She opens her mouth but hesitates for a moment. "I like how you make me feel safe with you." I don't expect that coming out of her mouth and I actually stop my ministrations to look at her. "Safe?" She nods. "Yes, safe. I think I understand that you'd never purposely hurt me." I let my eyes roam her face, admiring her features closely. "Never. Not in this lifetime. Not in any lifetime." Her hand touches my cheek and she nods just barely. "You don't make me feel like I have to watch my back." I smile softly and lean into her touch. "Good, because I'm not going anywhere." Her smile fades. "Don't say that if you don't mean it." My fingers play with her hair. "I do mean it. Lavender, I will be by your side for as long as you will let me. And even if you don't, I will still be there from afar, waiting for when you do." *** ~ To everyone who feels like they're not deserving of love. started november 10th, 2022 ended ??? *** RANKINGS: 9/21/24 • #2 IN FRENEMIES 3/27/25 • #3 IN LAVENDER 7/07/26 • #2 IN TEENROMANCE
