Loving Her

Part Twenty-Three

Liv's POV :

Waking up and slowly opening my eyes, i smiled about last night. I don't know what we are right now, but i just hope everything is good. I looked up on her chest and saw her messy hair covering her beautiful face with sunlight hitting her. I don't get tired of it, waking up in her arms, holding her, hugging her, everything about her has this special feeling that makes you feel special too. Pulling away some hair on her face for a better view, which melted my heart in a sec. I giggled, and i guess i was being a little loud because she tightened her grip on my waist. I smiled, "Rhea ?" I whispered so slowly playing with her hair. She didn't answered and i turned around and laid on her. I played with her hair with my fingers, "I know you are awake." I smiled on her lips, waiting for her. She finally opened her eyes, and my face dropped. Gosh, her eyes are like an ocean, and I'm like a ship who is sinking into it. "Morning, princess." She smiled, pulling me out of my deep thoughts. "How did you sleep ?" I asked her smiling, and she brought her hands up to my face, pulled some straps of my hair behind my ears. "It was good." She nodded, and i put my head down on her chest with her hands on my hair and my own hands on her cheeks. "Feeling better ?" I questioned her calmly, rubbing her cheeks with my thumbs. "Mhm, i think i'm getting better." She said on top of my head, more like mumbling. "I'm gonna go take a shower." I said, kissing her cheek and getting up. She held my hand, "Can we stay a little longer in this bed ?" She asked, pulling down her brows and smiling a little. She looks so cute now, i leaned down, "Nope. Sorry." I said, giving her a sad smile and a peck on her lips. I made my way, and she groaned. I laughed and walked into the shower.

I walked out with my towel around me and drying my hair. I saw Rhea still sleeping. "Wake up, it's getting late." I shook her arm and raised my voice. Sometimes, she can get a little childish. But i don't blame her. Last night was tough for us. Especially for her. I looked through the closet, and i looked back at her she was sitting on the bed looking at her hands. I sighed, and she looked up and down at me. She took her eyes off of me and got up nervous. I bent down my eyebrows in confusion, "Is something wrong ?" I asked her and took out an outfit, putting them on the bed. She cleared her throat, "N-no, no, everything is... fine." She smiled, holding her hands up and putting them down in its place. I slowly walked to her and put my hands on her shoulder, "You sure ?" I managed to smirk a little. She looked at my eyes for a second, then looked down. "I just, i um, i don't want to l-look at you like that. I don't want to be disrespectful." She said with a small smile, eyes back and forth to my eyes and floor. I chuckled, leaning closer to her face, "You are not being disrespectful." I said and kissed her cheek. She wrapped her arms around me on the towel and hugged me.

Rhea's POV :

I'm trying so hard not to stare. She has her own privacy, and me looking at her would be something rude. I walked out, and she was looking stunning in her outfit. I breathed out with a laugh, and she looked up, "You look absolutely amazing ." I said and sat down on the bed. She chuckled and made her way in my direction. "Thank you." She said, cupping my cheeks and wrapping her legs around my waist and sitting on my lap. I was totally surprised, like, i didn't even know where to put my hands. I let out a sigh with nodding my head and smiling. "Can you clean my wounds ?" I asked her, looking up, and she nodded, "Of course. Let me get bandages." She said, getting up, and i smiled.

She came back, taking a chair and placed it in front of me, and sat down. I took off the bandages in my hands slowly and wincing in pain. She leaned forward and cleaned them, "It looks better." She said, still focusing on my hands. "Yeah, it it." I nodded, and she took out new bandages and wrapped them around my hands. "Thanks." I smiled, and she got up, "Anytime, babe." She smiled, and i blushed a little, but i hid it. She just called me, babe. Whoa, Rhea, stop, don't act surprised. She kissed my cheek and walked away. I chuckled and rubbed the bridge of my nose.
