glass of water and the medicine.
I gulped it down and he put the glass on the nightstand and crawled back under the covers with me. He grabbed me and pulled me close. I wrapped my body around him and curled up to drift back to sleep.
“I don’t want to freak you out, but can I ask you something?”
Panicked, I put my hand over his mouth and said, “No.”
What the hell is he going to ask me? I don’t know if I wanted to hear it.
My eyes were glued on him and my hand remained over his mouth. I remained frozen for a moment until he began to laugh against my palm. I spread my fingers just enough to allow sound to pass through.
“Will you be my girlfriend, Sophia?”
Is this a joke? My mind went blank… words escaped me.
“Your words captured my heart, and I fell for you before I ever touched you. I didn’t want to open my heart to anyone, but you, you seeped into my veins bringing new meaning to my life. Being with you in person only made my feelings deeper for you, sealing my fate,” he said. “I want you to be mine… I will not share you with anyone.”
“Yes, Kayden,” I said. His words stole my breath and warmed my body.
Contentment overcame me, and I drifted back to sleep tucked into his arms. I woke to the sound of rain thumping against the window panes. Kayden was sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing his eyes.
“I’ll be right back,” Kayden said to me as he picked his shorts off the floor.
“I’m not going anywhere,” I said to him as I sprawled out on his bed.
I heard the water turn on in the bathroom. I waited for him to return. I was too tired to do anything anyway. I heard noises coming from the kitchen as he moved around the apartment.
“Come on, baby doll. I ran a bath for us,” he said to me as he pulled back the covers to reveal my flesh, his hands outstretched towards me.
I grabbed his hands and let him pull me out of bed. I followed behind him as he guided us to the bathroom. When I entered the bathroom, he had not only made a bubble bath, but had candles flickering everywhere. It was romantic; no one had ever done anything like this for me before. I stopped in the doorway.
“What’s wrong?” Kayden asked.
“You did this for me?” I asked, still in shock.
“Yes, for us. You don’t like it?” he asked concerned.
“Oh, I love it. No one has ever made a bath for me. It’s sweet,” I told him. I could feel my eyes filling with water.
“Well, get used to it. I want to take care of you. You deserve this, Sophia,” he said to me as he pulled me towards the bathtub.
He stepped into the bathtub first and I followed behind him. He sat down and helped me situate myself to be comfortable. I leaned against his body and felt totally and utterly happy.
“I know you don’t feel well today, so no sex. This isn’t just about sex for me,” he said to me.
“No?”
“Well, not now at least. I just want to lay here and enjoy being with you. Just relax.” He ran his fingertips up and down my arms.
I relished in and craved his touch. I leaned back, rested my head upon his shoulder, and closed my eyes.
“I needed this. It’s so relaxing,” I said to him in a hushed tone.
“I am going to pamper you today and always, Sophia,” he whispered next to my ear.
I mumbled, I was so relaxed I could barely speak. He continued to touch my skin softly and trickle water all over my body.
“I haven’t been this happy in forever,” Kayden said to me.
“You make me feel special—different—Kayden.”
“You are. I’ve never known anyone like you. You make me look forward to each day and I want you to feel the same,” he said to me.
“I thought you didn’t want another relationship?”
“I thought I was through with love, but that was before I met you. I can’t imagine you not being in my life. I want you to be only mine,” he told me while stroking my cheek.
“I’m glad I could open your heart again,” I said to him as I stroked his legs.
