Chapter 9

Matteo

I’ve been awake for an hour now, just staring at the angel in my arms. I can’t help it. I’ve turned into a creepy motherfucker when it comes to Darlene. I’m obsessed.

She’s too good for me, that’s for sure. But I know she feels whatever it is between us. I already know there will never be another woman for me, and if she’s feeling even half of what I am, then who am I to deny her happiness? We can work out the other details later.

Darlene stirs slightly in her sleep, then turns so she’s facing me. Her eyes are still closed, and she sighs contentedly before snuggling up to me and laying her head on my chest, still sound asleep.

It’s the fourth morning in a row I’ve woken up with her in my bed. We didn’t discuss it, but after she scared the shit out of me with her fever and fainting, I knew I couldn’t spend another night without her. She hasn’t made an effort to leave yet, so I’m taking that as a good sign. I’ve never considered myself a saint, by any means, but sleeping next to Darlene and not fucking her into the mattress is making me reconsider.

I’ve had a shit time getting any sleep with her curves pressed up against me, her skin heating up mine, her delicate breaths ticking across my chest. But I would never take advantage of my angel or do anything not in her best interest. Rest and relaxation have been the best things for her these last few days. I know she was feeling back to normal yesterday, but I made her take the day off again, just to be sure. I don’t think this girl has had a proper vacation her whole life. Then again, neither have I. We’ll have to fix that soon.

I feel Darlene shiver a bit, so I pull the blanket up around her shoulders and kiss her forehead. She relaxes at my touch, which makes my chest tighten. I can’t say anyone has ever relaxed when I’m in the room, let alone when I touch them. But that’s Darlene in a nutshell; unexpected with a knack for bringing out a side of me I never knew I had.

I'm reminded of our first night in bed together. She was restless all night, sweating one minute and freezing the next. Every once in a while, she'd whimper or even start crying in her sleep. I swear being shot in the leg hurt less than hearing her cry. I would know.

But she always settled down when I brushed my fingers along her back or whispered comforting things to her. I didn't know I was capable of such things, but with Darlene, I didn't even have to think about it. I somehow knew what she needed and gave it to her. Just like she's been doing for me all along. Even when I didn't know what I needed.

Like when she hugged me. It was a complete shock to my system.
