Him & I

Chapter 27

❃ ❃ ❃

Waking up next to Kyle feels better every day. I get to see his sleepy face and touch his soft curls every morning. Just staring at him is very healing for my soul.

I remember falling asleep in his arms on the couch but we're on his bed now. I guess he carried me again. I remember, he once carried me to his bed when we weren't together.

He was so rude back then but he still let me sleep on his bed. He even slept next to me and I was so shocked when I woke up and saw him the next morning.

I wonder if he liked me back then. I don't think he did. It seems so long ago. I didn't know then that I'd fall madly in love with him. I don't regret falling for him because right now I'm happy.

It's early but I can't sleep anymore. Kyle is still sleeping and I don't want to wake him up. I look at him one last time before getting up and head to the bathroom to get ready.

When I'm done getting ready I head downstairs to make breakfast. Eggs, bacon and pancakes. Nothing better for breakfast than this. And some cereal too, if he wants to eat it. Also some orange juice for vitamin C.

When I'm done with preparing the table and the food I walk upstairs to Kyle's room. He's still sleeping and I sit next to him on the bed.

My boy is beautiful.

"Wake up sleepy head"- I say softly. He frowns and opens his eyes slowly. When he sees me his expression softens and a small smile appears on his face. He rubs his sleepy eyes with his hand.

"Good morning"- I say caressing his cheek. -"Morning"- he yawns. -"Are you ready to get up"- I ask and he nods slowly. I place a soft kiss on his bare shoulder before getting up.

Before I can walk away he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me onto him. -"I thought you were ready to get up"- I say as he buries his face on my neck.

"I wanna stay like this now"- he says, his hot breath on my neck. We stay like this for a few minutes and then I speak again. -"Let's get up now, the food is going to get cold"- I say.

"Don't wanna"- he responds wrapping his arms tighter around me. I love this playfull side of him. Sometimes he's just like a baby. -"What should I do to make you get up?"- I ask and his eyes light up as a smirk appears on his lips.

It took me a lot of hugs and forehead kisses to convince him to get up but I made it.

We ate breakfast and he's now helping me clean the table. As I put the plates on the sink my phone starts ringing. -"It's my mom"- I say taking my phone in hand and Kyle nods.

"Hey mom"- I answer. -"Hi honey, how are you?"- I hear her ask through the small device. -"I'm alright and you?"- I continue our conversation as Kyle cleans the counter.

"I'm okay. I'm calling to let you know that I'm visiting. I'm actually on my way right now. I'll be there in an hour"- she informs me and I freeze in place. -"Why so suddenly?"- I ask sounding concerned.

"Well I want to check up on you since your sister is on vacation. I know you're staying with Kyle but you can invite him over tonight. I'd like to see him again and have a chat with him"- she speaks and I look towards him.

He's staring at me with a raised eyebrow. Probably wondering what we're talking about. -"Do you.. know..?"- I don't continue what I want to say and she catches on immediately.

"About you two? Of course I know honey. But I was surprised that your sister had to tell me about it since you wouldn't"- she says sounding hurt.
