Our Second Life

Chapter- 10

Winter POV

When I woke up, I found myself in an unfamiliar room. The room was mostly dark except the night lamp that was dimly glowing in the corner. I quickly tried to check around the surroundings as my vision adjusted - I was not in my room.

My back hurt from the posture in which I fell asleep. So, I tried to get up slowly but then I saw my legs covered under a blanket while there was a pillow supporting my head as it rested on the headboard. Next my eyes fell to a little kid who was practically clutching onto my legs like a koala bear in his sleep.

I was in Ian's room.....

Aiden was peacefully asleep right next to me and he looked awfully cute... But where was Ian ??? I am pretty sure at this moment that he was the one to put blankets over me.

So I slowly got away from Aiden's grip, careful enough not to wake him up and got down from the bed. The door was slightly open and after picking up my phone from the headstand, I made my way to the living room.

The living room was pitch dark except for the light that illuminated from Ian's laptop while he sat on the sofa and worked even during the midnight. His eyes were fixated on the glowing screen and he didn't even notice my presence in the room.

I noticed that he had changed into some comfy shorts and a loose t-shirt while his reading glasses hung at the bridge of his sharp nose. He looked hella sexy in that dim light....

I pretended to clear my throat in order to get his attention. He immediately looked up from his laptop screen and stared into my soul right away.

His eyes had a different glow.

"Oh you woke up....", Ian spoke up in his dusky voice still staring at me with the same intensity.

"Y-Yes... I-I am sorryy I fell asleep in your room..", I fumbled out the words while his gaze was practically killing me,"...You should have woken me up." I slowly managed to say somehow and looked down quickly.

"Heyy...its no problem...I came back and saw that you had fallen asleep so I didn't want to disturb you". There was a weird kind of assurance and care mixed in his voice.

I nodded my head in probably the most awkward way it could have been ever done and slowly looked up at him.

Ian got up and switched on the lights. The room got lightened in a moment and I took a quick look around. It was probably past midnight now and the cold weather made me feel shivers. I instantly hugged myself tightly due to the freezing temperature.

Ian closed his laptop and took a quick glance at me. He walked towards me and suddenly my heart started beating faster.

He is coming close....

Ian stood right infront of me and when I looked up at his eyes...they hold a different expression altogether.

He came closer and hovered over me. The room was horribly quiet and I could feel his breath on my forehead.

His face was just an inch away from mine....he was really close.

Suddenly his hand reached my forehead and he tucked my unruly hairs behind my ear. His touch felt soo smooth.... it was like heaven.

"Are you tired ?" His voice was calm and soothing.

I looked down shyly unable to face him anymore and nodded my head.

"Are you sleepy?" ...His voice became closer and huskier this time.

It almost felt like he was whisphering into my ears and I could feel tingles all over my body. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest and I could feel his breath getting heavier.
