Carlos’s P.O.V
Tonight has been amazing, I have not felt a connection with someone like this in a long time. I always felt for her, my heart broke for her knowing what she has been through, no one deserves that. I hated knowing she was hurting, battling with her own demons but I had not brought it up again since she changed the subject, knowing she never wanted to talk anymore about it…instead we have gotten to know each other in other ways, spend out night laughing, flirting and stealing kisses. I am not gonna deny it I was utterly smitten with her already but I wasn’t going to tell her that, she was already fearful about us I don’t need to add to that…don’t want her to feel pressured. I am OK with us just hanging out, spending time together and kissing, that is plenty enough for me at the moment.
“You sure it is OK if I stay?” Winter asked
“Positive…the house has plenty of rooms.” I smiled
“Oh…Ok.” She said giving me a small smile
I looked at her, a little confused…she sounded disappointed when I said that, have I missed something?
“Winter if you don’t want to stay I can get you a car home?” I said
I was wondering if maybe her spending the night here was too much too quickly
“No, no it is not that…” she said nervously biting her lip
I swear I was getting more confused with each second that passed
“Then what is wrong? You can tell me Winter.” I said caressing her cheek with the pad of my thumb
“Nothing it is silly…will make me seem pathetic and weak.” She said shaking her head
“Winter no it will not, please tell me what is wrong?” I said softly
I watch her becoming nervous again, her fingers soon becoming very interesting
“I was um…sort of hoping…I could share a…you know what, never mind it honestly doesn’t matter.” She said not finishing what she was saying
I looked at her and soon realised what she was trying to say. She never wanted to sleep alone, she wanted to sleep in next to me.
“Winter do you want to sleep in with me?” I asked smiling
“Yes…only to sleep though, nothing more. I just don’t really wanna be alone tonight.” Winter said, her vulnerable side coming through, one which I have a feeling she doesn’t like showing
“Yes…of course you can Winter and that doesn’t make you pathetic or weak…we all need that comfort sometimes. And only sleep I promise.” I smiled
I meant it, I was not after anything else, she may have a feeling I am but I really am not, that is not me, that is not the kind of man that I am, believe it or not we do still exist.
“Thank You…” she smiled kissing my cheek
It was getting pretty late by now, it was maybe best that we both went to bed
“Are you tired?” I asked and she nodded “OK come on then, let’s go get some sleep.” I smiled standing up
I reached my hand to her which she took and I helped her to her feet, pulling her in close to me, wanting a quick taste of her lips again. I pressed my lips softly against hers, Winter giggling but did kiss me back. I smiled as I pulled away, I enjoyed her lips…I enjoyed kissing them. I linked my fingers with her, leading her through to the bedroom where we would be sleeping.
“Um…do you have any over-sized tees? I think I will be to warm sleeping in what I am wearing right now?” She asked
“Yes…sure can find something.” I smiled
I headed over to the drawers where I still had some clothes, finding a tee…the biggest one I had so she could cover herself…I also grabbed a pair of boxers too, handing them to her.
“Can you turn away please?” Winter said quietly
I turned away from her, giving her privacy to get herself changed, Winter telling me when it was save for me to turn back around. I couldn’t help but study her closely, I thought she looked good in my clothes she was previously wearing? What she had on now I could barely handle but I never wanted to be that guy. I cleared my throat, quickly turning away from her. I hear her chuckle when I did
“Sorry.” I said softly
“It is OK…” She smiled
I slipped my own clothes off, sleeping in a tee and boxers too, usually don’t wear the tee, sometimes I don’t wear anything but I was being a gentleman who has a lady sleeping next to him…don’t think she would appreciate me sleeping naked next to her, that could makes things uncomfortable and awkward for both of us.
Winter stood at the side of the bed, rocking a little on her heels, looking around. I chuckled, was she waiting for me to give her permission to get into the bed?
“Winter you can climb in you know…you don’t need to wait until I say it or do it.” I laughed
“Sorry…” she said blushing a little
Winter climbed into the bed, slipping under the covers and I soon joined her. It has been a while since I have had someone sleeping next to me, it would be nice and a little strange too possibly but that was OK.
“It has been a while since I have done this…shared a bed with a man to sleep.” Winter said like she was reading my thoughts
“I was thinking the same thing…well with a woman.” I said laughing at the last part
“I gathered that…” she giggled “Thank you for tonight, I have had a good night.” she added
“I am glad…I have too beautiful.” I said leaning over to kiss her
Winter whimpered into the kiss, her fingers wrapping in my hair, her lips putting more pressure against mine, enough to make me grunt. I ran my hand down her waist, resting it on her hip and she moved in closer to me…my other hand landing on her cheek. This kiss was a little more deep than the previous ones, it felt amazing…I could do this for the next hour but I know I need to pull away, it was not only my lips that was responding to the kiss…others parts of me were starting to as well. I hesitantly pulled away from her lips…both her and I’s breathing heavy…unsteady
“That was…amazing.” I said
“Yes…the best one yet.” Winter said smiling widely at me
“I was thinking the same thing.” I said matching her smile
“I think it is best we go to sleep now.” She laughed
“I think you are right…” I chuckled
I pecked her lips once more before she turned away from me and I turned the lights off, they are controlled under voice command, no need to move to do it. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, only stopped when I felt Winter tug on my arm, using it to bring me closer to her…she wanted to spoon. I smiled happily, rolling over and slipped my arm over her body, Winter placing her hand over mine
“Goodnight Carol.” She whispered
“Good night beautiful…sweet dreams.” I said spooning her
I closed my eyes over, it felt good snuggling with someone once again.
