How can someone hurt an angel like this? She is looking at me with so much trust and I’m in awe that she has given it to me.
Her eyes widen when she notices that she is lying on me. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay sleeping with me here, holding you.” I hesitate stating the last part in case she isn’t comfortable with It.
She studies me for a minute before slowly smiling. “I would love if you held me, Isaac. You make me feel safe.”
I can hear the sincerity in her voice. I feel like I’m fucking floating with the trust she has in me.
I shift us until we are both lying on the pillow. She moves closer and snuggles into my chest. I settle my hand on the back of her neck, not touching her back where she’s hurt.
“Goodnight,” I whisper to her, staring at the ceiling and I smile. Through all of this shit, this right here is the fucking best.
Chapter
Four
EMILY
THE NEXT DAY
Islept all day and night. I was exhausted. It was the best sleep I have ever had even before all of this happened.
I woke up to see Isaac still beside me in the bed.
It’s eight o’clock in the morning and I’m wide awake. I yawn and Isaac looks over at me, smiling.
“Good morning.” He reaches over and pushes a hair out of my face. I reach up and I feel my hair sticking up on the top of my head.
I burst out laughing. “God, I was so out of it.” I rub my face and sit up, letting out a hiss from the pain in my back.
“Fuck, I should have woke you up for your pain meds.” Isaac hisses and slides out of bed walking to the bathroom where my medicine is.
My back is screaming at me and Itry hold back my tears from the excruciating pain. He hands me my bottle of pills and I take one of them, downing it with water.
“I’m okay Isaac,” I tell him. He sighs, setting the water down beside me.
“Once your pain has settled, I need to clean your back, if that’s okay?” he asks me and I nod. “That is fine. Thank you for taking such good care of me Isaac. It means so much to me,” I tell him, emotional about him holding me all night long.
God, I didn’t know how much I needed that.
“I didn’t have any nightmares,” I think out loud and smile.
Isaac’s face settles and softens at my admission. “That makes me so fucking happy.” He touches my cheek. I lean into his hand without thinking about how intimate that is.
“What do you want for breakfast?” he asks me.
“French toast?”
“Done. You sit back and relax. I will bring it to you,” he tells me and I do as he asks. I open the kindle that he bought me.
I am dying to read some new books and relax. I log in and add the gift card to my kindle so I can buy new books.
My nose is burning from unshed tears again because this is beyond the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
I download a book I have been dying to read. However, I feel bad that he is cooking breakfast without me.
I slide out of bed slowly, trying not to hurt my back anymore. The pain medicine is starting to kick in.
The closer I get to the kitchen, the smell of bacon hits me and my stomach instantly growls. He turns to look at me when he hears my bare feet on the floor.
