Hearing his Heart Beat

▲19△

I fell in love with someone who I would have died for. And that's like a real drug, isn't it? - Amy Winehouse
------------------------------------------------------
I knock on James' door with tears streaming down my face. He opens the door and instantly wraps me in his arms when he sees me.

"What's wrong beautiful?" He signs

"I was really over whelmed with school work so I went to the mall. I saw David and  Tawni and I tried to just walk past, but he stopped me and tried to really terribly mouth something to me and him and Tawni started mocking me and faking sign and I kept trying to walk away, but he had me by my wrist and he wouldn't let me go. And then I tried to twist my wrist out of his hand and he pushed me on the ground." I say sobbing

"I'm gonna kill him." James says obviously not meaning for me to read his lips

He pulls me into his house and out of the spring rain. He pulls me close and kisses me.

'I think that David kid is the stupidest guy ever, because he had the most valuable thing on this earth and misused it. I'd probably die without you, I don't know how he sleeps at night.' James mouths to me before kissing me again, but this time it's more passionate

He carries me up to his room.

He lays me on his bed and pulls me close.

"I love you Shanna and you're the best thing that will ever happen to me." James mouths as he pulls me closer.

I may not be able to hear a sound, but that makes all of my other senses on fire.

So much as so that all I can feel are his lips. I'm not sure when my clothes came off, but I could care less.

I'm suddenly grateful that he lives alone cause even I know that I'm loud.

Not being able to hear him is fine by me  because getting to look at him in all his glory is such a blessing.

I can feel the intensity rise and I know that I'm getting close.

My nails end up on his back and even though I can't hear a thing I can tell that he's not far behind me at all.

I can feel his chest rise up and done as he lays down on top of me, breathing onto my neck.

"You are so perfect to me Shanna." He breathes out... and I hear him.

"Oh my gosh James!" I say loudly just because I can finally hear my voice which has changed so much due to my deafness.

"Yes." He signs
"I can't believe this." I say smiling and he gives me a confused look
"Say something." I tell him
"You're so beautiful." He says
"I can hear you!" I say
James gets up and turns music on his water speakers and I get up and sing and dance along and he smiles.
"Wow that actually makes a ton of sense. The euphoria must have mixed with how your brain interprets pain, essentially how you lost your hearing." He says speaking of the way in which I acquired my hearing

"I don't want to tell anyone." I explain to him and he gives me a confused look
"Why?"
"Well at least not for a while, I wanna see how people actually treat me and what they say when I'm not looking." I explain and he nods
"Are you sure Shanna? They're just idiots." He states and I nod
"Just for a week or so. Not too long. Also it'll give us some time to come up with a better excuse for how I got it back." I say smirking and he laughs and nods in agreement.
