If I fall - S01 E22

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

As my eyes fluttered open I took in my surroundings, allowing my hand to glide over the soft sheets, only to realize it was cold on Drew's side of the bed. I turned to see that she wasn't there, almost startling me. I took a deep breath, realizing that she was probably downstairs waiting for me to wake up.

As I laid face up staring at her ceiling I analyzed everything that had happened last night. Drew had most definitely came onto me, I had refused her, but not because I didn't want her. No, that wasn't why at all. I had refused her because even whenever I was desperately craving to feel her against me I wanted it to be fair to both of us. I knew Drew didn't care about those types of things, but I did, and I had confessed that I was willing to wait until she was ready.

I wanted her to be willing and ready to receive on my end, but I didn't know how long it would take for her to be comfortable enough.

I had to take into account that we haven't even known each other long, almost three months but not quite. I thought we had made amazing progress considering both of our situations, so what was the rush? I wanted Drew and I to work out more than anything, and waiting with her always seemed to be worth it.

I figured it would be worth it for this too.

I sat up as I heard Drew coming up the stairs. My heartbeat speeding up just enough to make me feel nervous, and when she appeared at the door I couldn't help but smile.

She stood there in all her glory, leaning against the doorframe with folded arms, "You're finally up."

I pouted, "How long have you been awake?"

She shook her head, smiling, "Only about an hour, don't worry."

"You should've woken me up."

She walked over to me slowly then, crawling over her bed to meet me. I felt my tongue wet my lips almost instinctively as her face came close to my own. She gave me a good morning kiss, something that was different on her end before responding to my previous comment.

"I wanted to let you sleep," she confessed, sitting on her knees in front of me. "You were exhausted last night so..."

I couldn't help but smile at her consideration. How could someone so damaged be so damn cute and selfless? I lifted my hands, cupping her face and kissing her a little more before realizing I had morning breath.

I pulled away, covering my mouth in humiliation, "I'm sorry, my breath stinks..."

She laughed, shaking her head, "I don't care. I made breakfast. Well, it's more like brunch now that it's ten-thirty but, come down whenever you're ready."

I watched her disappear down the stairs as I smiled to myself, realizing that I wouldn't regret my decision I had made last night.

Waiting would be worth it, I was sure of that.
