HERE FOR HER

CHAPTER 29- I'm Special!

He rolled a strand of my dark brown hair in his fingers and kept playing with it. After doing it for a couple of times, his hand rested on my back. But again his fingers found my hair.

Honestly, it seemed too magical to be real. It calmed me. I was no longer crying. My panting was soon replaced by gentle breathing. My fingers traced patterns on his hard chest. His muscles contracted and relaxed with every breath he took. His heartbeat felt so good underneath my hands. It wasn't awkward that I was lying in my bed with a guy. Rather, it seemed so natural that none of us were hesitant.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, listening to his heartbeat carefully. It was a song to my ears I was too engrossed in.
Suddenly, I felt his lips pressed against my forehead as the heat radiated through my body, making me shiver a bit. A small smile formed on my lips as I thought that this is what people call 'goals'. But unfortunately, we were good friends and nothing more than that. But maybe these were 'friendship goals'. My smile soon faded at the stupid thought.

"What happened?" He asked, making me look up at him.

"Hmm?" I passed him a questioning look.

"What made that beautiful smile on your face disappear, huh?"

"Nothing." I mumbled as I laid back on his chest and closed my eyes.
Maybe this magical and unreal feeling was just an illusion to me. And maybe he did it just because he thought of me as a good friend.

I heard a low chuckle escaping from his mouth which caused his chest to shake a bit. But I felt too lazy to look up and ask him the reason that made him laugh. I just wanted to feel this moment and make it last forever. Who knows if I would ever feel it again?

Again silence took over the environment. I was sleepless. And it seemed that he didn't mind staying awake too. I wanted to tell him to go to sleep and take some rest but that would be really awkward. First possibility was that he would just sleep here with me. And the other was that he would leave me and go back to his home. Call me selfish or whatever, but I needed him by my side as a assurance that I wasn't a wreck.

I didn't knew what to do so, unintentionally, I just kept playing with his fingers which were resting on his chest. It was a bad habit that I acquired from Ace. But I just couldn't help it. And he didn't mind it either. His fingers kept moving along with mine in perfect sync without any hesitation. He had really long and graceful fingers which made me jealous. People say NO ONE IS PERFECT. But when I look at this guy, I'm always like 'nevermind.. He is.'. Because he really is. And I was laying with this Perfect guy here.

A giggle escaped from my lips when I thought about it but I quickly tried to cover it.
"Entertain me too, princess." He muttered. I could feel the hint of amusement in his voice.

I looked up at him and he was smiling like crazy. I tried not to smile but somehow I was grinning like a madman too.
"How can you be so perfect?" I asked as I tilted my head to the side, wondering.

He chuckled in response and looked back at the ceiling. My eyes followed his each and every movement. How his beautiful eyes shone when he laughed and how he showed his perfect teeth, his beautiful features. It was as if God sculpted him with His very own hands.

"Seriously, Aiden. I never thought I would ever have someone like you in my life. Ever." I mumbled as I laid back in my previous position. His fingers ran through my hair.

"Neither did I." I murmured back.

I looked back at him abruptly as I furrowed my forehead in confusion.
"Why? They are many other girls like me too." I said.

"You're not like them, Bella. You're special." He replied as he shrugged his shoulders underneath me.

And then I felt.
The feeling.
