Lost. If there is a word i could use to describe what i have been feeling most of my life, it would be lost. I can't begin to fathom how many times in my life i felt like i was racing through it without really knowing what i was running to. I didn't even realised that i went so far along that i had got lost along the way so lost that i wasn't even able to see myself. I remember the words beeca told me yesterday,that there is so muc more to me that i let on and i either didn't realise it or didn't want to know about it. How did she see me when i couldn't see myself?. I lie in my bed staring at the empty sealing so lost in my own thoughts that i hadn't even noticed the beautiful brunette who was now spooning me in her sleep. I wrap my arms arond her in reponse and wondered if she realised what she was doing, i doubt she did because she would have probably jumped away but then you never know because if there is any thing i knew about Rebecca, it was that i can expect the element of suprise. The pro of was in last nigt.

Last night. I couldn't help the annoying grin which found a way to my face. i needed to stop grinning because i knew that if i kept grinning like this, my jaws would start to hurt soon. But i couldn't help it as this girl who was lying in my arms right now got me head deep in trouble. But then i was probably in trouble right from the day she stood up to me but i never realised it. I was in trouble whenever she smiled at me, she had one of the most genuine and beautiful smiles anyone could ever have but i had no idea the trouble that smile was getting me in. Hell i didn't even realise it even realise it when i cared enough to risk my self being stuck inside a burning building just to make sure she was alive. I remember staying back all because of a hunch whether she was out safely or not and when i realised she wasn't i don't know why i couldn't help the overpowering feeling to make sure she got out of there alive.

It was only last night when she told me about let me touch, when she let me hold her that i realised that she was someone precious in my life and i may never be able to find a replacement for her. And i remembered thinking throught the night as we made love that i shouldn't do something that would make her reflect on this night as a terrible mistake. I wanted to show her how precious she really is.

I play with her hair twirling it around my fingers and i noticed a soft smile on her lips as i did so. i smile at this and take this as an opportunity to leave open mouth kisses on her bare shoulder. i could see a familiar shade of red on her cheeks when my lips grazed her soft skin and this made me grin even more. I continued to leave open mouth kisses on her shoulder and arms enjoying the moment i have with her right now.

"i know you are awake." I whispered in her ear as i hovered over her. she had a beautiful smile on her lips as she opened her coffee brown eyes.

"good morning." she said as she brushed her hands on my back. Sparks shot through my body by the touch of her skin on mine, something i have never experienced before with anyone and i wondered if i will ever get used to it.

I press my lips on hers and pull her into a soft chaste kiss before we pull apart. we both then start to get dressed.

"did you sleep well?" i ask and she nodded. "good." I said smiling.

"what about you?" she asked me and i felt caught for a second. Judging by the way she was looking at me i could guess she knew the answer to her question.

"it's true i had trouble falling asleep at first." I reply honestly "but that's only because when ever i spend the night with a girl, i would hardly ever spend the night." I finish and she looked at ne with a raised eyebrow. I shake my head at her and i go to her and caress her face with my fingers "but you are not any girl are you becca?" i ask i guess mostly to my self and i could feel her blush against my hand. I place a kiss on her forehead before we head out.
