He Knows

Chapter eighty-five: "He Knows"

I walked to the walk-in closet as I leave Cloud standing in the middle of the room, it was a new feeling that I didn't know existed inside of me it felt like my entire body was warm and my heart raced like I just ran a marathon. We were so close that I was already responding to my fight or flight immediately

Thank goodness the towel was big and thick enough to cover me, I locked the door before proceeding to change into my sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. I have a little secret before I sleep

It's that I always remove my bra and wear oversized t-shirts to cover my upper part especially my breast, it always did the job perfectly because wearing a bra to bed is just uncomfortable to me. Don't get me wrong, my chest is not that big I'm only a C cup anyway so it wouldn't be that obvious
I think

Well, Cloud is not pointing it out so it's not obvious and I checked the mirror every time just to see it, I stepped out of the walk-in closet and kept drying my hair and brushing it. Cloud was on the bed skimming through his sketchbook, he raised his head and saw me walk closer to the bed

I sat on the bed and fixed the pillows on my side "I better sleep early, I'm going to leave tomorrow" when I grabbed the hotdog pillow I slammed my head back on the mountain of pillows behind me. If there is one thing that I appreciate in Cloud's home is that he has a massive amount of pillows that I can just hog all to myself and there will still be a lot left for him

He sets down the sketchbook on the nightstand and right after he removed his sweatshirt showing me his abs and muscular arms, I did get used to seeing him being shirtless before we sleep but I'm still a girl so it was never easy to stop looking at it

"My eyes are up here Angel" he smirked at me

I turned away to look in a different direction and to avoid his proud and mocking smirk "I'm not, it's just aren't you a bit cold when you sleep shirtless? The AC is always on at night when we sleep" I pointed to the AC that is in full blast right now that the entire room is chilly and just the right temperature to cover yourself with a duvet and feel cozy

He laid his back on the mattress and eyed the AC "I'm used to sleeping like this"

I rolled my eyes "Do you even sleep? If you are referring to that 3-hour sleep you just said, that is a nap you fucking doofus" I grabbed one of the pillows behind me and smacked him with it

"Still, I get better naps these days" he smiled while chuckling lowly

"Whatever" I tucked myself under the duvet and moved around to find the perfect sleeping position, we both were shuffling on the bed to sleep soundly but we sound like we were doing something else since the bed frame kept hitting the wall while we shuffle around

"Why is it so hard to sleep right now!" I said loudly to myself, I was tired and yet I can't seem to sleep that it made me frustrated

Cloud gave me the look "First time?"

"Yeah, I don't have this before and I sleep like a bug that is snug in a rug"

Is this what it feels like to be Cloud!? I have so much on my mind right now that it is tiring me but it kept me awake too, I feel like my body and brain are mocking me

I sighed tirelessly "This must be hard for you" Cloud agreed with me and we simultaneously stared up at the ceiling

We were not sleepy and bored right now with the silence between us, I can feel Cloud turn his head and gaze at me from the side. Since he was gazing at me intensely I might as well return it so I look at him and we were now into a staring contest
