"When it's been a while since you've been in love, and suddenly you are, it's like waking up to a world you've forgotten." - Lang Leav

I wake up with a raging hard-on and a beautiful woman in my arms. Something that I definitely didn’t expect to happen when I took on this assignment. Sometime in the night, she managed to climb closer to me and instead of moving away, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer. And now I can't stop staring at her peaceful sleeping face and wishing I had the courage to kiss her. The way her plush lips are parted and her soft breaths are exhaling is just so goddamn inviting.

I shot all caution to the wind yesterday after she opened up to me. Seeing her vulnerable and honest was life-changing. And no, that’s not a fucking exaggeration. I decided right then and there that I didn't want to be something that caused her more anxiety or stress or worry. I’m still kicking myself in the ass mentally over the fact that I caused her any in the first place. I never should have avoided her because of my own issues…it was fucking selfish. I refuse to do that again.

No…I want to be who she comes to when she needs stability and strength. I want to be her comfort. I want her to feel like she can come to me and share those beautiful thoughts in her head.

Lifting my hand, I slowly push her hair out of her face and she sighs sleepily, nuzzling into my hand. God, she's absolutely fucking perfect. I wanted to rage when she was talking about her anxiety…about how her brain hated her. I don't know how to express to her that there is literally nothing wrong with her. She's genuinely the kindest, smartest, and most beautiful woman I have ever known. Does she even realize how strong she is? She has overcome so much. Endured so much fucking pain and didn’t allow it to make her bitter or angry. She’s still this kind and loving woman who can be vulnerable and honest. She’s a fucking vision and she deserves to know it.

Anxiety is a real bitch. I’ve had a few friends in the Corps who dealt with it, and sometimes I think Seb has it. It’s not like a conscious choice to overthink or over feel…anxiety comes at you when you feel vulnerable and just attacks. I hate that she has to go through that…but I’m in awe of how she manages to handle it.

Slowly, those mix-matched eyes blink away the sleep and a breathtaking smile overtakes her face as she looks up at me. I don't even try to stop the responding smile or the way she makes my heart pound in my chest. How is it possible that someone can look so fucking good first thing in the morning? It should be a crime.

“Morning,” she says sleepily, nibbling on her lower lip in a way that drives me fucking insane.
