Magical Love

"Your home." I said softly, and I started the engine, and I backed out, and drove him to his house. I pulled into the parking lot and I opened the door for him and helped him out.

I chuckled and stop tickling her, and I kissed her temple softly. "That woke you up." I said in her ear, kissing it.before standing up and rubbing my eyes. Seeing we had power, that was nice.

I stared at the sandy beach between the parking lot and my shack and I sighed. This would be hard. I stuck my crutches deep into the sand, taking the first step. It was hard and I got close to falling, but I gotta the door and opened it,"Ladies first..."

I reached and pulled him back,"Staaayyyy..."

I quickly helped him recover from a near fall, and when he opened the door, I smiled faintly, an walked in slowly, closing the door behind him. "Sit." I said. I didnt want him getting hurt.

I chuckled, and I laid back down, pulling her so her chest was against mine firmly "Yes?" I said slowly, kissing her face in multiple places, just being silly

"I'm okay, love,"I said, leaning in and kissing her cheek,"Let me get used to the place again, alright?"

I grinned and grabbed him by the chin, kissing him slowly and tenderly.

I smiled when I felt his warm lips graze my cheek. "Alright.. But I'm staying for a bit.. I mean, I just want to help if you need it." I said, and I took his hand, giving it a gentle caring squeeze.

A smile tugged on my lips when we kissed, my hand running down her side and squeezing her hip playfully. "How did you sleep?" I asked, slowly pulling back from the sweet kiss.

"I want you here,"I said, pulling her closer to me,"I really appreciate your help."

"It was okay,"I sat up and sighed softly,"I have a lot of energy ..."

"Anything for you.. I mean anything." I said, kissing his cheek, and cuddling up to his warm body. He was so gentle, and sweet.. he didnt deserve this. Losing his leg is terrible.. and it upset me. That I couldnt have jumped in the water and helped him..

"Just okay? And how about.. we... go out? On a run or something." I said, maybe it could help burn some energy.

"Do you mind if we go sit on the beach? I miss being out there,"I said softly, sighing. This was hard. Really hard. And sometimes I felt smothered... But she was doing it because she loves me... And I would never want to lose that.

"Sure,"I said with a nod, shooting out of bed,"I felt so jittery..."

"Of course." I said, glancing outside. It was sunset. Beautiful perfect time to do so. I helped him up, and outside. And just walked by him and made sure he didnt fall with the crutches ans sand. "Just.. let me know if you ever want space. I just want to make sure you dont hurt yourself." I said softly. Cause I had been around him alot. I didnt want to make him think I was clingy or a crazy girlfriend.

My eyes widened at how she jumped up, and was ready to go. "Damn, I wish I was like that." I said, standing, and getting dressed, still a bit tired. And there she was, she could probably run miles, and be fine.

"Sit with me,"I said, lowering myself to the ground and embracing her into my arms, feeling more at home in the sand with the water close and salt in the air,"I couldn't imagine living through this without you. You are an amazing help, and I appreciate you looking out for me. Okay?"

"Can we please just go? Please?"I was jumping on my toes, swinging my arms.

"Okay.. I will always be here.." I said softly, then nodded, and I kissed him softly then pulled back, looking back at the water, then the sunset. I grabbed some sand, and just let it run through my fingers, really loving how soft it was.

"Okay, okay." I said, putting my hands on her shoulders to stop her from jumping. "Calm." I said, "Deep breaths." I teased, not able to keep a straight face. "Come on, ill race you to the end of the path." I said, running out the door

"Still want me to teach you how to swim?"I asked softly, watching the sand as the grains slipped out of her grasp, mesmerized.

I bolted out the door, not a lightening speed, but at the fastest rate in which my legs could carry.

I looked up at him. Surprised at his question. I glanced at his leg, then back up at his eyes. "I-I.. dont know.. still sounds very. Scary to me." I said, picking up another handful of the sand, moving it from one hand to another, just mindlessly.

When she passed me, I was shocked. Ive never seen her un to fast. I picked my speed up, and I still couldnt catch her. "God.. damn!" I yelled, breathing heavily, then I stopped, leaning over, my lungs on fire.

"Just a pool... You would be able to touch the bottom,"I said, smiling softly, taking her hand, capturing the sand between our palms.

I turned around and realized he had stopped, running over and grinning, not even out of breath,"Jeez, old man. What's wrong?"

"Can you.. still swim though?" I asked, looking up at him, my cheeks getting a bit red. Then I let the sand fall between our hands.

"Shush.." I said, coughing. "Weve ran for about half a mile now." I said, looking up at her. "Youre still not tired?"

"I'm going to learn,"I said with a sigh, looking down at the stump of my leg. I shook my head,"The beach is my life. I can't stop living because this happened to me... Plus, the doctor said it would help me relearn my balance, strengthen my muscles... We will both learn,"I said as I looked up at her.

I shook my head softly,"Not at all... I feel fine."

His attitude was amazing about all of this. I was so proud of him I nodded, and I kissed his cheek softly. "Okay.. we will, and I know you can do it." I said, smiling slightly.

"Christ.." I said, remembering I had forgotten my inhaler. Stupiiiid. "Lets go back. Im walking though." I said, and turned around and began to head back

I sighed softly and nodded,"I'm sure as hell going to try,"I said as I stared out at the water. Would I ever go out there again? Surf? Swim? I couldn't help but doubt... My leg was gone...

