I <3 You 4Real

Chapter 16 - Confessions

The morning after, Conner was the first to wake up.

He felt really dizzy, and squinted his eyes, as the bright sunlight shone through the window.

They really had a lot of wine, last night.

He grinned, as he looked down at y/n, still asleep beside him. She had rested her head on his chest, and her arm was wrapped around his waist.

She looked so beautiful...

He gently put his hand on her shoulder again, gently rubbing it, as she finally opened her eyes.

"Hey" he smiled.

"Hey" she said softly, looking up at him.

Her voice was still husky and low, which made it 10 times cuter.

"Ugh, my head hurts..." she complained, rubbing her temples, as she slowly sat up "...I think we had a little too much alcohol, yesterday..." she giggled.

"Well, I really don't regret it" he said softly, getting closer and wrapping his arm around her, as he sat up too, and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Yeah... me too" she smirked, pecking his cheek.

Conner smiled, and gently lifted her hair, revealing her neck. He rubbed his nose against it, and started softly kissing it, making her giggle.

"Conn..."

"Shhh..." he whispered "...Please, let me have you..."

He tightened the grip around her waist, making her moan a little, and started suching her skin, adding marks to the ones from the night before.

With his other hand, he caressed her arm, making her feel shivers run down her whole body as he drew small circles on it with his thumb.

Y/n wanted to say something, but then thought about it for a second, and realized that she actually didn't.

She had nothing to do, she had nowhere to be, and she really wanted to stay with him, so...

Especially if what she assumed was going to happen was correct.

Conner gently pulled her back down, making her lie down beside him, and got on top of her.

Y/n giggled, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She put a hand on his chin, lifting it up, and rested her lips on his, softly kissing him.

He smirked a little, and put a hand on her hip, gently squeezing it. She moaned, smiling, as he found his way inside her mouth, exploring her palate with his tongue.

Their breaths started getting a lot faster, as they kissed, and their bodies brushed against each other, pleasuring the both of them.

Suddently, he pulled away.

"Wait, I..." he panted, breathless "...I can't..."

He sat back down, sighing.

Y/n, confused and worried, did too, getting closer to him.

"Conn, what's wrong?"

"...I-I'm sorry, it's just that... ugh, I'm so sorry..."

"Hey, don't apologize" she said softly, lifting his chin up to make him look at her "...There's something bothering you, I can tell..."

"I'm ok, don't worry..." he said sadly, unsuccessfully trying to reassure her.

"No, you're clearly not!... Please, let me help you..." she said, concearned.

He stared into her beautiful y/e/c eyes, smiling. "What did I do to deserve you?"

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm glad you did it" she softly smiled back, taking his hand in hers "...Wanna talk about what's on your mind?"

He looked down again, nodding.

It hurt her seeing him like that.
They had been dating for just a couple days, but she already felt connected to him, close to him.

He was important to her, and she would have given anything to see him smile, to make him feel happy again.

"I... I'm scared, y/n" he admitted "...I'm scared I won't be enough, I'm scared you'll leave me... I'm scared I'll get hurt again..."

He looked up at her, as some tears silently fell down his cheeks.

"...And I don't want to think that! 'Cause I really like you, y/n, I knew it since I first saw you in that bar... but I can't  help it, I am..."

He took a deep breath, trying to contain the tears.

"...I-I had this girlfriend, a year ago... Ashley..."

As he said her name, a glimpse of pain and hatred crossed his face, quickly disappearing a second later.

"...I really liked her, and we were almost going to get married... but I fucked it up, I made a single mistake... a-and she left me... she said she never loved me, and... and I'm scared you won't too..."

"Conn..."

"Please, let me finish" he quickly added, before she could say anything else, looking away again.

Y/n nodded.
She was so comprehensive and caring... He was really grateful to have her on his side.

"...It really hurt me... She really hurt me... and I don't wanna feel that way anymore, not with you..."

He sighed.

"I really like you y/n... and I need to know if you feel the same way..." he said, staring back into her eyes.

Y/n smiled, getting even closer to him.

"Conner, I do..." she whispered, drying off a tear from his cheek with her thumb "...Trust me, I mean it..."

He softly smiled, squeezing her hand.
"Really?"

"Yeah! I usually never go this fast in relationships, and if I do, is because you're special to me, Conn... it's true, you can ask Sarah!"

Conner chuckled, as the last tears fell down.

"...Thank you, y/n..." he said, lovingly looking at her.

"...Don't doubt it, not even for a second, ok?... I really like you, and I don't want you to feel like that..."

"I'll try my best, I promise" he grinned.

Y/n smiled, and put her hands on his cheeks, pulling him towards her and kissing him.

"It's going to be ok" she reassured him, as they pulled away "I'm here"
