CHAPTER 37 - The Most Beautiful

AARON

Lea's soft breath was fanning against my neck, the sun was shining in through the window leaving beams across her bare legs.

I'd been awake for a while but didn't mind laying next to her listening to her steady breathing.

How had I fallen for her so fast?

That was a question I'd asked myself for the last months and still couldn't find the answer.

Lea moved the slightest in my arms, her eyelids slowly fluttered open. A small smile tugged at the end of her lips as she looked me in the eye.

"Good Morning Beautiful," my voice was husky as I spoke and her cheeks immediately heated.

"Morning..." she said in a faint whisper. "How long have you been awake?"

"For a while." I shrugged softly and put a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Did I snore?" Her lips tugged into a grin and I chuckled while shaking my head.

"You never do,"

"Good." Lea mumbled. She intertwined our legs and pressed a kiss to my chest, my heart skipped a beat I ran my hand through her short hair before running it down to her cheek.

"What would you say if I asked you to go to brunch with me today?" I asked.

"I would definitely say yes, if, the brunch doesn't include scrambled eggs." She scrunched her cute little nose. "I hate scrambled eggs."

I kissed her forehead before I got up. "No scrambled eggs, I promise." The room lit up with her smile and I chuckled. She wrapped the covers around her body before she went to the mirror across the room and sat down on the floor. Her small hands grabbed a couple of brushes I didn't know the name of before she started doing her make up.

"You should leave some stuff here," I said softly, not entirely sure how she would react.

"I should?" She rose an eyebrow and locked eye with me through the mirror, I nodded.

"Then why are you furrowing your brows?" Worry shone through her voice, I chuckled softly and ruffled her hair before grabbing my black tee shirt  from the chair and waking to the closet.

"Because I was worried you would protest," because the way I feel for you scares me.

"Oh." Lea sent me a quick smile before she went back to doing her makeup, she knew that I hadn't told her the truth and it bothered me that she could see through me that easily.

She'd grown to know me better than anyone else and I would've lied if I said that it didn't scare me, because it did. She knew the small things about me that no one had cared about before; she knew that I used sugar in my tea and that navy blue was my favorite color, she knew that I preferred books over movies and that my favorite band was All Time Low.

Had Cindy known these things?

It wasn't the right time to think about my ex-girlfriend that had shed my heart into pieces, but she crossed my mind every now and then. I didn't miss her and my feelings for her cooled more for everyday that passed. It wasn't like that. Still I couldn't just forget a person I'd once loved so dearly.

But had I really loved her?

Cindy had only brought misery and pain to my life while Lea had given me so much more. But can I be sure that Lea won't hurt me the way Cindy did? Until the moment Cindy had broken my heart I'd been so sure that we would stay together for a long time, what if Lea would break my heart too?
