The Secret He Has

Chapter 6

Briar's pov
I wake up feeling Myles' arms around me and his head nestled in my hair. He was so sweet to me last night, I was just being a typical girl. Oh no! That's probably what he thinks I am! Just a stupid girl who cries to get attention. I promise I didn't do it for attention, I was genuinely scared. Besides, I haven't had anyone care for me like this before. He was still asleep, gosh he did look cute. Did I really just think that? Yes, but I can. There are lots of guys that are cute, but Myles looks the cutest. Maybe that's because I haven't watched anyone else sleep. Wow, that sounds creepy! I didn't mean it like a stalker! It's just his hair, his face, his arms wrapped around me.... No! I can't think like this. He's just my friend, nothing more.

I get taken out of my thoughts when my alarm goes off. Ugh. I have to get up and go to work. I really want to stay like this but I guess I can't. I turn the alarm off and see that Myles starts to stir. His brown eyes open slowly and they stare straight at me.

"Sorry for waking you." I say as he sits up.
"No, no, it's ok. I understand that you have work. Did you sleep ok?" He asks with a small smile.
"Yes, thank you." I reply.
"By the way, I don't think that you're a typical girl." He says with a wink.
I forgot he could see pasts, but that was only a few minutes ago. Wait, that's why he was starring at me! So he could see what I was thinking. Oh no. I thought he was cute. He probably saw that. No! This is bad! I just hope he doesn't bring it up.

Myles' pov
Yeah, I'm pretty cute.

Briar's pov
Just thinking about it, I feel my face flush red. I cover my cheeks with my hair but, I'm pretty sure he already saw.

"Well, I'll let you get ready. Have a good day!" He says and goes to leave.
As he reaches the door, he turns around and says, "Oh by the way, you're cute too."
I take my hair away from my face and look up but he has already gone. Did he just call me cute? At least he didn't tease me about it, I hate people like that.

Anyway, I get changed into my work clothes and walk into the kitchen to find Myles. He's standing there, shirtless so I look away. I mean it's hot so I don't blame him but I don't really want to see him shirtless.
"I'm going now." I say, still looking away.
"Have a good day! Also Briar?" He asks.
"Yeah?" I reply, still looking away.
"Why are you looking away?" He asks and I hear him walk closer to me.
"Well you're shirtless....and....uh." I feel my face burning up.
"Oh! Am I making you feel awkward?" He asks, trying to see my face.
"Kind of." I say with a gulp.
"Sorry." He apologises.
"You can look now." He says so I look up.

He had put his red shirt back on. I smiled and we said our goodbyes. Then, I went to work.
