I've left you guys waiting long enough, buckle up she's a long one ;)
Look out for the warnings xo
You stirred awake in the early hours of the morning, finding it difficult to get rid of the images of Andrew that were swimming around your head.
You debated whether to go to Flip... he said if you needed anything to just wake him. But he needed his sleep too.
You tried for another hour which only left you waking suddenly in a cold sweat. So without thinking you climbed out of the plush bed, grabbed a blanket and walked the dark hallway down towards Flip's bedroom.
Taking in a nervous breath you knocked lightly on the door instantly regretting it as the noise rang out through the quiet night.
As you waited for a response you held back a shiver, the shorts of your pyjamas doing nothing to ward off the cold.Soon enough you heard rustling noises from behind the door, and then a deep voice.
"Come in"Without thinking you rushed in and stood in the open door way, taking in the sight of a sleepy Flip with wild hair wrapped up in his sheets. For a moment you simply looked at each other, appreciating the sight of your forms in the night.
"I-I had a bad dream" you whispered, feeling so childish. You almost ran back to the guest bedroom feeling ashes of yourself... until you saw him move.
Flip pulled back the edge of the covers and made room for you, patting the empty space beside him in his massive bed which had to comfort his tall frame.
"I got you baby it's okay." He said, as he pulled you against him. Your hands immediately latched onto him, seeking comfort and warmth. You sunk into the mattress and onto his broad bare chest and let out a sigh of relief.
The action bringing you back to the night in the hotel room. The night were you got a glimpse of each others feelings and succumbed to the desire you felt for each other. Only this time you wouldn't be distracted by thoughts of Andrew, as far as you were concerned he had taken enough of your time and enough of your mind.
"I dreamt that this wasn't real, that you never came to save me... that I was back with Andrew."
"You're safe with me Birdie. You'll never have to be back with him again." You felt his plump lips press against the top of your head as you snuggled closer into him.
"Can I stay?"
"You can stay forever." His voice gruff from lack of sleep, but his words still resonated heavily in your mind. Forever.
In a way Flip had just confirmed he wanted you to be a part of his life, a part of his future... and you hoped to god that it was true.
