To Love A Ghost [OLD VERSION]

Chapter 3

3.Complicated situation

I shut the door to my room, Robert sat on my bed. “I’m tired, i think i’ll just sleep. Where do you er...” I didn’t know who to phrase the question.

“I normally sit on your rocking chair.”

“You could sleep in my bed” I suggested. He climbed into my bed chastely on the edge of my bed.I walked into the bathroom and put on my PJ’s they were my matching i had a short sleeved top and long trousers.  “Ugh you don’t to be that chaste.Come over here.” He shifted closer to me, i reached out and pulled my hands through my hair. I tangled my legs with his. I could feel his jeans against the bare skin on my leg where my trouser had roller up. I sighed. That night i slept soundly. Thinking of nothing but his arms on my sides.

 

When i woke up i was aware of Robert’s arm on the bare skin on my hip. Then he woke up too, and pulled his arm away. I caught his hand and pushed it back down to where it was. He looked at me longingly. He kissed me lightly on my lips.I rolled over on my side, facing him. For a few minutes we just stared at each other. Finally, we got out of bed. It was 10 AM. The house was empty, everyone had gone out for breakfast. We came into the kitchen, i opened the fridge and got out some juice then i got two glasses. He started making eggs. He made scrambled eggs on toast. It was nice the best i had ever tasted. He definitely knew how to cook. I sat down on a small, wooden chair that smelt like oak, wood, and forest. I looked at him, deciding which question to ask first.

 

Robert

I was lying in her bed, her scent was layered on every surface. My head was swimming, i was drunk with her smell. It would be hard for me to sleep, i could feel her warmth, it spread silently towards me. She came back from the bathroom dressed in matching PJ’s. She climbed into the bed i discreetly shifted so that i was ever further away. She moaned about me being so far away from her so i slowly moved back. She pulled her hand through my hair it felt incredible, i couldn’t think of anything else. Then she tangled her legs with mine, i didn’t pull away. She sighed. I couldn’t sleep but the thud of her heart, and her breath sent me to sleep and into a dream that was filled with her. When i woke up i realised that my hand was resting on her hip, but her hip was bare, just a tiny bit of her skin was showing and that was where my hand lay. I took it away, i thought she was still asleep. She stopped my hand, my heart beat faster. She gently put my hand back on her skin. I was full of longing, i kissed her, the slightest brush of my skin on hers.After a while we rolled out of bed. I made her eggs,after she had eaten them i put my hands on her sides and traced desire on her smooth curves of her gorgeous body. I loved the way she bit down on her lip. It looked like she wanted to ask me something but i didn’t know what. She didn’t know how to ask it.She kept quiet and let me rub my hands over her body. I

hugged her close to me. But then someone walked in through the door. It was one of Lizzy’s sisters, Rose. She took one look I thought she was going to walk straight back out the door but instead she said cheerfully “ Hey you two love birds.”

“Rose, i need to ask you something.” I turned to the plates washing them in the sink. I acted as if i wasn’t listening, but I was. Lizzy spoke next. “I haven’t told Jon yet, I mean I don’t really know how , i-” She was interrupted by the door, there was a sharp knock. Me and Lizzy both said together “Jon.” I didn’t want to go, or turn myself back into a ghost. I held my ground. Lizzy raced down the hall and a gust of wind blew in from the door. “I need to talk to you,” Lizzy told Jon. “It’s about “ But Jon kissed her before she could get the words out i walked down the hall. I was jealous and angry, she was mine, not his. I felt instantly better when Lizzy wound her fingers with mine. “Jon i’m breaking up with you. I am in love with Robert he’s my ghost, you know the one that has been protecting me.” Jon fell silent me accused me with his dark blue eyes. His eye were a shade of dark blue but they weren’t really dark they were a light dark blue. I think Jon didn’t know what to say. But he did say something “That was quick. Is that why you were acting all weird last night?” He asked her. She looked at me, she didn’t know to tell him the truth or not.Elizabeth was confused with what and how to tell Jon this. About us. “Yeah.” She finally admitted with a wary look on her face.I wanted to talk to her now but i couldn’t, i didn’t want Jon to hear us, so i stayed quiet. She walked him to the door and kissed him one last time. I didn’t like that, but she was mine now, truly and fully. He held on to her when she tried to pull away. She seemed be not very bothered, then she saw me out the corner of her eye and she ripped Jon’s hands from her waist and pushed him out the door mumbling goodbye. “I want to kiss you now but “ I didn’t know quite how to finish. She just looked at me then went to the bathroom and washed her mouth out, the door to the bathroom was open. She stepped out and waited for me to come to her. I couldn’t move, my heart thudded faster.I half stepped in her direction, then she half ran half walked to me desperately. Her mouth was on mine, warm, peppermint, soft. She pulled away before i was ready. I caught her hand and kissed it. Then i twined my fingers with her and we walked to the kitchen and we made lunch together. It was simple even though i had checked her grade in food tech and she had a high grade. We made sandwiches, she was a vegetarian and hadn't eaten a piece of meat for years. But i loved her all the same. I wondered how this was going to work out.
