When I get that feelin, mmm you just my type🎶
There was no other feeling quite like this. To be away in our own little world as the sun slowly awoke. Victoria slept peacefully as I securely held her in my arms. Lightly massaging her scalp when her face would suddenly frown and her grip on my stomach tightened whenever I tried to move. Smiling to myself when I noticed her content expression resurfaced at my touch.
We had spent the previous night confessing our emotions to each other and laughing at our tribulations. A positive step forward that brought us closer together. Staring at one another in silence once we felt words exceeded what needed to be said and settled for enjoying each other's company until we fell asleep.
"Baby?" Victoria tiredly mumbled against my chest as she kept her eyes closed. "Hmm?" Surveying Victoria's relaxed face while I rested my hand on her back. "Why'd you stop?" Victoria whined as she nuzzled herself further into my pillowy chest. Tangling her legs with mine to hold me in place.
"Girl! I thought you were still sleeping!" Chuckling at Victoria's clingy antics.
"I was but keep going please." Huffing out a breath but doing what I was told because it's the least I could do after everything she went through to get here. "Fine." Victoria cuddled further into my hold as I continued my soothing touches.
"I love this. This feels...right." Victoria timidly stated before rubbing small patterns over my clothed stomach. "You feel right." She lifted herself from her position on my chest to look at me directly. Her eyes briefly dropped to my lips and scaled back up to meet my orbs once more. "You feel that too?" It was that magnetic pull that I was convinced I was hallucinating every time I was around her but Victoria's eager nod confirmed my question.
Resting my hand on the side of Victoria's cheek as I sat up to properly face her. She found herself sitting in my lap and snaking her arms around my neck, bringing me close. "Is this okay?" Her voice was soft and tender, this type of intimacy was something I wasn't used to but never wanted it to end.
"Of course, baby." Propping my head against her shoulder to plant a gentle kiss to the inside of her neck earning a hum from Victoria. "The one thing that crossed my mind when you left was that I never really got to hold you." Victoria leaned back and dragged her hands up until she cupped my cheeks, her orbs filled with so much love that it gave me butterflies. "I want to hold you and make everything alright when you're down. I want to kiss you to remind you how much I want you. But most of all I want to love you so hard that you'd never doubt where my heart stands. Can you allow me to do that?" Victoria shifted her pleading orbs between mine as I shook my head in agreement.
"Yes, as long as you let me do the same for you." Caressing her sides, I kept my gaze locked with her, playing with the hem of the t-shirt I let her borrow. "And since we are in a sentimental mood. I want to say thank you for everything. You didn't have to come across the country or even get a whole orchestra to show me how much you cared. You were patient with me and poured your heart out. I should've given you some grace, I just needed time to process but I'm ready now. I want this. I want you and everything that comes along with you." Victoria's lips stretched into a shy smile while her doe eye glittered between my own.
