Charred Feelings

Chapter 3:Charcoaled

When I got back I shuffled straight into my room not wanting to talk to anyone. My body ached and I was hysterical. I felt like I was going insane. My world was crumbling apart. To think that the people I worked under were corrupt.

I layed face down and slept in a blink of an eye. I never noticed the warmness besides me.

By morning I was tangled up in blankets and the warmness soothed me. I curled my arms against the warmth. I brought my face closer.

I had a pleasant dream. Me and Apsen once again kissing.

My lips did touch something though. And it moved. I opened my eyes. A pair of dark eyes stared back at me.

OMG!

I screamed and almost rolled of the bed but he caught me. MIKE.

I groaned and turned away.

His hand was still at my side. "You get turned on by just a touch?"

I turn to face him."NO! AND ESPECIALLY NOT YOU. I fell yesterday and my body hurts."

He lets go of me.

I look at him. Hair all messed up and..oml..and..shirtless.

He turns away. "What are you doing In here? And did you just kiss me?"

Looked at him as if he was the most dumb person in the world. I thought again. Within the walls.

I shivered.

Mike just sat there casually.

"This is my room; I was told to sleep in this room by Stacy and Ms. Cadaver. ", I looked at him again." And I didn't mean to kiss you! I was having..a dream.", I said flat out.

His body was so toned. I turned away again.

"Are you gonna keep sitting there and checking out my body?", he said as my eyes traced over his muscles.

I stopped. "I WASNT!", I got off the bed and went into the bathroom right outside the room.

I washed myself up and brushed my teeth.

I left the bathroom and sat in the the living room. Mike came out and sat on the floor.

"What are you doing here Mike?"

He turns and looks at me.

Stacy walks in wearing her night gown. "He's the dumb brother I was talking about. He uped and he left me and mom.", she said the last part as an insult to Mike.

I looked at him as he played with his shirt. I giggle. Guilty.

"Why did you give her my room?"

Ms Cadaver walked out yawning," because, honey, we didn't know that you would come home."

She and Stacy walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast as me and Mike sat there. He stared at me. I pushed the thoughts of his body out of my mind.

"How much did she tell you", he finally said.

My stomach knotted.

He sighs," You know you can tell me. I know already."

I held back my tongue. Right. Of course he knew.

So many questions rushed into my head.

I could feel his eyes boar into my head.

"Breakfast!!!", Stacy yelled from the kitchen.

I stood up and looked down at Mike one last time and left the room. I'll have to thank Stacy later for saving me. Soon. Everything is later.
