Alex held her in his arms, letting her lay her head on his chest. He continued to stroke her head, watching her rise up and down as he breathed. “I know, I like the freedom you get here” he laid with her for a while, it made him feel good have someone with him for the night. “You miss your family, eventually, I leave every couple of months to go back to India and see them, I think that will always be my home”<br/><br/>He didn’t know why he was telling her this; he felt like he could talk to her easily. He didn’t talk about his family a lot, not even with his close friends, probably in an effort to fit in with the people around him. But with this new girl he felt he could act as he wished. He turned his speakers down slightly and laid back with her, looking at ceiling, listening to the music and thinking of his family back home.<br/>
