As soon as we lie down I immediately intertwine my legs with his as he drops his hand over my thigh. I quickly fall asleep, mentally drained from earlier.

I jerk awake sweating from another nightmare. I look at my watch to see only an hr had passed. I don't want to wake him so I try to just close my eyes and go back to sleep, but as soon as I close my eyes my nightmare starts swimming around in my head again. I open my eyes and quietly stare at the ceiling trying to get rid of the horrid image.

As I'm staring at the ceiling trying to erase my nightmare from my memory I feel him throw an arm around me. I'm not sure if he's awake or not but it really feels comforting and my erratic, nervous breathing finally starts to return to normal. I figure we could talk about this after we officially wake up from our nap.

Or at least I can ask him if I woke him up and apologize if necessary.

He didn't make much of last night after I asked him. He just told me he felt my thigh jiggling in his hand so he put this arm around me to make me feel safe and protected. After a moment of silence he added that I should have woken him up any time I need comfort or my tears taken care of; any time, any day, any place. He then dropped his hand on my thigh making it jiggle.

"I appreciate it, really. But you've been so good to me already I didn't want to disturb your sleep too." I said almost shyly. "Besides it was just another nightmare and I don't even remember what it was about." I finished trying to reassure him.

He gives me a comforting smile and tells me it doesn't matter if it's just a nightmare he's still here for me, big or small he doesn't judge. He then gets up to prepare breakfast for us.

After a few min of waking up I go get changed before joining him in the kitchen. For once I want him to see me when I'm not looking like a mess. I then go into the kitchen and sit at the table while he finishes preparing breakfast.

I figured I'd surprise him in shorts. I'm really trying to break out of my comfort zone. I really want to start seeing myself the way others do. A few min after I sit down he finishes cooking and sits down next to me. He motions me to scoot my chair closer. I happily scoot my chair quite a bit closer as he serves us the eggs, toast, sausages and coffee he had prepared. He mentioned he wanted to make sure I ate a decent meal after going to bed without eating anything last night.
