Chapter 25- Better?

I find myself yet again at his doorstep, stood so innocently looking down on my self, with my cheeks still red from the recent sobbing and my eyes still full of tears.

I knock once very timidly and he opens the door quickly and takes me into his arms and we just stand there, with his face nuzzled into my hair by my neck as he slowly moves his thumb round on my back.

I try but I can't hold it in anymore... I try so hard but I let out a large yelp and the tears roll down my face like a waterfall, he realises and holds me tighter and then goes onto pull me inside and closes the door shut with his foot.

He moves onto put one of his hands through my hair and twist it around his fingers slowly with me still in his embrace. He then pulls back still holding me.

"Want to talk about it?" He says softly

I shrug looking at the floor.

"I'll take that as a yes, come on"

He holds out his hand and I take it and we go upstairs.

He sits down on the bed and indicates I sit on the space next to him, so I scuffle over and take my shoes off and sit next to him.

He takes hold of both my hands and clasps them running his thumb on over them. He then moves my hand up to his beautiful lips and places a soft, gentle kiss on my right knuckle then places my hand back on my knees. 

"Are you going to tell me Erika?" He says raising an eyebrow.

"You know just my mum it's fine" I say looking down

"You don't have to pretend with me"

"She scares me" I croak

And with that he saw the terrified look I had in my eyes and the scared little girl voice I had and he takes my waist and lays me down into the bed under the covers and he comes next to me and wraps his arms around me pulling me into him.

We just lay there for a while and cuddle and it feels like I have no troubles in the world, this boy makes me happy all the time and I wouldn't want anything else.

"Better?" He says as his kisses my cheek.

"Better" as i smile to myself.
