I CAN'T SLEEP

That's it. I am getting up. I restlessly get up from the bed and instantly jump by abruptly viewing Shawn sleeping on the couch. What the? Is he now guarding me? Ugh.

I had another argument with him saying this time, I am definitely not sharing the bed with him. I shared in my apartment solely because I only had one room. This time, there are atleast twenty other bedrooms in this whole house or mansion. Whatever, if he wants to sleep on the couch, then he can. I do not care.

Okay, I care. I couldn't help but notice how uncomfortable he looked...I feel bad seeing him sleeping on the couch, without any blanket. The frustrating fact is that, he has a huge house and yet he wants to stay in the same room as me. I get the blanket from my bed and place it on the top of his body. His body immediately responds as he hugs the sheet unconsciously. The innocence in his sleeping posture made me want to stare at him lovingly.

"You've fooled me once with that muffin face. not anymore!" I scold the sleeping body. I shake my head at myself for my stupidity. I decided that I will just walk around the house for a bit until I am sleepy. Sneaking around the house, with my jaw dropped, I couldn't help but wonder how can someone live in this place alone? It would be so much more fun if he shared with his family.

As I just walk around the house, I find this room that was connected to one of the terrace balconies. I find myself getting surprised again, but this time in a good way. There were a guitar and a little keyboard at the corner of the giant terrace-like balcony. There was a tiny table with a notebook placed on it. Everything in this house had something extra and expensive, but this is the only place where everything was just plain simple and normal. The view outside showed the beach and the sky full of stars, which instantly took my breath away.

Sudden part of me had this sudden urge to drag Shawn here when he plays the guitar under the night full of mesmerizing stars. But, my ego takes over my simple desire and buries them deep inside my heart.

But no lie the view is gorgeous. suddenly get the urge to go to the beach. I whine at my thoughts as by knowing Shawn, he will never allow me to step outside the house. However, what about my wishes.

A grin takes over my face as I find a slide which started from the balcony to the outside of the house; in his yard. I squeal before sliding down excitedly. As soon as my feet touch the soil realize I was barefoot. Well, who cares? The yard was pretty too, but what was prettier? the beach

My mouth opens and closes once in a while. Usually, I would've been scared to come anywhere by myself at night. But the beautiful scenery takes all of my guilt away. I lie down on the sand and just stare at the sky. It was simply marvellous, and I wanted nothing more than just to sob at the beautiful scenario.

The sky full of stars were glistening cheekily, distributing the velvety light that was doing wonders to the beach. In the gentle spring breeze, my eyes fall close comfortably as the sound of the waves was music to my ears. Throw my narrowed I eyes, I observe the waves gently overlapping with each other, sending the almost white glistening vibes, and sand back to the blue water. I sit up and let a calming sigh escape my mouth. I desperately needed this alone time for my internal peace.
