You Are My One And Only.

Chapter 4

At uni the following week she didn't care who saw us kiss, she just kissed me everywhere, infront of people and alone and in lectures everywhere, it was great really. I was walking to go and get lunch when I heard a haul of laughter roll into my ears, I turned around and people where staring at me, it was like high school again, my ears became muffled and I could just about make out what the girl a the front of the crowd was saying " you disgusting gay" I had really bad Agoraphobia so I began hyperventilating and ran off to the bathroom to wash my face, still hearing the laughing crowd.

I pushed open the bathroom door and ran over to the sinks, I hear a girl crying, it sounded like.... Her, I walked over to the stall and knocked "hello?" A reply came " baby? Is that you?" "Yes are you okay what's the matter?" The door opened to a bloody faced girl staring with her emerald green eyes into my brown eyes " they hurt me, I'm supposed to be 20 years old not 15 anymore, I thought I was done with this shit, well I guess not" my eyes looked deep into hers as tears filled both of our eyes, I was crying because the love of my life has been hurt and she's probably crying because she's in pain, I reach for her hand and pull her into me caressing the back of her head and nuzzling her hair, I slowly pull back and kiss her, then take her over to the sink to help clean her up, the worst thing is she has Aquaphobia after nearly drowning in a lake as a child, because her parents didn't give a damn about her.

We walked out of the bathroom hand in hand after getting cleaned up, we decided it was best we go home to the house we now share (her house) I live with her now, Its really great being able to live with her, my parents didn't mind me moving in with her so I did. We got home and I went into the kitchen to get us a drink, I picked out s bottle of wine and poured it into glasses, I walked back into the living room where she was sitting, I handed her the wine and we drank it. After a few minutes I decided to go for a bath, and asked if she wanted to join me, she shook her head, she needed to make her phobia less daunting so I decided to take her with me anyway.

I turned on the tap and the water poured into the tub, her breathing became faster and shorter as the water started to fill up the tub " I'll get in first then you will come in after okay?" She nodded, it's weird seeing her vulnerable side, it nice to be in control of her, she's normally in control of me. I strip down to my underwear and so does she, I then strip down naked and then step into the tub and turning off the tap, I looked into her eyes " hold my hand" I say softly as I hold out my hand she hesitates for a second but takes hold of it as I walk her towards the side of the tub, I slowly get her to stand in the tub, at this point her breathing is out of control and she is shaking like a small puppy, I hold out my arms and she dives into the as our body heat fuses and I plant small kisses up her body.

"I need to wash the blood away" I say sternly, she looks up and nods I grab a wash cloth and begin wetting it and applying soap to it, then I begin to wash her back seeing the scars of where her parents hurt her as a young girl, I try not to linger on one area as I carry on washing her body, I can feel her nails digging into my arms as her breathing become heavy and fast I comfort her with "it's alright" and "I'm here" so that she knows that she's safe and she's not going to drown, I love her too much to let anything happen to her.

After about half and hour in the bath I slowly step out helping her out after me, I quickly grab a towel and place it around her then I get one for myself as we make our way into the bedroom. I dry both of our hairs running my finger down her back to sooth her and make her calm again, her breathing was slowly going back to normal speed and she was becoming more content. I covered her back and neck in kisses and we both got dressed into comfortable clothing for the perfect night in.
