An hour later, the couple were still lying in bed under the crisp white sheets having cooled down slightly, Cheryl with her chin rested upon Tre’s bare chest as she looked up at him while he made her laugh by doing his ear trick. “Haha...that's so freaky Tre...how the hell did you ever learn you could actually do that?!” she giggled.
“Well ya know...just checkin myself out in the mirror one day at the fine age of 10, and there they were, just dancing away...haha!” he joked as she laughed her head off at him.
“Creep” she grinned before pulling herself further up him to snuggle her head under his chin. Tre smiled softly, nuzzling the top of her head with his cheek before lovingly kissing her forehead. He had his strong arms wrapped protectively around her back, smoothly caressing her bare skin with his thumbs as she cuddled into him. “I love how cuddly you are...you’re like a big teddy bear!” she mumbled sweetly into the crook of his neck. “I think you’re even worse than me at being a softy!” she giggled sweetly.
“Ha!...only with you babe, I’m not normally like this!” he replied happily, his American accent making Cheryl want to melt. “My friends would rib me if they seen how I am with you!” he laughed as she began stroking his arm lightly, feeling the strongly defined muscles of his biceps. “I couldn't give a sh!t though...even if they were here, I still wouldn't be able to stop being like this with you...you’re too God damn cute!” he groaned, bowing his head down to give her a big kiss on the cheek, making her dimples grow massively.
“I bet when Tyrell get’s here, you turn all blokey!” she joked, putting on a man’s deep voice.
Tre chuckled, squeezing her in tight to him. “Never gonna happen babe...they can take the p!ss all they want, it’s me that gets to be with the most amazing, gorgeous girl in the entire world!” he smiled. Cheryl’s tummy filled with fluttering butterflies at his words as she lifted her head up to look into his warm, caring eyes. He immediately nuzzled his nose against hers, with the cutest smile on his face. She gazed at him adoringly before softly kissing his bottom lip, sucking it only slightly. She soon felt him brush his tongue against her lip, enticing her to kiss more deeply, which she did so, letting his tongue lap against hers rhythmically. As she pulled away again, he continued gazing intensely into her eyes. “You know what...I’m just gonna say it...I think I'm in love with you Cheryl...actually, I know I am!”
Cheryl’s eyes widened instantly. She had not expected him to say that at all. Despite it being quite obvious to both of them how strong their feelings for each other had grown, especially over the past few days, she just hadn't ever imagined him saying those words to her and especially so soon. Before she had time to say anything, he began speaking quietly again, his thumbs still caressing her back, soothingly.
“Babe, I know it’s only been like a month...if that!...haha...and we've been apart for a lot of that time...” he giggled softly, “...but seriously...you have completely turned my life upside down and I can’t imagine ever being without you now...I must have been bored stiff before I met you!” he chuckled as she continued staring straight at him. Tre began to feel nervous. Why hadn't she said anything yet? Why was she not smiling or anything? He began thinking he'd put his foot in it, said it too soon into their relationship. His heart literally felt like it had dropped into his stomach as he noticed her eyes become increasingly filled with tears. He was about to burst into a massive apology but instead was taken totally by surprise as Cheryl suddenly tightly wrapped her arms around his shoulders, burying her head into his neck. Tre hugged her comfortingly in his arms, feeling the wetness of her tears as they landed on his skin.
“Shhh...Baby, please don’t cry!” he softly murmured, raising his hand up to gently stroke her hair before he felt her squeeze him as she eventually lifted her head back up. Tre hated seeing her cry; it broke his heart seeing the tiny droplets of tears fall down her cheeks.
“Sorry...I’m just being soft” she finally smiled, sniffling slightly but sending relief to wash over Tre. He smiled back, rubbing the tears from her face gently with his thumbs.
“...I mean it though chez...I really am in love with you...completely” He spoke so quietly, but it didn't matter. There was only one person he needed to hear what he was saying and she was gazing straight into his eyes, hearing every word.
“I know you meant it...that’s why I turned into an emotional wreck!” she joked quietly, making him smile. “...and I’m in love with you too...so much...I just can't believe this is all happening” she softly breathed as the grin on Tre’s face grew wider and wider. They both giggled slightly, laying their foreheads against each others before Tre wrapped his arms back around her, giving her the biggest hug he possibly could as he heard her laughing with her head over his shoulder.
“Haha!...You scared the sh!t out of me there Chez! I thought you were gonna freak out at me or something!” he gasped, releasing her slightly so she could look at him again.
She shook her head, grinning with her dimples literally bursting, making her look so adorable to Tre. She quickly kissed him on the lips as he tenderly placed both his hands either side of her face. “I love you” he smirked before throwing his head back on to the pillow as she laughed at him. “I can’t believe I actually get to say that to you!...Seriously, get used to hearing it Bambi cos I am gonna tell you it every single day forever!” Cheryl scrunched her nose up as he told her. “...I love you....I love you...I love you!” he kept shouting repeatedly, kissing her quickly on the lips between each time while she giggled hysterically.
“...and I...Mr Holloway...Love you too!” she grinned, pressing her lips deeply against his, his tongue immediately caressing her own as he gently rolled her over underneath him.
Once again the couple made mad, passionate love to each other, this time with an even stronger intensity than before as their bond reached a whole new higher level of togetherness, feelings they'd never experienced before, pounding in their hearts simultaneously.
