Only you

Chapter 25

Part 25

Dakota's POV

I lie under the blanket cuddled up to Jamie. Here, in his warm, protectiv arms I feel save. And I really need it now. It was nightmare. How did he get my addresse ?

I can't stop thinking about what could have change him so much. When we were still together he never done anything more than screamed on me or pushed me. But this time it was far too much.

He hit me. He really has hit me. I felt like a dirt. I guess that our relationship meant nothing to him. I meant nothing to him. And I still don't.

But I don't care. Not anymore. I have new life and more important person to take care of. My only wish is to not see Matt again in my whole life. Never. Trembling I hide my head deeper on his chest.

-You okay ?-he asks.

I smile. I love his concern so much.

-Hmm...-I just do not want to say more. I like this peaceful silence too much.

I don't see his face now, but I know that he's smiling.

-I still think that we should go to police-he says after a while.

Immediately I shake my head. There is no way that I'll call the cops.

-Jamie I told you, it's bad idea.

-But he's still out there. What if he would like to go back ?

I close my eyes trying to throw that thought out of my head.

-We can't do it now. There is so many things...The movie...it could end bad.

He changes his position so now I face him.

-Dakota, don't get me wrong I enjoy working on set, really, but you're much more important than our movie-he says without breaking our eye contact.

-But Jamie...-I start, but I'm stopped by his finger on my lips.

-When I saw you like that...scared...wounded...For a moment I really thought that I lost you-his voice is silent, filled with pain, I can't take that.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I make him hide his face on my neck. He's breathing hard, like if he just woke up from a nightmare.

-Jamie-I whisper and he immediately rises his head up-You haven't lost me. And you won't-after that I kiss him.

Gently, sweet, fondly. I just want to calm him down. He slips his hands in my hair to pull me closer. With moan I open my mouth and let his tongue get inside.

He push me delicate so he can be on top now.

-I'm sorry-I say after we breaking our kiss-I'm just scared-here, I said that-So scared...

What am I afraid of ?

That Matt will come back. That he will hurt me, or worst Jamie. I don't know what to do...I really don't know.

-I know baby, I know. Me too-he whispers, kissing my head again and again.

If I could cuddle up to him more I would do that. Because for me it's still not enough. I even don't know when the tears started to run down my cheeks. I have never felt so weak, so helpless.

-I promise I'll protect you no matter what-Jamie says with his face in my hair.

I feel some relief. His words are so uplifting. It's so good to know that you're important to someone. That not everyone want to hurt you.
