If I had met you in grey

Chapter 6

Tobias POV
How do I tell her.. How do I tell her about my life? How do I tell her my pain? How do I tell her most of all that I love her.. And she doesn't even know.

I sigh, I turn so she sees my entire face. "Tobias!" She gasps and comes closer to me. "What happened?" She asks looking at my cheek. "My.. Um.. Father." I say lightly. She looks confused at first but then moves her small but beautiful hand to my bruised and discolored cheek. I wince as she brushes over it. "Oh.. Does that hurt? Sorry." She whispers. "Your father did this??" I nod. "Why?? Does he do this a lot?" She asks still looking into my eyes. "Yes. Almost every other day.." I turn away with embarrassment. She sighs and looks as if she's going to cry. I'm surprised because it should be me who's crying. "I'm.. I'm sorry!" She says shaking her head. "It's okay. I've learned to live with it." I turn back to her. Her hair is pulled back but her blond hair still shimmers in the Rays of light.

"Beatrice.." As soon as I say her name my mouth goes dry. "Yes?" She replies and I take her hands in mine. "I.." I take a deep breathe. "I like you.. Maybe I love you! All I know is that I've always liked you. And I know this could be alarming and even too forward.. But I just had to tell you." Her face shows no fear, or surprise. Instead a smile appears and her eyes lock with mine. "Your not being too forward." She says reassuring. "I.. I think I might like you too." She says and I feel a warm sensation throughout my body. My hand moves up to her face and I pull it towards me. Our lips meet. Her lips are soft and gentle, I feel that I might accidentally crush them. We stand there together, lips connecting. Her hand wrap around my neck and the when we break apart she looks to me. "Maybe I'm already sure.." I smile.
