Electricity - Alex Turner

38. Mad sounds

Soft kisses on the back of my neck woke me up. I saw nothing but an unknown room. Warm hands were wrapped around my body, making me feel safe.

"Al?" I whispered.

No response.

I turned around and saw a sleeping Alex. I smiled and stared at him. His hair was a beautiful mess, his eyes closed and his lips a bit puckered.

I slowly removed his arms and stood up. A familiar scent quickly filled my nostrils and I looked down at my shirt, remembering that I was wearing Alex's shirt.

I went to the toilet and then I washed my face with water. I looked in the mirror and I saw that my hair was now wavy. I left the small bathroom and looked immediately at Alex. He was now sprawled on the bed. I leaned on the doorframe and giggled quietly.

"Bella?" He mumbled in his sleep.

"Yes?" I replied with a smile on my face, even though he couldn't see it.

"Come back to bed." He said and patted on the mattress and I giggled and sat back on the bed.

"I'm here." I smiled.

I started playing with his fluffy hair, curling it with my fingers. I scratched his head gently and pulled it back as it was sitting messily on his forehead.

"Mmm, I love this." He whispered. He placed one hand on my thigh and brushed it with his thumb. He quickly removed his hand and he opened his eyes. "Fuck. I'm so sorry."

"For what?" I asked confused.

"I didn't asked you before I put me hand on your thigh. I'm sorry." He quickly said and I widened my eyes.

"Al, are you kidding?" I asked.

"Why would I be kidding? I'm afraid that you're not comfortable enough with me, touching you." He said.

"I love you so much." I said honestly.

I bent down and kissed his head multiple times and I accidentally fell over him which made us both laugh. I placed my hands on his neck and kissed his cheek. I placed my head on his chest and he placed his hands on my back, drawing circles with his fingers.

"We either kiss or I'll throw you on the other side of the bed." Alex joked, making me laugh.

"First option." I grinned against his neck and pulled away.

We crashed our lips together and a faint taste of cigarettes tickled my tongue. Alex cupped my cheeks, deepening our kiss. I pulled a bit to catch my breath but I quickly started to place multiple kisses on his lips, making him smile.

"Erm, can you move a bit?" He asked and I frowned. "You're kinda sitting on my-"

"Oh my god!" I gasped and moved quickly. "Sorry." I chuckled.

"You're so beautiful." He said and I smiled. "You should wear me clothes more often."

I looked down at my shirt, "Yeah, I should." I chuckled. "I should give it back to you, though. You can't leave...Like this." I said and he smirked a bit.

"Why not? Would you get jealous that other girls will see me like this?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"No." I shook my head.

"Admit it." He said and I shook my head again.

"Absolutely not." I said.

He placed his head on my shoulder and moved my hair on the side, placing a kiss behind my ear. "Say it." He whispered in my ear and I gulped.
