...Just The Way You Are... [COMPLETED]

III

~Ashleys P.O.V.~

I feel Gabes soft, cold lips on my cheek. He pulls me closer. The long night begins.

How long until he will fall asleep?
Does he know what I know?
Does he know I know that he did this?

What am I going to do?

The night is filled with night terrors of when he is going to get up and do something else to me.
I stair at the clock on my bedside table. It's past midnight. I dare to turn around and face Gabe. When I see his face he is out like a candle. A grin on his face indicates he is dreaming.

He looks peaceful but he is probably dreaming of killing me or anyone of his other victims. I just want to listen to music and pretend I didn't know about Gabe.

A cup of hot chocolate sounds nice. With some punk rock music in my ears sounds great.
I get out of bed and make my way to the kitchen.
They only thing I'm thankful for is that Gabe sleeps heavy. So I can make as much noise as I like.
The ketel clicks and time for hot chocolate starts. I grab my headphones from the desk in my study with my Mp3 player.

I skip almost all the songs until I find Asking Alexandria. "Music to my ears."
First song Moving on I'm in love with this song.
The more I listen to the words said in this song. I feel as if it sums up my situation. The only thing different is Gabe doesn't want to change the world.

A couple of songs pass and my hot chocolate is almost finished.
I don't want to go back to bed. Can't I just get a comforter and crash on the couch?
Painful sleep is equal to not able to run fast if Gabe try's to pull something.

Looks like it's back to bed for me.
Before I go to bed I sit for a couple more minutes. Listening to random music on my Mp3 player. Thinking of nothing. Just listening.
When I decide to get off my ass and jump into bed it is almost 3 a.m.
Gabe is laying all over the bed. "Bebe move up." I say as if i don't know anything. It looks like he heard me because he moves.
I get into bed. Gabe's arms are like snakes imidiatly around my waist and pulling me closer. "My back love." I say before my back touches his chest.
"Sorry hun." Gabe says sleepy. He stops pulling me closer. He kisses my neck and falls back to sleep.

I role around in Gabes arms for maybe more than a hour. The sun starts to rise. I look at my clock and its dawn 5 a.m. how did time fly so fast?
Let's sleep for the next hour.

Yes. I convince myself that Gabe is not going to do anything. One. Two. Three. Go to sleep. Everything grows dark and I find myself asleep.

~6 a.m.~

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep...
My alarm go's off. I'm still alive. I turn to see if Gabe is still next to me. Sure enough as I thought not next to me. Where did he go off to?

"Gabe, babe?" I question.
"Yes love!" He shouts from the kitchen.
"What are you up to this early in the morning?" I ask while getting out of bed, making my way to the kitchen.
"I'm making you some breakfast. I thought I can bring it to you in bed." He says as I make my way into the kitchen.
No thanks cerial killer. I wanted to say. "No need babe, I want to share it with you." I say instead.

"Almost done. Then we can eat." He says.

I make my way around to the stove where he is standing, making us breakfast. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist.

There is no need not to show him some affection. He wil suspect something is up. Wouldn't he?

I kiss his bear back like I always would. His cooking is really good.
"Just a minute babe. Then I'm yours." Gabe says to me.
"I will stay here then. Is that okay?" I ask for permission to stay.
"Yes. I love your affection. I love all of you." There he go's and soften my heart for him. "I love you to." I manage to say these words. I really love him. Before I knew about the things he do.

What will happen if i tell him I know? Will he stay with me? Is he even capable of love?

"Ashley to earth." I hear Gabes voice.
"I'm here. Turn around please." I say.

"What is wrong?" I ask me when he faces me.
I don't give him an answer. His answer is a kiss. A passionate kiss. "Tell me something babe." I say and await an answer. "Anything." He replys.
"Did you do this to me?" I ask him looking him dead in the eyes.

"No. I could never do this to you." He answers. I don't even feel a pulse rate going up, no blink not even one of his lieing faces.
"Okay. Thanks for being honest with me." I say and kiss him once more.
"Ready for breakfast honey?"
"Always." I answer and kiss him one last time and make my way to the table.
