The Night I Forgot

Chapter 5

Soon after the unexpected butterflies rushed into my stomach from the basketball game, it was time to go to bed once again. I just can't wait! I can't beleive I just said that, but I can't. I loved sleeping with him and waking up tangled with his soft, warm skin touching mine. Maybe I'll even let him touch tonight since we did anyway last night. Well I did last night. I don't know about him though. Gosh this man.

We were in the living room watching T.V. when I said," I'm about ready to go to bed." I stood up from the petite couch and stretched my arms out and yawned.

"Am I sleeping with you again tonight?" He asked it so sweetly.

"Yeah. Well.. If you want." I say stupidly but hoping he would say yes.

"Ok. Well I'll be there in a minute. I'm going to clean up a bit." I had already taken a shower and he was waiting for the hot water to come on again. I'm sure the water is hot now.

"Alright!" I say a little too happily.

We both walked in the room and he headed to the bathroom. I changed into some short blue cotton shorts and a pink tank top. I looked at myself in the mirror. "Ugh. How does that hot, delicious guy want me!?" I ask myself aloud. I stalk over to the bed and tuck myself in under the covers. For some reason I just couldn't go to sleep.

I heard the falling water from the shower come to a halt and soon after Blake sauntered into the room.... With just a towel on his lower half. Ohhhhh myyyy goooooosh!!!! Those abs! Mmm I just wanna walk up to him and kiss them! How on earth did I end up sleeping with this oh so yummy man!? I tried to pretend the blush on my cheeks weren't there, but it was of no use. My cheeks were smoldering.

He looked at me. "Like what you see?" I thought it was impossible, but i blushed even more. I really made it THAT obvious that I was checking him out?! Great. Just great Allie.

He started chuckling because I gave no response, but I don't think I was capable to speak just then. He laid down beside me and immediately I could feel the heat radiating off of his skin. I closed my eyes and finally felt a peaceful sleep creeping in. I woke a few hours later. I looked at the clock and it read 2:23. I turned my head around and was shocked to see Blake's face maybe one centimeter away from my face. We weren't touching but man I wish we were. He looked so sexy yet peaceful when he slept. I just want to... I leaned in just a little and felt his lips. On mine. And I stayed like that. Not kissing. But touching. And gosh it felt wonderful to be that close to him. I closed my eyes, lost in the rough yet softness of his lips. When I woke again, he was nowhere to be seen. I can't believe I actually kissed him. Ok well it wasn't a kiss, but pretty damn close to one! I feel like a creeper. Who kisses someone when they're slepping?! Apparently a weirdo like me. Wow. I'm not even supposed to like him, yet I'm kissing him in his sleep. Oh gosh. What if he woke up like that?! That's probably why he left!!! Great! What did I do?!

I slowly climb out the bed and make my way to the bathroom. After that I cruised into the kitchen to fix me some coffee. Man I have to go home today. Home is full of grading papers and paying bills. I'd much rather stay here. I walk up to the counter and nearly pass out when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and see Anita giggling. So not funny! "Hey! You scared me. When did you get here?"

"We'll be leaving today so I decided to come help pack up. Where is your.... guy at?" I'm guessing she didn't wanna press any further with the 'husband' thing.

"I don't really know," I say glumly, " I woke and he wasn't here."

"Well I guess we better enjoy our selves before the day passes by. How about we go shopping!"she exclaims.

"Can I come?" Woah okay maybe he didn't leave.

"Woah. Where have you been? I woke up and you weren't there." I felt so relieved he didn't leave me. I have to suck it up though because we are separating Really soon. Like as in a few hours. What am I going to do?!

"I woke at around four and couldn't sleep anymore so I came into the living room to turn on the tv. I didn't wanna disturb you. You looked like you were sleeping very well."

If he woke up at four that was only about a hour and a half after I went back to bed. Did he wake up with our lips touching? Did he like it? Did he think I was some kind of creep? Maybe he didn't even wake up like that. Either of us could've changed our positions in an hour. I probably didn't because touching him like that felt so nice. He probably did though. Why did I even have to kiss him?! I'm such an idiot!

"Oh. Ok." I say, trying to hide my smile. For some reason the man was smirking at me. Oh gosh he definitely woke up with us still touching.!

"I'm just going to go and uhhhh pack up my uhhh things." Anita says awkwardly as she fast walks to her room. I can't help but giggle at her.

"So why did you wake up?" I ask trying to figure out if he, in fact, did wake up with me touching him.

"I was... I felt.. Overwhelmed by you."

Yep he sure did.

"Yeah. ummm I kind of was a little..cuddly last night," I say with my heart throbbing. It wouldn't be a surprise if my rips broke from the intensity of each beat.

He stepped closer to me. We were just a foot apart. "That wasn't my problem. I like feeling you on my lips, if that's what you're getting at."

An with that he leaned in and pecked me right on the cheek, causing them to flame bright red. "That. Felt good." He says slowly moving away, making my body want him. My cheek turned cold as he left and I just wanted him back. Just as he turned around I stepped forward and put my finger through one of his belt loops. I pulled him in and just stood there really, and I mean really, close to him. Enjoying his heat.

"Hey where's the....ummm ... I'm.. Ummm bye?" Anita says interrupting me and Blake's little..moment.

We step away from each other and this time even Blake has a blush on his face. It suited him. Anything suits him but I think he looks adorable with a blush on.

"It's fine," I say ," we were just umm.." I tailed off really not knowing way to say. I'm thankful Anita came in though because I can't risk getting any closer to Blake. If I'm going to divorce him I need to quit with the flirting and the kissing and the cuddling and the laughing and.... How on earth am I supposed to do that?! This man makes me insane, considering I married him after one night.

I just hope that soon I will learn how to control myself around him. I can't stay with him. I just..I can't!!!
