City by the Sea 2

Alexis

I shrug. "Don't worry about it. Thanks thought." I say. I take my hair and put it back out of my face.

Elijah

I study her, "You sure? How about some company? As tired as I am... too much has happened for me to fall back asleep."

Alexis

"Again I am sorry, but company sounds nice." I say.

Elijah

I nod and stand, "In the living room though. It'll be a bit more comfortable."

Alexis

I nod and we go sit in the living room. I sit on the sofa. I turn my body to face him while my back is resting on the arm rest of the couch.

Elijah

I sit beside her and sigh, running a hand through my hair, "Mind me asking what you were dreaming about?"

Alexis

"This is one of those stupid reoccurring nightmares. It is kind of hard to talk about." I say starting. "My father was an abusive father. That is why my brother left. He could not take me with him because he could not take care of me." I say. "Any way, in the dream my father is trying to kill me. The pain fills so real." I pause to wipe a tear from my eye. "That is pretty much it." I say.

Elijah

My heart aches, listening to her. I sigh and look down for a few, "Oh. I'm sorry."

Alexis

Somehow, I mange to smile. "I am just glad I do not have to go back to it." I say. "I guess that is all that matters."

Elijah

I nod and wipe the tears from her face without realizing it, not saying anything.

Alexis

His caring eyes looks at me and wipe my tears. Without warning, I slowly lean in and kiss him. Realizing what I just did I pull away. "Sorry." I say. "I did not mean to do that."

Elijah

She kisses me but quickly pulls back, apologizing.

"No, you did," I flash a smile before kissing her again.

Alexis

He kisses me back and the corners of my mouth perk up. "Your right, I did." I say once I pull away

Elijah

I smile back at her and nod, studying her.

Alexis

He studies me and I smile. "What?" I ask.
