Closer
Two FacedAfter a while of sobbing and crying I allow him to carry me in his muscular arms to our bedroom, whilst half asleep in his arms I listen to his heart beat in a soft rhythm…
The sound of his heart causes me to drift off even faster , the intense heat flowing from his skin doesn’t help me keep awake either. Finally giving in to my unconsciousness I catch him let out a sigh before laying me down on the bed , covering my body with the thin pure white sheets.
