He smiled as I kissed him. I slowly pulled back, noticing the brightness in his eyes. We were then doused in comfortable silence. It was nice. Very, very nice. "You don't have to stay here if you don't want to." Danny spoke up soon enough, causing me to look down at him.
"I know." I spoke softly. "But there's really nothing else to do. I'll be bored. So I think I'll just stay here... With you. If you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all. I like being near you. But won't it get boring here too?" He asked before a smirk slowly progressed it's way on his face. I sighed knowing he was going to say something. "Unless, you're up for that strip tease."
"You never stop do you?" I asked looking down at him as he grins.
"Sorry Alina, you just make me really horny. It's kind of a problem." He chuckles causing me to roll my eyes. "You honestly have no idea how badly I want you."
"Of course, since that's all guys ever want. Sex." I spoke bitterly causing his expression to turn serious.
"Alina, I'm not going to lie and say I don't want sex. Because I do. But I don't need it. I can live without it. The one thing I can't live without is you. I need you Alina. I'll take you in any way you give yourself to me. I'll take whatever you give. Anything. It doesn't matter what it is." He spoke so sincerely it hurt.
"Danny, I just... I can't." I said looking away. I couldn't look at him. I wished I could give into him. I really did. But I was scared. I was so scared. I was scared of what he was. I already had my whole family ripped away. A whole piece of my heart had been destroyed. I couldn't just expose what was left of my heart so easily like that. I didn't want to ruin what was left of it. I buried my face in my hands as Danny stroked my back.
"Alina, don't be upset. It's okay. I'll wait for you to open up to me. I'll wait as long as you need me to." He said causing me to bury my fingers in my hair. He was always so sweet, so nice to me. He was perfect in every way. And that's what scared me the most. Perfect things didn't last. They never did.
My family, they were perfect. Yes we had our little arguments here and there but we were perfect nonetheless. And then look at what happened. How easily they were taken away from me. I lost Eric too. He was such an amazing friend and I lost him. Everyday I'm scared of losing Thalia too. That's the reason, I never let her do anything dangerous. That is the reason she stayed back while we all came here to kill werewolves. I'd die if I lost her like Eric. Like my entire family.
This is why I can't let Danny in. I don't need another person that can be taken away from me any second. I don't want to care for someone else. I don't want to care about him. The moment I let him in, he could backstab me and leave. He could leave with the very last piece of my heart. Then I'll have nothing. Nothing at all.
"Alina, are you okay?" He asked softly, so much concern showing through his voice. I whimpered in response, trying really hard not to cry.
I heard him groan in pain as I felt him sit up into a seated position again. I then felt his arms grab me and pull me in close. He made me rest my head on his shoulder as his arms wound tightly around my body. I let my tears loose and a few minutes later I was full on sobbing.
Danny sat silently, letting me cry as he stroked my hair. After a few more minutes of me crying, he leaned his head down and placed many sweet kisses over my face. He kissed away every single tear that fell from my eyes.
