The Summer Fling (Poofless AU)

3 - I'm Sorry

"The Summer Night is like a perfection of thought." - Wallace Stevens

Preston's POV

I went up the carpeted stairs and went up to the guest room. His probably starved, I heard airplane food isn't exactly the best in the world. My knuckles knocked on the door, awaiting for a response.

"Rob?"

I whispered silently before entering.

Inside I saw Rob laying on various pillows with his arms hanging of the bed. Damn, I guess jet lag is really no joke. I was about to close the door when I heard a soft sneeze came from Rob. My arms whipped the door back open.

Can you sneeze in your sleep?! I tipped toe over to Rob and saw him shivering a bit. Oh his just cold. I reached over and grabbed the cover that had long not been on Rob and tugged it up to meet his sleeping face. He responded immediately by cuddling up with the thick cover. His hand glazed against my thigh as I was about to move away. Frozen shivers ran down my legs as his finger tips hit my thigh again.

Holy fuck. I know Mr.Felix keeps his house cold over the summer but damn Rob, you're going to catch a cold. I leaned down and picked up Robs right arm. I opened up the cover and placed his arm near his chest. After I was finished I did the same thing to his left arm.

I walked two steps back to observe the picture in front of me. He looks so calm and tranquil, like a little sleeping wolf kinda. I mean, I never really seen a wolf in real life but I've seen a decent amount of pictures of them on the internet. We don't really have wolfs in Texas, or at least if we do I haven't seen any.

How could someone look so peaceful when sleeping? Hell, when I sleep I move around everywhere. I took a step closer to the sleeping human and sat beside him. My fingers slowly took my phone out and opened the camera up.

Should I? I mean, it's not like his going to find out right? What's it going to hurt if I take one messliy photo? I angled my camera and snapped a picture at the sleeping man. Hmm, maybe one more. Hey, the more the merrier right? I adjusted the position my camera was in and took another picture.

After a while two pictures turned into twenty. Okay, this is the last one I promise! I moved over towards Rob and got in the photo with him. My tongue came out of mouth as I snapped the photo. There! I'm finished. I put my phone back in my pocket and reached over to Rob.

My hands swiftly ruffled up his hair, careful not to wake him up. I'm sorry I have to do this Rob but, I need this money. My mom is sick in the hospital with Encephalitis and the bills aren't going to pay for themselves. Have you heard of that disease Rob? It's okay if you haven't, I didn't know what it was either. Apparently its inflammation to the brain due, to something. But here's the thing, the doctors can't figure out how she got it or even how to treat her.

Crazy right? All the money for moms retirement has been going into her research. But that wasn't enough, all the money towards me going to college is almost gone too.

The money Mr.Felix is giving me will help. You're probably a really cool dude Rob, and I hate to do this to you but, I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. I got off of the bed amd walked towards the door.

I looked back at Rob before shutting the door. Starting tomorrow, I will become your paid temporary best friend. I closed the door and walked downstairs to the other guest room and crashed on the dark colored bed. Before I fell asleep, I had one last thought in my mind.

Please don't let Rob turn into something more than a temporary best friend.

A/N: I just want to say that if I get any facts wrong about Encephalitis I'm sorry. I learned about it a bit in school so I don't know every much about it. Also, early chapter because over the summer I have no life -__-

(P.S: Do you like the qoutes I put about summer at the beginning of every chapter?)
