This Is Me ( stud x fem )

Chapter 41

Sunny

I wake up on the first Monday back at school around two o'clock in the morning. The entire house is silent. Attempting to force myself back to sleep is not working. It's too big of a room for only one person.

I think about asking Double to come downstairs to lay with me, but my Aunt Tay already gave me one hell of a speech about staying in this house with Double. I don't see the big deal. It's not like Double can get me pregnant.

Bored, I look out the flailing patio doors to see the stubborn moon. Can't it just be day time already?

Settling on calling Double to help me go back to sleep, I grab my phone from underneath the pillow. I dial her number and it rings until the end of eternity.

Finally someone picks up.

"Hello?" a groggy voice on the other line. It's silent for a while while I debate on whether to speak or not. "Sunny. Sunny, baby, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," I spit out, quickly.

Apparently too quick. I can hear her as she sits up. "The truth please?" She clears her throat. God, her voice sounds so sexy while she's sleeping.

"I can't sleep....." I choke out. "And I wish you could come lay with me because I cant sleep."

I hear movement on the other line.

"What are you doing, Dub?" I ask. "You can't come here."

"And why not?" she asks, kind of aggravated.

I sigh. "Because you have to pass by my aunt's room to get downstairs. I'm on the first floor you're on the second."

I can the smile in her words. "Check the patio."

Unsure, I walk to the patio only to see Double shimmying down the fire escape.

Once she lands she kisses my forehead. "What's the problem, munchkin?"

I just grab her hand and we both walk to the bed. "I have one hell of a headache, and I can't sleep."

She smiles, cockily. "I'm supposed to make you sleep better?"

I roll my eyes and nod as I crawl into the bed.

She follows willingly. Double hold me from behind and I feel a sense of calmness run over my body. For a moment, nothing exist, but us two.

"You're the most beautiful girl in this world to me besides my mama." She hugs me tighter.

I shrug. "I'm not. I'm nerdy. And weird. Awkwardly short, and the new girl at the school. I only went to school for three days and girls are already talking shit, boys claiming me as property, and everybody laughs at how I dress."

Double sighs. "I don't care about them."

"Hide me," I whisper out.

She kisses my back. "I will. I'll hide you in my heart and never unveil my secrets to the world. You're mine Suniya Jackson. Always will be."

I let out a sigh of relief. She makes me feel better. She always makes me feel better. "Can you..... dress me tomorrow?"

Double looks down at me. I can feel her chin in the crest of my head. "What? Why?"

"I wanna dress how your girlfriend would dress," I say, almost embarassed.

She holds me tighter. "I'm nobody special, babe. Just dress how you wanna."

I shake my head. "C'mon, Dub. We both know the truth. What's the real reason you had sex with Sophie that day? Because everybody loves her."

"You don't need to dress like Sophie for me to want to have sex with you." Her hands slide down to my ass. "I want to have sex with you right now, baby."
