Storm clouds

Chapter-9 Essence

My eyes flew open as I felt the warmth again, now more intense. Sebastian lay on my bed facing me. We were in my bedroom and no longer in the couch. From all I could say by looking at the window behind him, it was still dark outside. The window was open, causing the curtains to fly and make the room more cold.

My eyes switches back to his gorgeous face. It was so relaxed which is quite rare. It looked as if he was more than relaxed, blissfully calm. The table lamp behind me which lay beside me cast beautiful shades of archaic blue.

My eyes traced his perfect jawline, the angular cheekbones and glass-smooth lips. The lamp light changed his eyes into a mysterious shade of electric blue now and then.

His hands rested on the side of my waist and then without any warning pulled me close. It was so abrupt that I gasp. His lips form into the shape of the cresent moon as he smiles at me, his eyes twinkling.

That's it, his smile did it. My heart took off hundred miles per hour. It was so loud that I was afraid he could actually hear it.

His hands moved to the small of my back which sent a slight shiver down my spine. I didnt knew if he knew but my weak spot was right there. He seemed to realize the way my body reacted differently that something was up. The minute gap that was in between us immediately closed as his chest hit mine. His lips were so close to mine that I thought if he spoke, it would actually brush through mine. His heart also seemed to pick up its pace which gave me a secret satisfaction. Atleast I was not the only one having weird reactions going on.

Instead of speaking, his lips directly pressed onto mine. I could feel the perfect texture of his lips pressing onto mine but this was not right! This is not supposed to happen! I kept mine shut, my lips pressed hard on each other to show him this was wrong but I couldn't push him away either. His eyes closed not really catching onto what I wanted him to understand.

My eyes snap open as I hyper ventilate. I sit up so quickly that I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach. Sure I was in my room but there was no sign of Sebastian anywhere. Everything was exactly the same except that the window outside showed the light pink strips of light marking the beginning of dawn.

The dream felt so real, I could still feel his warmth seeping into my body, his lips and even where his hands were placed at the small of my back. I didn't feel warm anymore now. Cold sweat broke on my forehead, hands and feet. I felt cold.

My clock read 4:45 am. I look around for the source of the wind and spot my window open, letting in another fresh bust of wind into the room, causing me to slightly shiver. I didn't even realize the window was open.

My mind swirls back to the past event and my cheek slightly tingles from the phantom touch of his lips on my skin. I remember falling asleep in his shoulder in the hall and now here I was, in my room, tucked nicely in my duvet. I couldn't recollect any such case of  walking back to my room.

My mind was still clogged due to sleep and trying to recall everything together led to a headache.

A sudden thought hit me which was dizzying. What if Sebastian carried me to my room after I fell asleep. Thinking of lieing in his arms as he slowly picked his way up to my room, gazing at my sleeping facet.

Should I be embarrassed? What if I looked like a dead person when I was sleeping? What if my mouth was wide open? Did I babble in my sleep? No wait, I don't sleep talk.....or even sleepwalk. Thanks Lord, since I sleep like the dead, I can avoid myself from blubbering embarrassing thoughts. But was my mouth open? Wait, it couldn't be as I remember the sleeping picture that Kate took of me last week, as an attempt to black mail me by threatening me that she would post the picture in instagram if I didn't buy her a box full of Reese's Buttercups.
She did win on that one but I also made sure the picture was deleted to avoid future captures.
But that was a whole other story.

But why was I so self-conscious? I couldn't bring myself even mentally to believe that I actually did care about Seb.

I look at my clock again which read in its neon outlook 4:55 am.
Wow,I actually lay drivelling for past 10 minutes! But it was good since I had a dream less night!

I get up and close the window. Thinking about Seb, I didn't even realize how cold it was. The warm memories of his were mesmerising.

I take an immediate shower to try and shake away the stiffness in my body. I put on a black tank top and a night blue cardigan and fashionable jeans.

I walk out my room to see Cara and Kate asleep in their own rooms. Having nothing to do, I clean the already cleaned hall and kitchen once more. Cleaning rooms is one of the most annoying thing in the whole world. But here I was desperate to do anything that would keep my mind off things for a while.

I make breakfast and soon time seemed to fly away surprisingly. With no time, Kate and Cara were already up and showered and we were all ready for another day of school.
