you're okay

Chapter 7

I stared at the clock on the wall as I stuffed sushi in my mouth.

Mike smiled and tilted his head to the side.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing you sure you've never had sushi before?" He scratched the side of his head.

"I'm sure, but i'm glad i tried it. I'm in love." I then grabbed a noodle from the box and slurrped it into my mouth.

I picked a piece of sushi up with chopsticks and placed my hand under it as i held it up to Mike's mouth.

"Eat it."

"Ooo is that a demand?" Mike said before eating the sushi off the chopsticks.

"Mmm." He moaned.

"I never thought fish could taste so good." I laughed.

After I ate, Mike took me upstairs.

"Here is the guest bedroom." Mike opened up the dresser drawers.

"You can put your clothes in here and in the wardrobe. Okay?" He walked back over to me. I nodded my head with a shy smile.

"I'll let you get to it." He walked out shutting the door.

I started unpacking my things and then took a shower after getting settled in.

Once I got back to my room, I sat in my bed waiting for tiredness to take over my body. I was sleepy but I couldn't seem to fall asleep.

I sighed and turned to my side pulling the covers over my body. I closed my eyes still feeling nothing.

After I groaned to myself, I quickly stood up and left my bedroom.

Mike looked over as I opened his door. He had the tv and his lamp on.

"Sam? What's wrong? Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes I- I can't sleep."

"Oh." He said before he gave a soft smile.

"And the bed in the guest room isn't comfortable." I added.

"Oh it's not?" He said.

I shook my head.

"Well come here." He lifted the covers and patted next to him.

I walked over and sat down, pushing my legs under the covers. "Thank you." I nodded at him.

"Anything for my dear Samantha." I faced him when I laid down and slapped his chest.

"Stop calling me that!" We both chuckled and he started changing the channel on the tv.

"Got anything specific you want to watch?" He asked.

"Just put on some movie from netflix." I said.

"Okay." He nodded and laid down.

After a couple minutes, I finally started to drift off to sleep.

-

I slowly opened my eyes as the bed shook.

"Mike.." I said quietly.

I looked over at Mike shifting in the bed with sweat on his forehead.

"Mike, are you okay?" I tried to shake him awake.

"Mike, Mike?" I said a little louder. He jolted up and hit my head.

"Ow."

"Are you okay? What is it?" He asked.

"You were moving a lot in your sleep and you're sweating."

"Oh." He laid back down.

"I don't think any normal human being wouldn't have nightmares after the lodge." He said.

"Yeah. Are you okay though? You've never done this in your sleep with me before." I said.

"I know, i'm fine. Sorry if I scared you. Let's go back to sleep." He said. I nodded and laid back down.

Mike pulled me in a little closer this time.

"Good night." He closed his eyes.

"Good night Mike."

-

In the morning, I woke up to Mike fast sleep, all I could hear was his breathing.

I leaned in closer and placed my head on his chest.

He started to move so I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Sam?" He petted my head.

"Sam wake up." He lifted my head and looked at me so I smiled.

"You aren't asleep!" He said laughing loudly.

"Good morning." I opened my eyes and sat up on my knees.

Mike laughed again.

"Hello."

"What would you like to do today?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know."

"Well let's start with breakfast." He started to roll out of bed and I moved out of his way.

"Bacon and eggs?" He asked.

"Mm how about left over Chinese?" He looked back at me with a confused look.

"Sure."

I could get used to this. Going to sleep feeling safe. Waking up feeling safe. Oh yeah, and living in a huge house that I could literally run laps in!

Mike and I got out the chinese and finished eating the rest of it.

Mike hummed, "That was delicious. Didn't think you were the morning leftovers type." He chuckled.

"Oh, I definitely am." I nodded with a laugh back.

"If it's okay with you, Ashley and Chris want to redo last night with just us." He said placing his fork down.

"Yeah. We can do that." I lifted one of my knees up to my chest.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah."

Mike's smile grew. "Thanks."

"Of course."

"Until then, have anything in mind that you wanna do?" He picked up his cup of tea.

"We could go to the mall.. or-"

The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Mike stood up.

"Jess... what are you doing here?" I ran into the dinning room to listen closer.

"FedEx was dropping this off. What is it?" She asked.

"None of your business. Now why are you here?" Mike asked.

"I'm sorry about last night okay? I still like you though Mikey."

"Well, i'm over you. Good bye."

"Is it because of Sam? Huh?"

"Bye Jessica." I heard the door shut.

"You can come out now."

I stepped out from behind the wall.

"Your phone is here." He handed me the small package.

"Thank you." I grabbed the box from his hand.

I set up my phone for about an hour and then we headed to the mall.
