You're mine

Chapter 18: Good night

Talia's POV

Here I was driving back home... Alone...

I sighed while I watched the road. I just don't understand why she can't stay the night with me... I really really want her next to me. Isn't that what every girl wants? To sleep next to her girlfriend?

Was she afraid maybe? But why would she be afraid? I'm not going to hurt her or anything like that. I'm her girlfriend, she should know that by now...

Maybe she thought I wanted more than sleeping... Which, and I'm not going to lie, I actually do want. I'd love to make love to her. I'd love to caress her body with my hands. I'd love to shower her body in kisses. I'd love to mark her body as mine...

But I know she wants to take it easy and slow, and I respect that. But I don't know why she can't just stay and sleep with me, just sleeping.

I got back home and walked to my room. I didn't even bother to get undressed. I just went to lay into my bed and looked at the empty spot next to me. I felt it. This is where she belongs, next to me. Why can't she do that? Why can't she even try that?

I sighed deep and turned off the lights. Hopefully she'll tell me fast...

_____________________________

A week had passed and nothing had changed.

Leah would stay the whole day here, at my house. And at night, she'd sleep at her house... Every evening I'd ask her to stay the night at my house, but she didn't want that. And every time I felt more and more upset. I felt...rejected...

Today it was Sunday. Leah was here again. She came around 11 am. I was watching tv, and she joined me on the couch. We'd spend the whole day, watching tv, playing video games.

Around 10 pm, the hour she usually left. She got up. I, on reflex, got up as well and took my car keys. I walked to the door but was stopped.

I turned around and saw her smiling at me. She intertwined our fingers and smiled. "I love you, baby."

I smiled. "I love you too, baby."

She leaned in and kissed me, that was the best ever. She pulled me closer to which I pulled her closer and walked us towards the couch.

We both fell on it, but our lips stayed attached to each other. We were making out and it was amazing!

After awhile, Leah pulled back and smiled at me. "That was amazing."

I smiled as well. "Yeah, it was." I said and kissed her again. It's now that I realized I was on top of her in the couch... This was the first time ever...

As if Leah caught on immediately she looked at the couch and afterwards at me, she bit her lip. "Baby, can you get of please?"

I looked at her, now was the time to ask her. I took a deep breath. "Baby, I don't like it that you're always going back to your house at night. I'd love to keep you in my arms while we both sleep. And it really upsets me that you don't even want to lay in my arms when we're here in my couch."

She sighed but nodded. "I'm sorry, baby. I know it must hurt you. But I'm just not ready for that yet."

I looked at her. " Baby, I don't mean that we have to have sex." I said to which she became red. "I just want to sleep, nothing more." I said as I kissed her lips soft. "Nothing more." I whispered close to her lips.

She didn't respond.

I pulled back a little to have a better look at her. "Baby?"

"Huh?"

"What do you think?"

She looked me in the eyes. "I don't know, baby. I'm nervous."

I smiled a little. "You don't have to be nervous." I said soft as I rubbed her nose with mine. "You just have to sleep in my arms."

She nodded slowly and I smiled even more. "Alright."

"Really?"

She nodded. "But just sleeping, right?"

I nodded. "Of course." I said and smiled. I kissed her deeply. Her hands caressed my face while my hands held her waist, pulling her closer to me. I pulled back a little. "Let's get to bed."

She nodded slowly. I could see she was still nervous, but I was going to prove her that she didn't need to be afraid.

We walked upstairs to my room. I let her in first and saw her looking around.

I sat down onto my bed and looked at her, smiling.

She slowly walked to me and sat down next to me.

"See, this isn't bad, right?" I asked her, pulling her closer.

She smiled and shook her head no.

I pulled her down with me. "I knew you'd like it." I said as I kissed her everywhere: her neck, her lips, her ear, her forehead... Everywhere I could reach.

Leah was giggling and pulled me closer to her.

I stopped and looked at her, I was smiling like crazy. I love this girl so much, I can't believe how much I've fallen for her. "I love you, baby."

She smiled and seemed to get lost in my eyes as well. "I love you too, T."

I smiled and pulled her closer, she layed her head onto my chest, sighing deep. I think she really liked this.

"This is nice." she said soft.

I nodded. "Yeah, it really is." I said and pulled her even closer. I kissed her head and pulled her even closer, wanting to feel her close to me. "Good night, baby. I love you."

"Good night, T. I love you too." And that was our first night together.
