Chapter 2 Continued Her sobs got less by the second and then she lay motionless in my arms. I found myself looking down at her. Her eyes were closed and her hair a mess. I brushed strands of her hair out of her face. She was beautiful. She opened her eyes and smiled.
‘Hey’
‘I’m sorry about this Trevor. It’s just that something happened upstairs. Something bad. To me, and I started remembering it and I couldn’t stop crying.’
‘Hey, it’s ok. You stopped now and that’s what is important. Just relax’
I lifted her up and put her on the couch. I looked around me until I found the kitchen.
Dang this house s big!I got her a glass of water for her to drink. I found myself happy to be here when she needed someone.
Trevor was getting me a glass of water. After I had stopped crying I had closed my eyes and forced myself to move on. Get over Dru and what he did; That's when I felt Trevor’s hands on my face, it felt so soft and gentle. For a basketball player he had the softest hands and I opened my eyes and looked into his staring straight into mine. I felt much better lying there in his arms. I felt safe.
He lifted me up and laid me down on the couch and went to the kitchen to get me some water. He came back with a smile on his face when he saw that I was sitting up waiting.
‘Thanks...not just for the water...but for being here and not running off. The last guy ran out the door’ I smiled remembering the guy I met in the club last week-end.
‘It’s ok...I’m glad I was here for you’
‘I wanna tell you what happened up there’
‘Hey...just lay back and relax right now...you don’t have to talk about it’
He sat down next to me and he put his left arm around me and pulled me close. Nothing ever felt so right.
What now Tel? What are you gonna do? Are you ready for this?
