Tattered Souls

Chapter 18: What Do I Want?

I gently rub my eyes as the moonlight shines in on my face.

"Man, That was a pretty good nap."

I yawn and cuddle up to the pillow before I realize that im not in my own bed.

Im in Sam's.

I quickly check to make sure im dressed and sigh out of relief before covering my face with my hands.

What am I thinking? She would never take advantage of me like that.

A tear falls from my eye as I realize what I've done.

I can't believe I would actually consider her doing something like that to me.

She has been nothing but kind and gentle with me throughout all of this.

I look around wondering where she is and ease out of bed.

When I get downstairs I see her laying on the couch sleeping peacefully.

She's wearing some sweatpants and a tank top with her hair in a bun and a blanket halfway hanging off of her body.

She looks so cute and comfy.

I don't want to disturb her so I grab my things and get ready to leave.

Before I go, I get a chill from how cold it is in here so I know she must be freezing.

I go over and gently cover her more with the blanket trying my best not to wake her.

As I'm covering her up. I can't help but feel so attached to her.

I have this strong feeling like I'm not supposed to leave her but I know that I should.

I place a soft kiss on her forehead and as I go to turn away,she begins to stir.

I blush because I honestly didn't intend to wake her up.

I just couldn't help myself.

Her eyes flutter open and her voice is husky from sleep as she sits up a little to talk to me.

"Hey there, you feeling better?"

I nod my head and sit beside her on couch.

"Much better thanks. I was about to head home. I didn't mean to wake you."

She pouts a little and takes hold of my hand.

"Can't you stay a little longer?" I laugh and shake my head.

"You look tired. You need to get some rest."

She rubs her eyes and sits up wrapping her arms around me.

"Nooo I don't want you to go."

She pulls me down onto her lap making me laugh at how silly she's being.

"Saaam, I need to go." She shakes her head holding onto me.

I honestly missed this.

I missed how close we were and how we used to play around.

When she's not getting on my nerves, she's actually really sweet and affectionate like a teddy bear.

"Sam I'm going to make Jason worry if I stay gone too long."

I say,leaning on her a little.

She shakes her head.

"Nope, I already called him. He said he wants us to make up so you're all mine."

I smiled feeling her hug me from behind.

I realize that how close we are allows me to feel her heart beat against my back.
