Unexpected Guest ⭐

Chapter 23

A few days later I was in my room cleaning up since I hadn't felt like doing much of anything. I had some music playing softly knowing I just want to be left alone. Steve had been staying in my room but we were a little distant since I spared with him and I knew it was because of me. I picked up a pair of his jeans from my floor and his compass fell out and I groaned.

"Steve... really." I said, picked it up and put it on desk. I was curious if he ever changed the picture and picked the compass back up.

"What are you doing?" I heard his voice ask from the doorway to bedroom.

"Cleaning." I said.

"This fell out of your jeans pocket." I said and tossed him the compass.

"And you were about to see if I changed the picture..." Steve trailed off and I shrugged.

"None of my business. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't right now." I said and he groaned.

"Hey, don't..." Steve said closing the door and walking over to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and I leaned my head back into his chest and sighed.

"You know I'm fine. I wanted to spar with you." Steve said and I huffed a laugh.

"Your mistake." I said and he laughed.

"Exactly." Steve said and I took a shaky breath.
"You don't see me any different right?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Nope, still my princess, warrior or not." Steve said and leaned down to kiss my neck and I moaned.

"I have a song I want to play for you." Steve whispered in my ear and I laughed.

"Not where I thought this was going with the kissing my neck." I said and he laughed.
"That comes later." Steve said and he walked over to my phone and scrolled through to find a song.

"Look at you being all technology enhanced." I said and he looked at me and shook his head.

"I'm learning." Steve said and I smiled. I heard a song start playing and Steve pulled me close to him and wrapped his arms around my waist as mine went around his neck.

🎵Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know

And when it gets hard

You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And is the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone and if you hurt me
Well that's okay baby only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home

Oh, you can fit me inside the necklace you got when you were 16
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me
Well that's okay baby only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
