Save Her

Chapter Four: Getting Together

Ezra and I agreed to take everything slow, but we were both impatient to be official.

Ezra called me, when I answered the phone he said quickly, "hey, love."

Love? That's new.  I loved it though.

"Yes, Ezra?" I asked him.

He replied,

"come over to my place, let's watch a movie tonight."
He then hung up the phone, not giving me time to answer.

I laughed at it a little then went to my room to get dressed.

Since we were only watching a movie, I threw on sweats and a hoodie, one of my favorite things to wear.

The sweats and hoodie were both baggy, only because I'm insecure about how my body looks.

Ezra tells me I'm beautiful no matter what but, I just can't seem to stop looking at myself differently.

I got lost in thought and lost track of time. I quickly threw my shoes on and headed out the door.

I walked to Ezra's and knocked, even tho he said I could walk in, he answered pretty quickly.

"I said you could just walk in, love" he said once he saw it was me.

"I know, im sorry. It just doesn't feel right walking into someone's house" I said with a soft smile.

I couldn't help but look at him, getting lost in thought.

He pulled me inside gently and we went up to his room. I was shocked upon entering his room.

He already had my favorite snacks and my favorite movie ready to play. I couldn't help but smile.

He remembered what movie I love and the snacks I love.

I started to think to myself, 'i think I'm falling deeper for him.'

Not that it's a bad thing, but I was scared to be in a relationship. I was scared of getting hurt, but the more I'm around Ezra, it changes.

Ezra makes me happy again, and distracts me from thinking of mom and I love that about him.

I was getting lost in thought again, when I snapped back to reality, Ezra was cupping my cheeks asking if I was okay.

"I'm okay." I said softly, smiling up at him.

"You scared me," he replied.

We got comfortable on the bed together. Once we were comfortable he played the movie.

My head was on his chest, my eyes fixated on the movie.

My eyes began to feel heavy, and I slowly fell asleep.

I felt Ezra pull me closer then kiss my forehead. He fixed himself and let me sleep.

Soon after he fell asleep too, but I don't remember if it was after the movie finished or right after I fell asleep.

In the morning, Ezra was the first to wake up, but he let me stay asleep.

When I woke up, he was walking into the room with breakfast on a bed tray.

He sat the bed tray infront of me. He made me fluffy pancakes with bacon and yogurt with orange juice to drink.

After finishing he took out the tray and dishes to the kitchen and came back.

When he returned he got in the bed beside me and held me close.
