Anouk's pov

I woke up the next morning in strong arms. I smiled to myself and turned my head to look at the blonde that was with me in Katie's guest bedroom. Last night I felt incredibly safe in Leah's arms while we were watching the movies. I couldn't explain where the feelings came from, but it was utmost safety.

I looked at her face while she was still asleep. Her face held so much calmness and it was so peaceful. Her eyes had a newfound trust. It also scared me, but I felt like I could do this with her. She gave me the feeling like she would let me grow where and when I needed but would also be there to protect me. I would also do everything that I can to protect her.

Those blue eyes of hers slowly opened, slowly blinking to get used to the light that was coming through the closed curtains. The ray of light was resting perfectly on her face. I smiled when she opened her eyes, she slowly smiled back, obviously still waking up.

"Hi" I whispered, not quite believing that she could make me feel like this. Her smile slowly widened, her arms that were wrapped around me slowly rubbing circles on my back. I slowly connected my forehead with hers. Her eyes started to flicker from my eyes to my lips, my eyes doing the same. I saw the doubt in her eyes, not quite knowing if I was ready for it. She didn't want to push me. My lips suddenly felt very dry and I slowly licked my lips.

The tension between us was high and still rising. I saw her biting her inner lip, showing just a little bit of nervousness. Am I ready for this? I don't know. Do I like her? Yes. I think so at least.

I slowly raised my hand to her cheek, cupping her face gently. I could feel the anxiety radiating off of her. I closed the small gap that was between us, knowing that if I was going to experience these feelings, she would be the best option to do it with.

When our lips connected, I felt her relax under my touch, immediately kissing me back. It felt right.

Her soft lips moved in-sync with mine, a smile breaking out on her face. I couldn't help but smile with her. After a few seconds we both pulled away from each other, our eyes slowly opening. She giggled. God that giggle is cute.

I stroked her cheek as her strong arms were still wrapped around me. "Not to break up the mood or anything, but ate you sure that you feel safe enough to do this?" I smiled at her concern. "With you? Yes. Absolutely. If anyone can bring me peace right now, it's you."

She smiled at my words. I put my forehead back against her, resting in place.

Katie suddenly came running in, pointing wildly at us, taking a picture with her phone and then ran out again. We didn't even have time to react to her sudden interruption. I pecked Leah's lips. "You wake up slowly, okay? Take all the time you need, you can also borrow my clothes if you want to, because we luckily have the same size. Uhm, yeah. Now, please excuse me, I have to go and chase one McCabe."

She nodded her head and I pecked her lips one last time. They were addictive. And then I was sprinting out of the room and after Katie.

Leah's pov

"KATIE MCCABE, YOU LITTLE SHIT! WHERE ARE YOU?" I chuckled at hearing Anouk's voice booming through the house. As she was out of sight, I spread my arms on the bed, thinking about what just happened. I then silently celebrated, putting my fist in the air, a huge smile on my face. A sat up and shook all of my previous anxiety and now my excitemenr out of me.

Yes, she made me happy. Do I actually know her yet? No. But all I knew was that she had this aura around her when we were together that felt trusted. It felt like we have known each other for years. I got out of the bed and started to look through her clothes. There was absolutely no order in them. She just threw them in the closet in some kind of rush it seems. I chuckled and found a set of clothes that I really liked. I had to be honest. Her clothing style was amazing.
