The new girl

Chpt 12

After holding me for a long time he finally spoke up. "I understand how something like that could hurt you so bad. But I don't think you should blame yourself, even if it wouldn't have happened then it would've happened. It was their time, I'm so sorry my dear. I know you don't want to care or have strong emotions but I see the way you look at me. I look at you the same way. I care about you and won't let anything happen to you."

I smiled and snuggled against him as he drove home. I told him I wanted to stay at his house tonight so I wouldn't be alone. As he drove home I told him how distant me and my dad are and that he's a military Sargent. He told mf about his family.
His mom is an accountant and his dad is a lawyer. They work a lot and take trips often which is why landon usually throws parties. He said he has a younger brother and older sister. He said his brother always looked up to him.
We talked more about family and I ended up falling asleep in his arms.

We got back to his house and he carried me to his room. He laid me in bed and went into the bathroom. I assumed he was going shower so I rolled over and closed my eyes. I heard him walk out and I looked up. There he was, a tall soaking wet landon with only a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. He had a deep V line and he had a tattoo right above his V line to the right. I couldn't figure out what it was, I turned back over and hid my face.
I heard home walking toward the bed and he said "hey I'm just grabbing my pillow and a blanket to fix my bed on the floor." I didn't want him to sleep on the floor. I wanted him to lay down with me, I needed his comfort. He made me feel better. "No, lay with me at least until I fall asleep." I began to nuzzled myself into his pillow and she agreed as he climbed into bed. I was in his t-shirt and my shorts. He only had on some basketball shorts. He held me next to him and as I fell asleep I felt his lips touch the top of my forehead.

I couldn't help but think about my life with him in it. Forever.
