Don't cry wolf

•Chapter 4•

I wake up feeling tired and a little lethargic, I wanted to open my eyes and for him to be there next to me. I don't want to wake up on my own anymore, which I know sounds crazy considering I know nothing about this guy but I just want the feeling I had last night as he touched my cheek, I want to feel that way everyday. Thinking about him not being real makes my chest tighten, I want to burst out into tears close my door and surround myself with chocolate cake.

I check my phone, to see its 9:45am. I also have a text message from bates

Bates :)
Good morning gorgeous, I'm gonna come round so we can work on that history poster ok? Be there at 10:15am. See u soon x
sent 9:30am

Shit shit shit! I jump up out of my bed forgetting the dream from last night as I panic, I quickly jump in the shower feeling more awake than earlier as the water hits my face.

I walk out of my room in my towel, my hair dripping down my back, to hurriedly try and pick an outfit before bates gets here.

"Ahhhhh! what the fuck bates? You're early?"

I scream noticing a smug looking bates sitting on my bed, I watch as his eyes roam down from my eyes all the way to my legs. I feel uncomfortable as he does so shifting from one foot to another anxiously.

"Uh bates?"

"Yeah what?" He replies still looking over my body with what looks like, lust? I look closer and notice his eyes getting darker, I shrug it off, it must just be the lighting.

Yeah the 'lighting'

"Do you mind leaving while I get ready?"

"Actually I do" he mutters while pushing himself of my bed and out my room, shutting the door behind him.

I sigh out of relief, finally! That was awkward.

I walk over to my walk in wardrobe picking out some underwear, black high waisted skinny jeans, a white jumper and chucking on my adidas superstar trainers. I put my still dripping wet hair into a messy bun taking note to deal with it later.

Finally I open the door, for bates to fall into my room.
"Why were you leaning on the door?" I ask laughing and looking down at a very unimpressed looking bates.

"Why not?" He replies while getting up and dusting himself off.

"Okayyyyy... Well let's get started on this poster shall we?"

"Ok let's do this"

"Finally thank god you're my partner Addison, it would've taken way longer if I had someone else"

"What why?" I ask confused, there's plenty of people in our class that could do as great of a job as we did.

"Because you're the smartest in the class! Duh"

"Whatever bates" I laugh while blushing.

"Hey bates?"

"Yeah addy?"

"Can I talk to you about something?"

"Yes of course you can always talk to me about anything, I'll always be here for you"

"Okay well I think I'm going crazy, my subconscious is always going crazy and talking to me like its, its own individual. She even growled at me! Now I'm pretty sure that's not normal! And I'm having these weird dreams about this guy, I can never move or speak in these dreams even though I want to. I have this emotional and physical connection to him and every time he jumps through my window I want to run to him so he'll just hold me, I want to feel the tingles I felt when he touched my face in my dream. Is this normal? Am I crazy?" I ask anxiously, wondering how bates will react to me talking about another guy.
