| Chapter Twenty-six |
| We laid for a while, still connected together. I brushed my hair out of my face, and slowly slid off of him. He smiled and without speaking, he brought the covers up over us. I reached for my clothes, but he stopped me. "Lay here with me. I want to feel your skin against mine." I smiled at the innocent tone of his voice. I turned, facing him. "Okay baby. You are amazing, you know that?" He smiled and propped himself up on his elbow. "No, it was all you. It's easy to just fuck someone, or have SEX. But, Michelle, that was the first time I've ever MADE LOVE to someone. I love you." I grinned at him. He was right, I was in love with him. 'Madly in love!' I continued grinning. "And you know what J. That is the first time someone has ever made love to me before. And, you're right about something else too." He looked at me, confused. "What?" I smiled and kissed him. "I am completely, madly in love with you." We were both stunned by my comment. 'Did I just open up?' I could feel all of my walls crumbling to the ground as I feel asleep in his arms. For once I finally felt safe. 'Now I just hope this lasts.' And that was it, we both drifted off to sleep, happily. |
