Never let you go

Chapter 53

Hunter:

Grey and I are lying on the couch together and I play with locks of her hair as she sleeps soundly in my arms. She's so beautiful. I could look at her all day everyday and never get used to how beautiful she is. I love her so damn much. I know I should tell her. I know I'm a coward for not saying it already especially since I know better than anyone that we aren't promised forever, but I want to make the moment special for her. I want her to remember it every day for the rest of her life.

After a while I gently pick her up and carry her to bed. She's spent. I know she has to be tired. I can tell she hasn't slept much this past week while we've been apart and I feel horrible as I imagine her having nightmares because of me. Never again will I do that to her. As long as she loves me and wants me here than I'm never going anywhere. I'll never let her go again.

Before lying next to her on the bed I look at her once again admiring her beauty but also looking at her tattoo and her scar. She still has no shirt on since she never bothered with putting one back on earlier. Not that I was complaining. I was more than enjoying the view. I still desperately want to know where she got that scar from though. I felt like I did know somewhere in the depths of my mind, but I just can't seem to reach the memory. It is extremely frustrating.

I slowly and very carefully lower myself down onto the bed next to her and lean down and kiss her scar wishing I could heal the pain of all her wounds. I know I will never let anything hurt her ever again. Not if I can help it. I vow here and now to protect her and keep her safe and happy every day for the rest of my life. I love her so much. I never thought I would feel this way again, but I'm so happy I do. I'm so lucky to have her. I'm so lucky she loves me. I just really hope she can still stand to be around me once I tell her the truth. I don't know what I'll do if I lose her. I'm not sure I'll survive it if she walks away.

I watch her sleep for a while longer enjoying how peaceful and angelic she looks before I wrap her up in my arms and allow sleep to take me. The whole time praying that I never have to let her go.
