Chapter 16

Sunny

“Sunshine,” I hear the nickname Comp gave me whispered through the air. Every time I hear him call me that, another layer chips away at my heart. I feel warm and so damn comfortable. I'm not ready to move, but I know Paisley will wake me up any minute for some food, so I slowly open my eyes. When I do, what I find surprises me. The eyes staring back at me aren’t the green eyes of my baby girl. They’re the steely silver eyes of Nix.

“Good morning,” I whisper; not being able to help myself, I move a piece of hair off his forehead. His eyes soften even more, and I didn’t think it was possible.

“Morning, Sunshine,” he says before closing his eyes and leaning his forehead against mine. I can see the emotions cross his face, and I try to sit up to get a better look, a better read of what he's thinking. Before I can sit up, though, he grunts, and his face shows pain slashing across it. That’s the moment I realize just how close we actually are. I am wrapped around every inch of Nix, head to toe, and I couldn’t stop the blush if I wanted to. I clung to him in the middle of the night, and basically tried to crawl under his skin, quite literally. The mans only been home for one night after the hell he was put through, and here I am making it worse.

“I am so sorry,” I gasp out, starting to move, but he places his hand on my lower back, holding me in place.

“I need to know you’re here. That I’m here with you. Just give me a little longer,” he asks softly. I relax as much as I can on top of him but am worried about causing him more pain. The pain he went through, god, I can't even imagine it. I can feel the emotions riding up in my throat, and I need to get out of here to get myself under control. I just need to get myself together.

“I need to check on Paisley,” I tell him, but don’t move. He must hear the emotion in my voice because he lays his forehead next to mine and takes a deep breath.

“Halle came early this morning and took them. They wanted to go skating, so they are at the skating rink,” he tells me. I nod my head, but I can't get my brain to stop.

“Don’t,” he tells me. I sniff, trying with all my might to hold in the tears. I know exactly what he's trying to tell me, but it won't work.

“It was me, though,” I say and break down.

“Don’t, baby. Don’t blame yourself. This was not your fault. None of it was. Plus, this was definitely not the worst thing I’ve been through. It was more of a vacation. Do you know how boring my life gets sitting behind a computer screen all day? I needed some excitement,” he says, trying to joke.