I walked beside him for a little while, worried. He didn't look well,"Want me to get you some water?"

"I know you will." I said, and when he looked out at the water, I saw a flash of hurt in his eye, and I rested my head on his shoulder.. the sunset was so beautiful tonight..

"Im okay. We are." I paused, and coughed. "Almost there." I said, I felt light headed. But I was good- as of now.

The next couple of days were slow.. She had to work and I stayed at home, trying to adjust. Things like showers seemed impossible... Doing dishes of folding laundry, I always had one hand on a crutch.

I watched him until we got in the door, his face looking better,"You shouldn't have pushed so hard.."

The days at work stressed me out so much. And I just coukdnt wait to head back home. But before that, I swung by Chipotle and got us some burritos and I headed to his house, sending him a quick text. I knocked on his door, then headed in.

"Im fine." I repeated, and I got a glass of water, and took a puff of my inhaler. Then put it back. "So embarrassing." I mumbled. Thats hot, a guy with an inhaler.

"Hey,"I said softly, looking up at the door from my spot on the floor, stretching.

I smiled and pulled him close to me, kissing her softly.

"I have chipotlee." I sang, and I sat beside him on the ground, and I handed him his burrito. "Your favorite." I said, and I kissed him gently.

She caught me off guard a bit, but my lips quickly molded to hers, andi kissed her back sweetly, my hands finding her waist.

I held the kiss a bit longer than usual, slowly pulling away and kissing her forehead,"Thanks." We were forced, in a way, to get truly comfortable with one another. We gave kisses and cuddles but nothing intimate... Who would want this with them anyways? Half a leg?

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my body to his sweetly.

I leaned against him gently as I unwrapped my burrito and tpok a bite. Heaaaven. "How was your day?" I asked him. I couldnt help but start to think this all had made us both closer, and distant. I was really starting to fall in love with him. But I felt I was being blocked out in a way.

I gently pressed her to the counter, kissing her lovingly. "I love you.." I said softly as I pulled away, and kissed her forhead.

"Slow,"I said with a shrug, biting into my own burrito,"What about yours? Catch any bad guys?"

"I love you, too,"I said with a grin, kissing his neck gently.

"A couple. So stressed out.. I have the next couple days off." I said, and I looked up at him as he took a bite.

I smiled, and I squeezed her sides gently. "Im going to go take a shower." I said

"Come stay with me... Here. What's more relaxing than the beach?"I asked, raising an eyebrow,"We can hang out, unplug, have some romantic time..."

"Alright, I'm going back out to run,"I said as I kissed his cheek.

I looked up, that clearly getting my attention. "Really? That sounds.. amazing. Something we both need." I said, and I finished my burrito. Or what I could eat, and threw it away, planting myself back beside him.

"But.. showers are very lonley.." I said, sticking my bottom lip out.

"What do you want to do first?"I asked softly, raising an eyebrow with a playful grin. I was happy she agreed.

I rose an eyebrow, giggling,"Oh really?"

"The beach? I love the feel of the sand. Its always relaxing." I said, my smile growing. I was so happy. This would be a great couple days. With the man I was falling deeply in love with.

"Yes." I said. "Pweeassee." I begges

"Alright, I'll grab a blanket and we will go lay by the water,"I said with a smile, pulling myself up and grabbing my crutch.

I laughed, the look on his face making me giggle,"Okay, I will come with you."

I smiled, and I got comfortable clothes on, my work ones very formal and heavy. When he came back, I took the blanket, and I placed a kiss on his cheek before heading to the door, excited.

"Lets go." I said, biting my lip, I took her hand and lead her to the bathroom. I began to undress once in, just in my boxers as I turned on the water.

We walked- well, she walked and I hobbled down to the shore line, laying out the blanket and sitting down,"Come here..."

I striped down slowly, to the nude, and I smiled at him,"You are so attractive... I ever tell you that?"

I smiled at his soft words, and I sat beside him, and I pressed my lips to his sweetly, and lovingly, my hand finding its way to cup his cheek.

I smiled and I nodded, slipping my boxers off. "Plenty of times." I said, then kissed her lips before stepping in. "Come here sexy thing."

I kissed her back, softly, slowly. I pulled her closer and out my hand over hers, enjoying her feeling.

I chuckled as he said sexy and I stepped in, closing the curtain behind me.

I pulled away slowly, and looked back into his eyes. "You.. know I care about you a lot, right?" I asked gently, looking down.

I pulled her to me, and kissed her passionately, my hands running down her back, teasingly grabbing her butt.

I reached up and tilted her chin up so she was looking at me,"Of coarse I do, my love, of coarse I do."

I giggled against his lips before running my tongue past them and frenching him slowly.

I smiled. "Good." I said, before pressing my lips to his sweetly, lovingly, I intertwined our fingers, and gave his hand a squeeze.

I chuckled, and I pressed my tongue to hers, her kisses very intoxicating. She was amazing.. I pressed her back to the shower wall, taking her wrists and pinning them by her head playfully

I pulled her into my lap and smiled, rubbing her thighs slowly,"And you know I care about you very deeply, right?"

I felt butterflies in my stomach and I grinned, kissing him a bit deeper as the water slicked up our bodies.
