Pleasing Silas

12

-Silas Diaz-

I dropped Sophia off back at the university, she needed space, and as much as I wanted to walk her to her dorm I didn't.

The last thing she needed was to be feeling suffocated, I drove to the nearest tattoo shop.

I asked Sophia's friend Annie if Sophia had any comfort foods since I had to wait for the tattoo artist to finish up.

She said depends on what happened, I gave a brief rundown of what happened since one she asked, two she's Sophia's best friend.

Annie told me to get her ice cream, and a few snacks since Sophia doesn't have a big appetite when she has her breakdowns.

And it's fine, I'd rather her yell at me and take anger out on me then on herself, she doesn't need to get mad at herself for whatever happened.

I know she doesn't mean it, but that's just what people do when they have built up anger, take it out on someone else.

The tattoo artist comes over to me and we go in the back "what can I do for you?" They ask

"Just outline over the sharpie on my right arm" I say to him, he gives me a confused look then nods

It takes almost an hour or so for him to tattoo what Sophia drew, once he was done I paid and went to the store

I grab cookies n cream ice cream along with cookies dough ice cream, I look around for something small that I can get for Sophia.

I know she likes those chocolate covered blueberries so I grab those, I grab her some candy too incase along with water.

I check them out and drive back to the university walking back to Sophia's dorm and knock on it.

It takes a few minutes for the door to open, she still has my sweatshirt on, sweats, puffy eyes and mascara under her eyes, yet she's still gorgeous.

Her eyes widened when she sees me "what are you doing here.." she asks crossing her arms over her stomach.

"To see how you are, I brought you snacks." I say, she nods slowly "well, you came by, I'm fine, thanks." She goes to close the door but I stop her.

"Talk to me tesoro, yell at me, hit me... just, do something." I say softly.

Sophia steps forward and wraps her arms around me crying into my chest, I wrap my arms around her waist, rub her back and kiss her head.

I pick her up and shut the door softly, set the bag on the desk and bring her to the bed holding her close.

She sobs into my chest, her body shaking "Ho te, Sophia, ho te, sei al sicuro, tesoro mio." (I've got you, Sophia, I've got you, your safe, my darling) I whisper softly

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Silas, I didn't- I didn't mean for it- I swear." She says, i shake my head "don't apologize Sophia, it's okay." I say rubbing her back, her body slowly stops shaking

"It's not, none of it is okay, i- I just..I just wish I could just tell you, tell you everything." She says "then tell me, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you all the time." I kiss her head

"I can't..." her voice is faint, as if she didn't want me to hear it, I don't push her to continue, I rub her back until she falls asleep.

I wipe her tears away, grab a tissue and wipe her mascara off from under her eye, i would grab her water but I can't leave her right now.

So I stay with her until she wakes up which is at eight pm "you're still here?" She asks staring at me and I nod "I'll always be here for you." I tell her and she nods sitting up crossing her legs rubbing her eyes.

She stares at her fingers and grabs her phone "I could've sworn I had mascara on-" she tells herself

"You did, I wiped it off for you." I say and she nods slowly "I'm sorry, I'm not used to this...affection" she sets her hands on her thighs shaking her head.

"That's fine Sophia, you don't need to apologize for not getting something you deserved" I push her hair out of her face

"I feel..disgusting." She tells me and I nod "I can go start the shower for you, and set clothes for you?" I ask and she nods slowly "thank you."

"Always Sophia."

I kiss her head and get out of the bed grabbing her sweats and everything she'll need before staring the shower making sure it's a comfortable temperature for her.

I remember she didn't like the water too cold, rathers the water to be hot, so I set the temperature to hot for her.

I walk back and step between her legs kissing her forehead "the showers just warming up, I'll be out here when your done." Sophia shakes her head

"You don't need to stay.." she says, this time i shake my head "I want to, let me stay for you, tesoro, let me be here for you" I say and she nodded before getting off the bed going to the shower

I got up and grabbed her snacks putting them in the nightstand, I grab her computer since I left mine, I go to Disney and go to Moana for her.

I change the the LED lights to green since she loves green I've noticed by her closet being filled with almost very shade of green, her school supplies are also green, most of them at least.

It takes an hour for Sophia to finish and when she does she hold her towel to her hair and stares at her dorm "should I ask- or should I have excepted this?" She asks with a faint smile.

I shrug "Whatever you want, Tesoro, I know you didn't eat at the restaurant so I bought snacks because I asked Anne if you had any comfort foods and she said depending on what happens effects your appetite." I say

Sophia nods going over her vanity, I watch her as she did her skin care, and then her hair, she was putting her hair products in to most likely keep the waves she has.

Once she was done she comes over to me and lays down "thank you for this..for staying after I sorta...freaked out" she says

"Always Soph, I'll always stay for you, and with you, and you never freaked out, it's okay." I kiss her lips softly rubbing her back

"Wanna watch the movie now?" I ask, she nods and cuddles next to me.

Finally becoming calm with herself.
