Chapter 17

Tuesday Present

Tuesday morning I wake up, and for the first time in a long time I feel relaxed and content.

I notice that Blake must have moved us to my bedroom, because I am wrapped around him in my bed. He is sleeping peacefully, so I decide not to move, not wanting to wake him.

Yesterday I decided I would give him the week to show me that he loved me and that things could work between us. He wants to make me fall back in love with him, but he doesn’t know, of course, that I have always known I am in love with him.

My biggest wish is that we are successful in overcoming every betrayal and problem in our relationship. I want to feel loved by him one last time just in case he decides he cannot take me back after what I did. It’s a precarious game, but it’s worth a try.

I see his eyelids flutter, making me smile. I used to love to watch him sleep, and that clearly hasn’t changed in a year. I feel his arm tighten around my body, and he brings me to him as a moan escapes his throat. I’m still naked, and he is in his basketball shorts and no shirt. His body heat against mine is electrifying. His eyes open all the way, and he kisses my nose, making me smile lightly at the affection.

“Good morning, love,” he says groggily. “And might I say, it is most definitely a good day because the woman of my dreams is wrapped around me,” he says with a smirk. I smile, loving his confidence, as he kisses the side of my mouth.

“Mmm, good morning to you,” I say quietly. Being in this bed with him is almost surreal. He looks at me like I am the reason the world turns. No one has ever made me feel the way he does in one look or kiss.

“You are so beautiful, Jo,” he says as he runs his hands through my tangled bed hair. I shake my head and let out a little huff. “You are. You have no idea just how beautiful you are. Every picture I look at doesn’t do you justice. Not when you look like you do right now.” He continues to run his hand through my hair, and the other one cups my cheek. I lean into his touch, loving the thrill it gives me to be loved again.

“If I had known that that day would have been the last day I saw you, the last time I held you, I would have kept you in bed all day and never have left that morning,” he whispers to me. He leans in and starts placing kisses all over my face. “I would have shown you exactly how much I love you. I never wanted to lose you, Jo. Please believe that.”

I know he wants to talk about everything that happened, but I am just not ready yet. If we talk about it, then it means I will have to confess too, and I can’t do that yet.
