Hidden Secrets - A Beau Brooks Fanfic

Chapter Eighteen

I have put a picture of what I imagine Dahlia to look like (Aka Miranda Kerr:)

I am awoken for the second time that morning by the birds outside and with Dahlia still sleeping in my arms. The duvet had been pulled down and entangled with her legs revealing her flat stomach. I watch her tummy rise and fall, noticing cut marks just above her hip and I gently run my fingers over them, feeling the torn skin. Goose bumps instantly appear but she doesnt stir. The light peaks through the blinds, crawling around the room almost making her seem angelic with a gold band of light shimmering around her hair.

"Beau?" 

I look down to see her eyes barely open, squinting against the sun. She smiles, pursing here lips. They looked so...kissable. "mmmm?" I reply, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. 

"Thank you" She says taking in a deep breath and snuggling deep down into the crevasse of my neck. I kiss the top of her head and she looks up. It was now or never. With my free hand, I hook her gently under the chin and pull her face nearer to mine, our noses just touching. I notice her begin to hold her breath and I stare deeper into her eyes. I touch my chapped lips to hers and she exhales. I didnt want to suffocate her. It was only yesterday I had made her cry so I pull away. She seems to look rather upset when I do so, her eyes pleading me for more but she doesnt say anything. I place another kiss on her nose before getting up and pulling on my jeans again and a clueless top. I sense her watching my every move from across the room .

"I thought we could maybe get going again today? I mean, we dont really need to stay here much longer" I say, picking my tooth brush out my bag and walking into the bathroom.

"Yeah, sure, your boss" She replies and I hear her open her own bag that I had brought in the night before. "I was thinking maybe I could ring my mum?"

I stop brushing my teeth and look at her as she walks up to sink with her own toothbrush. She was bound to ask soon.

"Dahli.....I don't think that thats a good idea"

"But Beau, she my mother, she's been in hospital for the past two weeks. She's probably wondering why I haven't visited her; unless of course Ian has poisoned her with some stupid lie"

"Bound to have done, I've kidnapped you remember" she rolls her eyes and a big smile spreads across her face. "Your so beautiful" I say in a hushed tone, wrapping my arms around her waist and placing gentle kisses around her neck. 

"Beau seriously, get off, I'm trying to get ready!" She giggles, tugging at my hands, but I grip on tighter, lifting he up and throwing her over my shoulder. 

"Beau! Put me down!!" 

"We must leave at once Miss Gray! No time to waste!" I below in my best corporal accent before picking up both our bags in the other hand and exiting the room. 

*Dahlia's POV*

It didnt take long the leave the hotel. Beau just signed us out at the lobby and we were on our way. He agreed with me about ringing my mum in the end. As soon as I get in the car I call her.

"Hello?"

"Dahlia?"

"Yes mum, its me, how are you?"

"Oh, Dahlia, its t-t-terrible, wheeeeeere are yooooooo? Are you okaaaaay? I just cant believe your still a-a-alive!" she slurs, the words tumbling out her mouth. I hated it when she was drunk.
