Why Fall For Him

Selena's pov

George runs his cold, slim fingers through my hair. He kneels beside the hospital bed. Our fingers locked. Our lips separated by just a few inches. The cold sensation of his fingers sends chills running down my back. I couldn't exactly pin point my exact feeling for him a few weeks ago but know I know. I'm in love with him. And everything he is. His breath beats against my lips. I feel more powerful than ever. I can touch the sky. We've been alone for several hours. We carried on small talk and looks into each other's eyes for several hours, hesitating to make the first step in weeks. His hair curves just above his eyebrows. His facial hair is groomed and nicely cut. I must admit he's got a stunning complexion.

"Tell me," he pauses. He runs his nose against my skin from my forehead then stops at my ear. I feel a prickling sting where my ear rings should be. I close my eyes and breathe through my nose. My world spins around me, I am lost but I'm familiar with the path I take as I walk along this shore. Then I realize what it is- he tugs at the bottom of my ear with no hesitation at all. I run my hands against his white t-shirt. His shirt covers the belt loops in blue jeans.

"If I mean to you what you say tell me who is it going to be?" His voice is strained and raspy. He pauses between every few words. I hear footsteps inching closer towards us. I look up. It's Justin. He's wearing a white button-up shirt, buttoned only to the fifth button, and black dress pants with a belt for support of keeping his pants up. His hair is messy but swaying to the right with a little height. His wears dress shoes, which catches my attention. His facial hair is nicely groomed to fit his face. I almost choke and have to pull my eyes away from his slender, toned body. He wears a smile on his face and says, without hesitation, "We're going home."

Justin has decided, after a month of staying home, that we, just the two of us should go out. We agreed not to do something too big. Being as our only option, George agreed to stay home with Tessa while we're gone. We won't be gone long, I told him. He of course doesn't like the idea of me being with Justin, after all he's done. So I agreed to strictly no touching, although I'm not sure why we would touch each other. We're two parents catching up on lost love and sharing new experiences with our first born child.

It takes me a while before I'm ready. I decide to wear a short black dress with six inch, black high heels. I stare at my reflection. I close my eyes. I feel slim fingers press against my hips. "Be careful tonight." It's George. I nod and take a deep breath. "I'll be home soon." I say as wiggle myself free from his grip. I walk into the living room to Justin holding Tessa firmly in his arms. He smiles as he stares down at her. He turns to me then to George, who stands behind me with his fingers wrapped around my hips, then he looks back to me and says, "You ready?" He wears a pink button-up collard shirt which he wears buttoned down to the very last one, and black Shoto Lace-Up Boots. He holds a Super Duper The Duke Dove Hat in his hands. I smile and nod my head in response. He leads me out the door after going down of lists things George is restricted to and liable to do while watching Tessa.

This will be good.

*Justin's pov*

After we finish eating, we share a glass of wine and share a toast to New Beginnings. Although, I'm not quite over my first beginning, in which I shared with her. She will always be my beginning and my end.

"There is one thing I wanted to ask you." She nods as I continue. I choke on my words but spit them out soft and slowly. "You left me, why?" I guess there is a thousand different ways I could have phrased that but it's simple. Anything else would have been unbearable. She hesitates to say anything. She begins and looks into my eyes as she speaks.
