Chapter 8 | Those Blue-Green Eyes

~Annabelle's P.O.V~

A boy around my age, with his back to me was in front of the door.

"Umh...hi?" I questioned.

The boy shot around so quickly, I thought he would get whiplash.

"Belle..?" He whispered.

I knew that voice. The voice that haunted my dreams for the past few months. Tears glazed over my eyes.

"It can't be..." I shook my head softly.

He removed his sunglasses and I almost broke out into sobs right then and there.

My heart stopped and my eyes found the piercing bluish-green eyes I fell so hard for.

I gasped.

"Ethan..?" I managed to choke out.

"Belle..." He choked out, taking two steps into the doorway and cupping my cheeks.

I stumbled slightly. His lips moved against mine feverishly, and I responded with he same passion.

"Ethan...Ethan oh my god." I choked out in between kisses.

He backed me up against the little pillar on the side of the living room and grasped the backs of my thighs. I jumped, wrapping my legs around his waist. His hands grasped the backs of my thighs and my arms wrapped around his neck, hands tangling in his hair.

Our lips moved feverishly against each other, showing the other person just what we felt for each other. I wasn't denying how I felt anymore, nor was I questioning it.

He moved his mouth off of mine, trailing kisses down to my neck. His soft lips left opened mouth kisses and with the softest voice, he spoke.

"I love you Belle. I've loved you since I saved you that night...." He stopped his light kisses and brought his head up, leaning his forehead against mine. Both of our breaths mingled with each other, our chests heaving. "....I can't live without you Belle. When I felt that plane start going down, the first thing that came into my head was you..." His voice never going above a whisper, tears gathering in both of our eyes.
"....I just..." He trailed off, his lips trembling. "I don't want that to happened again. I'm too attached to you Belle, if I died-"

My lips attached to his again. Both of us kissing each other the same way we just were, only this time, more passionately. I moved my head back ever so slightly, our lips detaching just for a moment or two so I could say what I needed to.

"Stop Ethan, you're here now and you're ok. That's all I care about. All I care about is you." I whispered.

He slammed his lips back onto mine and pulled me off of the pillar. I moved closer to him so I wouldn't fall as he walked down the hallway to my bedroom.

*Hours Later.*

The soft melody of Ron Pope's voice with "A Drop In The Ocean" flowed through the room. The volume low so the song just whispered out of the speakers.

The soft lips that left feather like kisses on my neck made me smile softly, my eyes fluttering shut. The chocolate brown hair tickled my chin and the kisses trailed back up to my lips. They interlocked and I let out a soft moan.

The pure white sheets covered Ethan and I in all our glory, the couple of hours that have passed since we both gave ourselves to each other, both of us glowing, both of us feeling the same thing. The marks on his back from my nails were prominent and I could only imagine what my body looked like. Probably covered in his marks, not that I minded.

His hands were beside my head, but his arms bent down so his head could fall onto mine as he kissed me. My arms wrapped around his neck, the top of the sheet sliding down from my chest. I pulled his closer to me so his upper body was laying on mine. His legs entangled with mine, every part of our body touching.

He pulled back softly, laying his forehead on mine and his eyes fluttering open softly so he could peer into mine. We both just looked at each other, and my hands slid from the back of his head to his face, cupping his cheeks. My thumbs rubbing his cheeks slowly. I softly pecked his nose and smiled softly at him. He returned the smile and nudged his nose with mine.

One of my hands went back around to his hair and added a small amount of pressure on his head so he would collapse onto my chest. He finally did, laying his face inside the crook of my neck. Both of us content being back in each other's arms, we drifted off into sleep.

"A drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most
'cause you are my heaven."
