Listen to the heart

Chapter 8

I shifted my position trying to turn but something hard was against my back and something heavy was on top of me. I opened my eyes to see where I was. There were arms encircling my waist clutching me tight. Jackson suddenly the memory of him trying to rape me last night came to me. I was panicking but then I noticed I had clothes on and the arms felt warm strangely safe. It can't be Jackson. Then it came back to me Tyler and me had been watching movies.... wait how'd we end up in my bedroom. We has been in the living room last I remember. I turned slightly coming face to face with a sleeping Tyler. Then it hit me Tyler was in my bed with his arms wrapped around me and I have no idea how we ended here. At least I was sure we hadn't done anything weird since both of us were clad in clothes. I looked at Tyler's face he looked so peaceful and beautiful. Did I just say beautiful? What is wrong with me must be the effect of just waking up from my sleep and having drinks last night. My brain was being foggy. I had this crazy urge to brush a Tyler's hair off his forehead and touch his sharp perfect jawline. I was looking at him when suddenly his eyes opened and his lips turned into a smile.

"Morning sweetheart, sleep well?" He asked in a husky voice.

Oh my goodness this is what people must have meant my morning voice sounding the sexiest. I had never woken up in a guy's arms ever before. This feeling was all new and weird to me but not a bad weird.

"Morning yes I slept we'll and I'm assuming you did you from the content expression on your face whilst you were asleep but would you mind telling me how we ended up here and why am I wrapped up in your arms?" I demanded. True, Tyler's arms encircling me felt good but I needed to put some distance between us before we did something I would regret like kiss. Me and Tyler were barely friends and I had despised the guy for as long as I can remember. No matter how gorgeous he looked I didn't want to kiss him.

Tyler realized I wasn't joking and I meant business so he removed his arms from around me and sat up straight allowing me to sit up as well.

"You fell asleep while watching the movie. I thought of waking you up but you looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb you so I carried you up." He said as if that was enough to explain why he was sleeping in my bed.

"That still doesn't explain why you were in my bed with your arms around me" I said raising an eyebrow at him.

"Oh that... that is because don't get me wrong I fully intended to put you in your bed and go down to sleep on the couch but when I put you down you grabbed on to my shirt and moved closer to me..." I gave him a look of disbelief, I can't believe I did that.

"Look Stacey it's fine I assumed you were shaken up from what happened earlier in the night it was a natural reaction from your side. You looked so vulnerable in your sleep something I've never seen you look. I couldn't just leave you so that is how I ended up sleeping in your bed and you know the rest." He said looking at me waiting for a reply. I didn't know what to say. That was so sweet of him I wanted to hug him and thank him for the whole thing but I should probably not do that. He would think I'm an emotional looney. I don't even know why I was feeling so emotional I usually don't. I did the only thing I could think off I got off the bed and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up "well then I'll go shower you're free to use the other bathroom to freshen up yourself"

I had changed into light pink shorts and a white camisole after my shower. I went down the stairs and I could smell eggs bacons and sausages. I went to the kitchen and there was Tyler standing at the stove making breakfast for us. Damn he looked hot cooking. I really needed to stop thinking about how perfect he looked.

"Smells amazing, didn't know you could cook."

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me Stacey, a lot of things." There was that tone again which implied there was more to it than he said. I chose to ignore it.
