Demons without Desire

Sleepless night

I sat on the end of the bed looking at the moonlight. My eyes were burning from lack of sleep but whenever I laid down, my body felt compelled to sit back up again.

I'd cried myself to exhaustion earlier, I'd sat with Zak and we discussed things. He was making me have the best of both worlds. Refusing to let me chose between him and my dream. I was ready to give up my dream simply because losing him wasn't an option for me.. Not anymore.  We came to an agreement that he would help me block, to block potential energy that could harm me, how my body was too open to negativity and that itself needed work on.

And I to agree.. He knew his stuff that's for sure.

Twisting my head I looked over to see him asleep in bed, his hand turned over waiting for mine. My mind was still running around with what had happened, how angry we were with each other.

"You're creeping me out by watching me sleep." Zak spoke making me look over at him again.

"I was looking at the moon."

"Yeah. You were looking at me too. Kaylee, come on sweetie.." He sighed.

"My head won't shut off.." I mumbled turning back to look at the moon.

I felt the bed moving and felt Zak's body engulf mine as he nuzzled into my shoulder. "Please come sleep with me.. No funny business."

I smiled at his groggy voice, there wouldn't be no funny business. He was almost passing out leaning on me.

"Lay down." I whispered back to him.

"You coming?"

"In a second." I replied.

His body went deadweight against mine as his breathing stopped. I felt my heart pause in my chest waiting for that breath, waiting for the intake. My senses were reacting, waiting for the breeze of his breath across my back. Eyes widening I whispered his name. Not getting a response I ended up shouting at him causing him to choke and open his eyes.

"What?! Who! Where?!" He shouted grabbing me close to him looking around the room.

"You! You idiot!" I snapped pushing his chest.

"Huh?"

"You weren't breathing you twerp!"

"Really? Awesome.." He answered smiling to himself.

"Imma slap you again." I warned.

"No you won't."

"No I won't but don't do that." I whined.

"Scared you?"

"Yes!" I hissed.

"Cool. Second is up." He replied dragging me up the bed with him. I landed heavy onto his arm and looked at his face instantly for some reaction.

"Stop staring." He grunted.

"Stop staring." I replied mocking him making one of his eyes open.

"I'll find another use for that mouth.." He replied making me gasp.

"You said no funny business." I reminded him.
