Living A Dream

Chapter 14

     "Please." she said. I closed the door and sighed. I walked back to her bed and looked down.

     She had a few tear stains on her cheeks. I took my thumb and rubbed them off. She looked at me and slightly smiled.

     Damn she was beautiful in every way. I bent down and picked up her blanket. I threw it across her body, covering her.

     She snuggled into it and let out a sigh. She started to relax a bit more. I pulled over the chair and sat next to her bed, just like she did with me.

     We looked into each other's eyes through the darkness. A few minutes later her breathing started to get slower and even. Her eyes fluttered closed and she fell asleep.

     I watched her as she slept. She was calm, peaceful. I adjusted myself in the chair a bit and then looked back. Her eyes were open again.

     "Come here." she said sleepily. For a moment I was confused as to what she meant. She then patted the space in her bed on the other side. I stayed where I was.

     "I'm not going to let you fall asleep in that chair." she said. I shook my head, I wasn't going to sleep with her. She let out a yawn.

     "I'm not going to sleep until you get in here with me." she said. She knew I couldn't say no now. She's found out the trump card with me. I'll do anything to better others, especially her.

     I got out of the chair and put it back to where it was. I then climbed over her body and laid down. Her bed was against the wall so I and my back against that and I laid on my side.

     She turned over so she was facing me. We again looked at each other in silence. This time, it was really awkward.

     "You don't have to be against the wall you know." she said quietly. Sleep was starting to take over again. I just shook my head and stayed where I was.

     She then turned and snuggled into me. She was cold against my body so I shivered a bit. Yikes, I don't know how she's that cold.

     "You sure know how to get what you want." I said through the darkness. I could feel her move against me.

     "I'm just terrified okay?" she said to me while yawning. I started rubbing her back and she relaxed into me. She let out a sigh as I kept massaging her back.

     As she was starting to warm up, she fell back asleep. I laid with her her until I relaxed. Slowly, I fell asleep next to her.

     Light had filled the room and I slowly opened my eyes. The sun was peeking through her window. Speaking of her.

     Alex's head was on my chest and her legs were tangled with mine. She was still sound asleep. I watched as her back raised as she breathed.

     She's so gentle when she sleeps. I made sure not to move and disturb her. I listened to her breathing and the sound of birds chirping.

     Minutes passed and she shifted her body. She moved up further and nuzzled her face into my neck. She took a deep breath and relaxed again.

     "You're comfortable." she said groggily. She let out a little laugh and I just shook my head slightly in response. "It's a compliment Toby."

     "The only person who's called me Toby is my mother." I said with a gentle voice. She moved her head a bit and I felt her hot breath on my neck.

     "Sorry, I won't call you that." she said into my neck. I still felt her breath against me. I slowly ran my fingers through her hair.

     Her hair is long and soft. I kept running my fingers through her hair until she let out a yawn.

     She slid off me and laid on her side facing me, blush appearing on her cheeks. She looked around a bit at the situation we were in.

     She put her hand on my arm, feeling the muscle that was protruding. I resisted the urge to touch her back.

     We laid there just looking at each other. I could stay here forever with her. We started slowly falling back to sleep until someone came through the door.

     "Tobin is... Oh. You're right here." came her mother's voice. Alex rolled around and faced the door where her mom was.

     "Sorry. I'll just leave you two alone." she said walking out. Alex flipped back over, putting our faces only inches apart. I wanted to kiss her so bad.

     "We should probably get up." I said, hoping she'd move so I wasn't tempted any longer. She sat up and got out of her bed.

     I followed her out the door and we started heading to the stairs until I heard my phone ring from the guest room. I walked in and looked to see who was calling.

     "Mom?" I said into the phone.
