All for you

Chapter 19

Day 9 in Base

I awake once again before my alarm. 5:59. Only just though. I switch it off before it makes a noise and have a shower, get dressed and sit around waiting to leave.

I walk down to the base and wait, sitting on a rock. A pair of warm hands hugs me tightly from behind, pulling me close. I lean back to see your cheeky smile and your eyes that are just like portals; big, dark and ever so beautiful.

"Good morning my baby girl."

"Good morning my baby bear."

You release your grip and sit down next to me.

"You ok?" I ask tenderly.

"I am now." You pull me close and I lean my head on your shoulder.

"You want breakfast? I'm starving. I don't care what you say I need to eat."

"Yeah. Same here."

We walk, hands tightly gripped in each other's.

"You look very handsome baby bear." It wasn't a massive difference from what you usually wear. Just a t-shirt and some jeans but something made you look different this morning.

"You look very beautiful today my baby girl." I was wearing my some clothes given to me when I got on Hammerlsy. Nothing special but I did do my hair they way you like it.

I smile widely and drag you along to breakfast. We sit and order. The two of us practically vacuum our food down. Eating is our favourite thing to do.

We sit for a while afterward and watch the morning come to life. I turn and ask you a question.

"My place?"

"Yeah. Where are you staying by the way?"

"Student apartments but only the best one. Come. I'll show you. The view is amazing and the bed is comfy."

I bite my lip and stand up. You follow with a giggle and grin. The walk is only 10 minutes. We go up the stairs, past the pool, down the steps, up the other steps, into the building, up more steps and along the corridor to where my apartment is.

"How do you not get lost around here?"

"It's not that bad. Plus why would you want to leave this?"

I open the door and step aside for you walk in. Your face lights up even more with every step. I shut the door behind you and completely pull open the blinds.

"Woah."

"Yep. Pretty cool isn't it?"

"Uhh." You struggle to make any words.

I take your hand and pull you onto the couch.

"You have no idea how much I have missed you. No idea."

"I missed you too babe."

You pull me close and hold me tightly in your arms. You always smell good. I stay attached to you for as long as I can.
