Chapter 53- morning after

I stirred in my sleep, my eyes fluttered open slowly as I felt a hand on my waist, slowly turning around my heart raced seeing him sleep so peacefully, the grey covers slipping off his bare chest exposing his tan yet pale skin. I shifted in my place as Arron groaned in his sleep, slowly opening his eyes, a goofy smile flashing over his face.

"Morning" he groaned in his morning voice, deeper and huskier than usual.

"Morning" I spoke stretching my body, ignoring the slight pain travelling throughout my hips, thighs and back.

"Did you sleep well?" Arron asked pulling me closer by the waist, my body covered only by his t-shirt as I nodded my head.

"Let me sleep a bit more" he spoke, his hands engulfing the small of my waist, his legs around me as he rest his head just below my shoulder.

"We have to get up now" despite how adorable he was looking and how he made my heart a frenzy within a matter of seconds, I pushed him away causing his hold to tighten even more.

"Are you sure you can get up though?" He spoke with his eyes still close causing my face to flush a noticeable color of red.

"Go away" I whined pushing him away turning to the other side so now that my back was facing him. I heard him chuckle at my reaction softly before he effortlessly pulled me towards him causing my back to crash in his bare chest

"That's not what I heard last night baby girl" my breath hitched as I felt his breath near my ear, his hand softly grazing over my chest as he bought his knee to rest between my legs.

I closed my eyes, feeling him press a soft kiss on the nape of my neck.

"Don't be embarrassed, you were amazing" he whispered turning me towards him as I looked at him with a pout.

"Really?"

"Hmm" he nodded, pressing a soft kiss on my lips.

"I'll get you something to eat, you should rest" Arron stated getting out of the bed.

Smiling to myself I tried to get out of bed as soon as Arron left to take a shower, after I was done showering I didn't bother to put my dress on and pulled Arron's shirt down my head along with a pair of black shorts.

After breakfast

"Adam is at a friend's home today" Arron slumped down on the sofa beside me, pulling my waist close to his body.

"mhm, you're acting exceptionally clingy today" I smiled looking at him

"Why can't I be?" he laughed, pushing me down the couch slowly hovering over me

"I'm not used to it" putting my arms around his neck I smiled

"Well then get used to it" with that he bought his lips to meet mine in a sweet but passionate kiss, his hands sliding down my neck exploring my curves until they rested on my waist.

"I just can't get enough of you" he whispered out of breath driving me crazy as I pulled him down, smashing my lips with his again hungrily.

I felt his hand go under his t-shirt that I was wearing resting on my breast as I moaned in his mouth.

My hands moved along his arms feeling his muscles move steadily under my touch as he trailed kisses down my neck, his fingertips grazing my bare thighs ever so lightly.

We both jumped at the sudden ringtone as I wiggled out from his hold causing Arron to groan in frustration.

"shh it's my mom" I held my phone up to my ear

"Okay, I will" sighing I hung up, moving back to sit in Arron's embrace.

"she told me to come home before ten" i sighed 

"we have a lot of time" arron comforted me by kissing the top of my head slightly

"where does your mom live" i knew i shouldn't have asked that question when i saw the smile on his face vanish immediately.

"she left the day my sister died" my heart clenched at his words

"... i haven't seen her since then" i tried ti hide my shock as i averted my gaze, he hasn't seen his mother in years?

"i'm sorry i shouldn't have-"

"no, don't be sorry" he held my hand in his.

"i don't blame her" he sighed continuing 

"she saw me lying down in the pool of blood around her dead daughter..she was terrified at the sight" he spoke, the emotion behind his voice impossible to comprehend 

"she told me she saw my father in my eyes and left me with axel still in her stomach"

"she said she wanted to start a new life away from everything...away from me" he smiled sadly looking at me.

"you're not like him" i firmly spoke wanting to end the uncertainty  in his eyes 

"maybe i am" he sighed painfully

"this is what makes you different" i stared into his eyes, bringing my hand to rest over his chest, feeling his steadily beating heart.

his gaze burned into me as he sat there speechless, staring into my very soul

"i love you" he whispered with his eyes looking at me with stars shining behind them 

"i love you more" i whispered back, leaning in to kiss his lips softly as his hands held my waist, pulling me on top of him 

"I've given my all to you iris, i was yours before i could even say no"

"don't let me go, you bring out the best in me" tears shone in the brim of my eyes hearing his words and at that moment i could surely say that bit was him my heart pumped and yearned for.

he has always been a long lost part of my soul, now that i finally have him. i feel complete

"i want to show the world that your mine" he broke the kiss looking directly in my eyes causing my heart to beat out of my chest  

"arron-"

"i know it's a mess and rushed" he smiled 

"but will you be my girlfriend even if it's only a tag and you mean so much more to me than just that"

i laughed slightly, agreeing with his words as i nodded my head yes softly.

"should i take that as a yes?" he whispered close to my lips 

"yes" i smiled, holding the nape of his neck, kissing him once again.

his lips felt so right against mine, his body molded perfectly into mine as if we were two halves destined to make a whole.
