With You..Only You

Chapter 18: Peggy's POV

2 YEARS AGO

"Your lips, God," he says. "It was made for me, only me" he kissed me, passionately. 

"It is, only for you," I whisper to his moist lips. He is the most handsome man I've ever seen. I loved him more than anything.

"Really," he eyes me suspiciously.

"Yes, I love you, Ray," I said sincerely. "You are my life," 

"Then why did you go out with Alex," he pushed me away from his lap and stood up. His tone completely changed.

I got up and walks towards him. "What are you talking about," 

"Don't pretend you have any idea," he said. "You went out with him, talked to him," 

My breathing levels are up and down. "Ray, I don't know what you are talking. You have to trust me. Alex is your friend. He came in yesterday looking for you. I was just telling him where you are," I justified myself. I truly am innocent. 

"No, I don't believe you. I trusted you, Peg. More than anything but you..." he draws near me and choke me with his hand "You screwed him behind my back," 

I couldn't breathe. "No please, I don't..," I struggle under his hold. 

"Just to let you know something," he brings me near him, still holding my neck. Now we are nose to nose, and he's drilling holes in me. "No matter where you run, where you hide or God damn it, who you married, I won't leave you in peace."

Tears filling my eyes. Why is he doing this? Why is he not trusting me? I want him. I love him. I want to marry him but he's not trusting me. At all. 

"Please, Ray, trust me," I cried. "Trust me, I love you, please,"

PRESENT DAYS

"Trust me please, trus.." I woke up and my eyes are welling with tears. 

Sweat breaks at my eyebrows and my temple. It was a dream. I dream about him. Again.

He is not here. Not here to torment me. I'm safe. Totally saf...

I turn my head over to the left, noticing Steve sleeping beside me. His hands are on my waist, and he throws his legs on mine. His head lies near to my neck, and I can feel his breath on my skin. 

Normally when I have nightmares, especially about Ray, I will scream until mum and dad will be with me the whole night, consoling me. They mostly have sleepless nights because of my nightmares. I suffered much because of him. 

But today, it was a surprise I didn't react the same as before. I turn towards Steve.

I smile sweetly, "I know the reason," I whisper to myself. 

I bring my hands and stroke his hairs slightly. He's sound asleep. 

"Thank you," I say. "For saving me from my dreams,"

When I was about to turn from him, he drags me closer to him, tucking me under his leg and wraps me with his hands. 

For a moment I really forget how to breathe. I couldn't even if I want to.

He places his head at my neck and breaths in me. All I can know that he is breathing life into me.

His front is now attached to my back. Not even air could travel between us. 

I feel content and there is something I wish for tonight.

I don't want this night to end. 

I smile to myself, and my eyes are getting heavier. I'm back to having the best sleep after so long, with him behind me.
