The Insomniac Couple

I Don't Think We're Gonna Sleep At All

(Cinder's POV)

What am I gonna wear tonight? Should I stay in what I have on? Change into something a little nicer? I debate what I'm gonna do, then mom knocks and enters.

"Are you okay?" She asks, clearly seeing that I looked stressed

"Do I look okay?" I ask. She tilts her head, walks to my closet. She glances back and forth between me and pieces of clothing. She ends up pulling out a grey tshirt, a black and red plaid flannel button up, black skinny jeans, and some dark red doc martens. I change into the clothes, and look in the mirror. Something looked off. Then mom walks up to me, takes the plaid button up off my shoulders, and ties it around my waist. I look into the mirror again, and smile. Perfect.

I thank mom, and she leaves my room. I go to the bathroom to fix my makeup. Not changing it, just touching up. I brush my teeth, and once I finish, I hear the doorbell. I look at my phone. '6:52. A little early are we' I say to myself walking down to the door.

I take in a deep breath, then open the door. Wow....He doesn't look too different. All he did was add some black eyeliner. He's also got a bouquet of flowers. He hands them to me.

"Well hello there, these weeds are for you" He laughs. I smell them, I love daisies. I lead him into my house, so I can put the flowers away. I go to find a vase, and when I come back into the room, my mother is talking to Billie. Oh no.

"Whatcha guys whispering about?" I ask, uncertainly.

"Just about where he's taking you." She laughs, "I told you I had to know where you were going, so I asked him."

I roll my eyes, "So where are we going?"

"You'll find out" He says then looks at my mom, who is now laughing. Ughh.

I say bye to mom, and Billie leads me out of the house. He then stops right outside the house and turns to me.

"Put this on." He demands, handing me a blind fold. I laugh at him.

"Kinky." I state, smirking and he laughs.

"Just do it." He smiles. I put the blind fold on, and I hear him walk in front of me.

"Hop on." He says, tapping my leg, giving me some general area of where he was. I find his shoulders, and jump. He grabs onto my legs, jumps to secure me on his back. He starts walking. I can't see anything, so I wrap my arms around his neck, and lay my head on his shoulders. I hear him chuckle, but he doesn't say anything.

What felt like 10 minutes later he says, "We're here." Then setting me down. I take off my blind fold. 'Holy shit' I think to myself.

It's........It's beautiful. There are candles lit circling a dark green blanket. There's some sandwiches, and....wine?

(Billie's POV)

I walk to the blanket and motions for her to come sit. She walks over the candles and sits down. Then I sit, staring at her.

"What?" She asks, tilting her head.

"Oh, nothing. You're just.... So pretty, and it makes me upset that I never noticed you before. Even if you were trying not to be noticed." I say, her smiling and looking down.

I give her a sandwich, then I take out two glasses, and pour some wine that Mike got. How did Mike become such a romantic. I hand her a glass, and she takes a sip, then sets it down.

We finish our food, and are now empty a bottle.

"You're not gonna get drunk right?" I ask, not knowing what her alcohol tolerance is.

"Ha, that's funny. No, I've had my share of drinks. Wine is basically like water." She laughs

She then lays back, looking up at the sky. I do the same, but staring at her like she were the universe.......God, when did I become so sappy.

"Thanks for taking me out, and giving me such a first experience." She says

"First experience?" I ask, she then looking shy.

"I've never really been on a first date. I usually just get brought along, but never an official date." She says, then looking back up to the sky. I get closer to her.

We talk about our families. She telling me that her dad left her mom, sister, and her when she was young. She tells me about her past. The bullying she's been through, the day she first saw me, and her friends.

I tell her about my siblings, and how my dad died of cancer a couple of years ago, pausing after that. I then make the conversation lighter again by talking about my mom, and how she's such a great person. I talk about my siblings not living at home anymore, and I'm the youngest. I talk about my ADHD, ADD, and insomnia.

"You have insomnia too?" She asks looking at me, surprised

"Yeah, I've had it since my dad died." I say, "You have insomnia"

"It's bad most nights, but is okay on some nights. Last night was one of the better nights." She says

We talk for about another hour about our lives. I then look at my watch. 9:16. I still have some time.

"Come on, I wanna take you to one more place. You should be familiar with it." I smirk at her, holding out my hand. She takes it, and gets up.

We walk to my house, and I unlock the door. She walks in and I lock the door. She looks at me, curious.

"Don't worry, I'm not planning to keep you hostage." I hold my hands up. I take her upstairs to my room. I walk over to my small balcony, and climb up the latter. I walk to the edge of the roof, and sit. She follows.

"This is where I go when I can't sleep." I say looking at her.

"It's beautiful, I can see why you would." She smiles. We sit in silence, which was driving me crazy.

"Do you...w-want to sleep here? I mean we could keep each other company, seeing that we both insomniacs." I ask unsurly, looking at her. She looks at the sky, thinking.

"I couldn't think of a better way to spend the night." She says.

I couldn't hold back any longer. I kissed her. I put one hand on her face, while she kisses back, and puts her hand on mine. She takes a breath and leans back, looking into my eyes. She smiles, then gets up and climbs down the latter. I take in what just happened. I walk to the latter and climb down. I go into my bedroom, and she's not there. I go downstairs and find her sitting on the couch.

"Sorry, I just had to text my mom that I'm staying the night." She smiles, pointing at her phone. I then put out my hand, and she takes it. I embrace her in a kiss. A fucking passionate one. I think I know where this is leading.

I hold onto her hips, and she jumps and wraps her legs around my waist. I carry her back into my room and set her on the bed. She lays back, smirking at me, I crawl on top of her. I kiss her while I take her top off, then her jeans. She then takes mine off. I don't think we're gonna sleep at all.
