Angel Next Door

Itches and Tickles

Evan's POV:
Stupid itch please stop. Please.
I need a distraction, no I need a saw. Yeah a saw that way I can get this cast off and stop the infuriating itch. Maybe I could shove something in there to-no it'd just get stuck. Ok let's focus on.....

My eyes search the room only to land on something more nerve wracking than the itch on my cast-bound thigh; my sexy as hell, half naked, ex-girlfriend.

Dressed in my shirt and a pair of black panties, my fingers ache to touch. Having her here has been great, but also hard. Sure she let's me hold her during a movie or grab ahold of her when she's helping me get around or whatever, but I miss us.

I flop my head back shutting my eyes, my phone vibrates on the nightstand next to me, with a groan I snatch it up checking the screen.

Taissa: "Hey. How are you?"

Itchy and frustrated. How are you?

Me: "I'm alright how are you? Glad to hear from you. :)"

Taissa: "I'm good. Something wrong? Same to you :) I have some....news. Idk if you'll think it's good or bad."

Me: "Eh same crap diff day. What's the news?"

Concern creeps in my system. What could the news be? I check my phone again even though I know she hasn't replied yet. A quick glance-well a lingering glance-to (Y/N)'s side of the bed confirms she's still sound asleep. As best I can from this angle; I tuck her in, running my fingers through her soft hair when Taissa replies.

Taissa: "Sorry for slow reply. Ran into Emma the other day. Says she misses you and really wants to talk to you but is afraid that you don't want anything to do with her."

Shit.

My eyes revert back to the sleeping beauty beside me. I can't hurt her again, I'd lose her for sure. Talking to Emma could jeopardize any relationship I have with (Y/N).

Me: "What did you tell her?"

Taissa: "I just told her it was up to you whether or not you guys talked. I'm friends with you both so I don't want in the middle of this. Plus I haven't gotten to meet (Y/N) yet. Just FYI."

Me: "Thanks Tai. I'll make sure you two meet. She is a fan, wants to meet you too."

Taissa: "Great :) Well I gotta run. Keep in touch ok."

Me: "Will do. Later gator."

Taissa: "Later."

Placing my phone on my nightstand I decide to take a chance; I pull (Y/N) into my arms, holding her close and tight. She wiggles around to face me, eyes still closed, she opens her mouth but I cut her off.

"Please. Please just let me hold you." She shocks me by snuggling into my chest, her hands against my bare chest, her lips rest against my neck. I bury my face in her hair pretending that she's mine again.

I gasp slightly when her hand glides across my rib cage to my back, I have to suppress a shiver against the tickling sensation her fingers cause where try dangle across my lower back, I feel her smile against my neck.

"I know you're awake. I felt you smile just now."
"Oh my god no! Stop!" She giggles crazily; I also happen to know that she's ticklish on her ribs.
"E-Evan stop! I'll end up hurting you! Please!" She begs through giggles, her hands grab at my wrists but I'm stronger so she can't push me away.

Finally deciding she's had enough, I pull her close, her chest heaves against mine as she tries to catch her breath.

Minutes tick by while we lay in peaceful silence just taking each other in, the spell is only broken by her pulling me down connecting our lips.
Her hand a welcome warmth on the back of my neck, my hands tangle in her hair, we greedily suck and nip at each other's lips until we have to pull away gasping for air.

"Wow." I huff against her lips, "yeah" she huffs back. I peck her once more not wanting to lose this moment, she skims her thumb against my lips, her eyes never leaving mine.

Could this be us getting back together? God I hope so.

A/N: Hey guys. Sorry if this chapter sucks. Been kind of down lately so been having some trouble collecting my thoughts. Anyways hope you guys like it. ❤️
