Broken but not shattered

Chapter 15

Siobhan's POV

It is now morning, and before I even open my eyes, I can smell food coming from the kitchen and people talking because it got too late. Mia and Charlotte had stayed the night. Then, my attention was brought to the arms wrapped around me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked up from my spot on her chest to see Vivian staring down at me with a loving smile. 

"Good morning, Angel," she said softly, never breaking eye contact. After everything I said to her and put her through, she still looks at me like I am the most beautiful woman she has ever met. I don't know what I did to deserve this woman, but I will do everything in my power to show her how much I love and appreciate her. 

"Good morning, Viv, how did you sleep?" I asked, snuggling closer to her as if I were not already on top of her.

"Amazing now that you are back in my arms where you belong. These last four nights have been unbearable," she answered, bringing her hand up to my face to push a stray piece of hair out of my face before leaning down and kissing my lips softly. Pushing her away was the stupidest thing I ever did, but I will never make that mistake again. This is where I belong, and I know that now.

"I promise you never have to feel that pain again. I'm never leaving you again." I said, laying my head back on her chest, feeling content in her arms.

"And I promise I will be by your side for as long as you will have me. No matter what happens, we will get through it together." she finished when a knock was heard at the door. 

"My loves, we have work today, so we have to leave soon, So we need to get a move on," Marjorie said through the door. 

"Ok, we will be down in a minute, Marjorie," Viv answered back. 

"Ok, better hurry before Charlotte drinks all the coffee," Marjorie said, going back downstairs.

"Ok, Angel, we have to get up," Viv said, brushing her hand through my hair. 

"No," I whined I never wanted to leave her arms. I felt safe here, like nothing could happen if I stayed in her arms.

"Come on, Angel, it's only a few hours, and I'll be there right after work. You will also have everyone at the nursery, so you will be safe," Viv tried to reason.

"But I don't want to leave you. Can't we just stay here forever?" I asked, knowing full well that we had to get up. 

"I know I don't want to leave you either, but I have to go to work, and I would feel better knowing you were in a building full of people, so I know you're safe," Viv said, now looking in my eyes.

"Fine," I whined before climbing off, and I went to the bathroom to get ready. By the time I got back to the room, Viv was also ready. I was about to walk out of the room to head downstairs when I felt a hand on my waist, stopping me and turning me around. 

"Hold on a second, Angel, where do you think you're going?" Viv asked, pulling me closer to her so our bodies were now pressed together.

"Downstairs," I whispered as the heat rose to my face.

"Not before I get a proper goodbye," she said as she put her finger under my chin and pulled me closer. Our lips met. It was different from this morning. This morning was soft and quiet. This was more passionate and deep. It felt as if the world had stopped on its axis, and we were the only thing in the world that mattered at this moment. She pulled away and said softly, "I know how you feel about PDA, so I had to get my goodbye before we went downstairs." I was breathless and at a loss for words as she grabbed my hand and led me down to the kitchen. 

"Finally, took your sweet time, didn't you?" I heard Mia say, but I was still out of it from the kiss. 

"Amelia Roberts," Charlotte said, warning her girlfriend.
