Runaways

Chapter 5

I opened my eyes and I wasn't where I was last night. I was in a bedroom, a big one.

The walls were painted dark blue and white. The sheets were navy and white. There was a window, a really big window with sunlight pouring in through it.

I blinked my eyes and noticed another body laying beside me and the body started to shift in its sleep.

I layed back down and pretended to be asleep while the body shifted more until it sat up.

The figure started walking towards the door and i shift to see at least its back and what I saw was something I never thought i'd see.

"Mason?" I asked sitting up from my laying position.

"Oh you're awake" he turned to me. His hair was everywhere and he was shirtless with grey sweatpants hanging low on his waist, making his sharp V-line very visible. He started walking towards me and I hugged my knees to my chest then I noticed that I was wearing boy boxers and one of his shirts so I leaned against the backboard and cuddled into the blanket that smelled of him.

I swallowed, noticing how dry my throat was. "Where are my clothes?" I asked quietly, twirling the blanket between my fingers.

He sat in front of me and placed his hand over my fiddling hand.
"They're washing. And um...we didnt.."

"Oh okay....thanks." I said as relief washed over me.
I looked up at him through my eyelashes.
He took his hand off of mine leaving it cold and he stood up.

"So uh, you hungry?" He asked turning to me again while running a hand through his messy hair.

I found it attractive for some reason.

"Yeah...do you have a bathroom" I regret asking that the second I asked.

OF COURSE HE HAS A BATHROOM LIA.

"Yeah, its um right there" he pointed to a door in the corner of the room.

I pushed the blanket off of me and stood up and straightened the boxers and brushed past him.

I touched his bare chest. It was warm and smooth and I just wanted to cuddle against it and cry about everything but instead I just walked faster to the door and once I reached it, I closed it softly but fast.

I looked in the mirror and combed my hair out with my hands and tied it into a top knot and squirted a little bit of toothpaste onto my finger and put it in my mouth and swished it around and spit it out then did my business and opened the door. He had on a white t-shirt now with blue jeans.

"Hey, you wanna go get something to eat and then I'll take you home?" He asked twirling his keys on his first finger.

"Yeah sure, I just need my clothes.." I said looking down at the boy boxers I had on and thought about how they got on.

Maybe he put them on me?

He called ari?

How did he even find me?

All these questions flooded into my head at once and I got dizzy and tried to grab a wall to balance myself but ended up just falling. Mason ran towards me.

"Don't call anyone. I'm okay." I told him backing up to the wall and leaning my head on it.

"Lia..."

"Please.." I choked out.

"Okay," He got up and walked to what looked like a closet and came back out with a sweater and some of his sweats.

"Here put these on" he gave his clothes to me and I took them and he helped me to the bed.

"Thanks" I said making eye contact.
