Chapter Six: Down the Rabbit.. Well?

--------Adelynne's POV-------

I woke up to the sound of a shower running, and soft sunlight staining the blanket over me.. And...

Oh god. Chris. I'm literally right up against him.

I moved backwards slightly and froze, my breathing hitching as I realized his arm was around me. Like. Under my head, and around my back, his hand resting on my hip. I sighed softly and laid back where I was. At the moment I settled back down, he pulled me closer, still asleep. I felt heat rise to my face. He made a small sound, and pulled me even closer into him. I bit my thumb and Nuzzled into him- maybe I wasn't close enough?
He stopped pulling me closer, but continued to hold me close to him. I molded to his body perfectly. He was so warm, and his tattoos. God his tattoos. I could stare at them all day.
I looked up at his face. He looked so peaceful. I took my thumb out of my mouth, and lightly traced the tattoos of his left arm, which was over his stomach, watching as the lines disappeared and reappeared under my index finger. I could do this all day.
I was so preoccupied with Chris's tattoos, and his steady breathing, and the warmth of his body, I didn't realize the water turned off or even the door open. Or that Jeff and Marra were smirking at us, and that Chris was smiling and blushing, clearly enjoying the moment, still not letting me go.
Marra cleared her throat. "Sleep well, you two?" She asked, obviously proud of herself. I froze.
"I, for one, slept excellent." Chris said, blushing as much as I was.
"Likewise," I said, looking up at him. He smiled at me and gave me a small squeeze before sitting up.
"Well, I'm gonna go take another shower, while we are here," Chris said, yawning and stretching before getting up and getting a change of clothes and going to shower.
I sighed and laid on my back, eagle spread on the bed, blushing still.
Marra giggled and I narrowed my eyes at her. "What's so funny?"
"You're faces. You guys were so red! Its so cute!" She said, giggling.
"Shut up!" I said, tossing a pillow at Her, smiling.
"Oh, and Adelynne?" She said, softly.
"Yeah?"
"You were... Whimpering again."
I groaned. I hadn't done it in weeks. I guess I was in shock until now, or something. "I haven't done it before now? I mean, like since all this started?"
    Marra shook her head. "No." I sighed in relief.
    "Adelynne?" She asked, concerned.
    "Marra?" I asked.
    "Nothing. I just don't want it to get bad again." She said, looking away.
    "I don't want that either.." I trailed off and thought about how bad it was- I would cry, and scream, and whimper in my sleep.
    "Bad? Bad how? I'm confused.." Jeff trailed off.
    "It's nothing, Jeff." Marra said, ending the conversation.
     Chris came out of the shower and I was next. I got up and got my things, and ran into him, nearly falling over.
    He caught me by pushing me back, and ended up pushing me against the wall, his hand on my hip. I blushed dark red, and looked up at his blue eyes.
   God they were so blue.
   "U-uhm, I'm sorry, I'm still half asleep," I said quietly, stuttering.
    He blushed and removed his hand, stepping back. "I-its fine. I am too."
    I glanced at Marra and saw her smirking. My breath hitched and I went and took a shower, taking my phone with me so I could listen to music. I sang to every single one, while lathering up my body the seven times I did.
  I got out reluctantly and got dressed. I stepped out of the bathroom, and found that Marra hadn't moved, Jeff was laying next to her, and Chris was laying down with a blanket. They all had fallen asleep. I smiled softly and laid next to Chris, leaving room between us, and facing away from him. I curled up and yawned quietly, putting my hand under my head.   
    I started to doze off, and all of a sudden there was an arm sneaking under my body, and pulling me back.
    Chris pulled me against him and wrapped his arms around me. I glanced back at him and he smiled sheepishly. I smiled and went back to laying down, and we fell asleep like that.
