Chapter 14: Valentin

-Yes you should go back to your room.

Mei replies, looking away. You can see from her voice that she and slightly above that I'm leaving. I remain motionless for a minute and decide to ask him, also looking away:

-If you want afterwards you can sleep with Kiara in her bed and I'll take your mattress in case you have nightmares during the night because seeing how you hold me during the film.

My remark makes her smile. Which also makes me smile:

-Yes if you want you can stay afterwards I won't stop you you can go see your cozy bed.

-No, don't worry, and I feel good here in this room... with you.

This answer makes her blush.

-I'm going to go put on my pajamas and get some duvets so you can get yours.

-Okay, I'm going to go change too.

I leave the girls' room to go change into my pajamas and get what I need.

I take out a pair of black jogging pants with a black T-shirt from my wardrobe. I quickly grab a blanket for the night and go straight back to the girls' room.

Arriving in front of the open door I see Mei busy taking her blanket to put it on my sister's bed. With her blanket she covers my peacefully sleeping sister. Once she's finished she raises her head and sees me and a little smile appears on her lips which makes me blush. I enter the room and approach the mattress which is on the floor as I was about to put my blanket on it, she stops me by exclaiming:

-If you want I can sleep on the mattress on the floor and you sleep with your sister.

Hearing her I drop my blanket on the ground then approach her and respond:

-Don't worry, I'm not going to die because I sleep on the floor and it will do you good to sleep in a real bed so don't worry. Now go to bed before I get angry.

I see a big smile appear and understand that she is holding back from laughing. Then she exclaims out loud, carding herself in sight:

-At your command, chief.

I play his game by answering him:

-I prefer that.We both burst out laughing. After a few seconds Mei manages to articulate:

-Good night Valentine.

And then I do the most improbable thing possible. I kiss him on the forehead. Mei turns red. I move away from her and answer:

-Good night to you too Mei.

With these words I turn around and go to bed. I hear Mei doing the same. After a few minutes I barely fell asleep thinking about what I just did. That night I don't dream of video games but of the person with whom I just had the best evening.
