"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

I quickly removed my jacket watching as she entered the room, her heels in her hand as she walked over to me gracefully. 


“Can you unzip me?” she asked leaving her back to face me and I did as asked, loving her scent that surrounded me. 


“Thank you,” she replied walking over to the closet. 


“I really appreciate you coming out tonight,” I told her as I took a hair tie from my pocket placing my hair into a bun on top of my head. 


“I loved being there for you,” she responded, her confession making me smile as she walked out of the closet completely bare stepping into the bathroom. 


“Did you enjoy yourself?” I asked walking into the bathroom as I removed my tie, a smile covering my face as I took in her naked body. 


“I did,” she replied and I moved behind her placing my tie on the sink, my hands falling to her waist as I kissed her bare shoulder. 


“I loved the dress you wore tonight,” I confessed enjoying the softness of her skin.
