Twisted Moon - Book 3 of the Black Moon series - Chapter 29: Revelations

(Noah's POV - Wed. 25 March 2015)

Huh... Has the roof broken down or what? The rain sounds louder than it usually does against the windows... Or maybe the windows are open...? Whatever the reason is, it has pulled me out of my sleep when I didn't want to wake up because I am feeling so comfortable right now. The mattress is even better than usual and it smells of Camden... I wish I could stay in bed for ever even if I know I need to get up and go to school; my first real day of school!! But wait... why is it smelling so strong of Camden?

Cracking an eye open, I now remember that I went to sleep in his bed last night. I felt terribly lonely yesterday evening despite Jess's presence. It wasn't my first evening on my own while Camden was working late, but my mood kept worsening with every hour passing by, hoping that Camden would end up finishing earlier than planned like it sometimes happen. I should have felt good after the great news of the day! Damn! I managed pretty well at the tests for someone who hasn't been in school for a year and a half! And Camden sounded really proud of me when we spoke on the phone; I have to admit that his praise made me feel quite... weird inside.

Yet, I couldn't help the downward emotions. I would have liked him to spend the evening me instead of working. I wasn't expecting anything exceptional contrary to what I teased him with; just a quiet moment with him, either watching TV or just talking. And then I remembered that text I saw on his mobile phone on Monday morning. That Joshua guy said they were to meet on Tuesday, but Camden didn't tell me anything about that. What would have been so secret about meeting his friends? My mind then started wandering off to dark places, upset that Camden might have lied to me about his plans for the evening. I was tempted to call him to find out, but I thought better of it. He must have had his reasons.

I saw the usual spiral get into action in that stupid brain of mine, my anxiety growing, but I was more reactive this time. I knew that the one thing that would soothe me was Camden, so for lack of having the man himself by my side, I just thought that going to the place where it would smell the most of him would help and it did. Once comfortably settled in his bed, I quickly calmed down and fell asleep shortly after. So that explains what I am doing here this morning!

And it is not raining. This is just Camden taking a shower in the attached bathroom. Now both my eyes open widely and I sit up in bed. There is no door between the bedroom and the bathroom, just the wall and a large arched entrance. Would I dare sneaking in? Argh probably not... and anyway, it is too late as the water suddenly stops running. I hear some shuffle in the bathroom for a moment and quietly remain on the bed, awfully itched to scoot over to the feet of the bed and peek inside the bathroom. What I would give to see Camden naked... To my utter dismay, he finally shows up in the bedroom, already dressed, when I hoped to see him with only a towel around his waist!

"Good morning, little bed-squatter..." he says humorlessly, buckling his belt. "Did you sleep well?"

"Hey... yes, thank you... You're already leaving?" I ask, seeing how he seems to be in a hurry.

"Soon, yes. I'll go prepare breakfast downstairs," he replies rather sternly and scurries out of the room, followed by Jess.

Hmm... He is not in the best mood again... Well, whatever, I get up and hastily go get ready in my own bathroom, choose a nice fitted pair of blue jeans and a black long-sleeved tee-shirt, then hurry downstairs. Camden is finishing his coffee when I walk into the kitchen and from how he is sitting straight on his stool, I can tell that he is nervous... or at least tense. I go to pour myself some coffee before I sit on another stool across from him and start eating from the plate of eggs in front of me.
