stay with me

Chapter 31

Hunter:

Grey's coming back today. She texted me yesterday that she convinced her parents into letting her come back already. She said her mom wasn't too happy but that she'd get over it. I'm ecstatic that she's coming back. I haven't been so excited about something in a long time. This is just another sign that Grey makes me come alive. I've missed her so much. It's been eleven days since I've seen her. I've missed her so damn much.

I'm counting down the hours till she gets here and I now have about 5 hours and 36 minutes. She told me that Sam was going to stay in their hometown for another week or so before she came back. I was surprised to hear this but Grey said she convinced her that she didn't have to come back already just because she was. I didn't mind of course, if Sam wasn't there then I got to have Grey all to myself for a week. We could make up for lost time.

I go for a run, do my laundry, go food shopping, and clean my apartment to help keep me busy while I'm waiting for Grey to return. I figure she'll probably be tired after the long car ride so I'll order in food and rent movies and we can lounge on the couch. That has become our thing and I loved it. I loved just being with her. In fact I think I was just in love with Grey. She was such an incredible person and she was as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I think I've known for a while that I'm in love with her but I've just been to afraid to admit it to myself because I don't think I deserve to be in love, but Grey deserves to have someone who loves her and love is putting someone else's needs before your own. I was willing to be whatever she needed and to give her everything.

She's back. She just texted me and told me to come over. I'm so damn excited I'm out my door and sprinting towards her apartment within 30 seconds of reading her text.

Ten minutes later I'm standing in front of her door and I realize I've made it here in record time. When she opens the door I can tell she's surprised I made it here already.

"That was fast" she giggles.

"God I missed you" I say breathlessly and without warning I pull her to me and I kiss her. I kiss her passionately and desperately. She clings to me as my hands possessively grab her hips. I feel my dick get hard and I pull her even closer to me so my hard on is pressed against her. I want her to feel how much I want her. Her hands begin to crawl up my abdomen underneath my shirt and she sighs as she touches me and the sound only makes me harder. God she was so damn sexy. I lift her shirt over her head and discard it onto the floor and then I carry her to her bed. When I lay her down I lean back to admire her incredible body. She's wearing her black lacy bra and it's sexy as hell. In my mind I imagine the matching lacy black panties she's wearing and if it's possible my dick gets even harder. As I run my eyes over her body my gaze eventually lands on her scar on her rib and I wonder again where she got it and once again I wish I could heal every ounce of hurt she has ever had. I pull my shirt over my head and her hand reaches up and touches my scar and tattoo and she looks thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I have to tell you something" she whispers.

I'm not sure why but I become immediately nervous. "What is it?" I ask my voice tight. My whole body is tense and I realize I'm terrified of what she has to say. I don't know why I am, but I just have this bad feeling in my stomach.

She sits up on the bed next to me not bothering to find her shirt and I don't bother to find mine either. It doesn't matter. All that matters in this moment is what she has to say.

"I've wanted to talk to you about this for a while but I've been afraid" she says nervously. Her big blue eyes are round and scared. The look in them makes me even more nervous.
