Wicked Souls

48

The following day, I was asleep in his office on the couch, wrapped in a blanket.

Harrow had let me fall asleep in the office on the couch after I had an exhausting day, so he decided to keep an eye on me, he knew that I needed my sleep. He stood by the desk that was in the corner and sat in a chair as he was on his laptop while I slept on the couch.

He was just about to finish up the work that he had started when he noticed that I started mumbling something while I was still asleep. It seemed like I was still in a deep sleep, but it seemed like I was saying something.

I kept mumbling, my leg was slowly slipping off the couch.

Harrow noticed that I was slowly letting my leg slip off the couch while I was still mumbling. So he got up from his seat and walked over to me to see what exactly I was mumbling about.

When he got to my side, he crouched down right next to me as he glanced to see what I was mumbling about. It seemed like I was indeed slowly slipping off the couch, which was also the reason why he came over, he didn't want me to fall after all.

He then proceeded to gently move my leg back onto the couch, making sure that it was in a safe position. He kept his gaze on me for a moment longer as I kept on mumbling... he was now wondering what exactly I was saying while asleep.

After a few seconds, I stopped mumbling. I went back into a peaceful slumber.

He was glad to see that whatever it was that I had been mumbling about was over by that point. Even though I went back into a peaceful slumber, he decided to stay right by my side until I woke up. He was just going to keep an eye on me to make sure that everything was alright with me as I was still asleep.

While I was still asleep, he then proceeded to just sit in his seat by the desk once more, he made sure to stay within the vicinity so that he could hear any of my mumbling if I started to do so again. He was still curious as to what exactly I was mumbling while asleep... so he kept an eye on me, hoping to hear more mumbling so that he could finally come to an understanding.

Not long after, I did indeed start to mumble again, except this time that mumbling sounded much more clear and audible than before, meaning that it was not a problem for Harrow to get to an understanding by just simply keeping an ear out. He had now gotten a sense of what I was mumbling about.

Just keeping the mumbling alone would suffice for him to make out certain words, such as 'him', 'kiss' and then 'want', he got the sense that I was probably having a dream with him in it, which was something that would make him quite intrigued. So he kept on listening, making sure that he could hear every little word that I was mumbling to myself, trying to figure out what exactly the full-on dream was about.

The mumbling then changed, this time I muttered the words, 'I want him', which only confirmed his suspicions that I was indeed having a dream about him. Then it was switched with 'I like him', which, once again, confirmed his suspicions even further that I was dreaming about him. This had him quite the bit interested, he was quite curious about the direction the dream was going to take now. So he kept on listening, he didn't want to miss a single word of this dream.

As the mumbling went on, the content of it was becoming somewhat clearer and clearer, now I was mumbling about wanting him to kiss me again. It seemed like my dream was going in the direction of my desires. So he kept on listening, he thought that this dream might reveal something... something that I wanted. He did find the whole thing quite amusing, but he wasn't too judgmental about it, so he kept on listening to see what else I had to say while asleep.

The mumbling continued, and more words started to trickle in. The word 'need' came in, meaning that I needed his kisses. This then switched with 'want', which, once again, suggested that I wanted his kisses. The dreaming I wanted Harrow to kiss me, was making him feel happy with himself, the fact that my subconscious desires were pointing towards him meant that I liked him on both a physical and an emotional level.

I started to wake up from my slumber, I rolled over onto my right side where I was facing Harrow.

Harrow noticed that my mumbling had stopped all of a sudden, and soon enough I was starting to wake up. When I flipped onto my side, I was facing him, which was what brought his attention to me more, his gaze was directly on me, and he hadn't noticed that I was now waking up. So he continued to just stare at me as I started to open my eyes.

I groaned and stretched my body, I didn't want to move from the warmth of the blanket so I stayed put wondering if he would walk over to me.

Harrow noticed that I was now starting to wake up, he looked at how I was starting to stretch my body out, probably due to my body still being a bit tired from the night prior. He could see that I didn't want to move from the comfort of the blanket due to it providing such warmth. So he decided to come to me instead since it didn't seem like I wanted to move yet.

He proceeded to walk over towards the couch that I was sleeping on and sat on the corner of it once he had got to my side.

Harrow then spoke up immediately afterwards. "So you are still a bit sleepy huh?" He asked softly with a gentle smile on his face as he sat on the corner of the couch, looking down at me as he spoke.
