Caden's gaze softened, shoulders slumping slightly as his throat tightened. "Why? How can I make you not be scared of me?" He asked softly, staring at the floor.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She sighed slightly, struggling to explain it. "I'm scared you're gonna hurt me...If not physically than emotionally. I love you but I'm worried you'll find a different girl to say that to and turn me away at a moment's notice"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I promise you, you are the one I want and I wouldn't cheat on you for any reason since they're not you, and all I want is you." He murmured, still staring at the floor.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I...feel the same way" She said softly
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Well then... how can I help you not be scared?" He asked flatly, keeping his gaze on the ground so she wouldn't see the hurt in his eyes.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She cupped his face, making him look at her. "Don't yell. Be gentle. That's all" She said softly, taking in his gaze
|
|  |
|
| |

|
He just nodded, pulling his face away.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I didn't mean....I guess...I don't know how to explain it...I'm sorry." Would you like me to go away?"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"No no... stay." He murmured, pulling her close.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She nodded and buried her face in his chest
