Dante's POV.

I was in my office, filling out aome paperwork, missing my princess.

Suddenly my phone rang. Looking at it, I see it from her. I lean back and answer.

"Why are you still up beautiful?" I ask. But, instead of a well worded answer, I hear sobs. My heart shattered.

Her sobs are somewhat quite.

Immediately, I end the call and race out. I jog downstairs. When I get there, I grab a pair of keys and go to the garage.

My 1969 Dodge Charger.

I hop in and speed away. I pull up to her house and park across the road. Then, I jog across to her house and try the front door.

Locked.

So is the back door.

I walk around and see if I can find her room. There's a tree in front of one room.

When we went on our date, and I came to pick her up, I remember her going upstairs saying she needed something.

Taking my chances, i use the branches and my upper body strength to pull me up.

She has curtains. I walk across the branch and reach over to open the window. Thankfully, the branch is very close to her window.

I open it and climb in. Immediately, my ears are met with sobs.

Looking over, I see Tru fisting the blanket crying. She curled herself into a ball.

I rush over and grab her shoulders. "Tru. Tru. Tru!" Third time's the charm. After the last call, she wakes up.

Her eyes are watery and wide. She pulls me by my neck and forces me to her. Her face goes to the crook of my neck and my arms circle her waist.

I move us so I'm where she was originally laying and she's laying on the other side.

She melts into me and the feeling is amazing.

I run his finger through her soft, brown hair. "I'm here baby. Calm down." I kiss her forehead. I wait for her to calm, and she finally does.

"Better now, baby?" I check, just to make sure. She nods."Good."

"What time is it and how'd you get in here?" Her soft voice asks.

"It's a little after 1 in the morning. And you must've later on your phone because somehow you called me. I heard you crying so I rushed over." I say quietly, not only for her, but because Britt is asleep in this crib like thing.

"Oh. How'd you get in? All my doors are locked." Looking up at me.

"Your bedroom window. Climbed the tree." She looks behind her to the open window, curtains flying as the wind blows them around.

She looks back at me. She laughs slightly and shakes her head.

"So, you all good now?" I ask, looking down at her. She nods. I kiss her forehead and get up.

Just as I stood, she immediately grabbed my hand. I look back at her. "Where do you think you're going?" She asks quietly.

"Home?" Raising an eyebrow.

"Stay." She visibly gulps. "Please." I couldn't say no to my princess. I just can't. I always said I'd treat her like a queen as soon as I found her.

I look at her, her smoldering brown eyes, burning into mine. I kick off my boots and set them by her bed. Then, I take my leather jacket off and set it next to my boots.

I climb in bed with her. We just lay next to each other, staring. No contact except for the kind were making with our eyes.

"Hey." She breathes.

"Hey." I say.

She moves closer to me, just slightly. "How are you?" My heart beats frantically.

"Amazing." I say truthfully, smiling and slightly breathless.

"Good." She says. It's my turn to move closer. We're still not touching and it's killing me.

"Hope you're doing just as good?" I ask quietly, hoping she'll say the same for the same reason.

"Getting there. Slowly, but getting there." She says, and it immediately becomes my mission to help her exceed that in every way.

We both move closer at the same time. Her arms wrap around my waist. My lower arm is under my head.

She bring her arms to his chest. I fight a shiver of pleasure away. The things this girl does too me. "Tired?" She asks.

I nod. "You?" She nods.

She moves closer and snuggles her face into my chest. My cheek rests on the top of her head.

We're making so much progress. At first, she would hardly let me touch her. Now, here we are, cuddling, in her bed, about to sleep.

I hear her breathing becomes even as she falls asleep.

Just as I was about to do the same, one thought occured to me.

I finally got what I want.

To go to sleep with my princess in my arms.

That Morning or, well, later that morning.

I awoke, but Tru hadn't. Her back was to me and my arms circling her waist.

Smiling, I moved hair from the back of her neck and begin to kiss. Slow, meaningful, kisses. "Mmm." I hear her.

I lean up to her ear. "Good morning." whispering. She turns her head. "How'd you sleep?" I ask.

She nods, "Good." I smile. A bit now, with all the light now, I can see her face I looks cut up. Just slightly, but still. "What?" She asks.

"What happened?" She looks at me confused. "Your lip and under your cheek."

"Oh. A guy dropped his stuff and I bent down to help and when his head came up he accidentally hit me." I nod, not fully believing it but not wanting to press any further. "Time?"

"Fiveish." She nods. Suddenly, the door opens. Matthew walks in.

Then, I hear little Matthew. "I w-want u-up." Smiling, I turn around.

"I got ya little dude." I say and lift him before sitting him in front of her.

"You're up early, aren't ya?" She asks. He nods. She lifts the blankets and he crawls under, cuddling with her.

"W-Whats Dante d-doin here?" He asks, looking up at her. I smile.

"I had a bad dream and he came here to help." Smiling, I begin to play with her hair.

He nods. "Okay. W-What about school t-today?"

"I'm not going. Do you wanna go?" He shakes his head no. "Okay. Go get Uncle Mike to make you some breakfast." He nods and gets out of bed.

When he leaves, I speaks up. "Little man stole my cuddle buddy." She laughs and turns around.

"You poor baby."

"I'll be your baby." Smirking. She rolls her eyes.

"Weirdo."

I smile down at her and wrap my arms around her. "We should do this more often."

"No." Shaking her head.

"Why not?"

"I don't know, maybe because I just met you a week ago. If that."

"If i do recall correctly, you were the one who asked me to stay."

"True. But, in my defense, I was scared half to death."

"And you looked for my comfort."

I watch as she thinks to herself but says nothing. I arch my brow.

"Asshole." She mumbles, causing me to chuckle.

"I'm your asshole though." Rubbing her back.

"That didn't come out right."

"No. No it did not. But you know what I mean."

"No i don't." I open my mouth to speak but Britt's cries stopped me.

I watch in awe as she gets up and walks over to her crib thing. She bends down and picks her up, then cradling her to her chest. "Morning beautiful." She whispers.p

She walk over and sit on the bed. She places Britt right in front of her.

I lean over and press my face into the crook of her neck. At the same time, my arms circle around her waist and press her side into my chest.
