"It's you" She announced softly

"So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly.

"You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind.

"And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words.

"What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly.

"That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory.

"I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

Riptide

"Baby I can't hear you," I announced pulling on my white t-shirt, removing my gold chain from beneath my shirt making it seen as the room went silent. I was about to go to her when the bathroom door opened to reveal her. 


"My neck," she pointed out her beautiful coils falling around her. She pushed her hair to the side showing me the red spot on her neck as she walked towards me looking absolutely perfect. 


"I know," I replied remembering exactly when I did it and she rolled her eyes. 


"I told you not to leave one," she scolded walking over to the mirror and I trailed hugging her from behind as she observed the mark on her neck. 


"Actually you told me to go deeper," I recalled amused remembering the words she had said last night while I was making the hickey and she shot me a look of amusement as I kissed her exposed shoulder.
