Jailbird

~Part 2: Chapter 43~

Zedlin

She was just so beautiful... fúck, when had I become this obsessed? Sienna didn't even realize for real just how much I loved her and wasn't that just my luck?

My eyes roamed from the top of her head, down to her legs that were sprawled tiredly on the rest of the couch we were currently occupying.

I was deep in love with this woman, I could barely keep my eyes or hands off of her whenever she was in my presence. After receiving that gracious head game from her, I didn't need any other reason to ask her to marry me — it was just a matter of time.

She was it for me and there'd never be anything better fitting for the person that I was now.

Placing my hands gently on Sienna's head, I smoothed my palms down her bouncy curls, along her back and rested them on her ass. After glancing at the TV, I saw that it was just past midnight and I knew that she needed to get up and get back to the apartment, so that she could get enough rest for work.

"Sienna, you gotta get going baby," I whispered in her ear, gently shaking her ass in my hand. Her head rested comfortably in my lap and she let out a huge yawn before her eyelids started to flutter open.

"Mm, what time is it?" She whispered back to me.

"Almost thirty minutes after midnight. I don't want you driving sleepy, but you don't have work clothes here, so you've gotta go."

Sienna let out a tired sigh and then sat up, stretching her arms high over her head. She yawned through her fingers, "I don't sleep good without you and Nate there."

Well, wasn't that exciting and fúcked up?

My brows furrowed tightly over my eyes, "Why? We're safe here. I'm installing the security cameras this weekend—"

"It's not a safety concern for here, it's a longing to have you two near me. Zedlin... I think we should reconsider our arrangement," she said softly.

Now we were talking, but I couldn't give in too easily. She had made it slightly difficult to even get to this point. I had to have a little fun...

"Sienna, I feel like you were right. I don't want to cloud your mind and jumble everything up in there that you've worked on while I've been away. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder and we're living proof of it. We can do this, baby," I smiled and held her hands in mine.

I watched her facial features droop into a frown, "Zedlin, I'm literally admitting defeat here. I can't stand that you two are here without me. I miss you in my bed holding me and I miss my baby boy. I didn't think it'd be this hard! I'm sorry, can you just come back to the apartment with me tonight?"

"Babe, are you serious right now?" I asked, trying not to laugh at her.

"I'm dead serious, Zedlin. I don't know what point I was trying to prove. You've been gone nearly four years, that was all the time we needed a part. Please, don't make me beg you," she surprised me and leaned forward, tilting her head and pressing those soft lips against mine without warning.

She kissed me so gently, I wasn't even sure if I was suppose to kiss her back. She pulled back just a bit and brushed her lips against mine like a light feather barely touching me, back and forth, until I finally gave in to the tease.
