Roommates, with nightmares

16

Tyler's POV

I don't want to move from this position. Yet I kinda do, because it's giving me a slight boner. Max is laying on top of me with arm lying on my chest and under my arm. My arm is wrapped around her neck lightly.

One of her legs is on top of mine while the other is beneath the same one and on top of the other. My legs are separated with her in between them. Then only one question comes to mind.

How did we end up like this?

Who knows, and for me, who cares?! Because I'm sure not complaining. I look over at her face and she's sound asleep. It's a Monday morning and we both have to get to class. But I think I'll just wait until she wakes up before moving anywhere. Cause I could get used to this. Although I know max is gonna kill me if I say that.

If only she knew I liked her.

I'm not so sure she likes me back though. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's jut now becoming my friend in her mind. I need to fasten thins up a bit. But how?

Then....an idea hits me.

Max's POV

I woke up to see Tyler's face right near mine. I feel my face heat up and he smirks. Then I notice our position.

I think I'm going to die.

I look like I'm humping his leg! Like, what the fuck? He probably thinks I'm some slutty hoe now.

"Morning, sleeping beauty." he whispers. I try calming my face down before saying something. "is that the princess I am?" I ask, my voice a little scratchy. He smiled. "Yep. And sleeping beauty needs to be awaken by a kiss, so pucker up."

I push him away, laughing slightly and stand up beside the bed. He rolls over and smirks at me, sitting up on the bed and glaring at me. His hair is everywhere and I'm so tempted to laugh. "You should just see your hair." He says.

I frown and touch my head. It doesn't feel messy, but I'm sure it is, I'm a really heavy sleeper. I roll my eyes and pick up my phone. I see that I still have forty I've minutes before my first class starts.

"Well I'm going to get ready, so go do whatever." I tell him. He smiled and hoped out of bed. "Hurry up, because I need to talk to you about something." He says.

I question him and he just shakes his head and grabs a change of cloths before heading to the bathroom.

That was weird.

I put it away and quickly throw on some shorts and a AC DC shirt before getting on some flip flops. I brush and straighten my hair so the frizz is gone, then get all my stuff together and put it in my book bag. Phone, headphones, sunglasses, books, papers, and some other essential stuff.

I go to the kitchen and throw it in a chair before sitting in one of my own. Tyler has already gotten dressed and fixed his hair. He's wearing a tight white tank top with a plaid over shirt, kinda like the one I was wearing the other day.

He's also got on some jean shorts that stop at his knees and I can't help but stare at him. He looks...... hot. like......... fucking sexy.

Stop that, max. stop it right now. He doesn't like you, so don't like him. You CAN'T like Tyler Colton. You just can't. He's one of those guys who is a player and has sex with any girl he wants. Probably why he hasn't tried it with me yet. Because he doesn't want me.

Not that I care.....

Okay, I'm sounding like one of those teenage girls in movies. Drooling over the hot guy thy will never get, but then he secretly likes them.

Except Tyler doesn't 'like' me. He may think I'm hot, or cute, or whatever, but Tyler Colton doesn't 'like' girls. But I can't judge people.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked. He grabbed to mugs from the Cabinet and fills them both full of coffee before handing one to me. He sighs and runs a hand, nervously through his hair.

"Okay, well first off, I know we both haven't slept the last week. And I know why......... me and you have nightmares. Bad ones. Ones that we can't go back to sleep with after we have them."

"Yea, tell me something I don't know." I say. He shakes his head and holds up a finger. "I wasn't done. Every time you wake up with the nightmare, have you ever been able to go back to sleep BEFORE you came here?" He asks.

Where is he going with this?

"No. The first time that i was able to go back to sleep after having a nightmare was when you slept with me." I answer. He half smiles. "exactly. It's the same with me. I've never been able to sleep after waking up with a nightmare until you came along. And the past week I haven't either. I know you haven't also. So that's where I came to a conclusion." he says.

Somehow, I only think he's getting started. And I'm scared to see how it ends. But I nod anyways, telling him to continue. "I've came up with a deal. To make sure we can both sleep. Because I'm very, very tired. Anyway, the deal is, that we have to sleep together to get through the nightmares. As we've already been doing, Except we get in bed together when we go to bed the first time, not when we wake up screaming."

I guess he could tell I was about to disagree, because he put a finger up and said "bup, bup, bup, let me finish. If one disagrees to sleep with the other person one night, then the other person gets anything they want from the one who disagreed. Anything. Like....say you didn't want to sleep with me, I could steal anything of yours....... Like your thong." He smirks.

"How do you know about that?!" I yell. He laughs and shakes his head. "You've got to learn to keep things more private, princess. anyway, what do you think?"

I sighed. I sure haven't been able to sleep the past week. I have had more nightmares than on elm Street. There are bags under my eyes as dark as the night sky. And I'm falling asleep in class. I mean, I've already slept with him for what..... three nights now? Maybe more.

I guess...... it wouldn't be THAT bad, would it? I need my beauty sleep. But if I DO agree to this, I need my ground rules. So that's exactly what I tell him.

"You can't do any funny business." I say, pointing at him.

"Is that a yes?"

"You can't touch me in any inappropriate places without my permission."

"Is that a yes?"

"And you can't tell ANYONE." I finish. He smiled and repeated once again; "is that a yes?" I sigh and hold out my hand. "Yes." I say. He grasped my hand and we shake on it.

"Deal."
