And Then I Found You

Never ending circles

Blinking a little as the brightness of the morning sunlight streamed through the living room windows Johnny squinted as he looked down to the sleeping beauty sleeping against his shoulder. He smirked a little at Helena sleeping peacefully in his arms and smiled remembering just how she snuck in beside him on the sofa last night. As much as he wanted to stay mad at her it seemed impossible. What she did had upset him even hurt him, but now having this week to really think about it, he now realised that maybe he had been a little harsh on her. Dominic was the baddy here and therefore he should't have taken all his hatred and anger towards what had happened on his wife. He should have told her the story about Katie a long time ago, if he had he knew she would have distanced herself more.

But still the thought of Helena smoking that night still twisted his insides with both anger and fear. Not only that but she got herself drunk, very drunk to the point she allowed that bastard to force himself on her. Force himself? maybe he really did after all? His thoughts were making him go a little crazy and now as he looked at Helena fast asleep in his arms he could only feel guilty about loading all the blame on her. She had told him she didn't kiss Dominic back and for that he knew that asshole had obviously taken advantage of her drunken state. Why would she kiss him? she wouldn't do that if she was in a right sate of mind? right?

He had been so blind by jealousy that he hadn't even realised just how silly this whole thing was. I mean, this was Helena for gods sake! would he really think she had cheated? after everything? after Tabitha after her giving birth to his first ever child, after her heart operation... after everything! No! she wouldn't!

It was like he had been hit by a huge truck. Like everything he had been so angry about this last week was no so clear to him. Now all he felt was guilt, he shouldn't have pushed her away, this was ridiculous how could he seriously believe that Helena could be like Katie? She was nothing like the woman he once loved, she could never hurt him, ever!

Looking back at her now as she began to grumble slightly against his shoulder Johnny found himself smiling at the way she frowned deeply in her sleep. Sleeping on the sofa was not the comfiest of places let alone having to share. "Hellie..." he whispered gently lifting his one free arm to wrap around her even as she didn't seem to stir at all.

"Baby...." He whispered into her mass of dark curls before hearing her groaning slightly which made him simply smile, she was never a morning person.

"Hel...." this time he began to trail light kisses over her cheek and up to her nose making her frown even deeper and moan even louder as she was beginning to wake up. Smiling against her skin Johnny cupped her face gently in his hand and ran his thumb over one of her thick eye brows gently before running the tips of his fingers over her strong cheekbone and striking jaw. She really was beautiful, one of a kind.

"Wake up" he whispered again before gently leaning down to claim her blood red lips that had been torturing him all morning and now that his lips had gently began to kiss her he only smirked as she opened her eyes in surprise. "Morning" he smiled now she was awake.

Squinting up at him Helena groaned again as the harsh light blinded her. "Johnny?"

Chuckling at her he freed his arm from underneath her head and balanced himself up on his elbows as she laid beneath him now still frowning in the bright light. "I'm here" he teased stealing another kiss from her lips and smiling when she woke with a slight confused expression across her face.

"Johnny?"

"Hmmm?" he mumbled kissing the top of her nose while she continued to frown up at him.

"Did we talk last night? have you forgiven me?" she whispered trying to comprehend his weird behaviour this morning. She expected to wake up sleeping alone on the sofa when in reality he was kissing her instead. Just what had got into him?
