In secret

Discovering Him

"So, where you from?"
I ask slightly as rolled carefully on the couch so that I faced him.
"Somewhere many people don't ever escape" he said tilting his head away so that it was covered it shadows.
I stared blankly at him, completely confused by his last statement, but I decided to move forward.
"Parents?" I questioned
"Not since we moved, my dad cheated on my mom and she's been, well...out of it since we got here"
"Oh I am sorry, what about siblings?"
"Don't have any, I am out here taking care of myself"
He moved back toward me and I saw the pain in his eyes, the depth that led to so much of his past, but it left quickly replaced by a small smile.
"Babe, what movies do you have?"
He question as he gently squeezed my butt.
I jumped at the sudden touch and he laughed.
"I will go see, what would you want?"
"Have any horror films?"
"I will double check, I think we might"
With that I unwrapped myself from Ian and went to see if we had any horror movies stored in the basement.
I remembered them being in the guest bedroom, where Ian was staying and so I decided to looks there.
---
I returned with three separate movies and Ian seemed to know what every single one was about, he chose the one, that he thought was the scariest.
"You gonna watch with me babe?"
"I-I don't know, horror movies aren't really my thing"
"But please, it's no fun without someone to cuddle with"
"Fine, but don't try and pull anything"
With that I put the movie in as Ian turned out the lights and closed the certain to make sure it was completely dark.
He laid on the couch and beckoned me to come lay with him.
I followed his lead and later facing the TV. He yanked the cover over us and snaked his arm around my waist.
I should have felt out of place, maybe weirded out, but it felt so natural, so right.
The movie was ridiculously scary, I found my self hiding in Ian's chest more than actually watching, I curled up against him, as if to try and push the movie away.
He quietly stroked my hair and kissed my forehead whenever I squealed.
I guess watching made me tired because I woke up after the movie turned off and found myself entangled in Ian.
He was smiling down at me when my eyes fluttered open.
"Hey cutie"
"Mmmmm" I groaned curling back up in a ball trying to go back to sleep.
"Honey you can't go back to sleep, we need to make dinner."
Apparently I had slept through the movie and half the day. I quietly and longingly pushed the blanket off and got up to go see what I could make for dinner.
"I have Mac N' Cheese, you good with that?"
"Of course sweet heart, let me help you"
Ian walked into the kitchen looking roughed up his hair a mess and his clothes wrinkled. His voice was husky, obviously he had been asleep too.
"In fact just let me make the entire thing"
I was to tired to complain and let him get out everything he needed and I watched as he set to work.
I sat on the counter with my legs crossed as I watched him turn on the stove and put a pot of water on it, waiting for it to boil.
"Now baby, you know sitting on the counter isn't polite"
He said as he walked toward me, gently grabbing my thighs and uncrossing them, pulling to where my legs hung over the counter.
"It's not polite at all...."
He whispered roughly into my ear.
I knew where I was headed with this boy and I was already in to deep to turn around.
