(Reece's pov)

I'm on my way to Marjorie's nursery, to pick her up. I've missed her a lot more today, more than usual, and I just need a hug from her. I pull up in the car park and get out, heading towards the nursery and then the office. I hear a conversation between Marjorie and a parent, so I stop by the door, waiting for them to finish.

"Well Marjorie, that's all sorted then." the parent says.

"Uhm yes it is, now I'm ever so sorry but I do have to be on my way now." Marjorie responds, in her gentle warm parent voice.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, you know, you look gorgeous today." the parent bluntly states, and I feel myself filling with rage. No one talks to my girl that way, but I stop myself before barging in, I trust Marjorie can sort it out.

"Oh.. uhm.... sorry, I do have a boyfriend to get home to, he is probably waiting for me so we can eat." she says, picking her bag up and making an exit for the door, when the parent grabs her by her waist. "Hold on, not so fast." he says into her ear, and now my blood is boiling, and I storm in.

"Excuse me? Where do think the permission was for you to put your hands on her?" I ask, as he lets go of Marjorie, whose eyes are glistening with fear.

"Oh.. my bad, I just wanted to talk to her, it won't happen again." the parent replies, as I take a step closer to him, towering over him.

"Oh no it won't happen again, because you are no longer welcome here, you will have to find your daughter another nursery." I reply, I'm not having this man in this building again. "You can't..." he starts, but as he looks at me, he decides not to pick that battle, "Ok whatever, I'm leaving." he finishes, exiting to building at lightning speed. Now that's over, I turn my attention to Marjorie.

"Hey gorgeous, you ok?" I ask, as I walk closer to her and go to put my arms around her, when she flinches and backs up. "I'm sorry Reece, can we just go home, I need to shower." she asks, looking at me. "Yes love, let's get you home." I reply, letting her walk out, following behind. We both climb into the car, and I start driving, about to put my hand on her thigh where it normally rests, but I hesitate as she might not want to be touched, so I rest it on the gearstick instead.

He's so sweet, he defended me to that parent who touched me. I want nothing more than a hug from Reece, I need a hug from him, but I need to shower first, no one had touched me there other than Reece, and it makes me shiver any time I think about another persons arms there. I watch him go to put his hand on my thigh like normal, then hesitate and puts it elsewhere in the car. He is so attentive and understanding.

We pull up into the driveway and make our way into the house. I head straight upstairs to the bathroom, whilst Reece heads into the kitchen, I assume to make food.

Once I'm done in the shower, I go to find some light clothes, it's too hot to wear anything other than that. I grab a pair of my shorts and grab one of Reece's t-shirts, I love wearing them, they smell like him.

I head downstairs, smelling the beautiful aroma throughout the house of whatever Reece was cooking, I can't quite tell what it is but it just makes me even hungrier.

I get into the kitchen to find Reece plating our food. "Hey gorgeous, I just made us some pasta really quickly, is that ok?" he asks to which I respond with a nod and a smile, following him to the dining table. We eat in silence, which isn't normal as we usually talk about our days, well I normally talk and Reece listens, but I just want silence today. Once we finish, he grabs the plates and heads to the sink to wash them up. I follow back into the kitchen and jump up on the counter behind him, waiting for him to finish. Once he does, he turns around and faces me, smiling and making him way over to me, stopping a few steps in front of me.

"It's ok, I feel a lot better after the shower, please come here, I need a hug." I say, opening my arms for him to walk in to, which he does, I wrap my body around him, and put my face into his neck, I can't feel close enough. He just wraps his arms around me and stands there holding me. "I love you Marjorie" he whispers into my ear.

"I love you too Reece, who knows what could of happened if you didn't show up when you did, you are my saviour" I respond, choking back tears when I think of what could of happened. "He will never be able to hurt you, or get close to you again, it's ok now, you're safe." he says back, and with that I break down crying, I knew I was safe to do this with Reece. My sobs are uncontrollable, I can't stop them and Reece just stands there holding me, letting me know it's ok and I'm safe with him. I love this man. After a while, my cries have subsided and I remove my head from his neck, and move my gaze to meet his, crashing my lips into his.

He breaks away to start speaking, "Should we go watch a movie in bed, get all comfortable and tucked in for the night?" he asks, with a smile. I can never say no to that, so I nod and he lifts me up off the counter and carries me upstairs, laying me down gently on my side of the bed, before climbing into his and opening his arms for me to move into, which I do. Once we are comfy, he turns on the tv and puts his favourite comfort movie on, Mean Girls. A grin creeps across my face as I remember the first time he told me it was his favourite movie, that was a long enjoyable night.

"I love you Reece, I really do, more than anything ever." I say, half awake, but I really want him to know how much I truly do appreciate him.

"I love you too Marjorie, more than the earth itself, I'd do anything for you." he responds back, kissing the top of my head, as I gently drift off to sleep.
