Traitorous Love

Chapter 46- Secret Conversations

I honestly don't remember when I fell asleep, but I did. I was pretty much wiped out between the long day and the long night. I do remember that it was the first time I had vivid dreams. They were the weirdest thing, floating people that I don't know, faceless people, but there was one thing that I got from the whole thing when I woke up at 4am: Someone is going to betray me. Where did I get that? I don't know. But when I woke up, I was no longer laying on Keigo. I was covered in a blanket and sleeping in one of his shirts. He must have dressed me, or maybe I put it on? I really don't remember.  

The blanket covering me is nice, like a shield of warmth and happiness that blocks out all the bad shit that happens in the world. It makes me forget all the responsibilities, the duties, and the problems that are going to greet me when I open my eyes in the morning.

"I know, stop getting impatient on me!" A whisper, behind the door. Fury and irritation coat the voice. I take off the warm shield and press my ear against the bathroom door, "No, I told you, I'm going to do it, you don't need to get involved yet," Even though it was hard to hear I could tell Keigo was frustrated and nervous, not only from the irritation in his voice, but also from the heavy breathing, "C'mon," There was a pause, "Alright, fine I'll see you tomorrow,"

I hear the flushing toilet and quickly jump back into bed. Seconds later, Keigo comes out looking distraught, or at least I would assume, considering my eyes were closed. I hear him walking around the bed, his feet shuffling against the hard wood. I will my breathing to slow so he doesn't notice anything, but I can still hear my heart pounding in my ears. 

He gets back into bed and wraps his arms around me taking in a deep breath, "Good morning chickee," His voice is playful now, any sign of irritation or annoyance or maybe even worry was gone. 

"Good morning," I turn around and kiss his cheek. We both hate morning breath. 

"Why are you up so early?" He asks. 

"I could ask you the same thing," I say playfully. 

"Had to use the bathroom. Did I wake you up?"

I shake my head, "No, I usually get up right around this time to get water," I make up the lie. Sometimes lying is the real pleasure. 

"Oh? Then I'll get you some, wait here," Before I could protest and get the water myself, he gets up and leaves the room. His footsteps slowly fade down the hall. Once I'm sure he's gone I scramble out of the sheets and lunge for his phone, sitting across the room. 

Who was he talking too?

I turn on the phone, only to be met with a password. Fuck. I don't have much time. I tried the normal and cliche passwords (1111, 0000, 1234 etc) but nothing worked. I heard his steps padding up the stairs.  

I quickly set the phone down, making sure that it was in the same position and dove on to the bed. I played my head into the pillow and covered my body with the blanket. My back was sweating as and I could feel the beads of sweat falling down my back. 

 I feel the bed sink, "Hey," he pats my head, "I got you the water,"

I turn my head and sit up, "Thanks," I grab the water and hungrily drink it down, the cool liquid seeping down my throat. My back instantly cooled, "We should go back to sleep," I said, nodding towards the clock, "it's a Monday tomorrow,"

Keigo nods and I scoot over giving him room to get in bed. He bigs spoons me, wrapping his arms around my waist. His breathing slows, and I know he's asleep, especially when there is a slight snore. It's cute. 

I decided to enjoy this moment instead of thinking about the future.

Sorry for the shorter chapter, just felt like getting straight to the point instead of  bullshitting a bunch of stuff
