Words on Memories

Chapter 5

Unedited... ;P

I think I screamed.

I quickly turned around. Nile stood there, grinning at me.

What the heck?

I think I almost fell off the balcony railing. But Greek Calvin Klein model Nile quickly caught me before I ended my stupid life falling off a balcony railing.

'Careful.' He told me.

I stared at him with my mouth open.

'What? What....what are you doing here?' I whispered. My voice was raspy and it came out only in whispers. Of course. I can't awaken anyone now.

'Don't sound so surprised? Why do you think I asked for your apartment number?' Nile asked me, smiling.

What an idiot. A sexy one though.

Wait, how did he get here?

'Did...you didn't climb all the way here, did you?'

He grinned again. 'It wasn't that hard. I took a ladder and climbed it up till the fifth. Then came the tricky part, the ladder wasn't that tall so, I had to climb from the balconies of sixth onward?'

Definitely an idiot box. But then again, no human can climb that high.

'This isn't right. I must be dreaming. No man can climb that high.' I reassured myself. This must be surely a dream. Why the hell would he be here otherwise?

'Hey.' Nile took my hand in his. 'You're not dreaming and I'm really sorry about the crockery.'

Click. Now everything clicked into place!

'So it was you!' I screamed then remembered mom and Bri.

'Okay, whatever. Why are you here, anyway?' I asked him, lowering my voice now.

'You want me to go?' Nile asked, raising his eyebrows and my stomach again did a somersault.

'No!' I said quickly, Geez. That made me sound like a weirdo.

He stared at my eyes. I felt myself heating up and my heart rate decided to ram against my rib cage. Again.

I shivered as the cold wind hit me again.

Nile looked concerned. 'I think you should get more clothes on.'

'Yeah. You wanna come in?' I asked him.

His freaking eyebrows went up again. 'Are you inviting me to your bedroom?'

Freaking idiot.

'I'm being hospitable. If you want, you can come in. otherwise, suit yourself.' I said, for the first time smiling that night.

He grinned. 'Coming in then.'

'Just keep the voices low, alright?'

We entered my room in darkness and I finally became conscious of my barn aka, my room.

'Can you turn on the lights?' Nile whispered into my ear. That was so ticklish. Wait, what?

I had forgotten that he was right behind me.

'Of course not!' I hissed.

'But I can't see anything.' Nile said indignantly. I swear he was pouting. Hm... that would be a really cute scene. Thank god the lights were off.

'It's better if you don't see anything.' I whispered. God knows what all are hanging around in my room.

'Wait.' I took his arms and guided him onto my bedside. That one gesture sent chills up my arm.
