Eternal love Book 1 by Sami.leigh (highly recommended books TXT) 📕

going to hurt you’’ He sounded hurt, but I didn’t care I just needed to get out of this place, I didn’t know where I was or who he was.

‘’Its James’’

James? Why did that seem so warm and familiar?

Realisation dawned on me as my memories were returning back to me.

‘’James?’’ I questioned

Feeling him release his grip, I backed to the wall timidly still retrieving my memories.

‘’ what… where… happened...?’’ I stuttered incoherently

‘’ I’m your best friend lys’’ he came to me slowly with caution as not to scare me away. ‘’ You had an accident yesterday so I brought you to my house. You’re in my bedroom lyssa’’

It was like a light popped on in my brain as I was over whelmed with the previous days activities.

‘’The tree… what day... what about my mum?’’ I spluttered trying to ask too many questions in such a short time.

Know exactly what I was asking he answered

‘’ yesterday you fell lyssa from the tree, but you’re going to be ok now, I promise, I let your mum know you were staying here for a couple of days, but didn’t tell her about the accident as I didn’t wish to worry her.’’

‘’I’m staying here?’’

They were the only words that I could manage to get out. Thinking back to when I thought id died, I realised I must have just passed out. Was I being delusional? Did I really tell him I loved him?

‘’ yes, that’s if you want to.’’ he questioned me with a strained expression ‘’I thought that you would like some space ‘’

I brought up my guard, space for when he let me down slowly, telling me id hallucinated and made the whole thing real only to me.

‘’ I don’t need space’’ I snapped.

‘’ I wasn’t making sense with what I was saying, sorry for the embarrassment’’

getting up I made my way over to the bed.

I felt my cheeks burned red as I looked down, seeing I was wearing only a shirt, I grabbed the duvet I wrapping it around me, immediately feeling more vulnerable.

I could only stare at the carpet below me.

‘’ Alyssa, please don’t say that’’

I could hear him talking to me but the words didn’t make sense, I was using all my power staring into the carpet, trying to hold back the tears.

He reached out to me, holding onto my hands, electricity coursed through my veins as I felt his cool soft touch.
The butterflies started doing summersaults and the tingles spread over my torso even more intense than it ever had been.

‘’ do you feel that?’’ he asked.

‘’ feel what?’’ I mumbled

‘’The attraction…’’ he whispered

Looking up to face him, I could see the seriousness in his eyes. Could I let myself hope that there was something there?

Before I could reply I felt his cool lips touch mine sending sparks through my lips and down my spine. Just for that second, I’d never felt something so amazing.
He pulled away.

I just stared, dumb struck at what just happened. He was looking at me waiting for a response, but I was lost for words. My body seemed to have lost all sense of movement; I just sat there, staring.

‘’ I’m so sor…’’ he started to speak moving away from me, but my body jumped into auto pilot. Throwing my arms around his neck, I pulled him towards me, and then I kissed him.
