《The Match ✓》Chapter 17💃🏻

I walk over to the door and open it and feeling this intense amount of relief when I see him standing there in all his glory and it actually makes my body feel hot in ways that I can't seem to be able to explain. Steel walk over to me and stands in front of me and as I look up at him, and he looks down at me I have this strange fluttering inside my threat which is more intense than anything that has ever happened. His lifts his hand up to my face and caress my cheek and with his thumb he wipes away the tears that had fallen down from my eyes and leaked down my cheeks.

"Do not cry" He whispers to me. "I'm here" He softly speaks. His voice alone is making my heart feel much better and I can finally calm down. All the darkness is gone, and he's just here with me, and we are together. He closes the door with his foot, and then he follows me into my bedroom. When I'm with him my heart is pounding within my chest but in the best way possible and I don't really mind it.

"I'm sorry, my room's a mess. I'm always so busy with work and dancing that I get so tired to clean up" I speak as I sit down on the bed in shame. My room does look a mess with dust on the shelves and clothes on the floor and things like that. I've not gotten around to clean yet as I'm always exhausted. Steel sits down next to me. "A little bit of unclean room has never hurt anyone" He speaks. I don't know why, but he's able to make me feel better no matter what, and he does so by brining a smile to my face.

I smile up to him when I look up and there is just so much beauty in his eyes that I can't seem to be able to get enough of it. I could get lost in this beauty that he does hold. "You should go to sleep. I'll stay here and make sure monsters that lurk in the night can't touch you" He speaks so softly and so soundly that I feel that I never want to stop listening to his voice. I slowly nod my head as I'm loss for words.

With the heat in my cheeks I go under my covers and lie down. "Would you lie down with me?" I ask him for a moment. It is dark in the room and I can feel him standing in it but I don't want him to stand there for too long. I can't see exactly what he does but I hear him walk over to the other side of the bed and sit down and go under the covers. My bed is not a big one, but we are able to fit in it, though his large body is close to my small one.

I close my eyes as I try to get some sleep but it just doesn't want to find me and I can't be sure why though I know that I don't have to fear anything right now for Steel is here and I know he will make sure that the shadows go back to where they belong and there is no one that can hurt me. I find myself opening my eyes and looking at him to see that he's on his back and I can see his eyes blinking as he looks up at the ceiling.

For a small moment I wonder what is running through his head but then I realize that it must be something about me being far too afraid of being a coward that I can't even feel safe in my own home but if he knew about what happened then he would understand. However, there is not a chance that he nor anyone is going to know about it, I have been warned to not speak to anyone about this person who has been sending me these texts and I don't know what will happen if I do I just know that I can't tell anyone, not even Steel.

The longer that I stare at him the more I wonder about his life, he doesn't speak much about it and I doubt that he is going to and asking him about it doesn't feel right since if he wants to tell me then he will tell it in his own time and when he's ready. The exhaustion in my body is starting to take over and I'm having a hard time not closing my eyes, yet I also find myself wanting to stare him longer, finding it comfortable and relaxing even.

I watch as his Adam's apple bobs up and down and see as his eyes blink, and he doesn't move at all beside those movements along with the rise and fall of his chest. His fingers remain still and his body is motionless as if he were a rock or a steel. I smile to myself of that small joke and with a silent sigh I find myself closing my eyes and allowing the darkness to enter my vision but even when all I see is the darkness, I don't feel afraid. In fact, I feel much better.

Steel is here with me and there is no harm that can come to me and while my heart is speeding up because he's here I actually find it better having him beside me than not having him here at all. So as I'm whisked away into the sleep I find myself wishing that he could be with me every single night and perhaps one day that wish will come true but only the future knows for sure yet that will never stop me from dreaming and perhaps this is a start of a crush that I find myself feeling for the man beside me.
