Handcuffed During The Holidays

CH. 20 I stunned him

CH. 20 I stunned him

(Aimee POV)

I've officially stunned Anthony; he was looking at me speechless.

He was probably wondering what came over me out of a sudden, and I couldn't blame him. I completely turned into a freak because of him.

It must have been a surprise to him.

I had feelings for him; last night just made me realize my feelings for him even more.

Of course, I picked up on some things during the drive, but I denied it all.

I was telling myself there's no way I could fall for him, but how could I not?

The way he looks at me, the way he speaks to me, the way I catch him staring at me when I'm not looking or paying attention.

The way he made me feel last night when I told him my story.

Yes, he was crazy for abducting me, but I guess I like his crazy side.

Yes, I like his crazy side indeed.

Part of me was still scared, as it's always scary to open yourself up to someone.

It's always scary to let someone in.

But Anthony, he knew my past. No one else knows my history in my life right now, but him, my entire history, and Lizzie only knew a bit.

"Is this a dream?" He asked. My heart fluttered that he thought this was a dream.

He thought he was dreaming?

He most likely had it in his mind that there was no way I could return his feelings.

I shook my head, letting out a chuckle.

I bent my head down and kissed his lips, bringing myself back up.

"It's not a dream," I said, staring at him.

He stared up at me; it was insane how I could see his emotions right now. Anthony always had his feelings showing when it came to me.

It made me feel important.

It made me feel loved and treasured like I was something with high value.

How couldn't anyone like someone so adorable as him?

I almost grabbed him to pull him into a hug.

But instead, I moved my body to lay on top of his.

I placed my head on his chest.

"I like you," I said to him. Last night I could have sworn when I was drifting off to sleep that he said he was in love with me.

I knew he said it. There was no way my mind made that up, and for him to have those types of feelings for me just made my heart feel amazing.

I felt his arms wrap around me, and I snuggled more in his arms.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

He let out a nervous smile.

"Yeah, just taking it all in." He said in a low voice. He kissed my forehead, making me want to please him even more.

I raised my head to look down at him.

"Can I touch you?" I asked. He stared at me, his eyes getting darker.

I wanted to make the color of his eyes go darker or lighter from time to time, and it was nice to watch. It was honestly beautiful. I could tell whatever mood he was in, whatever he was feeling just by the way his eyes looked.
