Unfair | Cindy Berman

ᴠɪɪ: ᴜsᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪs

Tomorrow started Color war. Everything was cleaned and ready, and surprisingly we got everything done very quickly so we had the rest of the day free. Me and Cindy were both sitting by the tree reading. She was between my legs, her back facing my front and my arms around her chest, placing the book in a position so we could both read.

"I could never live like that." Cindy suddenly says.

"Me neither, but at least she has her family and some good people there." I reply.

"Yeah but like, she litterally got her adolescense interrupted...she didn't get to fall in love like a stupid teenager would." She says looking at me, we see each other in the opposite way. Funny.

"But she does fall in love." I say and she frowns. "If you pay attention you can see that she is getting close to Peter." I explain.

"Doesn't Peter like her sister?" She asks, still confused.

"I mean, I don't think so. But she's definitely falling for him, the way she talks about him it's just way different." I say.

"How the hell can you see that?" She asks.

"Cindy, it's literally clear. He's literally the only thing that has been keeping her sane from the situation she is." I pause for a moment. "I would fall in love too."

"Well, I'm sorry I'm not a book nerd like you." She says and I chuckle.

"Just go back to reading love." I reply and I position myself again, I feel her hands touch my legs, doing a back and forth movement. I basically just went in shock, I couldn't move that much because Cindy was literally on top of me so I just stood there, feeling my body temperature rise, this girl is gonna be the death of me.

.-.

It was finally dark, I was sitting at my desk writing some random stuff in my notebook. Cindy was laying in her bed, doing some crochet. The radio was on, but it was low enough so no one would hear it but us. Suddenly «Can't Help Falling in Love» by Elvis Presley started playing.

"Oh my God." I get up from the chair and walk to Cindy.

"What?" She asks but I ignore her and grab her hand, making her face me. I grab both of her arms and put them on my shoulders, while I place my arms around her waist. "What are you doing?" She asks smiling.

"Dance with me." I say. "It's playing Can't Help Falling in Love Cindy, it's obligatory to dance to this song." I continue and she laughs, making me laugh too.

We both dance, very badly but still dance, and I sing. I make her do a spin and she almost falls, but I quickly grab her against me. She looks at me flustered, our gazes changing from our lips to our eyes, she suddenly turns her head and places it on my chest, moving her arms and placing her hands on my chest.

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

The song suddenly stops and we stop too, and stand there for a couple of seconds. I could feel her heart beating fast against my chest, does she feel what I'm feeling right at this moment? I want to kiss you Cindy, I want to tell you how much I care for you and I wanna get into a cliff and scream how much I love you. But I can't.

"We should get to sleep. It's getting late." She suddenly says, breaking from our touch.

"Yeah, I'm really tired." I reply. I turn off the radio and start going under my sheets, Cindy does the same too. I look at her and she's staring at the ceiling, I wonder what she is thinking right now.

"Cassie." 

"Yeah?" I reply.

"Can I sleep with you?" She asks and I stay silent for a moment.

"Of course." I say and she gets up from her bed and gets on mine. I throw my arm against her stomach placing my head on her chest, with my face towards her neck. She places her arm around me, doing a back and forth movement on my back with her hand while her other and is on my arm.

"I know you like this sleeping position, I didn't make you uncomfortable didn't I?" I ask, concerned that I made her feel like that.

"You didn't, don't worry." She says and I feel her smiling, I smile against her neck. She moves her hand from my back to my hair and starts playing with it, I feel my body getting even more relaxed than before, and a moments later I feel myself fall asleep in Cindy's arms.

I could get used to this.
