Chapter 16

I must have finally fallen to sleep because when I opened my eyes I saw soft, concerned blue eyes looking back at me. Johan sat stroking my hair from the side of my face over my ear. “Hey beautiful.” He whispered. “Want to tell me why you were sobbing in your sleep?”

I shook my head and closed my eyes, my lip trembled again.

“Okay, okay.” He soothed. “Do you want a drink? Or I could make you something to eat maybe?” Again I shook my head.

“What about if I just shut up and just hold you?”

A sob escaped and I nodded my head. Johan shifted on the bed coming closer, he stretched his arm out for me to curl up into. I placed my head in the crook of his shoulder. It felt nice, but nowhere near as comforting or safe as I felt in Dominic’s arms.

We laid there hours before I could muster any strength to talk.

“Thank you.” I whispered as dawn approached. We both stared out of the window watching as the clouds changed colour from a dirty grey to an array of orange, pinks and lemons.

“Anytime beautiful, anytime.” his voice sounded husky from sleep.

I shifted away from him a little realising that we were laid on his bed, with me curled into his warm body. Johan’s a very handsome man, with his dark brown, almost black hair, natural tanned skin and bright blue eyes. His nose was perfectly symmetrical, a strong looking nose. He had the most perfect pouty lips that were usually offering a dazzling smile. Although I had yet to see Johan with a girlfriend he must have had plenty. He never spoke of his personal life or partners; but the amount of flirting he did, there was bound to be plenty of broken hearts left in his wake. His voice startled me from my musings.

“Looks serious.” He smiled then turned on his side so his body faced me.

“What?”

“You were in deep thought there for a sec, and you had a scowl –“he mimicked a face I am sure I’d never pulled in my life.

“I do not look like that.”

He smiled “so what made you.” He did the face again

“Will you stop it?” I snapped and pushed at his shoulder. He laughed and held the hand that I’d pushed him with to his chest. I took a deep breath letting it out through my nose “do you think this is wrong?” I wiggled my hand, still in his.

His brow furrowed in confusion.

“Well, we’re friends, but do friends cuddle on a bed like this and hold hands.”

“I'm...comforting you, nothing more Eve.” I heard the hurt in his voice.

“Please don’t take offense, I just...it’s...I’ve never had a friend...no that’s a lie. Dominic and I used to lay like this when we were little and even when I was a teenager before...” I let my voice trail off not wanting to say his name. Johan nodded. “The thing is people always say men and women can’t just be friends, that.
