You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 22

I wake up and find Tobias still sleeping with his arms protectively around me. I don't want to wake him but we got to get up. I know it's still early, but I don't want us to eat in the cafeteria. I still need to tell him something and it's better if I do it here, at home. I kiss his lips softly and he stirs a little, but doesn't move. I kiss him again, this time with a little more pressure. When he kisses me back I know his awake and I pull slightly back and open my eyes.

"I thought you wanted to make out," he says sleep thick in his voice.

"Why would you think that?" I ask and he looks down at me smiling.

"Because usually you kiss me once for wake-up and twice if you want more," he says smirking.

"I kissed you a second time because you didn't open your eyes. I thought you were still sleeping," I say with a pout and he kisses me. "And for the record I always want more than one kiss," I say after he pulls back.

"I meant something else," he says still smirking.

"I know what you meant. And don't act like I'm the only one who wants that."

"I never said that. And for the record, I would stay attached to you 24/7," he says grinning.

"That's so wrong on so many levels, sweet, but terribly wrong," I say and slip out of bed.

"What? Why?" he asks confused.

"For starters we wouldn't be able to go to work."

"I could use a vacation," he says.

"What about moving around the apartment?"

"I can carry you."

"What about the bathroom?"

"We can shower together. I don't mind sharing my body wash with you."

"I meant the toilet," I say raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, that. Well that I admit would be problematic," he says pretending to think of a solution. I grab my pillow and throw it his way catching him off guard and hitting him in the face. "Hey, what was that for?"

"Stop joking around, Tobias. Come on, I'm hungry. What would you like to eat," I ask and he finally gets out of bed.

"You."

"Tobias, seriously now."

"Some cereals. I'm not in the mood for anything else."

"Alright."

We walk into the hall and before I know it Tobias picks me up and carries me bridal style down the stairs and sits me down on the couch.

"Why did you do that?" I ask laughing.

"I told you I can carry you," he says walking into the kitchen.

"I know you can. It's not the first time you did it. My question was more why at all?"

"Because I want to hold you in my arms as often as I can," he says smiling. I love it when he smiles. "No, sit back down. I'll bring you breakfast over there," he says and I sit back down. Within a minute he is back and hands me a bowl of cereals with cold milk.

"Thank you," I say and kiss his cheek.

"You're welcome, sweetheart."

"Tobias?"

"Yes?"

"Remember when I had that weird dream that I was in the factionless sector?" I ask. He thinks for a moment before nodding his head. "I had that dream again that same night. It wasn't really a dream. I projected myself there. I have no idea how I managed to do that or why, but I did. I was scared so I tried to focus on mom and when she answered I realized that it wasn't a dream. She helped me get back to my body. The next day when she called I got confirmation that indeed it wasn't a dream. But it didn't happen again until yesterday afternoon." Tobias looks at me with furrowed eyebrows.
