I gently knocked on her trailer door, rainwater dripping from my soaked clothes. The smell of alcohol lingered in the air, reminding me of the struggles Nat had been facing. As she opened the door, surprise flickered across her face, but without hesitation, she pulled me inside and handed me a towel.
"I'm sorry for just showing up" I said, my voice trembling slightly. She leaned in for a comforting hug, unconcerned about getting wet, and asked, "Are you okay?" Our eyes met, and I couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervousness.
"My parents..." I whispered, my emotions overwhelming me. I looked down at the ground, unsure of how to express the weight on my shoulders.
With a gentle touch, Nat lifted my chin, urging me to look into her eyes. "i'm here for you, always" she said, her voice filled with genuine concern. "i love you Y/N"
Her words brought a sense of relief, and I felt the tension slowly dissipating. Nat took my hand, her touch warm and reassuring, and led me to her bedroom. The small space was cozy but filled with the undeniable scent of stale cigarette smoke and the struggle she had endured. However, it didn't matter because being here with her made everything feel a little lighter.
Guiding me gently to her bedroom, Nat rummaged through a drawer, pulling out a spare change of clothes.
As she handed me the clothes, I gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you, Nat" I said, trying to put my appreciation into words.
She smiled back, a softness in her eyes that made my heart skip a beat. "Always" she replied, her voice reassuring.
After getting changed into dry clothes, I sat next to Nat on the bed, the scent of the rain outside mingling with the familiarity of her presence. She shuffled back slightly, inviting me closer with a subtle gesture, patting her lap.
Without hesitation, I went over and laid my head on her lap, feeling an overwhelming sense of comfort and security wash over me. As she gently ran her fingers through my hair, a soothing sensation enveloped me.
With a tender and instinctual touch, Nat shifted us both slightly, moving our bodies into a gentle spooning position. My back now rested against her front, fitting together perfectly like two pieces of a puzzle. The warmth radiating off her body enveloped me, making me feel protected.
Her hand, with a soft caress, slipped under my shirt, sending a shiver of anticipation through me. The intimate contact felt comforting, and her arm gracefully wrapped around my waist, pulling me even closer. I could feel her steady heartbeat against my back, synchronizing with my own.
As Nat held me close in her arms, she leaned forward ever so slightly, her warm breath grazing my neck as she planted tender kisses. Each touch sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but turn around to face her, wanting to look into those captivating eyes that held so much love.
She obliged with a sweet smile, her lips now wandering across my face, leaving a trail of affectionate kisses. Her gentle touch caused me to giggle, the sound of our shared joy filling the small, cozy space of the trailer.
In the comfort of her embrace, I felt completely at ease. Our fingers interlocked naturally, like they were meant to fit together all along. It was a simple gesture, yet it spoke volumes about the depth of our love for each other.
As the rain continued to play its soothing melody outside, we lay together, wrapped in each other's warmth and affection. With her soft touch and the rhythm of her breathing, I found myself drifting to sleep, my mind finally at rest.
