Hanging By A Moment (Sequel to Funhouse)

Chapter 40

“Babe, what are you doing?” I yawned out.

I lifted my head up from the pillow and squinted my eyes looking at Kimberley, She was stood by the hotel room window with the curtains open looking out at the view. Normally it wouldn’t be a unusual site but it was still really early, The sun hadn’t come up yet. She was dressed in her night clothes still, a tiny vest top and shorts. 

“Sorry, Did I wake you” She turned her head to address me before looking back out of the window again she looked deep in thought

“No” I told her “What’s up?”

“Nothing, I’ve just been looking at the view and thinking, Its snowed in the night, It looks really pretty out there” 

I climbed out of bed taking the quilt with me, I wrapped it around my shoulders and stood behind Kimberley wrapping my arms and the cover around her.

She leaned her body back into me and I placed my chin on her shoulder. She wasn’t lying about the view, Heavy snow had fallen in the night covering the Tyne. It looked very picturesque.

“What’s on your mind?” I asked her as I ran my hands up and down her arms, her skin was freezing to touch.

“I was just thinking about the last time I was in Newcastle” She whispered

“Oh . ..” I didn’t like it when she reflected on the past

“Its nothing bad babe, I remember standing on that bridge over there” She lifts her hand and point to the millennium bridge in the distance “I’d just seen Max and he’d told me where to look for you, and I just remember feeling so happy. So happy that I was going to find you”

“I’m sorry” I cut in

“Let me finish” She catches my hand in hers and threads our fingers together before she starts talking again “I remember thinking about how much I loved you, and how I’d never be able to love anybody or anything nearly as much. You where my world, I never thought it was possible to love someone that much, You know?”

“Yeah” I ran my thumb over the back of her hand as she continued

“But then a little miracle happened and you came back to me and every day, every time you smile at me, I fall in love with you a little bit more, and I don’t think that will ever stop, I didn’t think it was possible to love someone this much”

There was a lump in my throat as she spoke, I’d never felt so cared about in my life and it was an amazing feeling to have the girl of your dreams speak about you with so much passion.

I didn’t know how to responded with words, a simple ‘I love you’ wouldn’t cut it with the emotion I was feeling right now.

I took my chin off her shoulder and kissed the soft skin I’d been previously covering, I moved her hair to one side letting it fall on one side of her neck. Slowly and gently I sucked the exposed skin on her neck in to my mouth. She shivered at my touch.

I ran my hands across her toned stomach, as I did this the duvet cover fell from our bodies to the floor. I moved my hands up under her vest top feeling her breast. She let out a moan as my cold hands touched her, I caressed her breast with my fingers running my thumb over her stiff nipples for some time as I continued to kiss my way across her neck and shoulders.

I lowered my hands down from Kimberley’s top and traced my way up her arm until I reached her face, Once I had I tilted her head towards me and craned my neck to her and met her lips, Kissing her as hard and as passionately as I could from the awkward angle.

When the kiss ended I placed a soft lingering kiss on her lips before I reached forward and closed the curtains that where open in front of us.

Once they where closed I took Kimberley’s hand and turned her so she was facing me, She looked gorgeous. Her hair was all messy & ruffled just the way I liked it. She was smiling at me and I could tell she was anticipating my next move.
