The song of the week is - lean on

"The collar had restrained his winds but not killed them. They uncoiled from behind the shadows, ready to surround her, to lift her up, to carry her away with only Ariel's silk-clad arms wrapped about her to keep her from falling.

Spirare, they whispered to her like an incantation. Breathe us in.

Bertie didn't mean to, but she inhaled, and everything inside her was a spring morning, a rose opening its petals to the sun, the light coming through the wavering glass of an old, diamond-paned window.

Tendrils of wind reached for Bertie with a coaxing hand. Release him, and he will love you."

Hazel's POV


I woke up to the sound of sobs. I can't sleep well in places like this, it's so uncomfortable. I turned around towards the side where Caleb was sleeping, I saw him sitting to one of the edge of the bed burying his face under his hands. I felt something different for him at this point. I got up from the bed and sat on the floor opposite to his face. I brought my knees closer to my face "Caleb, I dom't know what went wrong right now, it's tough to see a man crying, there's nothing wrong in crying, it's just that your leaving your little care for what ever goes wrong with every tear." He looked up with his teary eyes, I felt worst, causw I was helpless. I got up and sat beside him on the bed, "You can share." Thats all I said and Caleb hugged me tight and cried more. I was shocked but for the first time, I loved the hug, you can call me selfish but I felt different. He was shirtless and oh my god, his warmth was so homely, I was lost in his touch, my muscles down the stomach were clenching.

"Hazel?" He called my name, it felt heaven to my ears "hmmm?" I mumbled, "Don't ever leave me, I can't afford losing you."

No man ever told me this, I felt loved for the first time. I had tears flooded in my eyes, I had no words. Caleb pulled me out of his arms and touched my cheeks and brought closer to his face. I was lost in his eyes with tears rolling down my cheeks, lust was covered by love and then I felt the touch of his lips on my forehead. By now I had tears rolling down my cheeks, I thought I never deserved love but right now, he made me feel it. He looked straight into my eyes, tears gone and smashed his lips to mine.

Caleb's POV

I saw tears in my eyes, all I wanted was her to know what I felt, no words could explain them instead I crushed my lips to her's. I licked her lips and waited for her reply and soon she parted her lips, we kissed and kissed for long, I felt a bit salty taste of her tears that rolled to her lips. She was perfect I never wanted to part my lips, at first I kissed her hungrily and then it turned out to be smooth one. I didn't wanted to part my lips from her's but then I maintained a close distance locked my gaze to hers, "Hazel, will you be my girlfriend?? You will be the first one that have affected me so much in lesser time. You can take your time. I'll be waiting." She was silent and I was scared, scared as hell. "Caleb, I have mever kissed a guy before, if I say yes you will be my first boyfriend too and I don't know what if you change by tomorrow morning, or what if you say you got distracted or any other thing." She again had tears pouring out of her eyes. "I feel for you, I like you ofcourse, you hav helped me out of this weird situation and it means alot but I don't match your status Caleb. Your a rich big man and you just hired me as your personal assistant out of no where. This kiss means a lot to me and I, oh god, everything is weird. Caleb, let's know each other first." I had a smile on my face, she had feelings for me. Damn she is so cute, "Hazel, I love you and I will wait for the day you fall for me." I took her hand and promised her, "I won't ever leave you in any condition." I seriously can't live without her, and with that promised I crashed my lips to hers again and this time she kissed me with more of her feelings the way she wrapped her hands, my hold became firm and I pulled her more closer, she was a bit hesitant at first by her touch but then the kiss went intense, she moaned and that made me want her more, but I knew this would be too early to do anything more. In between our kiss I made her lie on the same side of the bed as of mine without breaking our kiss. I so loved her touch, I didn't know how morning would be like. I want us to remain the same. I parted my lips, kissed her forehead and her eyes. "I love you Hazel." With this we both slept, hugging each other, she made this moment my best memorable night. I smiled at her saw her felling asleep and kissed her again on her forehead, I could see her getting more comfortable in her sleep, she placed her hand on my chest, I smiled again. I placed a blanket over her, and slept inhaling her so addictive smell.

The next morning I woke up to find her still closer to me, I kissed her on her forehead, she opened her eyes and blushed the shade of deep red. "Good morning honeybun." I told her she now blushed more and she looked cute. "Good morning, Cal." Waking up next to her, Oh my god my life can't be this real! She got up to grab her purse and handed me a toothpaste, I had to share her brush, funny, aint it??

She is so caring, I love her. We went down for the breakfast, now our remaing journey is of twelve more hours plus lunch, thirteen hours then.

I got a call from Taylor and now I have to rush home, mom met with an accident. I can't lose her.

I searched in the GPS for the nearest airport.
