Mr. Impossible

We enter the dorm as thunder fills the room. Its about 10:35 by now. "Im going to shower." Erick tells me. "You can take one after me." He says. "Ok" i tell him.

I lay on my bed and turn on my phone. I missed a call from my mom and have 3 facebook notifications. I call my mom back.

"Hello?" She answers on the second ring. "Hey mom." I say. "Why didn't you answer my call from earlier? I was worried sick olivia. I thought you got hurt or were lost somewhere." She goes off. Here we go again. "Sorry mom, im kinda in college. I was packing my things away and my phone was off." I say.

I dont want to tell her i was with erick. She will come down here and order me to get a new dorm. "Alright honey. I understand. I miss you." She cries. Oh lord. I sigh.

Erick comes out of the bathroom with shorts hanging low and water drops in his hair. "I miss you too." I tell my mom. Erick furrows his eyebrows. "I'll call you when i get a chance." I tell her again. "Okay sweetie. Goodnight. I love you." She says. "I love you too." I hang up.

Erick glares at me from across the room. "You have a boyfriend?" He says coldly. What? Ohhhh. "No... that was my mom." I giggle. "Oh" he says.

"Im going to go take a shower." I tell him. He nods.

After i shower, i brush my teeth and get dressed. I walk out of the bathroom. I plug my phone in the charger and turn to erick. "So you dont have a boyfriend?" He asks me.

"No, i dont." I tell him honestly. "Good." He grabs me and i fall onto the mattress. He wraps his arms around my waist and sighs into my hair. "I love it when you use my shampoo." He tells me.

I giggle. "So does that mean I don't have to buy my own? I can just use yours from now on?" I ask. "Mmm." He says as he nibbles my neck. "What are you doing to me?" He asks me. "Maybe i should ask you the same question, erick." I say to him.

"Ive never been this way. I used to always be that guy that didnt give a shit about anyone else. The guy that doesn't wants to always be alone... the guy that doesn't fall for anyone." He tells me, breathless.

I gasp. Lost for words. "What do you mean 'you used to be'?" I ask him. He doesn't answer for a minute. "You walked through that door." He points to the wooden door.

"Erick..." im lost for words.

"Lets talk about this some other time, Liv. Right now, lets just go to sleep." He says. I nod and slide down. He pulls me into his chest and we fall asleep.
