The Misfit

Take it slow

A deep blush formed all over my face after he said those things. I couldn't help but cover my face to help hide the overwhelming giddy feeling I had growing in me.

"Don't hide that cute little blush I find it quite amusing" he said and let out a little chuckle.

"That was my first kiss" I said while peeking from between my fingers. He smirked and leaned down to my ear, "I'm glad I was your first kiss, and I can promise you that I have never shared such a passionate kiss with anyone else. You amaze everyday" he said while staring down at me.

I slowly removed my hands from my face and looked up at him. I think that this was the best moment of my life, I've never experienced such bliss.

"Hmm, you weren't so bad yourself" I joked. In response he shook his head with a big smile on his face. I let a little laugh slip through my lips, which caused him to chuckle. Once he sat up he held out his hand to help me up.

"So what does this mean for us?" I need to know what he is thinking, this could make or break our relationship.

"Well, it can mean anything you want it to mean. I'm not here to push you into anything. I like you, a lot, more than I have ever liked anyone. As long as you are somehow in my life I can live with what ever decision you make." Warren explained with seriousness.

My breath hitched in surprise, he had just revealed his feeling and here I am with my mouth hanging open and wide eyes. I never thought I would see this day, I thought it would only exist in my imagination.

Thinking back to recent events and what I've been through, I couldn't help but think that is the light at the end of the tunnel. This is something that I have been dreaming of for years, but here I am wondering if I'm really ready for this. My mind likes to play these cruel jokes on me and I find it miserable.

I looked up at Warren starting at me intensely, almost like he was scared I would disappear at any minute. Then I saw a hint of sadness cross his eyes, "Or if not than I get it". He said while clearing his throat.

He thinks I don't want this, but that couldn't be further than the truth. I grabbed his hand and played with his rings on his fingers and started to explain.

"I want us to be together more than anything I have ever wanted. I have liked you for years, but I'm scared about my brother's reaction. I'm scared I won't be good enough and that you will get bored with me." I said in one breath, I had to get it off my chest.

"First don't worry about Alex we will explain when the time is right. And second you are more than enough. I don't think you realize how much I adore you, I could literally sit and watch you do anything and I would be satisfied. Don't ever say that I would get bored with you or that you are not good enough because it's absurd. I couldn't ask for a better person to share my heart with." He explained with a serious and comforting tone.

I sat there and took in what he was telling me. I trust him but I don't know if I trust myself. What if I end up hurting him because I'm not ready? Hurting him is the last thing I want to do.

"I want this to work out so badly and for that to happen I think we need to take it slow. I don't know if I'm ready but I want this. Just be patient with me." I said trying to explain it the best I can.

"I would never rush you into anything because making sure you are ok is my top priority no matter where we stand." He explained while running his hands through my curly hair and slightly separating the curls.

"I like you so much little rose bud and I want to be yours." He said while placing a little kiss right behind my ear. This alone caused shivers to run down my spine.

I turned to look at him in his eyes, "and I want to be yours."

Warren leaned down and kissed my forehead, then pressed light kisses on each of my bruises that were on my eye and cheeks. Then lastly he gently placed and soft loving kiss on my lips.

It wasn't rushed or a lust filled kiss. It was driven by care, by tenderness. He was taking it slow just like I asked.

I leaned back into his touch and smiled. I feel safe in his presence. It's almost like he is my guardian angel. He is my rock, my supporter, and I will do anything not to loose him. Everything good in my life seems to slip through my fingers, but not him, I won't allow it.

I felt his fingers trace over the tattoo on my collar bone while humming a sweet tune in my ear. Sleepiness was creeping over me and my eyes became heavy. I tried to fight it, to make this moment last longer, but I couldn't.

"It's ok go to sleep. Sweet dreams my little rosebud." Warren whispered into my ear. I felt a blanket drape over us and him position us in a laying position. His lips brushed my forehead before leaving me with a lingering kiss.

I fell asleep to the thought of his warm plump lips, and his sweet words. I was ready for this née chapter in our lives and I'm ready to spend it with him.
