Wild heart - Bradley Will Simpson fan fiction

ELEVEN

~* Brad's POV * ~

I look down at Becky to find hear asleep on my chest, with a hint of a smile on her face. I wonder what she's thinking about... Connor and Tristan are also asleep. James yawns and stretches, so I reach over Becky, grab the remote control, turning the TV off before I smile at James as he stands up and stretches again.

He shakes Connor's shoulder, gently calling his name as he blinks his eyes open and stretches his arms out.

" We're going to bed now Con. Come'on." Connor slowly stands up and he wishes us all good night before sleepily trudging out of our room.

James also says goodnight and I reply as he leaves the room, making sure Con gets to his room safely. I gently move Becky off my chest, being careful not to wake her, so I can climb out of bed.

I wake Tris up and tell him to sleep in here tonight, as not to disturb Joe or Dean. Tris climbs into one of the single beds and is instantly out like a light.

I turn back round to Becky, who is now just in her underwear. I must have woken her. I remove my tee and joggers before climbing into bed next to Becky. I roll over to turn the light out and cuddle up to Becky, falling asleep with her pressed to my bare chest.

I'm woken by someone moving around in bed. I let myself adjust to the darkness before finding Becky sat up in bed, the light from her phone brightening up her face.

" Can't sleep?" I ask, sitting up beside her. My voice deep and groggy from sleep.

She smiles and gives a little giggle at the sound if my voice as she shakes her head. " I had another nightmare."

" Another one? Now often do you have them?" I ask, concern present in my sleepy voice. I stroke her her cheek with my thumb and kiss her temple, ingering there for a bit.

" Umm, about...2, maybe 3 times a week." She answers, sounding like it's nothing serious.

" Do you want to talk about them?" I question, moving my hand from her cheek to gently rub her scared thigh.

She shakes her head. " Maybe another day. I'm tired now." She tells me, avoiding my eye contact.

She places her phone on the night stand and snuggles back down under the covers. I lay down beside her to face her and start twirling her hair in my firgers as she smiles at me.

She shuffles closer to me, closing any space there was between us.

" Good night, Bradley." Becky whispers.

" Good night, baby." I whisper back.

I gently kiss her and I watch as she closes her eyes. I do the same.
