Remember FourTris

Chapter 9

He finally decides to break the silence. “I'm here… I wont ever let anyone hurt you. I promise.” He whispers into my ear and his steady, soft voice tingles in my ear.

I resist my body's instinct to jerk away.

I don’t want to. Right now, I don’t want to be anywhere, except here, in his arms, him holding me.

He has me close and my head is against his chest; on his heart.

I hear his heartbeat picking up with each breath he takes.

For some unknown reason to me…. Right now… His everything calms me down. His whisper, his touch against my waist. Even his deep breathes where his chest rises and falls.

I can almost forget everything… Wait… Spoke too soon… Ugh.

I think by now he's figured that I like it when he whispers in my ear cause here he comes, doing it again. I'm starting to like this guy.

“Go back to sleep, I'll fight off the bad dreams if they come.” He says with such a soft and hushed voice.

I look up to him and see him smiling at me. I only now notice that I'm shaking… Please tell me I didn’t start doing that after he whispered to me. No I couldn't have. He would have a smug smirk on his face. Okay thank god.

I finally am able to crack a slight smile. “With what?”

He brings his face close to mine.

The strange thing is that he doesn’t do what I was expecting.

He looks me in the eyes with a smirk on his face “With my bare hands, obviously.”

I giggle a bit.

As far as I can remember, nothing has made me laugh in a long time.

His smile grows bigger as he sees my laugh. I look up to him again.

“What?” I ask while still half laughing.

“I…” He shakes his head. “I'll tell you another time… For now go to sleep Bea.”

I smile and begin to close my eyes when suddenly I jerk them open and smile big.

“What did you call me?”

Of course he plays it dumb and says “What?”

I bite my lip and put my hand on his chest and shake him a bit pleading.

“Four!! What did you call me!?” We both laugh and he puts his hands up in surrender. “Fine, fine. I called you Bea.” He says.

My smile grows bigger. “Why?” I ask. I honestly want to know why… But it’s also partially because of his voice… I can’t get over its sound.

I look into his deep blue eyes but this time I don’t get lost in them. I only become more aware of him. “I'm personally used to calling you Tris.” He begins and pauses so I assume he is done and I'm about to ask how that has to do with calling me Bea.

As soon as I open my mouth he puts a single finger up my lips. “Sshhh.” He says with a smile as his finger presses onto me not harshly but just enough that I can feel the press and smile. I know he is going to begin again but his eyes have now wandered down to my lips. They don’t move.

I smirk and then let my eyes drift down to his separate lips.

I can see his crave for one more kiss. Just one more.

God only knows when the last time he kissed me was. Well I mean from before the accident, or whatever it was.

I see him lean in a bit and pull away and he finally looks down away from my lips and away from me. He opens his mouth to speak again but I can't take it. I won't let him make such sweet gestures and let him think I don’t want him with me.

I put my finger over his lips this time and he looks back to me with a confused face.

I smile and kiss his cheek. I can't kiss him just yet and really mean it to mean what I hope it will.

I don’t move my face away from his. I close my eyes and keep myself as close as possible. “I'm sorry I just… I can't…”

He cuts me off by taking my hand and intertwining it again. “I understand.” He says in a soft tone with a reassuring smile.

I sigh in relief. I rest my head on his shoulder with my eyes closed.

“Thank you…” I say softly. “Don’t worry about it, for now, get some sleep.”

I can almost hear the smile in his voice.

I nod and put an arm around the lower part of his chest, holding him close to me so he wont leave. I know its childish but I feel safer.
