Heyo people look who's back with another update. 🙂

Qotd: Give me your hand save me, save me. I need your love before I fall, fall.
▪▪▪▪▪▪

The smell of fresh lemons and ocean breeze invaded my nostrils as I woke up and made a mental note to myself to ask Z to use this shampoo more often. I felt a presence besides me. I smiled at the thought of it being Z. I turned around and my smile turned wider as I noticed a feminine figure with deep oceanic locks, her hand draped over my waist.

I couldn't remember how we ended up here or how we fell asleep but I do remember the events of last night.

"I really think that I've started to like you."

"Like me?"

"Like you as in strongly attracted to you in an intimate way." She clarified.

"Are you sure though? You don't pity me just because I tried to commit suicide or I'm a depressed piece of sh-"

"I love you." She looked me dead in the eyes. Her eyes were sincere. Damn me for having a thing for sincerely caring girls.

In that moment, I felt like we were meant to be, like we had a forever together.

Currently, I'm focusing on a few facts. 1, Dahlia is right beside me asleep and I love her to the depths of the black hole, the one I was falling in. Turns out I was falling in love as I find myself reaching the end to that black hole.

2, sleeping next to Dahlia means no nightmares, she is my knight in black gothic clothes with blue hair. 3, I am no longer the depressed piece of shit I was.

Dahlia moved closer, close enough that her hair tickled my nose. I sniffed in her scent. I could feel her tense underneath me; did she hear me sniff her hair?

Great going Tobias, now the girl you're in love with probably thinks that you're a creep and weird. And by weird, I mean not just weird, very fucking strange on different levels.

"Did you just sniff my hair?" Her voice was velvety despite her just woke state.

By now, I decide to stick with the truth, because that's how I am with her. I don't care. Maybe loving someone makes you love a part of yourself too. That's the reason I'm so care free also, I know that she loves me for sure now.

"What if I said yes?"

"Well if you did, do they stink?" She raised an eyebrow making her look absolutely adorable.

She really was the cause of my euphoria. I intertwined our hands together and brought her hand close to my lips. Even though my lips touched her hand, I couldn't feel it.

"It smells like lemons and oceanic breeze. Calming and refreshing. Sour, giving the essence of life." I defined.

"Are you always this poetic or is today a special occasion?" She smiled the smile I fell for.

"Let's just say that today is actually a special occasion." I grinned.

I looked down at her lips while biting my own. I leaned in an inch. She leaned in an inch. We inched closer until only few centimeters separated us.

"You still sure about the liking me part though. Right?" I whispered, afraid of hearing her answer.

She rested her forehead on mine and looked straight in my eyes.

"I'm not sure if I like you." Ouch. That broke my heart. I moved my forehead from hers but she wrapped her arms around my neck, not allowing me to move away from her.

Our bodies were pressed against each other, just some layers of clothes separating us. I looked away from her eyes which held the depth of black holes.

"But I surely and definitely know that I love you." I glanced at her eyes. I feel a sense of Deja vu, but instead of seeing the past, I see the future. I see a future with the exact same orbs made of amber and onyx.

Just as our lips were about to touch, a loud ringtone blasted through my room startling us in the process, making us both jump away from each other.

I looked around to realize that my phone was in my pocket. I took it out and the checked the caller ID. Sighing deeply, I answered the call.

"Tobias, are you ready to go to Dr. McBeth?" Franny asked from the other side.

"Franny, I don't think that I would be needing that anymore." I spoke looking at Dahlia with soft eyes.

"B-but Tob-" I cancelled the call knowing that she will be pissed off.

"You should probably go." She smiled.

"I don't have to anymore."

"You have to, one compulsory session. Did you forget?" She wrapped her arms around my neck once again. Her fingers sliding through my tousled hair.

"But I don't want to. I want to stay with you." I pouted like a five-year-old.

"What are you? Five?" She laughed.

"Nope, I'm Four." I exclaimed earning a soft chuckle from her.

I tucked a blue strand of hair behind her ear and we stayed like that, a comfortable silence engulfing us as we both got lost in each other's eyes.

I swear to God that I have a soft spot for doe eyes. They show sincerity and vulnerability.

Being here with Dahlia makes me realize that I didn't die all those times I tried to for a reason, and my reason is Dahlia. With her, I am in Utopia.

She was the one and only that was shining brightly. I was fascinated by the bright light of her beauty.

The way her eyes crinkle when she smiles, the way she changes hair colors like the bright petals of a dahlia flower. Her velvety voice that is music to my ears. Her nose piercing, her gothic clothes.

The way her hands fit into mine. The way her hair smell and the way they refresh me. The way she makes me feel loved and wanted.

The way I have fallen for her. Everything. And everything.

She really is the cause of my euphoria. I can do anything if she's with me with her hand in mine.

With her, there is a forever. We are meant to be.
