He comes in and gives me a warm and tight hug from behind, snuggling his head in my neck.

"I am sorry I had to give you a-"

"It'd fine baby, now let's sleep." He nodded and came on the other side of the bed and snuggles me from behind. I smile while going to sleep.

Back to the Story...

----------Next Morning----------

I wake up and see me kookie still sleeping. I wake him up in the cutest way possible. I turn him over and give him a kiss while he was still waking up.

"If you are going to wake me up like this every morning, I will be asleep till you wake me up."

"Stop it, now get ready before I kick you out of the bed."

"I am getting up, jeesh why so violent?"

"Cause you are running a little late Kookie, we should brush our teeth, have breakfast and then go to take a shower." He nods and we brush our teeth. (Yes, we had two sinks in our bathroom.) We finish up and he goes out of the room and heads down before me while I am washing my hands and drying up my face. I come down the stairs and he is making breakfast, toast, and coffee. He knows me too well or is this a typical dish? Either way, I like it. 

"Hey, baby face."

"Baby face? How many nicknames are you going to give me?"

"Don't know, but it is fun." I walk over to get the coffee from him, sit down and wait for him to get the toast for us. 

"Here, the toast is ready."

I smiled at him while he is sitting down and giving me a plate.

"You know, you are the first person who was not in my family from the start to care so much. I have met many people, some wanting a relationship. I would tell them that I want to know if it is real. I would stay at that person's house for a few days to know that person's character. It was all fake, it would disappear when we reach home and treating me like trash. They would try to make theirs. I have had so many incidents like this. I was afraid, scared, pained to know what awaits me in the future with you. I realized that you were not like them, I was ready to spend my future with you, but was I ready? I asked myself that all the time, never ready to hear the answer."

"Why would people do this? I am glad, even though is generally the wrong topic to tell your partner that you are living with, learning about their past is never wrong. I am glad you told me. It isn't an easy thing to do, opening to a person is the most difficult thing to do, even if they are your significant other."

"Thanks for keeping faith in me, even when I said something that would make you run away from me, you didn't. You are still by my side, listening to everything I want to tell you."

"Everyone feels like that, even me, but opening up takes time, a lot of time."

"You have something too?"

"Everyone does, but when a person isn't ready to tell them, force is the last thing they want."

"Kookie? Was it that bad?" He nods and my heart crushes into the smallest pieces ever known, even smaller than an atom. I want to know what happened to him, help him get through it, but as he said, he will open up when he is ready. I don't want to pressure him, it is hard enough to deal with it, but letting another person know. That makes you question if that person should be trusted. I respected that he will tell me when he wants.
