"She's a whistle in the catacombs, a paradox."

"Can I tell you something?"
I nod, inhaling a breath and stare up at him; I stay silent for him to continue.
He lets out a shaky breath, as if he were nervous for what he's about to say. "The first time I met you...that day on the train, you just made me so curious, in a way that no one has ever made me before," he repositions his body, so he's now his chest is facing me. "I know this might sound crazy, but," he lets out another breath, "I think there's something there."
I freeze. Something there? What does he mean? As if he could read my mind, what he says next answers my question.
"What I mean is, the first time I saw you, you just captivated me, you captured my attention in a way that no other person has ever been able to do. That day when I first saw you, you seemed vulnerable, in pain, scarred. I wanted to help you, get to know you, and I still do, and now that we've been here for a few days...the feeling grows with each passing second." He caresses my cheek with his warm hand, tracing small circles, as he inches closer, the smell from his cologne radiating off him. I feel my knees start to go weak, but fight to stand.
"Do you know what feeling I'm talking about, Addie?" He asks, his midnight blue eyes flickering between my hazel irises and my parted lips.
I shake my head, not wanting to speak, for if I did...I would start screaming and squealing.
"Love." Is his simple answer. He wraps his hand around my waist, pulling me impossibly closer to his body so I'm flush against his as he captures my lips with his. Sparks fly all over my body as our lips move in sync with one another's. I melt into his arms, loosing my ability to stand. He laces his fingers in my Burnett hair, and doesn't pull away. The sounds and noises are all mellowed out, the only sounds I hear is our breaths. His every exhale of air fans across my face, sending a chill of excitement and pleasure down my spine.
The sparkling moonlight shines over us, as if it were a spotlight, the wind ruffles my hair. I pull away a minute later, my breaths slightly heavier than before. Cole leans his forehead against mine, his breaths also heavy as he keeps his hand in my hair.
His other hand reaches my cheek, caressing my cheek again. I feel my cheeks burn as my knees fail to carry my weight.
I don't know how long we've been here, but I don't care either. I think I see it now, the feeling that I've been experiencing, it's a feeling so great that it can wash over you like a wave from a hurricane. He's my angel in disguise, and I know this now because, in a way, he saved me.
I have a view on this world, a view that sees everyone as cruel, ruthless, and brooding, but he's changed that. He's shown me a greater life without even trying, a life of freedom and hope, a life that doesn't involve pain and suffering.
I might've fallen too far, with salt in my scars, but he's saved me...he gave me a feeling I've never felt before from anyone. it's a feeling I've forgotten about. A feeling I thought I would never have in my life.
And that feeling is love.
Love
