FREEN POV

"And they lived happily ever after" I end riley's story and she smiles faintly whilst her eyes drop off to sleep.

Becky's holding her hand and rubbing her thumb on it and my heart melts in awe as I look at her. I wish I could have my happy ever after but it turns out I haven't and maybe never will but for now, Becky, riley and I together is the most content I could be in such a long time, this might have been a single day but god knows how much it meant to me today for Becky to come here.

The fact that she spent a whole day when she told me she was going to only be an hour but couldn't leave us makes me just want to pull her into my arms and not let her go at all. Yet I can't I need to know my limits and it's been hard restraining myself.

Once we both quietly smile at eachother when we notice riley is asleep, she must be exhausted after today, we danced, ate lots of cake, gave her a bath and read 3 different
stories for her and then I read one of my head and we finally got her to sleep.

Once we left riley's room, Becky walks to her shoes and it hurts me knowing it's so late right now and she has to leave.

"Go to work from here" I say to her

She chuckles at my response

"We aren't doing this Freen" she smiles at me so beautifully but god damn I really don't want her to leave, I can feel my heart breaking into pieces. Why do I feel so sad all of a sudden? I knew this amazing day would have to come to an end but god damn it hurts.

"I no no no I meant as in I'll sleep on the couch and you can sleep on my bed or even with riley if you don't trust me because it's cold outside and it's just late you shouldn't be out this late" I rub the back of my neck nervously, I just spoke gibberish kind of but I really hated seeing her put on her shoes to leave.

"I can handle it, I'm a big girl" she smiles at me as she walks towards me, I felt as if she was coming to kiss me but she walked past me to collect her phone from the couch.

"Thanks for today sarocha" she walks past me again but this time my hand wraps around her arm and I pull her into me as I then wrap my hands around her waist, her back is pressed to my chest and the urge to just kiss her drives me insane.

"Freen what did we talk about, your making it harder for the both of us" Becky whispers as her head tips up, her eyes clench shut as my face hides into her neck.

"I know just let me stay here for 2 minutes" I whisper back as I snuggle into her neck closer, she freezes as her breathing gets heavier.

She leaves my grip and turns as she wraps her arms tightly around me, I sigh heavily as I realise we actually have to end our day and she has to go home when she should be staying with me. She belongs here, today was evidence she belongs here.

When I feel her heart beat against mine it makes me realise she feels the same way as me, she doesn't want to leave my arms as I don't want to leave hers.

"FaceTime me as you get to your car, I would of walked you to the car but I can't leave riley alone in the house" I sigh as I lean my chin on the top of her head

"Hey I told you I'm a big girl, I can handle it" she breaks the hug and warningly points her fingers at me

"I know you are but I need to see you get home safely for my own state of mind" I smile at her and she rolls her eyes

"For your own state of mind understand I can beat ass, shall I show you?" She winks at me

I hold my hands up in surrender and she giggles, so beautifully, I hate that she has to leave.
