he kissed the side of her head and held her a little bit tighter while he laid them both on the bed. she closed her eyes, snuggled herself more to his chest, placed her left hand around his neck, right hand on his waist and took her time inhaling his scent... his scent she missed for the past two years. she'll take every little thing of him that she can. for now, she will be selfish. she will not think of the pain that she caused. she will not look for any reason. she will give in to what her heart desires.... her need to be in his arms.... for now....
