CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR

"I bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days too. Take care of the blood that your love runs through. I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does. You were laughing last week at something I dreamed of."

                          Scarlett's POV

I stir awake in my own bed, I'm a little confused for a minute, this was not were I was when I fell asleep. Not that I even remember falling asleep, I know I didn't intend to. The solid mass I feel pressed against me from behind and draped over my lower half where our legs are tangled together let's me know I'm not alone and him coming back hadn't just been a blissful dream. This has to be the best way to wake up. I move slightly so I can see what the time is.

"Sweetheart, go back to sleep. It's stupidly early." His sleep drenched husky voice sounds from behind me. 

"Dare I even ask how I got to bed?"

"Nope, just enjoy it." The man has a point why question it when I can just enjoy being in his arms. I turn over and push him gently onto his back. Then I lie with my head on his chest, he kisses the top of my head as I put my leg over him, snuggle up and drift back off to sleep.

When I finally do wake up it's half past seven in the morning. I much more reasonable time. I wake Jay up, or at least try to. There's no moving him at all, he looks so sexy and peaceful. I get up and carefully as I can, the man deserves his rest after the past few days, and head to the bathroom. Feeling how sore my body is after the past few days I decide a nice hot bubble bath is in order and what I deserve. I'm used to working out and things, but Jensen seems to have worked muscles I didn't know I had, I think as I stand to start running the bath. I have a shower while I wait for it to run, something about being clean before I soak. I hear Jay shout my name, I may have wanted to leave him to rest but looks like me not being in bed with him is enough to wake him up today. 

"I'm in here." I shout back in response.

"You looking for a repeat of yesterday morning?" He says as he enters the room and spots me in the shower. The sight of him stood there wearing nothing but a smirk is enough to short circuit my brain and now I'm hot and wet and it has nothing to do with the shower.

"No, I was thinking about washing and then soaking in the tub." I answer as he stops and stares at me through the glass with a pout on his lips. "You can either join me or make breakfast."

"That's an easy choice," he says as he steps into the shower with me. "If I had known I would have been showering in here this much I would have brought some stuff in with me."

"Maybe we should just buy you some stuff to keep here."

"I like that idea, seems a little permanent."

"Shit, it does, doesn't it? I didn't intend for it to come out like that."

"Two days darlin' that's all I need." He tells me and kisses my head. I wish he would stop all this. We've only known each other a few weeks. It's ridiculous to me that I can feel so much in such a short space of time. Maybe it's because this is the first relationship I've had since he who shall not be named. Hell, I'm not even sure I should class this as a relationship. Is that what we are? or are we just having fun? Could it be I'm just getting carried away with it all. All that I'm feeling is just because he's the first person I've been attracted to in so long.

"I've lost you again haven't I?" He asks waking me from my daze.

"Sorry. Just got a little deep in thought."
