Your's Only

Falling

"Come on, just close your eyes Angel" his voices softens in my head.

"I swear, I will squash you with my ass if you don't catch me"

He chuckles softly and looks up at me, "I won't let you fall"

...

I slowly close my eyes, feeling them warm up under my dark lids, a heavy cold gush of wind sprinting up Millie's pyjama bottoms as I shiver in place. my chest rising higher and lower every time I look down at the never ending height.

Ohmygod..

"Catch me!" I scream to Miles as I take an enormous jump down off the pole, and feel my top flying up against the rush of the wind like a parachute as I try and pull it down. The ends of my pjs flying up in circles, as I feel multiple heavy goosebumps rise all over my body.

Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!!!!!!!

I just jumped to my death! Why would I listen to him! Ohmygod!

"Miles!" I shout as soon as I land in a pair of soft, warm heating arms surrounding my whole body.

"You can open your eyes now Angel," the husky sound of his voice breathes warmly against my neck, making my heart beat faster than usual.

I didn't even know my eyes were squinted shut until I slowly open them, and see his jet black eyes against the full, bright moon cornering mine. "I-I-I" I stammer foolishly, my arms secured against his masculine and hot chest.

"Shh." one of his fingers, holds itself up against my warm lips, as I breathe lightly against it. "I won't let you fall," he whispers. "didn't I tell you that?"

Ugh, how badly I want his lip on mine. I want to kiss him so badly, and feel the pressure heating up cautiously between our lips...

"Come on," he grabs me by my wrist and drags me along the dark night.

Wait.. when did I reach the floor?

'When you were dreaming about his lips ,sleeping beauty!' my subconscious sarcastically states.

"Where are we going?" I say as we pass a grassy field, from what I can see.

"Shh, it's not too far" he turns around looking at me, before looking back.

After passing a few trees and pebbly lanes, we reach a short looking forest and that's when I stop him in his tracks.

"I'm not going in there," I whimper trying to catch my breath.

"Yes you are, now come on... look if your scared its alright to admit it, Angel"

"I'm not scared!" I'm way beyond scared, but I'm not gonna admit it to him! All he'll do is make fun of me and I'm not gonna let that happen.

"Come on, you trusted me when you jumped over the veranda, why can't you just do it again?"

Umm because their might be a lion hiding in there, and multiple snakes!

"Because," I fold my arms, not wanting to give an explanation.

"Because why?" he folds his arms, and gives me a dopey smirk.

"Because!" I snap, clearly frustrated.

"Because why?"

"Because!" I shout, going red.

"Be-cau-se.... why?" He breaks them up clearly mocking me.

Ugh!

"You know what! Fine! I'll go in your stupid forest!" I state, walking forwards with him. "But if anything happens to me, I swear I'm going to kill you Miles!"

After what may have felt like a week, but only been 10 minutes, he stops me at a....

"Woa-wo" the place is so beautiful it's beyond words. A creek lays flatly, and sparkles with multiple of colours above it as the moon glows above it. The creek is surrounded by a few grey rocks, and a big hollow oak tree facing it.

"I knew you'd like it,"

"I love it," I whisper still astounded and surprised as how something could be this beautiful. "What is this place?" I finally look at him, and see that the colour of the water has transferred against his sculpted and hard jaw line.

"Just something I found a long night ago."

"Wow, it's so beautiful"

"Yeah it is, come here" his palm lays on my wrist, as we walk around it slowly until we're sitting up against a tall oak tree.

"So, why am I here? If I had a place like this, I'd kept it to myself, my secret."

"Well I wanted to apologise for yesterday, and I am keeping it a secret along with you,"

I feel my cheeks heat up, as soon as the words tumble from his lips.

"So," I try and change the subject, "your family's really.. just like home" I shrug, smiling at him.

"Yeah, I guess they are" he laughs.

"That made no sense ,did it?"

"No, no it did" he smiles, "I guess they've always been ...like home" he teases giving me a light push before his eyes open back really wide looking at me.

"What happened?" I have to ask, as his palm lowers and raises slowly on my shoulder.

"Your freezing cold Angel"

"I am?"

Did I just say that out load? Please tell me I did not just say that out loud.

"I shouldn't have brought you here, at least not in the middle of the night when the weathers like this" I frown as he smiles slowly tucking a loose hair strand away from my face and tightening it behind my ear. "Here, but you might still be cold" he shivers off his leather jacket as he wraps it around me and tightens it around my small body.

I feel the heat progressing inside of me and the leather of his jacket spraying out a spicy, warm cologne against my neck.

"There," he says giving me a light smirk. "Skye can I ask you a question?"

"About?"

'You don't need to know what the questions about, only that he said your name' my subconscious screeches into my ears.

"Where's your family? Your mum, your dad?" I frown at the mention I my dad and steady my head down facing the ground.

"Can we go, I'm kinda cold and tired..it's really..."

"Tell me Skylar," he interrupts, his eyebrows pushed against each other in concern.

I sigh, before accidentally snapping at him, "there's nothing to tell Miles, what do you want me to say, that my dad was perfect! There was not one night that he would come home boozed and smell drugged and look disgusting! My dad was absolutely pe-rfect there wasn't a night he wouldn't des-troy my m-um in bruises and ...tears" I cry out feeling my cheeks staining with warm tears, as I look at Miles with emptiness in my heart,

"Shh," he quickly reaches in and hugs me tightly, securing my body in his arms like there are only a few minutes till we die.

"He.. That man- sol-d me at the age of 7 Miles" I stammer, skipping through my sobs.

"Shh, it's alright. I'm sorry.." He whispers after a while.

I stay locked in his warm and masculine arms for a few minutes before I feel my eyes lazily slip into darkness.

And before I know it...

I'm fast asleep secured inside Miles arms...
