Out of pure instinct, I push my body off of the couch and into Christians arms. Even though I sort of pissed him off with my earlier comment, he still showed. This shows me how committed he was to me, to our "relationship" His arms are my sanctuary, my safe place, and I love it.

He let me cry into his chest as he comforted me. "You're Alright now." He says, repeating it to comfort me. This was nice. Him being here for me when I need him at the most.

"So, you guys can crash here tonight. I'm positive Leah doesn't want to go back to the dorm tonight especially with BJ there." Damon says walking back into the living room with blankets and a pillow.

Christian puts the smallest space between us and places his hand on my chin. "That's good with you?" He asks. Damon's right I don't want to go back to his dorm. Knowing BJ he knows that I'll be with Christian. Going back to his dorm would be a stupid idea. I slightly nod my head and place my head back onto his chest.

"Alright, So you guys can sleep in the guest bedroom." He says. Christian places his hand on my back and guides me to the guest bedroom. Damon's apartment was small but comfy. The hallway was very narrow, and straight ahead was Damon's room. We take a left to the guest bedroom, and the room is very simple. It has a double bed, white carpet, and plain white walls.

"Alright, if you guys need anything my rooms not far." He says making his way to the door.
After staring into oblivion, I quickly grab Damon's arm. "Huh?" He simply says.
I pull him into a hug, quietly thanking him for coming to my rescue tonight. The jerk that I thought he was, wasn't who he seemed to be anymore.

"Your welcome. Goodnight Leah." I slowly pull away from the hug, and move a step back to Christian. Damon leaves the room and I'm left here, with Christian, alone. Christian grabs the pillow and tosses it to the head of the bed and places the blanket onto the bed. "If you want I can sleep on the floor." He offers.

I shake my head. "Can you sleep with me? In the bed?" I know asking him this is weird, but I want him to hold me, comfort me the way he usually does. He nods, and takes off his shoes. Right now he's wearing a black shirt with his normal black ripped jeans. I climb into bed, just as he does. Hey lays his body straight, so I can rest my head on his chest as he holds me as we fall asleep.

His chest is so warm and comforting. It's like my own personal heater that I can have twenty four-seven. We lay together in silence, neither of us saying a thing. I begin to trace a circle on his shirt as continues to put his fingers continuously through my hair.

"I'm sorry." I say, breaking the silence.

"For what?" He says. I'm not sure if he wants to hear me say it out loud, or if he really is confused. "For saying that you aren't my boyfriend." He lets out an awkward laugh.

"You don't have to be sorry about that. I was immature for walking out. What you said stung but it wouldn't keep me away from you. Nothing, can keep me away."

Nothing can keep me away either.

I look up at him, and place a kiss on his jawline. He looks down at me, and his warm lips are on mine. Our love for each other runs deep, deeper than I know. I put my hand hand on his cheek as our lips fall against each other. Again, all my problems seem to fade away from a single touch of him. I place my knees on each side of his legs, straddling over him. His hands move from my waist, and to my thighs. His touch is so delicate and soft, it's all I want. I want every part of him.
