A Fateful Meeting (Sequel to A Life-Changing Encounter)

Chapter 4

I woke up in Colby's arms, still on the sofa. We must've fallen asleep whilst the film was on. I looked up at his face and his peaceful expression made my heart skip a beat. How can a human be so heavenly? I leaned up to gently peck his lips but, when I went to pull away, he grabbed my face and pulled me in for a deep, passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and straddled his waist. He moved his arms down to my waist and gently caressed my sides. He yet again tried to go up my shirt and I stopped him again. He pulled away and rested his head in the crook of my neck, lovingly. 

"What's wrong, baby girl?"

"What do you mean?" I ask, leaning back, slightly confused. 

"Every time I try to have sex you stop me. You won't even let me under your clothing. Is there something wrong with me?"

"What? Of course not."

"Then why do you not want me? I understand that you don't want to but I need you to talk to me if this is going to work." I began playing with his rings.

"There's nothing wrong with you."

"Then why? I need you to tell me why if I'm going to understand."

I sighed deeply, "I'm scared."

"Of me?"

"No, not of you, of sex." He looked kind of surprised but I don't blame him.

"oh."

"It's not your fault. It's just things, that have happened to me, have scarred me. I'm sorry."

"What kind of things?" I lowered y head as a single tear, silently, left my eye. He lifted my chin and looked, deeply, into my eyes, hypnotizing me. 

"Like harassment... rape," Colby looked heartbroken as these words left my mouth. I'm sure he already knew what I meant but he didn't want it to be true. He took each of y fingers and kissed them, lovingly. 

"I'll wait for you baby, you're worth it." I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I snuggled into his chest and he placed a soft kiss on the top of my head. 

I've never been in a relationship or willingly had sex. I'm scared of getting hurt. I'm scared and not sure what to do but Colby is worth it. I've never felt this way about someone before but I'm scared of hurting him. He deserves better than me. I think I'm just going to go home. It'd be better for him.
