Weekly Sanity

Chapter 9 - 18th day of August 2013

What was I thinking? He's still a boy. Yeah, he looked innocent. He's a bit afraid of girls. He's got that award winning grin plastered innocently on his cute face. Still! He's still a boy.

I should never let him on my bed. Okay, he didn't do anything. Nothing at all. Absolutely. He went to sleep the moment I told him to. But, he's still- ugh, this is my fault, really. I shouldn't blame anyone except myself.

"Um- Good morning, Chloe. I- uh are you okay?" He said after screaming. Yes, the moment he woke up he screamed on my face. Now, he sheepishly tried to make some distance from me. This made me feel bad at not trusting him at all. Then, why did I ask him that in the park?

"Wha-"

"Did you get any sleep?" he looked worried now. He must thought that I'm blaming him for not getting a second of sleep. I must have looked weird right now. Eyebags, red eyes. I could easily pass off as a Zombie.

"I'm sorry. I—," It was my fault for asking him that last night.

"Hehe... it's nothing. I just can't sleep. I just found that you look really cute when you sleep." That should shut him up. He did just that, shut up, but he didn't go away as I hoped.

"Miles, why don't you go fix yourself some breakfast and I'll go and catch up with some sleep. Oh, and don't wake me up 'til lunch. Play some games if you want, just don't bother me, understand?" he nodded and saluted, I think. I'm so sleepy.

After I closed and locked the door, I jumped on my bed. I stayed on the side of the bed where Miles slept last night. I felt the warmth he left as I felt bad about not trusting him at all. Still, I kind of forced him to do that but I did not trust him at all. Hey, no one can blame me right?

I gave a tired yawn. My mind was blank when I stared at his face all night. My mind was not that tired because it doesn't hurt like it usually does whenever I do an all-nighter. I might have dozed off too, multiple times. Half an hour was probably the longest time.

I thought about again how I asked him to sleep with me last night. Yeah, I didn't intend it to be innocent at all but I can't help myself. Yeah right. I waited six years for that. Yes, six whole years for a wonderful toy I'm going to get.

T-toy? I didn't mean that! It just came out.

What am I talking about?

...

"Chloe!"

"Hey, she's not supposed to wake up until after lunch."

"Shut it! Chloe! Chloe!" Someone's knocking on my door.

10 AM? I guess four whole hours of sleep is enough. A girl's voice, wait, Mel? I completely forgot about her. Is she mad at me for ditching her last Friday? I didn't even bother to call her to apologize. Oh no, so much have happened.

"Mel!" I came bursting from my door and embraced her.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Mel. I didn't mean what I've said last Friday and I forgot to call-"

"Alright, I'm sorry too, I'm not really mad, and etcetera. Actually, I'd rather you explain to me why that boy is being cozy in your living room playing video games." The moment of relief when she said that to me became insignificant as Mel asked me about Miles presence on my place.

The said boy was currently on the living room but I can't hear the sounds of the games he was playing. He either didn't like sounds or he pause the game for some reason.
