THE NEW LIFE OF REESE CARLIA (PREVIEW)

Chapter 8

When I woke up, I had to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't move because of Akeba's arm around me. I tried moving but he just tightened his grip. "Akeba?" I called out to him.

"Hm..."

"I have to go use the bathroom."

He made a sound that I couldn't understand and just kept his arm around me. I just shook my head and slowly moved his arm so I could get up. Once I was up I went to the bathroom and did my business. Once I was finished, I washed my hands and went back to bed. Instead of going back to sleep I just stayed up thinking. I didn't realize Akeba woke up until he asked me what was wrong.

Me: Oh, nothing. I'm just thinking about everything that's happened so far.

Akeba: How are you feeling?

Me: I'm okay. I'm happy that I left and that I met you.

Akeba: I'm happy that I met you as well. I promise to always do right by you.

Me: I promise to do the same. I'm nervous to meet your parents and your sister. Do you think they'll like me? *I asked him nervously*

Akeba: They're going to love you.

Me: Okay. After I meet your parents and sister can we go shopping, and then train?

Akeba: Yes, we can do that.

Me: Okay. I'm going to go take a shower now.

He looked at me with a smirk and asked, "Can I join?" I smirked back and said, "No."

I laughed at his face because he started pouting. I smiled and kissed his cheek then got up and went to the bathroom to take my shower. Once I finished taking my shower I got out, dried off, and wrapped the towel around me. I peeked out the door and didn't see Akeba anywhere, so I walked out.

The next thing I know I was pushed up against the wall and I looked to see Akeba looking down at me. He looked into my eyes then looked at my lips and back to my eyes. I nodded my head knowing what he wanted to do. He leaned down and kissed me, and I kissed him back. He pulled away and smiled at me and I smiled back at him. I pecked his lips and then went to my bag.

I grabbed the outfit I was going to wear today and put it on. I looked back at Akeba to see he was smiling while going into the bathroom to take his shower. While he was in the shower I took my hair out of its bun and let it fall down my back. It was already curly, so I didn't do anything to it. After that, I sat down on the bed and played subway surfers on my phone. I heard the bathroom door open and looked to see Akeba walking out with the towel wrapped around his waist. I just stared and admired his body.

Akeba: You like what you see?

Me: Most definitely.

He smiled at me and went to get dressed. I turned around while he did. Once I knew he was finished getting dressed I turned back around.

Me: You look handsome.

Akeba: Thank you. You look beautiful as well.

Me: You're welcome and thank you.

Akeba: You're welcome. Are you ready to go?

I nodded my head and replied, "Yes."

He took my hand and led me downstairs. We went into the kitchen where we saw a lady who I'm guessing is his mom drinking coffee. Akeba walked over to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Akeba: Hey, mama.

Akeba's mom: Hey, sweetie. Who's this? *she asked while looking at me with a motherly smile*
