Aerin's P.O.V
My heart skipped few beats as I heard him singing. Never in my life I heard such a soulful voice, ever.
I just stared and stared at him, completely lost. I loved music, so much. And his voice... it was able to touch my heart strings. His voice sent tingles all around my body.
"Your voice....."
"It's so mesmerizing, so beautiful, so addicting. I love it." I was captured, completely captivated by his voice.I stared at him, my eyebrows narrowed as I scanned him. He was .... I don't know what it was but I felt something, something so different ; something that I was unable to put into words. He was mysterious.
It all just felt really familiar, his presence, the way I felt around him. I was so comfortable with him already when we had just met a day ago. It felt as If I knew him for a long time, but I really didn't.
His presence seemed familiar. I couldn't pin-point exactly how I was feeling like this.
I felt something, something deep in my soul. And deep down I knew what it was, but I wasn't realizing it.
"Done staring?" I came back into the real world by his voice.
I looked around, it was dark and scary now. I started having those bad feelings again, I was scared of the dark.
I slowly shifted back to try to stay as close as I could stay with him. The forest was deep and scary. Long bushes and trees were around us and there seemed no way out.
Would I have survived for this long if he wasn't beside me?
I didn't want to think about it.He wrapped the shawl around both of us again and held my hands from both sides. He sensed my uneasiness.
"I'm here, right beside you."I shifted closer back until my back touched his body. I slumped in to hide completely from the surroundings.
I didn't want to speak about anything, I just wanted to stay like this.
"Just close your eyes and relax okay? I'll watch out for us."
I couldn't say anything so I just nodded in response.
I closed my eyes and tried not to think about it. A loud voice of a wild animal echoed through the forest.
I flinched with fear and held his hands tightly which immediately wrapped around my waist. I shifted as close to him as possible and his in his arms. I was scared to the point when I was scared to breathe. I shut my eyes tight and his in his chest.
"Nothing will happen okay? Bella is fast, she will run whenever she senses danger. I'm beside you, okay?"
He hid me even more, completely covering me with the shawl. He kept the fabric on my ears too, I couldn't hear anything except for his heartbeats anymore. I clutched to him tightly like my life depended on it.
"Don't leave me." I whispered in a hush, my voice was coming out in breaths.
He had his arms wrapped tightly around my waist and he leaned to put his chin on my head.
"I won't, I promise."He spoke and I instantly felt assured. All I needed was to hear this words from him, to feel protected. And with that last thought, I drifted into slumber in the arms of him.
.................
I woke up when I felt sunlight on my face. I felt warm as I was still wrapped in a shawl like a koala.
I tried to move but I couldn't see anything and my body had become stiff.
I slowly peeked out of the shawl only to see his sleepy face, messy hair. What a beautiful view....
