talk to me

Maya and I are sitting on the couch watching one of her favorite movies. We both had the night off after a couple weeks of opposite schedules with her getting home in the middle of the night and me leaving early in the morning. Because of that, we haven't been able to see each other much at all so we decided to spend the night in each others arms watching our favorite movie.

Maya was curled up on my lap and my arms were wrapped around her torso. She was playing with the rings on my fingers and from that and how mentally distant she has been recently, has told me something is wrong. She normally talks to me whenever she has something on her mind but if we haven't had much time together or she has been overly stressed she tends to push everything down and go back to her old ways of "eyes forward".

"Hey bella, what are you thinking about?" I questioned while rubbing her arm for comfort. "Nothing, i'm fine babe" she responds without thinking. "Darling, I can tell by the way you're playing with my rings that something is bothering you" I reply in a calm tone hoping to persuade her to talk to me. "It's stupid, don't worry about it" she replies and looks at me. "It's not stupid if it's bothering you bambina" I add.

"It's just i-" she sighs. She turns completely around to face me and I cup her face in my hands. "You can talk to me bella, I want to help" I whisper to her, hopefully making the situation more comfortable. "I feel like i've been so needy recently and I don't want you to get annoyed and leave me and I know we both have been really busy so I should just figure it out on my own and not waste our time with my stupid problems" she lets out all in one breath while simultaneously trying to get off my lap.

I sit her back down and say "Bambina, I want you to know that you are never needy. You asking to cuddle with me in bed or wanting to be close to me in public or taking baths with me at night will always be something that I want to do with you forever. And you asking for extra reassurance in some situations will never annoy me, I will always be happy to give it to you because it also means that you feel comfortable enough to tell me what you need. And i'm so proud of you for being able to tell me what it going on in that beautiful brain of yours and ask for things you need. I know that is incredibly hard for you to do because of how much your father made you handle on your own when you were younger but I never want you to try do deal with things on your own".

I can see a few tears rolling down her cheeks so I wipe them with my thumb and continue. "I always want you to come to me whether you just feel like you need me to hold you or if you need help making a decision, I will be here to hold you, and help you talk through whatever you need to. That's what i'm here for, so don't ever be afraid to talk to me bella. I love you so much".

By this point we both have tears in our eyes and Maya has now wrapped her arms around me and buried her face into my neck. I reciprocate the hug and she whispers "I love you even more, I don't know what I would do without you".

I pull away from her embrace to give her a passionate kiss before we move to lay down and continue the movie. Maya is laying directly on top of me and her head resting on my boobs with me kissing the top of her head occasionally. My arms are wrapped tightly around her body so she knows I will always be there.
