Speechless
Chapter 37: Darcy’s P.O.V.
I woke in Matt’s arms, on the couch in my living room. I looked up at Matt’s sleeping face and smiled to myself. I was so lucky to have him; I didn’t know what I would’ve done without him.
I pressed my ear to his chest and listened to his steady breathing. It was very soothing, and I could’ve stayed that way forever. For the first night since it actually happened, I didn’t have nightmares. I had no doubt it was because Matt was with me. I felt so safe with him. I felt like I made the right choice telling him.
There was no way I was letting him ruin my relationship with Matt a second time. Nothing would make me leave Matt. I loved him too much. I needed him.
I got up, reluctantly, and started towards the kitchen. Matt stirred and stretched.
“What? No good morning kiss?”
I laughed and walked back over to him. I bent over and rested my forehead against his, twisting my fingers in his hair.
“You’re such a tease.” He smiled and kissed me as I laughed. As soon as I pulled away he tugged me onto him and hugged me tightly. He gave great hugs, and I could smell light cologne on his t-shirt.
He moved my hair and kissed my forehead, releasing me so I could go to the kitchen. He followed me into the open room and pressed me lightly against the wall, cupping my face in his hands and kissing me gently.
It was sweet and romantic, not forceful or aggressive. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he picked me up and twirled me around as we kissed. I laughed when he put me down.
“How are you?” He asked, resting his hands on my waist, my arms still around his neck.
“Better. Thank you.”
“There’s no need to thank me Darcy, I’ll always be here for you. Whether you want me to be or not.”
“Oh, I want you to be.”
“Yeah?” He asked flirtatiously.
I nodded, a smirk playing on my lips. I got on my tiptoes and kissed him. He slipped his fingers into the belt loops of my jeans and pulled me against him. I slid my hands down his chest and pulled back slowly.
He sighed and I giggled. “Can you drive me to speech today?” I asked, batting my eyelashes.
“Yes, my darling. Personal chauffeur at your service.”
“How can I ever repay you?”
“Oh, I think we can arrange something…” He trailed off and kissed me again. He was very affectionate this morning. I was glad that we were back to the way that we were.
Even though he hadn’t known, the secret had been tearing us apart before. We were becoming distant, and I hated lying to him. I was glad that he knew and would keep my secret.
I pulled back and started to walk to the fridge, but he tugged my hand and spun me around.
“You haven’t fully repaid me, you still owe me.”
I winked at him and he rolled his eyes playfully.
I wished I could hear his voice. If there was one sound in the world I wanted to hear it was Matt’s voice, and his laugh, and him saying, “I love you, Darcy.” That’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to hear so bad that it hurt.
Not hearing didn’t quite bother me; I had adjusted to it so quickly when I was born because I had never known sound. At all. But since I’ve been with Matt, I’ve stayed up at night wondering what his voice sounded like. How he sounded saying my name.
I opened the fridge and poured a glass of orange juice, taking a sip and looking out the front window.
Matt encircled his arms around my waist from behind, and rocked me slightly sideways as he kissed my neck. I closed my eyes and smiled, enjoying the feel of his lips on my skin. My neck tingled and I couldn’t focus when he did that.
He was still kissing me when I opened my eyes and looked out the window.
My glass shattered to the floor, shards and orange liquid covering our feet.
