Dorm 308

{ T W E N T Y S I X }

"Chastity," A familiar deep, husky, yet soothing voice can be heard around the room to my ears, making me want to pretend that I'm still deep in slumber just to be able to hear his voice again. "Chastity." He spoke again in a more firm tone.

"What?" I groaned in annoyance, but I can't deny that I like to hear his voice in my wake every morning before staring my day. I nuzzled my face on the soft, warm pillow under my head and irritably block out the light from the ceiling above me. It feels like it's just the crack of dawn. Who wakes up this early?

"I love you." If his voice could get any more endearing, it is when he sincerely blurts out those three words. Those three simple and heartwarming words that can amazingly make my breathing stop for a minute. It can make my heartbeat stop, and then beat rapidly, in quick paces that feels like my veins are too thin to let those blood flow smoothly, when the words that came out of his mouth finally settled into the deepest part my mind and comprehension. But, I find it hard to believe that he, someone like him, someone who barely shows love and affection, could love me.

My eyes almost popped out of its sockets when he muttered those words near my sensitive ear. Did I hear him right? Is he sleepwalking? But then, I rolled out of my nuzzled position on the pillow and look up. He's there, standing above me, with his beautiful forest green eyes that makes me melt on the spot. With his wide, contagious, dimpled smile that spreads warmth throughout my body, like a virus that became epidemic.

"What?" I repeated, sounding like a broken track in a vinyl player. I looked up towards him with a confused and baffled look on my face, that even I, can't understand. I like Harry since the day I met him, maybe that's why I left and came back with him despite the drama that he had created during the times I am with him.

Instead of replying to me, he kept his mouth shut and stared into my eyes. He carefully raised his right hand above my face and slowly wiped the crease between my eyebrows by kneading his thumb on my forehead. The furrow on my eyebrows may have been removed but the confusion inside my head cannot be easily wiped out. Suddenly, without any signal or permission, he looks down onto my tightly sealed lips and again, slowly leaned into my face and closed his beautiful eyes.

This is not what I am expecting to be my first kiss with him, not with a nasty morning breath, not when I haven't wiped the sleep from my eyes, not when I have conflicting and complicated feelings for him. I stared at him as he moved closer to my face, my eyes widened with bemusement even more. I don't know whether to stop him or let him do it. My heart is bursting from my uncontrollable beats of my heart and my breathing became ragged and uneven. I then tightly closed my eyes as he —

"Chastity," His voice spoke in a different tone. What is he doing?

I opened my tightly closed eyes to be faced with him, again. Harry. He is standing in front of me with a worried look on his face. His enchanting green eyes looked at my face with pure concern. He raised his right hand, but this time, he didn't remove the crease between my eyebrows, but placed the back of his hand on my forehead, he's obviously checking whether I have a fever or not.

It was all a dream.

"What?" I muttered for the hundredth time. Still, dumbly confused. I looked around the place from my position on the couch aka my bed, to check if this is real. I can't believe I experienced false awakening, and both the good thing and bad thing is, it was a dream with Harry telling me he loves me and he almost kissed me, while I, didn't stop him from doing so.
