Only you

Chapter 23

Part 23

Dakota's POV

I wake up feeling that I miss something. I open my eyes. Outside is gray, the sun hadn't risen yet. It must be really early. I turn on my side. I planned to cuddle up to Jamie but I find nothing here. Immediately I sit up.

Where is he ?

I look around the room. No sign of him. Is it possible that he didn't come back yet ? No, no. I perfectly remember last night. He got back. I was falling asleep with Jamie in my arms. I was too afraid to let him go.

-Jamie ?-I get up-Jamie ?

Maybe he is on the terrace.

I go there and as soon as I open the door, cold morning air hits my face. But he's not here. Calm down. Don't panic.

-Dakota ?

I jump and turn around. I figure out that I was holding my breath. Without thinking I run to him and wrap my arms around his bare cherst.

-You're here, thank God.

-Of course I'm-he pulls out to look at me-You okay ?

-I just woke up and you weren't there...I thought-my voice breaks and I shake my head.

I don't see it but I know he smiles.

-You'll be sick. Come on, lets go back to bed-before I can say anything he takes me in his arms and makes his way to bed.

-I can take care of myself-I giggle.

-You don't have anymore-he kisses my forehead-Now it's my job.

I bite my lip. Of course it is...

He lays me down and quickly takes place next to me covering us with the blanket. Unable to stop myself I wrap my arms around him and hide my face on his chest. He's doing little circles on my bare shoulder. I take deep breath to inhale his delightful scent.

-Don't ever scared me like that again-I whisper.

He brings me closer to him if it's possible.

-I'm sorry baby. I guess I own you an explanation.

Immediately I rise my head up and make waiting gaze.

-So I met with David and we did our job-I nod-There was a big storm just when I was about to leave, so I decided to wait. I knew you would probably killed me if I would ride in the weather like that.

-Definitely-I smirk and he laughs-But why didn't you call ?

-I couldn't. Mine was down and after the storm David didn't have current-I open my mouth to ask again but he interrupts me- And I couldn't come back because something was wrong with car.

-Very funny-I hit him in the arm. Am I really so predictable ?-Wait, what problem ?

-I'm not sure, David is better in those things. It was something with brake, I think.

My heart stops. I don't know why, but immediately I thought of Matt. No, he couldn't...Could he ?

-Dakota, you okay ?

I can in his voice that now he's the one who is worried.

-Yeah...-I rise my hand to his cheek, slid it into his hair and back to his face-I'm just happy that you're here. When I was thinking that something happened to you...

I rememeber that perfectly. This fear, uncertainty. That was hell. He kisses the inner side of my hand and takes it in his.

-Never again. I swear.
