I tried to hold her again yet delicately, only for her to pull it away roughly
"Y-you can't touch me!" She yelled lowly, I could see the pool of tears kept flowing down her closed eyes, her nose turned red and lips puckered into a pout, and she kept on weeping
Her state was freaking me out and I had no idea what to do
I sighed as I ran hand through my hair before I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me
While she tried again to pull back, I pulled her closer
By now I was sitting on my knees near her, grabbing both of her wrists in one hand, while my other hand travelled all the way behind her back as I gently pulled her closer to myself making her sit
"Shh shh Princess it's me shhh" I kept muttering in her ear, rubbing on her back, back and forth, as I gently placed her right hand around my neck and wrapped my arms around her tiny frame, pulling her closer.
My right hand travelled to her scalp, soothing her soft hair, while the other held her back to her in place
I could feel body shivering, and a side my neck was wet, where she had buried her face, as her grip around my neck tightened "shh Love it's me shhh" I kept whispering near her ear while stroking her soft hair and pulling her into me, I realised she was already into my lap with both the legs either side of me
"H-he's so b-bad" her sniffing words came out as a whisper and I tightened my grip around her
And the next thing I knew, my lips pressed to her earlobe as I whispered back "my Love you have me, you're in my embrace, nobody can harm you, no one!"
I kept soothing her until I felt her nerves calmed down a little I whispered again "my Lord has given you back to me, there's no chance I'll let anything harm or even touch you, my embrace is where you belong to"
"Don't leave me again"
To say I was left stunned by her words with be understatement, I felt tranquil, I felt my whole world was in my arms and there's nothing else that I'd ever ask for, with that she wrapped her arms tightly around my neck and dug her face in the crook of my neck. For some reason those words left a mark, at that moment I realised as big of a douché I had been to her, she was always right
I stayed like that for a moment, holding her in my arms until I could feel her stable breathing, turning a little to my right I gently lay her down on the mattress not before fixing her pillow, my eyes rake through her soft features as I gently reach out to her face and caress her cheek. I rubbed my thumb under eyes where there were traces of dried tears, her features looked calm unlike the panicked ones back then
I tucked a loose strand behind her ear, I saw her stir in sleep making me pull my hand away as I was about to get up, I realised how her tiny fist had clutched to my shirt as she slept peacefully with her lips into a pout making me smile.
