Chapter 258
I fell back to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat. When I woke again it was light outside, he wasn’t beside me. Stretching out my limbs a hiss fell from my lips at the shooting pains in my stomach. It felt like a period only worse.
My full body ached.
I was sweating. So much so my hair was stuck to the back of my neck. Rubbing my forehead, I pushed the covers off my body. That’s when I noticed the blood, my blood.
It was smeared all over the cover, all over the bed sheet beneath me.
Shit.
As I heard the flush of the toilet, I pulled the covers back up and over my body. I didn’t want him to see this.
“I’ve ran you a bath p>
For some reason I couldn’t look at him. I felt embarrassed. I didn’t want to get out of bed when he was still here. I was covered in blood; the bed was covered in blood. “Thanks”. I didn’t make a move to go anywhere. I was hoping he would take the hint.
He didn’t.
A sigh fell from my lips. “Could you make me coffee?”. I asked.
“Leah p>
My eyes connected with his.
He knew. Of course, he knew. He could probably smell it. I cringed at myself for even thinking that.
“It’s embarrassing”. I whispered.
“It’s just blood baby. Here”. He handed me one of his t-shirts. “Put that on and go for a bath. It’ll help with the pain p>
“Okay”. I pulled the t-shirt over my head and down my body. This is what I wanted. I was glad he was here. Looking after me, loving me the way he should. Again, I dread to think what I would be like if I was on my own. “How are you feeling?”. He asked.
“I’m okay. It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be. That’s probably down to you being here”. I slipped out of bed heading for the bathroom.
“Can we talk once you’re done p>
I didn’t want to talk about it. I already told him this. I knew why he wanted to do it so I wasn’t sure what else he could tell me.
“I don’t want to p>
“You’re still pissed but please let me explain p>
“I’m not”. I frowned. “I told you p>
“Yeah, you’re f g disappointed”. He snapped.
Him snapping didn’t bother me. It didn’t faze me in the slightest, not like it did before. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on.

You’re here, you chose not to do it so we can put it behind us and move on”. “I fucked up p>
“You did but that’s okay p>
“Fuck’ sake Leah will you just scream at me. Tell me how shit of a mate I am and then we can move on. I don’t like this cool and calm attitude. Call me out on my shit so I can apologize”. I made a face. Was he serious?
“You don’t need me to do any of that for you to apologize p>
“I feel like it’s the calm before the storm”. He muttered.
I gave him a small smile. I wasn’t going to do or say anything. I wasn’t going to bring it up again. Like I said. He was here and that’s all that mattered. “No storm I promise p>
