Glassheart but realistic

Part 18 - So This is Love

Red pov:

I woke up with weight on my chest. I'm half asleep, and I don't even know where I am. I open my eyes, and I see chloe right on top of me. We're back in our room? What happened last night? I remember the picnic and the su set, but that's it. Did I fall asleep and bring me here? Aw, that's sweet. That's still a long way to carry me for.  I hope I wasn't too heavy for her. I finally noticed my hand placements. One hand was on her back between her shoulder blades, and the other one was holding the back of her head. Wow, I can't believe I'm holding her like this.... yet it's feels so natural and comfortable. I don't wanna move. I slowly start to rub the back of her head with my hand. My palm open, going from the neck to the crown and back, cupping her head. After a few moments later, I noticed her making a cute small noise. Is she waking up? She then wraps her arms around me and hugs her tighter while also pulling herself upwards to where her face was now was less than an inch from the side of my neck. I'm still holding the back of her head, almost pushing her more into my neck. She made another small noise. I decided to stay still while rubbing her head again. Running my fingers through her hair felt so nice.

Chloe pov:

I'm half asleep, I can feel our body placement, Red's hand placements. I can feel my head right next to hers. I can feel light pressure where Red's hands are. She's rubbing the back of my head and neck. It feels so amazing. She's so gentle with her fingertips. She's applying the perfect pressure. Rubbing my neck all the way up to almost the top of my head. Her hand and fingers are just gliding up and down so softly. If this is what heaven is like, I don't ever want to wake up. I know she's only doing this right now because she thinks I'm asleep, but I don't want her to stop. I can pretend to still be asleep for a while longer. I tried to open my eyes just a little to take a peek. I got caught as Red is looking right at me. Was she just watching me for the past 5 minutes? I couldn't help but smile.

Red: You were awake?

Chloe: Maybe.....

I say in a slightly flirty tone. I lean more against her, hugging her tighter.

Chloe: Please don't stop. It feels so nice.

Red: You want me to keep rubbing your head?

I nodded. Closing my eyes. She hesitated for a second but soon continued. Her soft touch makes me melt.

Chloe: I live this intimate moment we're having.

Red: This is intimacy?

Chloe: Yes, Red, this is.... how do you feel about it?

I can see her trying to feel and think for a bit.

Red: I like it, it feels very nice.... very natural, too... your hair is very soft, Chloe.

Chloe: I know.

I  giggled. Even if we didn't talk much, just her presence made me happy. We had our first date yesterday. We didn't do much, but I was happy to be able to do anything with her.

Red: Hey Chloe?

Chloe: Hmm?

Red: Did you carry me all the way back here last night?

Chloe: Yeah, I did. You were very light. You honestly looked so comfortable hugging the blanket. I didn't want to wake you. You plan this amazing little picnic. The least I could do is bring you home safely.

Red: Thank you. Sorry if it was a long walk, Leah got the idea for the spot.

Chloe: Don't apologize, Red. I wanted to. And I truly loved our date. Maybe next time, We can do something else.
