Thwaites & Thompson

Needs

Thompson

I shakily lower myself onto the bed and reach for the bedside lamp to turn it off.

I realize that the sun was already rising when the bluish light floods the room through the balcony curtains.

My throat was still sore from having cried so much.
My chest was still stiff and my hands were still slightly trembling.

I laid back and fisted my hands under the cover.

"Get over here Tess..." Adam commands in a soft tone and I turn my head towards him but my body freezes.

I only unfreeze when he shifts slightly closer and drags me closer by my arm.

I was facing him but then he turns me onto my side to face away before I feel him shift his front closer to my back.

He gently tugs at my arm, silently asking me to lean back into him and I helplessly do. Half of my back was on top of half of his front and he had one arm wrapped around me.

I feel his face move closer to my ear.

"Now let him try and get to you again..." He whispers and I chuckle when I feel him smile.

"I'm not going anywhere..."
"I'll be right here waiting on him..." He says in a mockery tone and I giggle when he chuckles.

"Goodnight Tess..." He sighs but I feel his heartbeats drum against my back.

I sigh inaudibly and I feel all the tension crawl down my body and seep out of the soles of my feet...

I felt like I've got my whole life figured out ahead of me.
I felt like, for once, someone alive, other than my sister, does really care for me, or is willing to...
Someone who wanted nothing in return...

Thwaites

I wake up on the other end of the bed with Tess sleeping right by my side, in the heart of the bed.

It's the first time I've woken up before her. We usually wake up in the same time.
So I take advantage of the chance and I noiselessly turn my head to watch her sleep.

So angelic...
Of course... I rolled my eyes to myself.

A hair strand was wrapped around her neck.
I remember struggling with her hair being all over my face last night.
It's so smooth the tie does it no good. Her hair always escapes it.

I stare down at her slightly parted lips and my heart faintly drums.

I had to admit it to myself...
Every time I looked at those lips of hers, I fantasized catching them between mine.
I remember the feeling when I did was unearthly...
It was dangerous too...

I take a deep breath before I tear my gaze away and slowly and noiselessly get out of bed and walk to the bathroom.

I take a long satisfying shower before I leave the bathroom to step back into my empty room.

I sighed.
I was worried Tess would still be here. I was only in my towel.

I pulled the towel off and walked around my wardrobe to get into fresh clothes.

The cold get's me a bit excited and I wonder if I should contact Cassey after all.

I was never that single guy who was ready to sleep with women he felt absolutely nothing for, but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures...

It's going to take a while for this heartbreak to patch up, I might as well help in speeding it up. Even if I might turn emotionally numb and sexually active...
