We Met On The Road To Recovery

I hated seeing her cry, but I felt better at the fact that she was crying with happiness.
I heard her mumble something but couldn't catch what it was.
"I didn't say anything" she said and wiped away her tears. "Erm, I bought pizza and I'm sure it's big enough for us both" she said and pushed away from me.
She picked the pizza off the ground and ran to open the door.
She welcomed me in and we sat on her sofa together, eating silently.
We finished quickly and she rushed to tidy up.
"You tired? You must be tired" she said and I sensed almost a nervousness that she had never really shown around me. 
"Er yeah I'm quite tired" I said and she nodded.
"We can go upstairs. My parents and sister are out for the evening" she said rushing up the stairs.

I picked up my bag and followed her up the stairs.
I was confused at her sudden change of attitude. She was nervous I could tell. But why? That's what I didn't know.
"You know where the bathroom is, and you can either sleep in the spare room which is already set up or in my room, with me." She rushes out and I shrugged.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked and asked she did was scoff and shrug.
"I don't mind. Er. If you're more comfortable in the other room that's fine. There's room everywhere." She said and tucked her hands in the sleeves of her jumper. "Oh! Gosh do you want a drink? I can go and get it for you" she said and I shook my head putting my bag down at the side of her bed.
"It's not an issue I can just-"

I pulled her waist to my body and acted quickly, pushing my lips to hers, feeling almost satisfied at the sound of the gasp come from her mouth.
I flailed one of my arms to try and push the door closed.
She wrapped her arms round my neck and ran her fingers through my hair.
I smiled against her mouth and held her waist.
All of a sudden she pulled away with a shocked look on her face.
"But wait, me and you, we're not, I just-" she whined and I shook my head lightly.
"I know it's been a wild time this past month and I know it's been confusing" I sighed and took her hands in mine.
"Shall we just go to bed?" She whispered, as if she didn't want to hear what I was going to say.
I nodded as she went to the other side of her room and turned away from me as she started to undress.

I averted my eyes and shrugged off my coat, deciding just to keep on my grey joggers and white T-shirt.
"I'm finished" she said and I heard her slide into bed.
"I'll go to the spare room then" I sighed.
It's in no way shape or form how I thought this evening would go.
I left her room and went to the end of the hallway and into the spare room. I closed the door and sat on top of the fresh sheets.
I played around on my phone for about ten minutes until the light started to hurt my eyes and I put my phone down.
I wriggled down so I was facing the ceiling and closed my eyes.
But I couldn't sleep.
I had planned to ask her to be my girlfriend straight away. I just wanted her, I wanted to kiss her and feel her.

I had overall been in the room half an hour before a knock sounded on the door.
I sat up as Faith came in. I could just make her out with the help of the moonlight.
She was only dressed in a jumper and an oversized T-shirt.
She stepped into the room and closed the door.
"Are you ok?" I said, my voice being more groggy than I had hopped.
She quickly made her way over to me, crawled over the bed until she was straddling my legs.
She wasted no time in kissing me and I happily kissed back.
