Run Away With Me

24

I walked in to see Blake leaning against the counter. His back was facing me, his head was looking down and as soon as I started walking he became tense. "Hey." I whispered as I walked towards him. I didn't get a response. "Listen I just wanted to say tha-" He quickly turned around with tears falling from his eyes. "What?! What did you want to say that could possibly make all of this better?! That you were sorry? Did you really think that would help?!" He shook his head and walked away. I stood there dumbfounded at his outburst. I heard the bedroom door slam and I started to walk towards the room. I opened it to see Blake shirtless as he was looking through his drawers for something to wear. "I don't want to talk." he said. "Well I do! Blake I need you to understand that I didn't know this was going to happen." "Lexie, I told you how my father was. You sat there a believed he truly loved me or wanted to see me and catch up on my life. He played you so that he could see me and tear me down." "Well how was I supposed to know he was going to do that?" I said in frustration. "I told you about him! You should've trusted me! He spat at me. "I do trust you Blake! I just didn't know that this was how everything was gonna play out! I want you happy. He is your family and I wanted you to create a bond wit him." "Well that isn't your job! You have no right to do that! This is my family and whatever happens between us is our business!" He said. "I love you Blake and I want you happy!" "Then keep him away from me!" He yelled. "Calm down!" I said as I grabbed his arms. I walked him over to the bed and sat him down. "Blake. You need to breathe. I understand you are mad, but please, breathe." I calmly said. He inhaled and exhaled slowly as his eyes were closed. "Let's go to bed and in the morning have a good day. We can have a good breakfast and stay in and watch TV. Okay?" He looked at me and smiled. "I love you." I leaned in to kiss him, "I love you too." I smiled as he ran his hands through my hair.

I woke up and went to the kitchen, I made eggs and bacon and set it on a plate to give to Blake. He slowly walked in as he rubbed his eyes. "Morning beautiful." He groggily said. "Morning handsome." I said as I made my way to kiss him. "Let's go to the couch and eat breakfast." He walked to the couch and I followed him with the plates in my hands. I handed him his food and we watched TV for the rest of the day. 

It was 6 now, and we officially wasted our day, but thats what we needed. We needed an uneventful day with crappy tv and good food. We just wanted to be together and thats what we got. "I just wanted you to know that I really do love you." Blake said. I looked over at him and I could see the sincereness all over his face. "I love you too Blake. I really want you to know though, that I am truly sorry about last night. I was an idiot to think that you two could muster up a relationship all of the sudden. I just want you to be happy." I said. "But I'm happy with you. I just need you and nothing else." I smiled and he leaned in to kiss me. "Can we just order pizza? I really don' t want to do anything tonight." I said. "Sure thing babe." He got up from the couch and went to order in the pizza. 

The rest of the night we ate pizza and watched tv. Nothing major happened, we were just together and nothing could ruin that moment.
