As we lay in bed tangled in one another, Hayden takes a moment to lightly trace patterns on my skin. Her fingers leaving trails of goosebumps in their wake. She seems calmer than she used to.
"Hayden?" I speak up quietly, getting her attention.
"Yes baby?"
I take her hand into mine and lace our fingers together. "You seem, happier." I note carefully and she lets out a small chuckle.
"I would say that it's the anti-depressants my doctor has me on... but I'd be lying. I am happy, because my son doesn't hate me at the moment, and I have you, and before I left last night, I'm pretty sure my dad said something about retirement and moving back to the area." she says as her thumb grazes over my knuckles.
"That's good news angel." I give her a small smile and kiss her cheek.
She blushes at my touch, but brushes it off. She grabs her phone checking the time. "It's 6:39, wanna go pick up breakfast and take it back to my place and have breakfast with the boys?"
Knowing I'd say yes to any excuse to spend time with Blake, she gets up and shrugs on her shirt and tugs her pants up her legs. I watch and simultaneously drool as they graze over her ass cheeks. More specifically the spot on her ass cheek where I left a purple bruise the night before.
As I was reminiscing, I hadn't realized I had zoned out until I felt her press her lips to mine. "You coming baby?" she asks me giving me the biggest smile I've ever seen grace her features. This woman makes my heart beat faster and slower and the same time. She excites and calms me with just the look she gives me.
The drive to pick up breakfast and take it back to her place was fairly quiet. Which isn't like me, but I can't help that I'm so infatuated with the woman before me.
"You okay baby?" Hayden asks me with her hand on my thigh.
I place my hand over hers and smile. "I'm perfect."
As we head through the front door, Blake runs and jumps into Hayden's arms, a sight that I'll never get tired of. I don't know what the future holds, but I know as long as she's by my side we can get through anything.
She's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I can't imagine my life without her, she's always been the one for me. She saved me from myself back then, and honestly, she saves me now.
a/n: I hadn't planned on this coming to an end so soon. It wasn't because I had run out of ideas, but more so their story had come to a natural end. I enjoyed writing for all of you and I hope that you've enjoyed the journey as much as I have.
Please, if you have any questions, let me know. I'll try and answer all of them!
I love you bubbies. 💕
