Krimson’s P.O.V
The sound of my phone vibrating on the side table woke me up from my slumber.
I opened my eyes with some difficulty, but when I felt the soft texture of Lilac’s skin under my hands, I let out a sigh of relief.
She was still here. She didn’t leave.
Her body was turned away from me while I spooned her from behind and no matter how much my fingers tingled to run them over the lush curves of her body, I held myself back, not wanting to wake her up. Lilac looked peaceful…
Instead, I kissed her shoulders, and slowly got up from the bed, despite wanting to wrap my arms around her tightly because somewhere in the pit of my stomach, I could feel dread settle in.
I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, even after last night… she was going to regret the spur of the moment decision she made and we might be back to square one…but being able to hold her close for one more night…trying to apologize to her…it was a start.
