Eternal love

Chapter 8

  She was worried. He called her every day, for past two weeks and she hadn't heard from him, for at least four days. She was walking down the street, heading home, when she felt a pair of strong hands, cover her eyes. She screamed and quickly turned around, facing the assaulter. And there he was, eyes shining brightly, hair tangled by the wind, clothes creased from the long journey and a big, goofy grin on his unshaven face.

-Bob!- she exclaimed and practically jumped on him, nearly causing him to fall.

-Baby! I've missed you so much- he smiled, holding her close to himself.

She looked up and closed the gap between them. They kissed intensely under the cold, morning Sun. People were passing them by, some looking at them disapprovingly, some whistling and cheering. One man said ''Get a room!" and another one ''Love is in the air. Keep it up!". However, the couple haven't heard a thing. They had their eyes, ears, hands and lips, only for each other. The world could've ended right there and then and they wouldn't even notice.

   She pulled away, gasping for air and smiling like mad.

-Why didn't you call me, that you were coming back?- she asked, clinging to his chest.

-I wanted to surprise you- he answered, kissing her head and tightening his grip on her.

-I was dead worried!- she exclaimed, looking up at him and frowning.

-I'm sorry, Sunshine- he pecked her cheek. -Let's go inside, it's cold.

   They entered her flat and took off their coats and boots. She made them some tea and they both settled on the couch.

-When did you come back?- she asked, laying her head on his chest and carresing his rough jaw and cheeks.

-Just an hour ago- he responded, holding her tight and kissing her fingers, that made their way to his lips. -I just left my stuff at my place and headed directly here. I couldn't wait to see you, darlin'.

She smiled sweetly and kissed his neck. He grunted, quietly and wrapped his arms tighter, around her waist.

-You're sending mixed signals, babe- he breathed.

-Why is that?- she asked, caressing his chest and kissing his jaw.

He laughed softly and moaned, when she sucked on his neck.

-You said, that you don't want it like that- he panted.

-Like what?- she asked, in an innocent tone, sliding onto his lap and facing him, keeping her lips attached to his jaw.

-Babe...- he moaned and brought her closer to himself. -I thought, you didn't want to go to bed with me... Just yet.

-I'm sorry, Bobby. I can't help myself. I've missed you so much- she purred, tracing his chest with her palms and kissing his lips.

-Honey!- Bob took her hands in his and delicately pushed her away.

He saw hurt in her eyes.

-Sunshine...- he spoke softly, cupping her cheek.

She looked away and he lifted her chin with his finger.

-You know, that I want you, so much- he started -but I don't want this to happen right now.

-Why not?

-Because I respect you and I want you to feel, that you can trust me.

This surpeised her. She never thought, why he didn't complain, when she first told him, she didn't want to have sex, in the first place.
