Addiction

Chapter 5

Chris' POV

I stared at the fan, whirling in my room, when suddenly I get a notification through Facebook. I open up my phone and see that it's a message from Eva. I smile at seeing her name pop up and I open it up immediately.

Hey Chris, I know it's late but if you could call me then I would be really happy to hear your voice.

Attached to her message is her number and I anxiously put her number in my phone then dial it. A few rings in, she picks up the call.

"Hello?" She says with a shaky voice, as if she's been crying.

"Eva, are you okay? You sound like you've been crying?" I say sincerely and as I recognize the truth, I hear her whimper and cry more.

"Chris...can you come over? I don't want to be alone right now and I need to talk about some stuff that happened tonight." She says with hope that I'll say yes.

"Of course. Just give me your address and I'll be right over sweetheart." I say into the phone delicately as she begins to calm herself.

...

"Would you like something to drink?" She offers to me as she pulls her hair up into a messy ponytail. She wears a baggy hoodie and has been adjusting it so I can't see her neck ever since I've come over. She doesn't notice that I've realized but I have.

"No thanks. I'm fine." I say and I pat the spot on her bed by me and she obliges by coming over. She sits in front of me and her eyes are bloodshot and puffy, she's been crying. I place my hand on her cheek delicately and she jumps from my unexpected touch but quickly leans into it after realizing that it's me.

"What happened beautiful?" I say sympathetically to her. She looks down and tears begin to form in her eyes. She holds onto her hoodie and finally takes it off revealing the ugly truth.

Dark bruises cover her neck as if someone had hit her. They are all in a row on both sides of her neck and she continues to keep her gaze towards her bed spread. My eyes water at the horrendous scene and I lift her head as I see tears fall out of her eyes.

"Did he do this?" I ask and she is silent while staring at me with soft eyes. Her eyes are pale from all the crying she's been doing and I can't help but wish I could've been here for my princess.

"Stay with me tonight? I..I..I don't know what I would do if he came back and I was here all by myself." She says while more tears flow out of her eyes. She is frantic and obviously scared for her life. I shut her up by pulling her face towards mine, kissing her pink lips that are now chapped from her crying.

Her lips engulf mine like a wave and the sensation of her lips on mine is overwhelming. Our lips move in sink and she lingers on mine as if they were her life support right now. She doesn't pull away because the thought of Jonas finding out is tragic, she remains in this moment with me and it's pure bliss. We pull apart for air and she smiles at me.

"Thank you." She says with sincerity in her tone. I smile and place a kiss to her forehead before she lays down next to me on her bed. I hold her tightly against my own body and I fall asleep to the sound of her soft breathing.

...

"Wake up handsome." She whispers into my ear quietly but still loud enough to wake me up. She places a kiss to my lips and I wrap my arms around her tight as I pull her on top of me. She straddles my waist and I admire her beauty. Her ginger hair flows effortlessly down and her eyes shine brighter than the sun, the shirt she wears bunches up on her waist and her skin has a glowing look. I take a moment to enjoy this moment before she leans down to kiss me once more.

Our lips tangle together and eventually our kisses become hungrier for each other. My hands that are holding her waist slowly move down to her voluptuous ass and she soon stops the heated moment. She catches her breath and then speaks up.

"Wanna stay for breakfast?" She asks me and I respond with sincerity.

"I would love to." I say before we climb out of the bed and up the stairs to the main level. She walks in front me and a petite kitchen with a semi large dining room is shown to me.

"You can sit down at the table while I cook." She says with a smile. She starts to make potato pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fresh juice. She diligently works her way around the kitchen and I can't help but admire how perfect this moment is.

I feel my phone vibrate and I check it while Eva finishes bringing plates over to the table. I read it silently and as I finish reading, Eva speaks up.

"Is everything okay?" She asks while sitting down next to me. I nod my head and put away my phone leaving the message open on my screen. I lean over the small distance between Eva and I to place my lips on hers as a thank you.

As I enjoy the lovely meal my lover has made me, I can't help but reread the message over and over again in my head.
