Skye's POV

 'Skye, why are you doing all of this?'

'Because i wan't to make it up to you..'

'Skye you don't owe me anyth-'

I cut him off.

'And because i wan't you to like me again'

'Skye i never stopped lik-'

Truth time.

'And because I want to fall completely in love with you'

His eyes grew wide. I realised my former self would never have admitted to that. Who am i kidding. I'm still the same messed up fuck.

 'S-Skye are you... Is that a joke?'

'Did it sound like a joke?'

'It's just... you never-

'What because I'm fucking crazy I can't love someone?'

'No, no that's honestly not- Skye listen I-'

'Save your bullshit for someone who cares'

I turned and stormed away. I so didn't need this. I can't believe I convinced myself to do something so reckless.

'Skye! Why do you always have to get so angry, you're so compulsive! You didn't even let me finish!'

'There's nothing to say Adam, spare me the melodrama'

'Skye you didn't even give me five seconds to take it in! Please... J-just come back here and talk to me'

I stormed upstairs.

'Can you please look at me? Can you do that at least?'

I stopped at the top of the stairs, tears streaming down my face, but with a gritted teeth and a grimace  I looked at him.

'Skye'

He approached me slowly, I stood my ground.

'Skye. You're reckless. You're a total mess, and I'd be lying if i said I thought you were fixable. You're overly compulsive, and I lie awake most nights scared to death that you'll run out on me again. Your mood swings get me down, and you confuse the hell out of me...'

More tears poured down my face.

'Are you deliberately trying to hurt me Adam? Revenge? Is that what you want? I already know all of this shit Adam, and i'm trying to make it all up to you but you just don't want me, ADMIT IT.'

'I can't admit to something that isn't true Skye and I'm still not done will you just-'

I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut.

'But, despite all of these th-'

'FUCK OFF ADAM, GOD DAMMIT CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME BE'

He recomposed himself and started again. Christ he just cannot take a hint.

'But. With all of these things, that make me hesitant, and a little afraid of getting my heart absolutely torn to pieces, you're also smart, beautiful, brave, impulsive, honest, spontaneous, you make me laugh, you make me feel like i'm really living, when i'm with you I thank god, when we've had a good day today i find myself singing a lot, and smiling involuntarily, and since you came i haven't spent one night lying awake crying about spending the rest of my miserable life alone because I'm too awkward to love. You're good for me. You saved me. And I love you.'

30 seconds of silence followed.

I slowly got up, opened the door, and looked at him straight in the eyes.

'My god you better not be lying'

I grabbed his shirt and pulled him into my room, our lips immediately crashing into one another. He flung his arms around me and pressed his body tightly against my own. He kissed me, hard. Our lips pressed firmly against one anothers, he opened his mouth and we just both lost it, my hands grabbing his hair, his grabbing my backside. It felt. So. Good. He pushed me down onto the bed and started running his lips down my neck. We were both breathing heavily after the ravenous nature of the kiss. I whispered into his ear.

'I want you'

This had the desired effect and he moved back up to my lips, running his tongue along my bottom lip and slowly closing his lips back around mine, he started to shakily lift my shirt off, the shaking got significantly worse and I stopped him.

'Adam, what's wrong, you're shaking like crazy'

'I'm just a little nervous' He panted

'God Adam you're more than a little nervous, you're acting like it's your first time or something' I laughed

He looked a little hurt and backed away from me.

'Oh god...' I whispered 'It is'

He looked back up at me with those big brown eyes.

'I'm so sorry Adam, I didn't know...'

'I didn't tell you, it's not your fault'

'We don't have to do this you know...'

He bit his lip.

 'I mean, do you really want this?'

He nodded slowly, and smiled.

I scooted towards him and took his head in my hands, I slowly approached his face and laid a soft kiss on his lips.

I brushed my cheek against and slowly planted tiny kisses down the crook of his neck. He took a sharp inward breath, and let out a moan.

I lifted his shirt off over his head. He proceeded to slowly slip mine off and toss it onto the floor. I undid my pants and he slowly ran his hands up the sides of my legs, grabbed the waistline, and gradually pulled them down.

He quickly undid his and flung them on the floor next to mine.

We were sitting looking right at each other, in just our underwear.

'You're beautiful' he whispered

'You are too' I replied

He laughed a little and blushed.

'Believe it' I whispered and pressed my lips against his, guiding him to position himself over me as I lay backwards.

It was the slowest and gentlest and most intimate thing I've ever experienced. He treated me like porcelain, like I would break if he made any sudden movements. His hot bare skin pressed  against mine felt so good. We looked right at each other and our lips met. We were both so satisfied... so content. It's how every girl dreams her first time should be. How mine should've been. I wish he had found me sooner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes fluttered open the next morning to see a shirtless Adam, fast asleep, his body still protectively wrapped around mine. I watched the slow rise and fall of his chest and the little twitching movements the corners of his mouth made while he slept. He was adorable. I lay there a while before getting a little fidgety and bored, so I carefully slipped out of his arms and threw on underwear and one of his shirts. I'd seen it in a movie once, it seemed appropriate.

I tiptoed downstairs and made some steaming hot coffee, after I'd finished I took a long shower and got dressed into a pair of ripped up light wash skinny jeans and a plain white tee. Adam still wasn't awake. I popped Cloudy with a chance of meatballs into the DVD player and watched the whole thing. It was now 1pm. I popped in another film (Tangled this time) and got about half way through before Adam came trudging down the stairs, rubbing his eyes, his hair all messy. I really did love him.

'Boy I must have tired you out big time' I laughed and winked at him

He collapsed onto the sofa, right next to me and pulled me into him. I laid my head against his chest and he started gently tracing my back with one finger before leaning in and laying his lips softly against mine.

'That's the best night's sleep I've had in years'

He stroked my hair and I reached up and kissed him on the nose. We both nuzzled closer to each other and watched Tangled, breathing softly in time.
