Delilah

12-Sleepover Part Two

It happened again. 

Rolling over I open my eyes. I am back in Cole's bed. 

Yep I remember falling asleep in his car and I guess instead of taking me back to the dorm he took me back here. 

Sitting up I peer over the railing. 

Cole is laying on the couch on his stomach. 

Oh gosh he's shirtless. I notice there aren't any tattoos on his back, except one sort of on his left shoulder blade.

From up stairs I can't quite make out what it is though. Looking down I realize I am still in my costume from last night. 

Grabbing the hair tie from my wrist I throw my hair in to a ponytail before searching my bag for my phone. 

Finding it I open up messenger. 

Jasmine had texted me letting me know she was safe. I put my phone back in my bag before making my way down stairs. 

I wasn't quite sure what my plan was. Do I wake him? Let him sleep and leave? I didn't have my car which meant I would have to call a cab. Honestly I just needed to change this dress was killing me. 

I really don't know how I slept last night. I could be that Cole's bed is super comfy, I might need to ask him what mattress that it. 

Not that it matters I am stuck sleeping on the mattress in the dorms anyways. Still I guess for future reference. Like is it some kind of memory foam. 

I am almost down the stairs when my dress starts to ride up. As I pull it down I miss a step on the stairs. 

Oh great. 

I tumble down the stairs waking Cole up in the process. 

Well so much for leaving and calling a cab. 

"Shit." Cole says making his way over to me. I stand up pulling down my dress, "I'm fine promise."

My butt bone was definitely not fine. Pretty sure I broke that thing. 

Cole looks at me then the purse in my hand, "Were you sneaking out on me?" He gasps, mouth wide. 

I roll my eyes, "Yes." I say and he quirks an eyebrow, "What is my bed not comfy enough?"

It's too comfy actually. 

"No my dress is not comfy, I need to get home and change." I say and he nods, "Wanna borrow something of mine?"

Of course I do, who wouldn't want to wear his t-shirt. Especially when it smells like him.

"Sure." I answer holding back my enthusiasm. 

We walk up stairs and he hands me a shirt. I throw it on and the two of us head down stairs. 

Cole asks me if I want to stay for breakfast and I agree. He makes a killer omelet. 

I watch him cook it and he's shirtless. 

Yep and his six pack and tattoos are on full display. He has a few tattoos on his chest, and one on the right side of his ribs. 

I wonder what his chest would feel like under my hands....stop it Delilah. 

He plates the food and we begin eating. I try to stay focused on my omelet instead of the man in front of me. 

I really need to get a grip.

"You know it's officially November. What are your plans for Thanksgiving?" I ask trying to distract myself.

Cole looks up from his food, "Oh I'll go to my dads house, and spend thanksgiving with him, my step mom, Amber and Lucas. What about you?"

"My brother Cal comes here usually if he can make it." He nods not asking the question I know that's on his mind.

I've told him I don't like going home, but I never told him why. Hopefully he doesn't think I'm afraid of airplanes.

"I'm not afraid of airplanes." I blurt. He gives me a confused look, "I never said you were shortcake."

I smile, "Just making sure you know I am not scared of airplanes, not one bit. They are super calming actually." 

Oh gosh he probably thinks I'm crazy. 

I fiddle with the hem of his shirt. I should steal this one too. The other one I 'accidentally' stole is in my closet. I wear it sometimes to bed. Why are his shirts so comfy? That's the real question. 

Also why does he own so many black shirts. I have only ever seen him wear four colors. Black, white, grey, and blue. 

The blue was a one time thing though, I never saw it again. 

"Do you want me to give you a ride back to the dorms?" He asks and I realize he has a shirt on.

When did that happen?

I nod sliding off the stool. Grabbing my bag we head out to his car. 

He drives me back and I thank him for well everything. 

"Thank you for giving me a ride last night, letting me stay at your place, making breakfast, and driving me home this morning." That is a lot of thank you's. 

He winks, "Anytime shortcake." 

Like usual he waits until I am inside before driving off. 

I race up to my room before anyone can see I am only in a shirt and underwear. 

Once I am in the room, I finally take a look at myself in the mirror. 

My eyeshadow is smeared and so is my red lipstick. 

Oh gosh Cole saw me like this. He was probably laughing so hard in his head looking at me. 

Groaning I throw myself onto my bed. 

Looking over I see Jasmine's bed is empty. Weird. 

Well not really I mean she did leave with Kai. I knew they weren't just 'friends.'

I grab the things I need and head to the bathrooms. I take a quick shower before heading back to my room.

Cal calls later so I want to get some Gotham in before then. 

After I change into some warm clothes I get under the covers and pull out my computer. 

Just as the episode begins my phone vibrates. Grabbing it I realize it's a message from Cole. 

Colebeans: Are you doing anything after your classes tomorrow?

I swear he texts all formal. 

Me: no why?

Colebeans: I want to take you somewhere.

Me: are you going to take me to the woods and kidnap me?

Colebeans: Yes, that is my exact plan.

Me: great see you tmrw

Putting my phone back on my nightstand I start the episode of Gotham up. Reaching into the drawer I pull out my chocolate covered gummy bears.
