PALE FIRE

alienated minds

Things got awkward fast when Leroy came downstairs obviously looking like he just took a shower with his wet curly hair covering most of his eyes it was damp meaning he just got out of the shower not too long ago dressed in sweats and a shirt that held his body revealing the fact that he was working out again I was trying so hard to hold my gaze on the movie I was trying miserably to watch "do you mind if I join" he said smiling sweetly at me "you can" I mumbled still not meeting his eyes moving to give him room to sit next to me I heard him chuckle a bit before sitting down as I quietly moved the snacks where he could reach surprised by my own actions "is Skylar rosello sharing her snacks with me" he fake gasped his hands over his mouth with his eyes wide staring at me dramatically I bit my lips trying not to laugh but I couldn't "shut up it's a one time opportunity before I change my mind " I hid my smile touched that he still remembered that little detail about me "today is definitely my day" he smirked staring at the tv.
"Sky?" Ryan called from the door
"In here" I called out as he walked to where we were his arms spread out to me as i walked in them giving him a tight hug"i missed you today" he mumbled as he placed a kiss to the top of my head "me too but our visitor kept me company" I spoke glaring at him "sorry I forgot to call but i knew you'd figure it out so I wasn't completely bothered "he grinned sheepishly holding out a bag in his hand to me "I brought peace offerings" he chuckled as I snatched the bag looking inside to see all my favorite sweet's my face lightening up instantly" darn it, you know the key to my heart" I went back to sit down compensating myself since we both finished the snacks halfway into the movie"good to see you Leroy"Ryan nodded towards his direction as they exchanged pleasantries  "good to see you too you got bigger man" he smirked as Ryan laughed " hardwork man lots of it" he gloated as I chuckled quietly it turned into vehement series of coughing "but you're so lazy" I muttered under my breath as his head turned to my direction shooting me a glare while Roy was trying miserably to not laugh. We had Ryan's mouth-watering pasta for dinner and Leroy after showering praises to Ryan retired to bed early after helping out to clean leaving Ryan and me downstairs my head in his lap as we were snuggled up watching a movie "Sky?" he spoke up while stroking my hair I hummed in response half asleep trying to keep my eyes open "did you guys talk about what happened in Barcelona? I'm sorry I sprang this on you without giving you time to decide" His voice laced with concern
"it's okay I know it didn't happen intentionally you wouldn't want to make me uncomfortable and yeah we spoke I made it clear that it would never happen again he understood where I was coming from"  I mumbled yawning"I just want you to be fine, the boys are coming over tomorrow let's do something fun to make him comfortable here okay" his voice was raspy. I was half asleep but I could feel him carrying me up to my room and placing a kiss on my forehead" Good night sky" he whispered before I drifted into a deep slumber...
