-God I wish I never spoke, now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap.

You saved me in the best way.

Summer Lowal

I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as my mouth sputtered the words out before I could actually comprehend what was going on. I had to move away slightly from him as I watched his expression go from soft to in-shock; my hands trembling and soft and short breaths leaving past my lips. I got up from the bed and turned away from him, crossing my arms over my chest; furrowing my eyebrows as I stared at the decorated curtain.

"Summer, love," I heard him rasp softly. I only shrugged my shoulders; sighing in utter disbelief at myself. I don't know what came over myself. Maybe it was because he was pouring his heart out and I felt the need to say it back to him. I wanted to in fact. It was just.. there.

"I-I honestly didn't know how I let it come out like that," I felt a pair of hands on my hips, turning me swiftly around. My eyes met with soft green orbs, staring tenderly back at me with absorbent love.

I bit the inside of my cheek and let my eyes flicker between the both of his. He only smiled gently, his lips curving and dimples defining prominently. "Baby, it's okay, it's more than okay, you didn't commit a crime," he licked his lips and pulled me in between his legs. I let my arms unfold and dropped my hands onto his neck, letting my fingers drawl through his soft chestnut hair; him sighing in comply.

"I'm scared, fuck am I scared, out of everyone you know that," he nods and flutters his eyes closed. Taking one of my hands, and lacing our fingers together, bringing the top of my hand over his lips kissing softly, reopening his eyes.

"I know you're scared, Mare. It's going to be that way forever. Love... it's indescribable. It, altogether is something you cannot fathom, but also, it's something you cannot live without," I only straddle his lap and mold my body with his, our arms tangling together, and my face in the crook of his neck.

"Harry, I lived without it.. until you came," I murmur quietly, tightening my grip around his torso. He only kisses the side of my temple.

"How did that work out for you, beautiful?" He questions me in a gentle tone. I shut my eyes.

"I was obstinate with everyone and everything - but it helped me,"

"Helped you with what?" He asks while threading his fingers through my hair, coming it softly. I sigh in relief.

"It.. helped me keep away the bad people," I answer truthfully, biting my lip.

"Am I one of them?" He asks; merely a whisper, taunting my heart terribly. It clenches behind its cage. I instantly shake my head, pulling away to look him in the eyes, my hand resting on his jaw; my lips coming in contact with his lips tenderly, and slowly. He lets out a breath, staggering a fragment.

"You aren't if you don't hurt me the way they do," I mumble against his plush lips. He only shakes his head, clenching his jaw together.

"I wouldn't dare," he bellows quietly, a crease in between his eyebrows. I only nod and look down at my lap, taking our hands together. His finger tilts my chin up slightly, the warmth between us lingering agonizingly. I shudder.

His eyes are intensive; they hold the biggest storm in them, and I'm suddenly sucked in it all. I was stuck in the largest storm to ever be created by mankind.

"Summer Lowal, I'm inexplicably in love with you. My heart is forever yours, and my soul has completely molded with yours, and I never wish to have them back the same, they are yours to keep and cherish, because I trust you with my being, and-and I hope you do, as well."
