It Just Happened

David’s P.O.V.

Waking up to the intensity of sunlight hitting my face and the chirping of melodic birds drifting in, I felt exhausted. I slowly opened my hazy eyes and rubbed them to be steady, only to find Helena sleeping soundly beside me. I thought it was all just a dream, but it was certainly a reality.

I couldn’t help but smile while gently caressing her hair. She was undoubtedly beautiful, most especially when she does not have her glasses. But speaking of her eyeglasses, I didn’t see her wearing those last night. She might have lost it somewhere. Now, I became worried about her again. Her eyes would hurt a little if she couldn’t see things clearly.

She was using my right arm as her pillow, and even though I gradually felt the numbness of my muscles over there, I did not remove it nor move an inch because she might wake up all of a sudden. I could bear that feeling for Helena. I knew how tired and frightened she was last night, so she deserved to rest… here in my arms.
