"Come here, Trippie," he told me. I sat down beside him on the coach as a tear rolled down my cheek & fell into my lap. My eyes stayed glued to my hands. "I'm sorry," he said while reaching for my hand. I resisted and my hands stayed in my lap. "All I wanted ... was to..make you happy .." I whispered. He held my chin and tilted my head up & towards him. More tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared into his dark brown eyes. "You already make me happy," he smiled. There. That smile. It was so .. reassuring. It was so warm and comforting. I forced a smile on my face through the tears. "I was gonna do it for you, Checka," I told him. He frowned. "I know... but I couldn't let you do that..." he said. "But you let them drug me," I reminded him. "I thought you needed something to take the edge off a little.. I didn't know you were gonna eat so many," he answered. The edge off .. did I seem that stressed and nervous? I repositioned myself into his lap and put my arms around his neck. He wiped my face.. I forgot I had been crying. "You're beautiful," he said. I couldn't help but blush. It's moments like these that help me to remember why I'm with him. He rubbed my back as I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat.. again. It was calmer. His hands felt warm against my cold skin. My mind was so clogged that I forgot I was just in a bra and shorts. Half of my body exposed but yet I was so comfortable around him. "Can we..." I softly trailed off. His warm hands found their way to my bra hook & it quickly became undone. My bra fell from around my shoulders. I threw it to the side. My breast pressed against his chest. He cradled me in his arms and brought me to his room. After lying me on the bed, he kissed me. He kissed me long and hard. There was so much emotion behind this kiss.. so much passion. This kiss was the final confirmation that I wanted to do this. The kiss went from my lips.. to my neck .. to my breast.. to my stomach. My body temperature rose. I was no longer cold.
