The Risks of Falling in Love

Sorry another short one but i was on a roll..lol 
Thank you for everyone who has been reading. You're kind words make me want to keep writing.

Unedited as usual but please enjoy it anyways.

I opened my eyes to see his smile. Not his whole face, just his smile. He had stayed with me. His words replayed in my mind as my body woke up from a half peaceful slumber.

‘You’re not the only one hurting.’

He must have sensed that I was awake with him because his grip tightened around me as if he wasn’t ready to let me get up. I pulled my face away from his so I could breathe a little better. Being so close to his face was smothering. He pulled the fallen hair away from my face and tilted my chin up so I was looking into his eyes. He looked as tired as I felt still. I silently wondered if he’d slept either.

“I am going to get my own place this week. I know it’s sooner than expected but I just can’t… “ he sighed stopping himself. “… I don’t want to hurt you Stella.”

“So you’re saying you don’t want anything to do with me?” The slight tone of disgust invaded my question.

“No, I do. I want us to be close but feeling for you the way I do and knowing that you reciprocate those feelings… I just can’t be under the same roof as you without wanting to have you to myself. I know you think I am being heartless but believe me, I am being everything but.” He petted my hair as he spoke.

“So we’re friends then.” The words brought a pain to my chest. I didn’t want to think of Alex as only a friend.

“More than friends.” He whispered softly before planting a warm kiss on my forehead.

“What if we can’t move forward?” The question burned on my tongue.

“We will.” He sighed. “It’s human nature.”

“What if I don’t want to?” I began to weep.

“You will. I will help you.” He comforted.

He ran his nose alongside mine. I felt his nose ring flip against the side of my nose and for the first time since yesterday I genuine smile slipped from my lips. We stayed like this for a few minutes; our warm breathes mixing as our intimate gestures brought our lips closer and closer. I ached to feel his mouth on mine. I wanted to taste him, to feel his soft lips brush against mine, to feel this incredible connection with him. I wanted all of it.

“I’ll give you what you want if you come have lunch with me.” His lips brushed against mine cause my blood to race and my heart to swell. “If bribing you is the only way you will eat, I will do it every day.”

Somehow in the back of my mind I knew it was more of a pleasure for him than a bribe.

“Okay.” I whispered.

His lips hungrily latched onto mine. An exuberant moan slipped from my lips as his mouth fully connected with mine. I felt instant gratification from my aching heart even if it was only for that moment. I knew once it was over I would go back to having this black hole feeling tugging at my heart strings.

His hand rose to my cheek and cupped it softly. My matched his gesture and I pulled him deeper, wanting to taste more of him. I parted my lips and allowed my teeth to gentle pull at his lower lip. He let out a soft sigh and tilted his head so he could have more of me. My tongue traced his soft full lower lip. I wanted to taste more of him. I didn’t know if this would ever happen again so I wanted everything. He wasted no time parting his lips and allowing my tongue to convince his to come out and play. Little convincing was involved.
