Xienna
I slowly blink my eyes open. I stare at the window blinds until I realize I have no idea where I am.
The pounding in my head and wet clothes soon make everything come back to me. But why am I in a bed?
I turn myself around and I'm met with a face. There's another person in this bed. I let out a scream before falling out of the bed making a loud thump.
The person shoots their head up and quickly scrambles out of the bed.
"Oh shit sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep" they say.
It's him.
The boy I was following in the woods.
"Who the fuck are you?" I manage to say as I back up against the wall.
I'm terrified. My eyes wide with fear. Did he kidnap me?
He laughs a little and then says, "you don't remember me? I'm the guy you were following in the woods."
I look down at the floor in embarrassment.
"You really need to work on your stalker skills" he says jokingly.
"But don't worry, I was watching you too." He smirked.
I studied him now that I get to see him up close. His hair was messy and was sticking up in places from sleeping. He had bright blue eyes and his nose was shaped perfectly.
I didn't realize how long I was staring until he says, "something wrong?"
"Oh...uh sorry...y-your hair" I stumble on my words.
He smirked again then ran his hand through his dark hair. It sent a tingle through my body. No Xienna you can't be attracted to him I scolded myself.
"I'm Chandler by the way."
"Chandler," I repeat his name.
"I'm Xienna."
"Xienna, that's a nice name."
"Thanks" I reply quietly.
I hesitated before asking, "what happened?"
"You fell through the ice and I pulled you out, so I basically saved your life."
"Well...um thanks?" I say awkwardly.
"Anytime" he replies with a laugh.
I give a nervous laugh back. "I um really need to go" I tell him as I start to leave the room.
"Not yet" he stops me before I can leave.
"What do you mean?" I ask suddenly scared again.
"You can't go out there with wet clothes."
I'm then reminded of the wet clothes that still cling to my body.
"Well these are the only clothes I have so I'll be going now" I tell him as I try to walk out again.
He stops me again and says, "I'll give you clothes then."
I give him a questioning look but he continues to open a drawer and pull out a sweatshirt and sweatpants. He hesitates for a second before opening another drawer and pulling out a pair of boxers. My eyes widened a little and I could feel my cheeks turning pink.
"I...um...I...just thought-"
"Thanks" I interrupt him.
He just tightens his lips into a line in acknowledgement and handed me the pile of clothes.
We just look at each other until I ask, "um is there a bathroom?"
"Oh yeah sorry, it's over there" he points.
I walk over and close the door behind me. It felt good as I peeled the wet clothes off my body. I look at the boxers for a second before deciding to put them on. I have to say they are really comfy but it does feel kind of weird knowing that they were...you know where. I then put on the sweatshirt and sweatpants. Warm clothes feel good on my body. They were a little big but it's ok.
I walk out of the bathroom and Chandler looks me up and down before giving me a nervous smile. I look down at the floor as I feel myself blushing again.
"Well I should be going now" I say.
"Meet me tomorrow by the lake. Just try not to fall in this time." The corners of his mouth go up in a smile.
I can't help but smile back. The first genuine smile that I've smiled in a while.
As he opens the door he says, "see you tomorrow."
I give him a little wave before I head out into the cold.
It's a long walk before I reach my house. When I do I climb back up the tree and into my room. I'm glad my dad didn't notice I was gone or if he did then he probably didn't care.
I didn't even realize how exhausted I was until I got home and the throbbing pain in my head came back too. I didn't even change out of Chandler's clothes.
I just climbed right into bed. I liked the smell of his sweatshirt. It comforted me and I fell asleep quickly.
Woo! Chan finally makes an appearance lol hope you liked this chapter!
