Good with you?''

''Yeah. That'll work. We can grab a bottle of wine on the way. I am expecting you know what they like.'' She tried to lighten the situation.

Going back to the stove, she placed a plate with eggs, sausage and toast in front of me. The food smelled delicious. After a couple of minutes, she joined me with her own plate.

''Mum and dad, both, like completely different wines. What are you gonna do then?'' I teased her.

''Simple solution. We'll just get what your mother likes. Because women have the best taste.''

----------------------------

It's been more than a week since I've been back and the time spent with Mia had been heaven. But since I'm back, I've been noticing slight changes in her. It's not like her feelings towards me have changed, but something changed in her. Sometimes, when she's sitting idle, she just goes into some other zone. Like she gets completely cut off from the world.

Or, sometimes I see this deep sadness in her eyes. There are no tears or anything, but just this soul-deep sadness. And the worst part is, I don't know what's wrong with her. She tries to act normal with me, all fun and jokes and that adorable laugh of hers. I just wanna know what's wrong with her.

Whenever I try asking her what's wrong, she just smiles at me and denies it, completely changing the topic. I honestly don't want to push her, but I just want to help her. I cannot do that unless she let's me in.
