The Runaway

Chapter 38

Avery's POV
I sat up and ran for the bathroom just in time to empty my stomach, hands were pulling my hair back as I puked. When I was done I washed my mouth out and turned to give my mate and fiancé a wary smile. "You scared me" he admitted and I kissed his cheek and and walked back into the room.

I silently at in the middle of the bed cross cross and he sat in front of me, we just stared into each other's eyes. No speaking. Our eyes saying what we didn't. It had only been a week without him, and it doesn't him like he is here. Like my mind is playing a cruel sick joke on me, and if I make a wrong move.

He'll disappear.

I bit my lip and dropped my gaze, I wanted to believe that he wasn't here and I was dreaming. That he was back home, and I was here wallowing in sadness. Suddenly I was pinned beneath him, his hand cupping my cheek "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere" he cooed in my ear and kissed my tears.

"It's not a dream, it's all real" he promised and kissed my lips. "See this is real, I'm real" he ran his thumb across my cheek as he whispered sweet nothings in my ear. I laid there allowing him to comfort me.

"I love you" I whispered to him "I love you too" he murmured in my ear nipping at my mark. "God I love you so much" he whispered and his lips claimed mine. The kiss was slow, and sweet,full of raw emotion and love.

A simple kiss took my breath away. My eyes were closed when his lips left mine, "open your eyes baby" he whispered in my ear pleadingly, "I need to see your those pretty brown eyes" he murmured.

I slowly opened my eyes, I was staring back into bright green orbs, "there they are" he whispered and placed a tender kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes again in bliss, a small sigh in content leaving my lips as I did.

I love it when he kisses me, I felt special. "Avery, babe I love you" he said, those words never failed to make my heart flutter. "I love you too" I told him honestly my eyes still closed savoring the moment, wishing it to last longer. He still had me pinned beneath him, both of us barely dressed but what mattered was right now.

"There is something I wanna do" he gulped and climbed off me. I suddenly left cold, and alone. He sat me on the foot of the bed him on one knee in front of me, holding both of my hands.

"Avery" he spoke after a moment of silence, his voice thick. "I have loved you since the moment I first laid my eyes on you. God you looked so beautiful in your dress, I wanted you. I took you to my room and the first words you ever spoke were 'mark me' " his croaked out his eyes brimming with tears.

"After that moment, I knew I had fallen deeply and madly in love with you. As the days went on I fell harder and harder for you. I watched you, even when you slept. I know your favorite color is green, the color of my eyes. You put other people before you, and you loving seeing people smile." he croaked again, this time his tears spilling over.

"I know how much you love my dimples, and you love my mom. You are scared of being left alone, and hurt again. You got your ink and metal to show how strong you were even through hard times. I know you cared for your 'family' even when they hurt you. I know you love Keller and Alex more hen life." he choked out.

"You strive to be the best Luna, mate, friend, daughter. You can make someone like you by smiling, your smile can light the room up. I know you love it when I nuzzle my nose on your mark and whisper how much I love you and your mine in your ear. You love the little things I do for you" he smiled through his tears.

"You love it when we cuddle in bed, when I come home late from work and I hold you to my chest when you have fallen asleep without me. When I frown you always make me smile or laugh, you pick me up when I'm down. I know you love it when I take you on dates and I cook food. You love it when I talk about my day and exciting things" he croaked out again with tears.
