A PERFECT NIGHT
685 Words
Walking home with Patrick, I feel complete. That missing part of me has been found. I feel alive, I feel safe and I feel loved. It's a silent walk home and I can tell that Patrick is deep in thought. Tomorrow will be tough but I don't want to let it ruin this perfect night. It doesn't take long to get back to the house and Patrick escorts me upstairs to my bedroom door.
"Thank you for tonight, Patrick. It meant the world to me. It was truly the perfect Birthday." I say, reaching up to rub his cheek.
He turns his head and kisses my palm, sending shockwaves through to my core.
"You're welcome, my Love, it was my pleasure. Happy Birthday."
He leans down to kiss me. It is a soft and delicate kiss, but I am still reeling from the events of the day and I want more. I reach up and run my fingers through that silky hair of his. A small moan escapes my lips into his mouth and he quietly growls. He grabs my waist and pushes me against the door, our bodies moulding as one. I tighten my grip around his neck and our kiss becomes deeper. Tasting eachother, fighting for dominance with our tongues. His hands move up my body, under my shirt and he gently cups my generous breasts. I move my head to the side, my lungs begging for air. Patrick moves his attention down to my neck, kissing and licking every inch of skin he can find. The sensation makes me quiver and I moan again, louder this time. Suddenly, Patrick breaks away, holding me at arms length. I stand breathless and confused.
"Don't you want me?" I ask, feeling insecure.
"More than anything, my love, but not just yet. I want you to feel safe here first. It is only your first day and we have plenty of time." He reassures me. "Go and have a good night's sleep and I will see you in the morning."
He kisses my forehead and walks away. I can't deny that I wanted more. I wanted all of him, but he is right, it's only my first day here and we should get to know each other more before going all the way. I head into my bedroom to find a new silky nightgown laid out on my bed. Where do all these clothes come from? I get changed and after freshening up in the bathroom, the tiredness hits me. It has been one hell of day. It already feels like I've been here forever. I jump into my heavenly bed and drift off into dreamland the minute my head hits the pillow.
I'm struck awake by a song. A song is being sang to me. I can hear it loud and clear yet there is nobody here in my bedroom. My body moves against my will and I can't make a sound.
Come to me, don't be afraid,
Let me ease your soul.
Come to me, don't be afraid,I'm never letting go.
You know my name, as I know you,Come to me, don't be afraid.
In only dreams, can you see me,Don't look away, don't be afraid.
Come my child, I wait for you,I know you've waited too.
Can I see you tonight?Don't close your eyes.
Can I see you tonight?Don't tell a soul.
Come to me, don't be afraid,I'm never letting go.
The song won't stop. She sings it again and again. I'm walking down the stairs and out the front door. I feel like I'm dreaming but it's all too clear.
Come to me, don't be afraid,Let me ease your soul.
Come to me, don't be afraid,I'm never letting go.
You know my name, as I know you,Come to me ,don't be afraid.
In only dreams, can you see me,Don't look away, don't be afraid.
Come my child, I wait for you,I know you've waited too.
Can I see you tonight?Don't close your eyes.
Can I see you tonight?Don't tell a soul.
Come to me, don't be afraid,I'm never letting go.
I reach the forest and darkness hits me. The voice of a woman is haunting me. It's warm yet chilling and I pray that this is just a dream.
