"Sam! Sam! Samuel!"
I woke with a start, hearing that someone was calling my name.
"Hey Eli. What are you doing up at this time? It's 3 am! All right, did something happen?"
"Sam I... I swear, I didn't want to wake you up, but... t-there's a very strong storm outside, it's been going on for over an hour and it doesn't seem to want to stop... I can't sleep..."
"Come here." I said smiling, making some space for her in my bed.
"You are an angel, thank you, thank you, thank you!" She replied by crouching next to me.
I was going to sleep with her tonight.
I... how do I explain it to you?
I am happier than a happy person.
We're getting closer and closer and my heart can't...
My thoughts were interrupted by loud thunder.
I could hear Elisa on the other side of the bed shaking.
And she was... crying.
Without a minimum of hesitation, I slipped very close to her, wrapped her arm around her thin waist and hugged her.
We were back to chest.
I stroked her hair gently, trying to soothe her.
She was still shivering, but her tears had subsided.
"Hey Eli... I'm here with you, nothing will happen to you. I promise you."
"Sam... t-thanks." Elisa told me after a few minutes of silence, immediately falling into a deep sleep.
"I will never leave you alone Elisa. This is a promise." I whispered leaving her a kiss on her forehead before falling asleep too.
