I nod. “Yes, it’s not him.”
“Then what Mia? What happened to you? I don’t even think I’ve been away from you for a whole hour.”
I look at him and see the concern in his eyes. He really wants to know. he really does.
I decide to give him a half truth.
“I’m scared,” I whisper.
Something dark flashes in his eyes that reminds me of the darkness in him. “Who? Who made you scared?”
“No, it’s okay. I’m just… it’s everything. Everything.”
He sighs and touches his forehead to mine briefly then moves back.
“You don’t have to be scared anymore, baby. You don’t have to be. You have me.”
That’s the best thing I’ve heard in my life and I want it. I want him.
“Do I?”
He smiles in that dark, wicked way. “You’re here aren’t you? If you didn’t know you had me, you wouldn’t be here.”
His words are like a realization that dawns on my soul.
He’s right and it sends a shiver through my being.
He releases me and waves his hand toward the door.
“Come in, we’re staying in today.”
I walk into the house doing as he says like I always do. It’s so funny that all this time he’s been giving me permission to do what I want to do.
