A Little Bit Married

Beginnings

I pulled out of the dress I was wearing and took a slow bath, trying my hardest not to think of Gray. Yes. He did things that made it hard to simply act like he didn't exist, but I might have to, and it saddened me so f*****g much that I could have ruined the comfort we built.

I wasn't expecting him to be there when I finished bathing, his robe tied around me, my hair still slightly damp as I walked out. To my surprise, he was.

He was sitting up, his back resting on the bedrest, his eyes low as he slowly turned to me. His eyes didn't leave my face, but he slowly moved his hand and gently tapped on the side of the bed beside him.

I could think of a million and one excuses not to go, including the fact that he had just broken my heart, but my legs had other plans, and I found myself immediately propelled towards him.

"What do you want?" I asked, thankful that my voice was at least still on my side.

"To chill a little before dinner. Would you like that?"

I bit down on my lips before slowly getting on the bed with him. I started to lie on the side when he slowly pulled me till my head rested on his lap, and he was looking down at me.

He let his hand run down my hair, before gently pulling at my cheek. "You look even better from up here."

I sighed, closing my eyes. My heartbeat was all over the place, dancing to the rhythm of his fingers, my body hot from the proximity and all I could think of was that he was right.

I was, like a fool, beginning to have feelings for him.
