I laid under Rhys as he soothed my hair. I was still shuttering and jolting slightly.
I can't even begin to comprehend what even happened or how fast we went from planning our wedding to having sex.
Rhys helped me sit up before he took off the condom throwing it in the ensuite bin. I came waddling in, doing a wee.
"Do you wanna shower?" Rhys asked me, and i nodded.
"Do you want me to cancel the venue looking?"
"No it's okay." I nodded.
I came into the shower with him, and rested my body against him as the hot water trickled over our bodies.
We got clean and then got ready again. As i was doing my makeup in my room, Rhys came in. "Can you do my tie?"
I nodded. "Come here."
He came over, got on his knees so i wouldn't have to stand. I tied his tie, and he gave me a kiss. I didn't really know how our relationship would be from here or what will change. But i'm just trying to ride it out.
We go from venue to venue, looking around. Our hands never left eachother once. At all times Rhys's hands were on me. It was comforting in a way.
Whenever we were alone Rhys would kiss me, ask me if i was okay, if i wanted to go home.
I was starting to think he just wanted to go home.
When it was just us he would smile, say something stupid to make me laugh.
We collected Lou from daycare, and brang her home.
I yawned, laying on the sofa with Lou as she sat in my lap, playing with her dolls. Rhys was in his office working.
~~
It was 10pm, and i was sat in my bed reading. When i looked up and saw a dark figure, Rhys, leaning against the doorframe.
He was shirtless, only in pajama pants.
"You're not coming to bed with me?"
"Do you want me too?" I asked.
Rhys nodded slowly, his fingers twitching. I got out my bed, turning off my lamp coming over to him. His hand moved to my ass, closing the bedroom door and we walked across the living room to his room.
It was messy, his clothes on the floor, my clothes on the floor from earlier too. Lou's clothes and toys all over the floor, but the bed was made and had fresh sheets.
"Let's clean your room."
"I'll do it tomorrow i'm tired."
"Come on, five minutes you'll wake up feeling better."
He raised his brow, and i laughed. "It's true!"
Rhys shook his head and began to pout, going to his side of the bed.
"Nuh-uh. Clean."
"Sleep."
"Clean."
"Sleep."
He lifted the covers of the bed, and i put my hands on my hips, and then he laid down and curled up into a ball.
I softened, signing. I climbed into bed, and Rhys moved closer to me, wrapping his arms around me holding me close. "Dont go anywhere." He whispered.
"I'm not. I'm here."
He nodded, kissing my head.
"Rhys." I whispered softly, tracing his tattoos.
"Hm?"
"What does this mean?"
"What mean, Princess?"
"You..and me? Today..this?"
"I don't know-what-" He was nervous, i could tell. But he took a deep breathe.
"I'm scared." He whispered.
"Of me?"
"Somewhat." Rhys brushed the hair off my face. "My ex, Melissa. When she left me and Lou-it ruined me. She wasn't even a good partner to me, but fuck-her leaving ruined me inside and i struggle with relationships and friendships and everything because of it."
I nodded. "I know." I gave him a kiss. "I'm not going anywhere."
He nodded, but i know he couldn't believe me.
"You don't want to be in this with me for real. The arrangements enough-you don't want to love me."
"I do." I whispered.
"You barely know me. I'm an asshole."
I watched him, his mind ticking constantly, trying to push me away, trying to not let me in.
I slowly kissed his neck, "You're not an asshole."
"I am-" He held me tighter.
"Mmm, maybe sometimes."
"I'm worse the more you know me."
"You're better the more i know you, love." I kissed his jaw. "You're not as bad as you think you are."
"Should i take that as a compliment or an insult?"
I lifted my head, giggling, "Shut up." I gave him a kiss.
"We'll just see what happens okay? Go with the flow, take it slow." I said.
"Slow? We fucked this morning."
"Yeah, shut up." I smiled.
He smirked, his hands going up my shirt rubbing my back up and down.
"We will just see what happens, okay?"
Rhys nodded, kissing me. I laid my head back on his chest, and we fell asleep, curled into eachother for the second night in a row.
