Safe In Her Arms

Melissa's POV:

I did it! I made love to Katie! And it was absolutely amazing! She was so gently and kept asking me if I was ok, or if I wanted to stop. God why did I wait so long to do this with her? It was truly wonderful. The Irish goddess has officially ruined me for everyone...not that I'd want to ever be with another human being in the world. Not when I am head over heels in love with Katie McGrath! She's still asleep...I'm lying here pretending to be asleep not because I need to but because she's so warm I don't want to leave the bubble. I rolled over and stared at her taking in all of her features. My eyes wandered over her porcelain skin of her face down to her pale pink lips still pouty from our last few tender kisses we shared before falling asleep.

I loved how she'd smile in her sleep sheen dreaming of something lovely. I slowly reached out and began tracing her face with my hand feeling the soft skin on her face. Her eyelids begin to flutter open and I pause my movements and wait to see if she opens them further. And she does. Katie's eyes flutter open and meet mine as a smile appears on her beautiful face. "Good morning." Katie's accent is always thick in the mornings. "Good morning." I replied with a small smile. "How long have you been up?" She asked. "Just a few minutes." I replied. "Are you hungry? We can get dressed and go get some breakfast." She said. "Mmm that sounds good." I replied with a smile.

Katie's POV:

A few minutes later we're in comfortable clothes and walking towards the cafe down the street from the house. "Why is so cold up here...even in the summer?" Melissa asked as she wrapped my hoodie around her neck. "It's not too bad love, come on a hot breakfast will warm you up." I replied wrapping my arm around her waist. "What can I get you for you ladies?" The waitress asked. "We'll take two orders of your largest breakfast on the menu." I replied after looking over at Melissa who nodded. "And to drink?" The waitress asked. I looked at Melissa silently asking her what she wanted. "Two hot chocolates with whipped cream." I replied. "How did you know what I wanted?" Melissa asked. "Cause I know you Mel...you eat the same thing every time we come here." I replied with a smile.

Our breakfast plates arrived at the same time that Chyler and Odette walked into the cafe. "Well hello there ladies!" Odette cooed as they took the booth near us. "Good morning." I replied with a smile. "Did you two sleep well?" Chyler asked looking at Melissa. Melissa's face began to turn pink. "We slept just fine." I said intervening. "Good...have you two ordered?" Odette asked. "Two o f the largest breakfast plates they have here. And hot chocolate." Melissa replied.  Our food quickly arrived and Melissa dug into her loaded hash browns. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I was so lost in watching her eat that I didn't hear Chyler ask me something until she asked me again. "Oh I'm looking forward for a long break in filming. It'll be good to relax without worrying about a phone call saying 'time to come in to film...blah..blah..." I replied.

"And where will you go when you're done filming?" Odette asked. "I'm not sure..." I replied looking between my plate and Melissa. I wanted to ask her about going to Ireland with me to spend time with me in my family's home, however I decided to wait until we were alone. Chyler and Odette's food came and they began making small talk amongst themselves leaving us alone to talk.

Melissa's POV:

After breakfast Katie and I had to head into the studio to shoot some 'supercorp' scenes. I could tell she had something on her mind but she didn't want to ask right away. "You ready Lena?" I asked teasingly. "Of course Miss Danvers." She replied with a smirk. Our scene went well as they always do when Katie and I are doing one together. I really hated my suit it showed off to much. I was in the midst of removing it when I felt arms wrapping around my waist. "Katie...your hands! They're cold!" I whined. "You weren't complaining about my hands last night." She whispered as she kissed my neck. "Are you gonna help me get out of this thing? Or are you gonna continue kissing my neck and leaving marks." I asked. "Hmm both. I'll help you out only if we can go for a walk after this." She replied.
