Your Knife, My Back...

Hold me close, don't let go

Oli's Pov:

Dakota stirred in her sleep, mumbling and whimpering. I pulled her in closer and slide my arms around her waist. I pecked her cheek and cuddled in closer. She seemed to stop after that. I smile in relief. I loved this girl with all my heart, I just wish she could see how much she meant to me. I wanted to pick up those broken pieces and put them back together again. She honestly was now my world. I can't imagine a life without D now

"Oli..." she whispers

"Yes, Love?"

"I can't sleep"

"Me either" I admit

"Can I ask you something?" she asks turning over so we were almost nose to nose

"Course you can, Love" I smile pecking her nose

"Will you love me forever?"

I was taken back by her question. I blinka few times trying to process the words

"What do you mean?"

"You said you loved me. Will you love me forever?"

Ah, she heard me then last night

"Of course Love. But, I want you to feel safe around me before anything happens, if it happens"

"I do feel safe. I've never felt more safe then when I am around you" she whispers pecking my lips gently

"I want to believe that sweetie, but, you flinch when I touch you sometimes"

"It's not because of you... I just get scared sometimes"

"I get that but...." I cut myself off. Was I really making up excuses not to be with her? Or was I just too scared to touch her and watch her shatter if I did?

"But?"

"I want you to be sure that this is what you would want? I don't want you jumping into something that could potentially leave you even more broken"

"Oli. I've felt like this for you since.. forever. I mean yeah it was a fangirl crush at first... but then I met you, got to know you. You're so sweet, caring, funny and just well you. I didn't want to admit how I felt when I was with Alex. I didn't think you felt the same way about me" her tears started to fall

"Hey now, stop crying love. I am flattered you felt that way before you met. I am happy that you still feel that way now you've met"

"I can't help it. I can't stop" she giggles

"Can this work?" I ask

"We can try. I want to try with you. I know I just got out a relationship but I feel a connection with you. This just feels so right" she mumbles shyly

"I hope we're making the right choice" I smile kissing those delicate lips of hers. I place my hand at the back on her neck, whilst the other one rests on her cheek. We let our lips collide, as I explore her mouth a little with my tongue. She whimpers into the kiss as her hand trails up my chest and to my face. The kiss was not one of lust but more of passion and love.

Moments later, we both pull apart panting slightly at the heat of the kiss

"I love you Oliver Scott Sykes" she giggles as I raise an eyebrow playfully

"I love you too Dakota Michaelson" I say before she buries her head into the crook of my neck

"Now lets sleep" I smile and she nods

Finally, the girl was mine.
