I wake up to see Alex standing over me with her arms on my waist and shoulder like she was shaking me. I open my eyes and look at her to see a deer in the headlights expression on her face. Still tired i open my mouth to speak, but when I do she puts her finger on my mouth and shushes me. I cock my head back and pretend like I'm going to bite her finger off. She smiles at me and giggles a little, forcing a grin out of me. She motions her hands like she wants me to move back, so I do expecting her to sit down on the side of my bed so we can talk. When I finish moving slowly and quietly she lays down next to me and grabs me to cuddle. I grab her back not thinking about it. "Why are we cuddling?" I whisper in the silence.
"Well, I guess I just wanted to cuddle, and I'm not cuddling with Anna shes not really big enough." Alex whispers back at me and I look at her confused.
"Oh, but I am?" I ask sarcastically and she slaps me playfully. She turns her body so that her back is to me and my arm is under her arms wrapped around her stomach. I close my eyes and start to drift asleep when I hear her ask me a question.
"Do you like me? I'm just kinda curious y'know?" She whispers softly. I open my eyes and try to think of a way to tell her.
"Um, I mean." I start to stutter my words a little bit and she looks back at me. "I-I-I mean, uh." I pause once more and take a deep breath. "Yes I-I-I d-do." I say embarrassed. I close my eyes once more this time hoping she wouldn't freak out.
"Really? Why do you like me? I mean seriously of all people you could like, me? Why?" I think about the questions only to realize I have no clue why I like Alex.
"Funny story, I don't actually know why I like you, I guess I just do." I say as I feel her turn her head back forward. I lay there wondering if I should ask her if she likes me but by the time I made my decision she was already asleep in my arms. It was probably the cutest thing I have ever seen. Alex sleeping on it's own is cute, but her being in my arms makes it much more adorable than it already was. I close my eyes back up and fall asleep until morning.
