I'm Sorry- Garrett Watts x Alex

Chapter 4

Alex's POV

I walked out of the cafe, ready to head home and start preparing dinner for me and Garrett since it was nearly 1:00. I stopped in front of an alley, hearing an oddly familiar voice breathe out, "S-Stop..." I continued to walk down the alley, not pausing to think. I saw a silhouette of a man, and it was obvious that he was trying to rape whoever he held in his grip. I recognized the victim as Garrett, my fists clenching at the thought of him being hurt. His eyes were closed and tears poured out of his eyes, dripping down his cheeks. His pants were already piled around his ankles, and the man had his hands firmly placed against his thighs, locking him into place against the brick wall. "HEY! BACK THE F*** AWAY FROM HIM!!" I bellowed, angry that someone could do something like this. I walked over to the man, swinging my fist until it connected with his jaw. He stumbled backwards, before attempting to kick me, but I easily evaded his sluggish attack.  I kicked him in his no-no spot for any man, putting all my strength into that kick. He fell to the ground, unconscious but not quite dead. I rushed over to Garrett, enveloping him into a hug. He hugged me back, his arms draped around my waist and his face buried in my neck. We stayed like that, in silence. It was a comfortable silence though. No words were needed, he only needed someone to comfort him and that's what I intended to do. I subconsciously put my hands in his hair, running my fingers through his silky blonde locks. He gripped at my shirt, afraid to let go. Eventually I let go of him, and when I did, his face was inches from mine. His eyes flicked to my lips, then back to my eyes. We both slowly leaned in, the gap between us closing rapidly. My lips brushed against his and we both paused, hesitant to make the move. Garrett would only have to lean a faction of a millimeter and we would be kissing. And that's exactly what he did. It was slow and passionate, just the way a first kiss should be. I closed my eyes, letting my hands drift through his hair. He pulled me closer to him, but eventually we had to pull away for air. "I- I love you Garrett.." I whispered. He chuckled before saying, "And I love you Alex.." We stayed like that for a minute or two, my forehead resting against his.
