My Secret Love

Chapter 15 : I don't like you like that

Chapter 15

Middle of the night...

Riker POV

I woke up, hearing Taylor crying quietly.

"Taylor?"

"Riker!?"

I got out of bed, and went over to Taylor.

"Riker!?"

"Shhh. It's ok. I'm right here. What's wrong?"

"I had a bad dream. He was trying to hurt me!"

"It's ok. He can never hurt you again."

"Riker?"

"What?"

"I made up my mind."

"What do you mean?"

"I have feelings for you too."

"Really!?"

"Yeah."

Taylor found my hand, and held it tight. Our lips gently pressed together.

"Are you ok now?" I asked.

"No. I'm scared of him. Will you please stay with me?"

"Yeah, but I like my bed better. Can we please move to there?"

"Carry me?"

"Fine."

I picked Taylor up in my arms. I put her on one side of my bed. I got in on the other.

"Goodnight, Taylor."

"Wait. Riker?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm still really scared."

She was more than scared. She was shaking like crazy. I wrapped my arms around her, and pulled her close.

"Taylor, it's ok. I promise."

"He's going to come back and hurt me."

"No he won't. I will not let him hurt you."

"Thank you, Riker."

Taylor turned in my arms, and kissed me. She sighed, and then fell asleep. Once she was asleep, I let myself fall asleep too.

Morning...

Taylor POV

"Riker."

I was in Riker's arms like last time.

"Riker."

I kissed his lips, and he started to kiss back. He opened his eyes, and started laughing.

"What?" I asked.

"That was the most amazing way I've ever been woken up before."

I smiled. Riker rolled over, and put on his glasses. I sat up.

"Are you ok?" Riker asked.

"Yeah. Just worried."

"Don't be. Come on. Let's go get some breakfast."

Riker took my hand, and we walked downstairs together.

Later...

Taylor POV

Riker had come to my house after breakfast. We hung out in my room. He wouldn't let me talk about my dad. He was trying to keep my mind off it.

"Taylor, come here for a second."
