Somehow, I Found You Again

Chapter 17 - Three Words

We got to my apartment and I changed into sweats and a T-shirt. I sat down on the couch and leaned my head on Thomas's shoulder. After a while I looked up to him.

"Thomas." I said. He looked down at me.

"Yes Autumn?" He asked.

"You've done so much for me in the last few days. I want to repay you." I said.

He chuckled softly. "You've done way more for me then you could ever imagine."

"Like what?" I asked.

"You were there for me when I found Isabella and you know, you told me things I never heard that helped me a lot more then you think. You calmed me when I was drunk raging everywhere and hurt Philippe." He smiled at my fence's name I gave a small laugh. "You just in general make my heart pound a million miles a second and for just you saying yes to being my girlfriend has lifted my whole life more then it could ever be."

He leaned down and our lips collided. Everything melts away at the instance. Shivers fly through my body as he cupped my face in his hands. My hands make it up to his hair getting tangled in the beautiful softness. He pulls back to breathe but our lips connect again. We pulled back once more a smile tugged at my lips as I let my eyes open. He rested his forehead on mine.

"Can you do something for me?" I asked.

"Anything, well almost anything." He said.

"Nothing like that I promise." I said laughing a little.

"Okay, yes I can then." He said.

"Distract me, distract me from everything that happened this week. Don't let me slip into depression, I've been there and it sucks I can't go back Thomas. Please don't let me." I said, seriously.

"Trust me, I won't ever let you." He said.  

I was just about to kiss him again when my stomach growled. He laughed and pulled away. I pouted.

"Let's make something to eat." He said getting up. I pouted again and walked to the kitchen. I opened my cabinet and grabbed the package of cookies and sat back down on the couch. He rummaged through my cabinets until he came back eating a donut. I laughed and switched on the T.V. He sat next to me as we continued to eat. I rested my head on his shoulder and my eyes fluttered shut.

            "Autumn." I heard my name being called. My body was being moved slightly.

"Autumn, I have to leave please wake up." The voice came again. My eyes fluttered open and Thomas was staring at me. I yawned and sat up.

"Sorry for waking you but I need to go home before it gets too late." He said and got up. It took a few minuets to register through my head.

"Wait." I blurted. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Stay?" I asked. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes." He smiled and I smiled wider. I can't believe I just said that but you know I did. I got up and stretched. He wrapped his arms around my waist and my face was right in front of his. My arms wrapped around his neck and I kept my eyes locked on his. I pecked his lips then released him and walked to my bedroom. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around just before I reached my room and saw Thomas standing there looking like a lost little puppy.

"Where should I sleep?" He asked, blushing just slightly.

"Either on the couch or with me." I said smiling. He blushed and continued walking towards me.

            I opened my room and slipped into bed. He sat on the edge and took off his shoes and then slipped under the covers on the other side. I turned off the lamp and snuggled up in the blankets.
