Someone Like Me

Chapter Thirty-Two: And This Is Why I Try To Stay Out Of Trouble...

I was suddenly taken in his arms after my door had slammed shut. His pressed my face against his chest and held me tight against him trying to calm me down. His hand rubbed my back slowly as he started to hum softly into my ear.

"Angel, I'm right here. Everything's alright," His voice was so soft and sweet. "I got you, it's alright."

"Dalton," I struggled to say his name clearly.

"Relax," His voice was barely a whisper as he took me into his arms. "Charlie will be here soon, I was afraid of this. Nothing is going to happen, I'll take care of this. Alright, nothing is going to happen to you."

His soothing words were helpful because I could feel my nerves relax and the tears slowed down to where they stopped after several minutes.

"Take deep breaths, in and out. Think of us cuddling in my bed. Think of relaxation and comfort. Just imagine yourself slowly falling asleep in complete comfort. Think of my warmth and the smell of my cologne that you love so much."

It was helping.

"There you go Angel," I leaned into his chest and he tighten his grip around me. "Just keep thing of what I just told you. Let them fill your mind and body. Just let everything take every thought of your mind and keep focus of that. Focus on my gentle voice and what I've told you."

I jerked my head up and down so that he knew that I was listening to him and his words.

"I will never leave you Angel. I'm yours forever and you will forever be mine. No one will ever become between us. I love you too much to ever let someone so close to me be taken away from me. I will find any and every way to be with my Angel. I will do everything in my willpower to be with you. I love you Cherry and I always will."

"I love you too," I choked out hoarsely.

I felt his lips on my forehead, they lingered for a moment before disappearing.

"Forever and always my Angel, my love, my everything," He spoke barely a whisper in my ear as my eyes closed and I slumped against his chest. I could feel sleep coming to me but didn't want to fall back asleep. So I forced myself to open my eyes to stop from sleeping. Dalton wrapped me up in his arms and I felt myself being picked up and then placed on top of my bed.

"Why?" I mumbled softly to him as he sat on the edge of my bed. He reached over to move the stray hairs away from my face and I curled in into a comfortable position.

"Because, you've permanently etched a spot in my heart. You've stolen it and called it your own. I will always want to be with you Cherry. You're important to me in my life. I find you to be the most beautiful, sweetest, caring, loving, helpful, honest, respectful, and polite girl I have ever met and I don't want to ever let someone, like you, to be taken away from me." He smiled proudly, "I love you."

"I love you too," I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
