Their safe haven

Chapter thirty-seven🫶🏼

I felt his chuckle vibrate through my chest making my heart scream in my chest. I picked his head up and placed it down on my mattress while trying to get up. Before I could get up completely Rain wrapped his arms around my hips making it harder to move.

"Rain move." I tried to squeeze out of his arms but none of it helped. "Rain I'm serious, move." Having to whisper made me chuckle as I tried to wiggle around in his arms.

I sat still when I felt his hands lower to my lower back. He barely opened his eyes as he looked up at me. "And I'm serious too, stay still for me. Just a few more minutes." I sighed as my stomach flipped with excitement.

I smiled sweetly at him and as he was putting his head on my chest again I smacked him in the head. His head slowly moved up, resting his chin on my chest. I looked at him with wide eyes and a very wide smile. "No. You need to move." I tapped his head to make him blink which he didn't.

Slowly he raised to his elbows to hover over me, smiling that I got my way I slid under his arms and ran to my closet. I needed a shower and new clothes.

As I was flipping through my closet I felt a presence behind me, burning holes into my body making it feel like lava. Without turning I bent down and grabbed my sock drawer, pulling it open I spoke while slowly bending back up. "It's rude to stare." I heard a very deep inhale and then a small groan.

I grabbed a black hoodie that I stole from Romeo and I grabbed grey sweatpants since I'm not planning on doing much today. I turned to look at him and the view almost knocked me on my ass, Rain was leaning against my closet door with his head tilted down to look at me, arms crossed over his chest and his feet crossed at the ankles.

I shook my head to get back on track and cleared my throat. "I need you to leave my closet for a few seconds." Rain shook his head and walked past me to my drawers. I watched as he slowly opened my undergarment drawer. I quickly tried to push him away which was a total fail as I head-butted his shoulder.

He placed a hand on my head, keeping me at arm's length as he pulled out my underwear and bra. "Red. Red would look good on you." I felt my face burn as I tried to reach for the red bra and underwear he had in his giant hand. "Tsk, not so fast." He closed the drawer and placed the red set on top of the pile of clothes in my hand.

Once he let my head go I walked past him and practically ran into my bathroom. There was no way in hell I was going to face the man that picked out my undergarments! I left the bathroom door open and started to turn the water on in the shower.

"I have to leave soon. You are okay, correct?" I turned to face him while my mind ran over one hundred miles per hour. I shook my head and walked over to his large figure. He looked down at me, confused until I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the bathroom with me.

I didn't want him to leave, I didn't want to risk losing him ever again. I didn't let go of his hand as I reached behind him and locked the bathroom door. "Don't leave me again, please." I turned my head to look at his face and saw that he had a soft look in his grey eyes.

He shook his head and I sighed in relief as I finally told myself to let go of his hand. I took a deep breath and kept my eyes on his as I took a few steps back, slowly grabbing the hem of my shirt I slowly pulled it over my head. I watched as his eyes scanned my face as if looking for any discomfort, but he wouldn't find any.

I walked over to him and placed my hand on his chest. "Take a shower with me?" I offered a small smile and looked down at his shirt. It was quiet so I looked up and saw him nodding his head. I smiled gently and grabbed the hem of his shirt, tugging on it until he got the hint and pulled it over his head.
