Saved by a Killer (Ticci Toby romance)

Part 18

I woke up to Toby sleeping silently. I tried to get out of bed quickly and silently as possible. But Toby immediately woke up. He pulled the back of my body, holding me by my waist. I was pretty much on top of him, but I wasn't.

"Morning kitty Kat." He said in a tired voice. Oh my god! That was really hot!

"Morning sleepyhead." I kiss his cheek. He smiles sleepily. I giggle to myself then he tightens his grip on me. Then it all came back to me! What Toby said to me last night. When he said he...loved me. I was surprised by that. But I know what I was feeling towards him. I do love him. That scares me though, how I feel, but how bad this could turn out.

I don't have the strength to push him away though. I just can't do that.

"How did you sleep?" He asked.

"Great! I didn't realize how tired I was until my eyes closed." I rambled a little. I became a little nervous.

"Yeah, me too." He kissed my temple. I smiled warmly to myself. Oh god! I must look like shit! I get up from his embrace. He looks confused and I take off into the bathroom. I splash cold water on my face. Then I brush my teeth really fast. I run my fingers through my hair.

I walk out of the Bathroom. Toby still looks confused. "You okay?" He asks. I nod. I just didn't want you to see how shitty I look. My conscious says. I decide to get back in bed with him. His arms are the only thing that makes me feel safe and secure. He holds me protectively like always.

"Kat...umm...about yesterday." He hesitates his words. I look at him. He looks really uneasy. I'm guessing he isn't used to explaining his feelings.

"Oh yeah." I say quietly. I'm so nervous.

"I...I meant every word." I looked up at him in surprise. He's looking down and he's rubbing his neck in a nervous sort of habit.

"You did?" I ask. He looks up at me. His cheeks are burning bright pink. I resist the urge to laugh. Its just so adorable.

"Of course Kat. Your...your so important to me." He cups my cheek. I couldn't help but shed a tear. I'm so happy now. "Why are you crying?" He wipes my tears away.

"I'm just- I'm happy." I smile. He returns my smile. I lean in and wrap my arms around him then gently press my lips against his. He holds me in a tight embrace, then kisses me back deeply. Before I know it Toby is almost on top of me. He pulls away slightly then leans into me again. He presses his lips lightly against my neck. My heart beats faster and faster every second.

I pull away from him. I want more, but too scared to do anything else. He sits up with me. Then he takes both of my hands.

"Kat I wanna hear you say it." He says in a serious tone.

"Uhh say it?" I ask even though I know what he means. I remember telling him when I was half asleep. Then again I was half asleep.

"You know what I mean Kat. I wanna hear you say it. If you truly feel the same way." He blushes again.

I hesitate. "I love you." I blush then cover my face with my palms. I'm so embarrassed now. Thanks a lot Toby! (Sarcasm). He takes my wrist and removes them from my hands. He laughs.

"Don't be shy about it." He keeps laughing. I shake my head.

"How can I not." I laugh. He brushes my hair away from my face. Then kisses me again. I caress his neck lightly.

"I love you." He laughs. I smile then hug him tightly. We fall into the bed. Then we began to just lay there in each others arms.

"Kat?" I hear him speak.

"Hmm?"

"I've never loved anyone besides my mom or sister." He sighs.

"Yeah me too." I say.

"I'll let no one ever hurt you Kat. I promise." He strokes my hair lightly.

"Okay." I sigh and rest my head on his chest. I could probably stay like this forever.

Later me and Toby decide to go out and do something instead of staying inside all day. Toby puts normal clothes on. I love that because I feel like we're a normal couple. I change into casual clothes too. I'm not in the mood to look fancy whatsoever.

"Ready?" He asks. While putting his shirt on. I nod and smile brightly. He takes my hand and we walk through the forest. Its still creepy as hell.

"Toby, why did you pick the creepiest place to live in?" I ask. He shrugs.

"Since its creepy, and no one dares to come though this forest. I might as well randomly place a house here." He laughs, and I join him. He squeezes my hand.

"Hehe, that's good thinking."

"I know."

We finally make it down town. Its great that no one knows who he is. Or we'd be in jail! We go into different kind of stores. I realize I haven't been this happy in so long. I really do love Toby. I smile to myself as I think to myself.

"What store have we not gone into?" I ask.

"The candy store." He says with enthusiasm in his voice. I laugh.

"Okay, but don't steal anything." I say quietly.

"No promises." He smirks mischievously. I roll my eyes and go into the store. Their was a wide variation of candies. Their was everything to dark chocolate, to sour gummy worms. Before I knew it Toby had a bag full of candy in his hands.

"Stolen or bought?" I raise my eyebrow.

"You don't wanna know." He laughs.

Later we get tired of town then head back to his house. We wander through the forest. It is so creepy out here. I heard rustling in the trees and heard sticks snapping in half. I stopped and so did Toby. He stood closely to me. He had his hand in his pocket. What was that? Then the mysterious figure stood outside the bushes.

"Hell Toby." The mysterious person snarls at him. I couldn't see his face until he came closer to us. Then I was shocked.
