“You sleep better with me? No nightmares?”
I nod.
“I like that I make you feel safe” He smiles as he buries his face in the crook of my neck.
“There’s no one I feel safer with.”
He leans up on his elbows, his hair hanging down over his eyes, dark stubble lining his jawline. “Promise me we’ll always be friends? Even if I do something stupid to mess it up?”
I search his face concerned, wondering where this is coming from. “Of course. Why do you ask?”
He sighs. “Because I think I’m going to tell that girl how I feel and well, it may change things between us when I do.”
I bob my head and I try to not look like I’m being gutted from the inside. “Are you..., are you going to tell her today?”
He shakes his head and I feel a selfish prick for being relieved that I get one day more of having him to myself. “Nah, I need to plan it properly.”
