TOXIC

Chapter 7

I wake up and see Stefan in front of me awake. He smiles and sits up.

"Why are you in here?" I asks. I didn't remember what happened last night.

"You had a bad dream I heard you scream and I came in. You asked me to stay and I just guess I feel asleep."

"Oh" I reply and sit up. 

"Have you packed?" he asks. I shake my head. "Come on, lets get some breakfast and then we'll pack" he says kissing my cheek. I look at him and smile. We hadn't talked about what we were and I had no clue that we in the 'we can kiss each other without a detailed response why or a silent treatment'. 

I walk out into the kitchen and sit down. Stefan was making eggs, so I just sit there and wait. 

He puts scrambled eggs on my plate and sits across from me. "We should talk" I explain.

"Yeah" he says. "I don't think I can be just friends with you any more. And I don't want to be."

"What do you mean?" I ask unaware of what he meant. I take a sip of my coffee and look down at my toast.

"I want to be more. I know you've said that you didn't think we should date. But I can't lie. I want to be with you" he explains.

I smile and reply "I want to be with you too." I look at him and he's smiling. I sit up and kiss his hair."I need to get ready" I say. 

I start packing in my room and Stefan comes in. I look over at him and smile. We were like that couple that smiled as soon as they saw their partner. With them everything would be much better and they would be happier.

"Hey" I say.

"Hi." Stefan walks into my room and stands across from me. He looks in my bag and sees underwear lying on top of my tops. He picks a pair up.

"Isn't this what you sister bought you. They look familiar."

"Your an ass" I reply taking them from him. I smile and joke around.

"You wouldn't want me any other way. And besides you've been packing for an hour. I'm done and besides it only for 3 days."

"You know what" I say turning to him. He faces me and looks at me. 

"What?" he says. His breath falls onto my nose. 

"I was gonna tell you something."

"What?" he says. I smile. He looks through me and tickles my stomach. I fall onto my bed he climbs onto the bed and continues to tickle me. I curl up into a bed clenching my body together. 

"I'm not gonna tell ya. You can just suffer" I say. He steps back and I stand up. 

"Can you please tell me?" he says holding my hips as I stand up. 

"Its probably too late now" I say.

"What?" he says seriously. It felt weird him being so serious about something that I would mean as a joke.

"Your not gonna be able to sit down for a week. You haven't rode in a saddle for that long" I say biting my lip. As I try not to smile.

"Seriously?" he asks.

"No" I say smiling. "But don't worry. I know something that will make it hurt less. If you don't focus on the pain it doesn't hurt as much."

"How are you gonna do that?" he asks looking down on me.

"Wanna know?" I ask. He nods his head. I put my hands on his cheek and slowly go in for a kiss." I pull away and look at him.

"That will definitely help" he replies.
