The Girl With The Candy Floss Hair

Last Morning

Anthony pulls her up and into his lap, wrapping his arms around her. He doesn't know if he has an answer for Teri's question or even if she is looking for a one. He rubs circles in her back as she snuggles against his chest, she sniffs and he is pretty sure she's crying, "Teri, baby" His voice catches in his throat. "Don't cry. I got you." He kisses the top of her head and then her temple, his lips resting there as he speaks. "I've been trying to figure that out since the first night I had you in my arms." He runs his fingers along her hair line; tucking stray hairs behind her ear. He kisses her forehead then tilts her head back so he can brush small kisses over her cheeks and lips, kissing away her tears. "Its ok baby. We will figure this out. Now let me love on you. You were such a good girl for me." He tucks a blanket around them and holds her close, handing her the water bottle again. "Drink" When she finishes the bottle, she takes a deep breath and her eyes finally meet his. "Did you see that picture of us that Evan sent. Did you really look Teri? She finally starts to smile as Anthony starts to rave. "Where's my phone I'll pull it up again. I am looking at you like the world revolves around you, like you hung the moon and stars. You are already so precious to me." He runs a thumb over her cheek. "I can come visit, you can come visit, there is skype and discord and other video options, and text and email and even good old snail mail. My life will be better with you in it." He leans in and kisses her gently, his lips brushing over hers before slipping his tongue along the seem of her lips waiting for her to give him entry. The kiss is slow and sensual and he never wants it to end. He was utterly in love. Even with just these few days, he could tell this was something he wanted to last forever in.

Teri loves being wrapped in Anthony's arms, she can't imagine feeling this safe or warm anywhere else. What they had done was intense. The way he had touched her was so intense and powerful and now he was treating her like a princess. She has finally asked the question that had been digging into the back of her mind since the first night. Anthony is being so sweet and gentle; she snuggles into his chest and can't help but to start to cry. She isn't used to this, to being cared for after, to being held like this. The sound of Anthony's gentle voice catching a bit in his throat as he speaks "Teri, baby. Don't cry. I got you." His lips brush the top of her head and her temple and she feels so complete. His breath tickles as he speaks "I've been trying to figure that out since the first night I had you in my arms." He does this thing where he runs his fingers through her hair, and tucks it behind her ear and then her kisses her forehead and she doesn't know if her heart can take it. He drops little soft kisses to her forehead, checks, and lips. She feels happy through her tears, but she still can't look at Anthony. "Its ok baby. We will figure this out. Now let me love on you. You were such a good girl for me." Tucking a blanket around both of them he hands her the water bottle again, and she realizes just how dehydrated she feels. "Drink." She finishes the water and finally looks up her eyes meet his and she is blown away by the look of love he gives her. "Did you see that picture of us that Evan sent. Did you really look Teri? She can't help but smile, as his voice is so full of excitement. "Where's my phone. I'll pull it up again. I am looking at you like the world revolves around you, like you hung the moon and stars. You are already so precious to me." Anthony rests his hand on her face and rubs his thumb over her cheek, she leans into his touch. She doesn't know how this is going to work "I can come visit. You can come visit. There's skype and discord and other video options. Text and email and even good old snail mail. My life will be better with you in it." He leans in to kiss her and Teri meets him in the middle. The kiss is gentle and when his tongue slips over her bottom lip seeking entry, she lets him in. The kiss is slow and gentle and she loves every moment. She hopes he can feel just how much he means to her.

Anthony tucks Teri under the blanket, tosses on some boxers and finds her phone for her. He tells her to just sit and relax, as he closes the curtains, and cleans and organizes things. Teri scrolls through her social media, laughing at a couple posts and sharing them with Anthony. He grabs his phone and climbs into bed behind her. They laugh and joke over meme's and posts, spending quality time just enjoying each other company. He checks his itinerary to double check when he needs to be at the airport. He reaches over and plugs his phone in and then snuggles up against her back. He gently removes the braid he had put in her hair. Running his fingers through her hair, he leans in close and places a kiss on her shoulder. Teri sighs and leans back against his chest and he slips an arm around her and cups her breast holding her against him. She smiles and looks over her shoulder at him "This is going to be really hard" She pouts. He gently kisses her. "It will be but I am willing to work with this if you are" Anthony slips a hand over her shoulder and pulls her chin towards him as he deepens the kiss. His tongue gently nudging into her mouth and tasting her, he doesn't ever want to forget this. They break the kiss and Teri drops her phone and curls against his chest. She lays there awake for awhile, listening as Anthony breathing and heart beat slowed. She looks up at the relaxed look on his face, memorizing this moment. Deep inside she thinks once he leaves that will be it, but a small voice keeps reminding her he said he feels the same way she does. She tells the bad thoughts to shut up; turns to kiss his chest and wraps her arms around him. Anthony's arms tighten and a smile stretches across his sleeping face.
