Duke’s P.O.V.
I don’t pull Astrid on top of me for one reason; I don’t have the strength to do it. I lay on my back for a while and just when I was about to turn to my side, Astrid whispers, “Don’t move.” I keep still, waiting patiently to see what happens next and then I feel Astrid slowly get on top of me. I smile at her when she’s fully on top and I say, “Hey babe.” Astrid kisses me gently and then lays her head on my chest. I stroke her hair gently and whisper, “I love you.” Astrid doesn’t say anything for a while but then she says, “I love you too.”
I loved it when Astrid told me that she loves me, makes me feel really happy and I say, “You’re beautiful Astrid.” I knew she was blushing because she always did when I told her that she’s beautiful and she says in a shy voice, “Th…thank you.” I smile at that and say, “Your welcome.” After I said that it became very quiet and I was thinking to myself that she was sleeping. I was right though; about her being asleep because I could hear her light breathing. I couldn’t believe though that after everything that I had put Astrid through; that she was still in love with me. I fell asleep then while that thought was still in my head.
I woke up two hours later and I saw that Astrid was still asleep. I kissed the top of her head and I hear Astrid whisper my name and I began to wonder what she was dreaming about. An hour later, I hear Astrid yawning and she looks up at me and smiles up at me. I smile back and I say, “Hey there.” I kiss her lips and say, “Have a nice nap, babe?” After she nods her head, I say, “Did you want to go back home yet?” After she nods her head, we both get off my bed and get into my car and drive off to Astrid’s house. When we arrived I had told her that I wasn’t going inside, only to take her to the front door but Astrid tells me not too and I say, “Are you sure?” After she tells me that she’s sure about it, she gets out of the car and heads towards the front door of her house. I wait to drive off until she’s inside and when she finally gets the door opened, she turns around wave’s goodbye to me and heads inside.
Astrid’s P.O.V.
I really wanted Duke to come inside with me but dad had told me that I wasn’t allowed to bring him inside unless I had called in early and told dad that Duke was coming. When I got inside the house, I locked the door and went upstairs to my room. Just when I was about to get my pajamas on, my phone began playing its ringtone, ‘Under and over it’ by Five Finger Death Punch so I grabbed my phone and saw that it was Raven who was calling. I answered it and we began talking and then Raven asked if she could come and stay the night and I told her that I would have to ask my dad first and then I told her that I’ll text her back. We hung up and then I quickly got my pajamas on and I went into my dad’s room and I saw that he was about to go to bed and he says, “What’s wrong?” I told him that Raven wanted to know if she could stay over the night and he said she could so I left his room and into mine. I texted Raven and told her that she can come stay the night and she sent a message back saying that she’s excited to come over.
I got in bed and fell asleep quickly and I woke up the next day. I got showered and dressed quickly and then I got a message from Raven that she was heading over here now. I went downstairs and into the kitchen to get some breakfast. After I got done eating somebody begins knocking on the door so I got up and went to the door, opened it and Raven is standing there with her stuff. I grabbed one of her bags and we both went upstairs to my room. We began talking about different things and then Raven brought up Duke’s name and I realized that she didn’t know that we were dating again. After she stopped talking about Duke, I told her that him and I began dating again and she was really upset and angry. I prepared my ears for a yelling but she didn’t give me one and I was shocked because she usually would’ve yelled at me. I sighed out loud and Raven says, “Don’t think your off the hook yet. “ I shook my head and say, “Really Raven?” She nods her head and smiles and then says, “You’re my best friend Astrid, and I’m supposed to yell at you.”
