Promised You Heaven

Chapter 29-Billie

"I love you too," She said start to break down again, "I don't want to go through it alone anymore" I nodded, kissing her on the forehead before pulling her closer.  

"I'm here," I said as I held her even tighter, both of us crying together.  After a while we had both slowed our tears and were just holding each other.  "Do you need anything before we go to sleep?" I asked softly. 

"Can you get me a drink of water?" She asked and I obliged,

"Sure, be right back."  I got up and walked to the kitchen barely awake at this point.  When I returned she was still in the same spot, watching as I walked back over

"Thank you, and thank you for making me food today." She said as she grabbed the glass and took a sip,

"Of course, you needed to eat," I replied as I got into bed pulling her close again,

"Sometimes I hate how perfect and sweet you are, makes me feel like a really shitty person" she said with the smallest hint of a smile,

"Oh hush, you are not a shitty person." I let out a small laugh at her comment as I kissed the top of her head. 

"Josh," she said quietly,

"Hm?" I hummed quietly as I ran my fingers through her hair gently

"Thank you for loving me, I know I make it hard sometimes." 

"Nonsense, loving you is easy. The one thing I am most confident, most sure about in my life is how much I love you." She didn't reply but I knew she heard me because she pulled me a little closer.  We both fell asleep rather quickly after that.  

The next morning I woke up before Rhiannon but I didn't budge.  She was sleeping peacefully and I just wanted to look at her.  I had only been away from her for a day but I missed waking up with her.  Our schedule was clear for about a month and a half, so there was no rush to get out of bed.  I closed my eyes as I waited for her to wake up.  After a while I felt her shift, so I slowly opened my eyes.  Her green eyes were still bloodshot from the emotional night before, but a smile crept on her face. 

"Morning" she said, running her fingers in my hair and caressing my face,

"Morning," I replied, turning my face and kissing the palm of her hand.  She guided my face to hers and placed a soft kiss on my lips.  I sighed, savoring it as she pulled away. "Do you need anything, are you hungry?" I asked

"I could eat, but I want to shower first." She replied, "Join me?" I knew she didn't mean it in a sexual way.  If she was feeling what I was feeling then I knew she just didn't want to be away from me, not even for a moment.  I nodded, getting up from the bed and giving her my hand as she too stood.  Our fingers interlaced as we walked down the hall, I turned to go to my bathroom when she stopped me,

"Let's shower in mine, its huge and it has two shower heads" She suggested,

"Does it really?" I asked surprised,

"Yes," She laughed softly at my surprise, "Come on," She said now leading me.  We walked into her bathroom and I realized she was right, this bathroom was much bigger and it did in fact have 2 shower heads.  We simultaneously got undressed and I turned the water on, getting it to a comfortable temperature.  We both stepped in and started to shower. We would steal small touches and gentle kisses when we'd reach past each other for shampoo or to adjust the water.  Once we were both content and ready to get out we both got dressed in comfy clothes, planning on just lounging around the house. 

"What would you like for breakfast?" I asked as I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist as she combed through her wet hair. 

"Hmm, do we have stuff for omelets?" she said after some consideration
