Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 257
I sat down on the sofa and rested my head on the back of it, for the first time in months my head was blank of thoughts, was I really feeling that peaceful that my mind wasn’t even working in that moment?
Although, I admit, the quiet in my head didn’t last that long as ‘The sound of the taps gushing water out quickly filled the room, and I smiled as Lewis flooded my brain. No one had ever been so attentive to me before, it truly did make a change, Lewis made me feel like I could conquer anything as long as he was by my side.
I liked him, god help me, I really liked him, and the more things he would do for me, the more my feeling began to grow,
It took about 8 minutes before Lewis once again left the bathroom. He smiled as he walked up to me, he held his two hands out in an invitation to help me rise and I took them, without hesitation.
“Take your time. I’ll be downstairs if you need anything, ok? I’ll leave some of my clothes on the bed for when you’re ready.” I swallowed and nodded my head before strolling to the door of the bathroom. I halted before I entered though and turned to the man who was once again rummaging in his closet, however this time he was trying to locate some clothes for me to wear to bed.
“Hey, Lewis?” I was met with a simple yet friendly hum in reply, and I smiled when he turned back to me so he could look at me while I spoke to him. “You don’t have to go? I mean… you can stay and wait if you want to? I won’t be that long, I promise.”
I made it sound like I didn’t care whether he decided to stay or go, it was his choice, but I knew I really wanted him to be there when I got out of the bath, I wanted to be comforted by him. To bask in his warmth. I think he fully knew what my selfish desires were because he chuckled and played along perfectly.
“Ok, I’m pretty tired myself, so I wouldn’t mind just staying up here for a while. But don’t be too quick, just enjoy.” I nodded and finally walked into the bathroom.
Instantly the scent of flowery soap met my nose and the warmth radiating from the tub, hit me and almost immediately relaxed my muscles, all but one. A large smile formed as I stared at the bath, that was filled to the brim with bubbles, soft instrumental music was playing out of a small box on a self in the corner, and little flamed tea light candles were dotted around, the main light was off and it created a beautiful calmness that completely took over the room.
