Stay With You // Conrad Fisher

Chapter 18

Conrad's p.o.v.

I told myself I wouldn't let myself fall in love with a girl here. Magnolia is making that harder to do everyday.

      I hated the idea of being vulnerable to another girl again. The idea was terrifying.

I'm letting her stay in my room for the next few days because she doesn't like being alone and her roommate how to go out of town for a while. I just want her to be okay.

We're watching this movie that I thought was suppose to be pretty funny but I can't think of anything other than Maggie.

Her head rests on my shoulder and I've been holding her hand this entire time.

We're about two-thirds done with this movie when I look down at her head on my shoulder. Magnolia is watching the movie but her eyes are closing at such a slow rate it looks like she's going to fall asleep.

     She's in grey sweatpants and a dark blue sweater right now but she looks like she could be a model.

     I wonder if she's thinking about me the way I'm thinking about her right now.

      I feel as though she's read my mind because as soon as that thought left my mind she took her hands and pulled my arm around her while she leaned into me even more so that her head was laying in my lap and my other hand was now in her hair.

     I knew she'd probably fall asleep at this rate before the movie could actually finish but I didn't even care.

     This is what falling in love feels like.
