Together Forever

Chapter 40

Evelyn's POV

"You want to sleep on my lap?" I ask, smiling slightly at him.

He gives me a look of disbelief and searches my eyes, probably trying to understand if I'm kidding or not.

"Are you serious?" He asks me.

"Yes, I'm serious."

"But I didn't say that I wanted to." He says as a smirk falls on his lips.

"Yeah, but your eyes told me." I shrug, smirking back.

He rolls his eyes at me, "So eyes speak too? You are impossible."

I raise my eyebrows and retort, "Ok, fine. I'm taking my offer back."

His eyes widen at my words as he says, "Wha- but I... I didn't say I don't want to either."

I chuckle, "Guess who's impossible then?"

"Whatever."

He looks down at my lap as he smiles a bit. Hesitantly, he moves closer and leaning towards me, slowly places his head on my lap. Butterflies start jumping in my stomach almost immediately. He makes him comfortable there while I put my hand on his hair and another one over his arm, keeping him close to me.

At first, I feel a little uncomfortable since no one has ever come into such an adorably intimate contact with me before. But I push the thoughts back and look down at him. The moon is shining and the side of his face is enlightened by the moonlight. The cool night breeze is blowing, the leaves grazing with each other creating a placid sound. I smile down at him as I keep running my fingers through his silky hair. He hums in comfort and closes his eyes.

"You know what Evelyn? Not everyone's lap is the same. It has to be someone special who can make you feel peaceful." He whispers, eyes closed.

"Are you feeling calm?"

"Hmm."

"So does that mean I'm someone special?" I smile.

"You just knew that today? Of course, you are." He says, making me giggle.

A few minutes pass in silence while we enjoy the closeness and the balsamic quietness of the night. My fingers keep traveling through his smooth hair.

"Evelyn?"

"Hmm?"

He grabs my hand and hugs it tightly before he murmurs softly, "Will you give me a chance?"

He doesn't look at my eyes, instead keeps my hand close to him as if I am leaving him at this moment. I stare down at him for some time as I think. He has never gotten love. That's why he's like this. Love can change everything. He will change too if he gets love and care. And when he's asking me for these, I will definitely give him.

I sigh as I mumble, "Yes."
