Pleasing Silas

33

-Silas Diaz-

Just like I knew it, things would be awkward once we came back

Sophia comes to breakfast and sits with me but the conversations are awkward, I notice how people leave her alone when she's near me.

Other than that they don't leave her alone and I've had many conversations with them.

Her and I were walking to dinner and she's wearing sweats and a hoodie she recently cut her hair, not too much but whatever needed to be cut.

She seems happier, maybe it's true that hair holds memory, and she wanted to get rid of those three weeks, either way I'm proud of her, I will never get tired of making sure she hears that.

I tell her that almost everyday now, maybe she's tired of it. But i am. So fucking proud

She sits at the table we usually sit at and I go grab us food

She doesn't talk much and it's fine, as long as she's eating it's fine.

She covers her left arm most of the time, I think there's a faint scar from it..

I watch as she does her homework and draw probably making designs for a tattoo "when do you want a tattoo?" I ask Sophia dk she looks up at me and shrugs

"Maybe soon..why?" She asks "just wondering." I say maybe I'll surprise her with a tattoo, I know how much she talks about wanting to do that bow on her shoulder.

I'll probably request a female tattoo artist for her, I doubt she'd be comfortable with another male touching her

After a while we finished eating and Sophia looks like she needs to sleep, and has also said she feels like falling asleep right here.

We get up and I walk her back to her dorm

Things have been awkward since Sophia's been back, I'm not sure when things will be better, she's needed time before deciding if we should get back together or not, either way I'll be okay with whatever she decides

I was walking her back to her dorm as she stood there playing with her sleeves, I stopped infront of her door as she did the same.

"I guess I should..go." Sophia mumbled, I nodded "goodnight Sophia." I said, she nodded "goodnight Silas." A small smile was on her face, it's the first time she's smiled publicly since she's been back.

I'm left standing at the door before I start walking away, I hear the door open and see her looking at me.

Sophia walked up to me and wraps her arms around my neck kissing me, I freeze before kissing her back, I wrap a hand around her waist as I rest the other on her hip.

As if time is moving slow I try and savor this, the way her lips move slowly against mine, how she plays with the ends of my hair, Sophia doesn't pull away until were forced to due to the lack of oxygen.

She leads me into her dorm and slams her lips back on mine, I'll do anything she wants, she wants me to continue, I'll continue, she wants me to stop, I'll stop, she wants to just use me for a getaway from reality, she can.

I pull Sophia to my lap and groan when her hips move against mine "we shouldn't now." I say hovering my lips over hers.

My lips are on hers again "I know." Sophia says breathing heavily, her lips are on mine and we repeat that until we no longer have the energy to kiss.

I hold her close "can you stay until I fall asleep?" She asks i nod "Resterò tesoro, resterò." I say running my fingers up and down on her arm making her hum (I'll stay darling, I'll stay.)
