Getting You Back

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Don't Let Me Go (Harry's POV)

   Right as she steps out of the shower, Halle's skin breaks out into goose flesh and she shivers as the cold air hits her skin. Right when she stands up straight, she is right in front of the mirror. With her reflection staring back at her, she cringes at her reflection. Halle turns her back to the mirror then drops her towel with a scowl on her face. I know what my baby girl saw when she looked at her reflection. She sees the bruises that pepper her skin and the scratches that have been etched into her skin from her fall. But from where I stand and always in my eyes, she is beautiful. Even though there is scratches and bruises sprinkled across her pale skin, it still looks so soft and so smooth to touch. The blue and black of the bruises don't change anything about her or how I feel about her. Her back still curves into her plump arse, her stomach is still toned and soft, her thighs are soft and supple, these temporary marks don't outshine the beauty that has and will always be there. Everything about her is still perfect in my eyes. She is gorgeous, she is flawless, she is perfect, and she is mine. I step out of the now cold shower and walk over to my girl. With her back to me, she doesn't suspect me coming up from behind. I reach out for her causing Halle to jump in surprise at the sudden touch of my fingers to her back. With the tips of my fingers on her bruised back she jumps away from me and steps out of my reach. My sweet girl lowers her head so her eyes aren't connected with him and she crosses her arms over her chest, trying to hide herself from me. I take a step toward causing her to back up against the door. I reach out and place my hands on her hips. Where she stands, I begin to turn her so that her back is to me and not hidden from my eyes. Bruises mark along her spinal cord in various shades of black and blue. Gently, I begin to trace the line of her spinal cord with my lips. Along the soft path, I pepper small kisses on her skin and whisper my love for her over and over. Her skin is warm and soft against my lips. Instead of pushing me away, like she once did, she melts so that her body is fully connected with my lips. When she looked into that mirror something my Halle saw something that disgusted her, it repelled her. When I look at her, I see a girl who I fell madly in love with . I see a beautiful girl who makes my heart race when she merely looks at me and stops time when she smiles. She doesn't see what I see so now it is my job to make sure she sees the beauty I do and make her feel it. 
"Mmm...Harry." She moans as my tongues caresses against her skin. Her head is thrown back with her eyes closed. Her hands reach back to grip onto my forearms. I trace back up the line of her spine then caress my lips along both of her shoulders. I kiss the soft skin of her shoulder then begin to suck on her skin.
"H-harry..." She whimpers as I bring the blood to the surface of her skin. I suck on her shoulder, nibble on it with my teeth, the soothe the pleasurable sting with my tongue. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her against me. At the feel of my chest at her back, her head lulls back with the pleasure I give her.
"How do you not see it baby?" I whisper against her ear as nibble at her sensitive neck. "You don't know how beautiful you are, even with the bruises and the scratches." I turn her over in my arms then gently pick her up by her arse. She raises her legs to wrap them around my waist. I set her down on the edge of the sink of the tiny bathroom. "I love how soft your skin is, especially when it is against mine. The color of your hair against a white pillow. The color of your eyes as they watch me. The warmth of you breath as you murmur your love when we are beneath the sheets of our bed. The beat of your heart as we make love. The way you say my name when you first wake up..." She stops me mid-sentence by crashing her lips to mine. She tangles her fingers in my curly hair then lightly tugs at the roots causing me to moan against her lips. She pulls away then presses kisses to my jaw and neck. "I love you." She whispers against my skin. I cup her cheeks in my hands and pull her away from my neck so we can look each other in the eye. "I am so in love with you Halleiana Marie Martinez." I press a kiss to her nose then let her slide off the sink edge. When she brushes pass me I stick my hand out and give her bum a pinch then caress. My Halle looks over her shoulder then gives me a wink.
"You need to get dressed mister." She says then wiggles her bum at me. I place my hands on her hips before she could reach her clothes and pull her back into my chest. A smile forms across my girl's face causing one gigantic butterfly to form in my stomach. I lean down so that my lips are near her face. I place kisses on her nose, cheeks, jaw, forehead, and cheeks. A giggle escapes her lips with each kiss I press onto her skin, they echo off the walls and they make me feel at home. She smiles so big that her eyes go squinty and her cheeks to burn red with her giggles.
"You're too cute my darling."
