Nikes - A Blake Richardson (New Hope Club) FanFiction

Peaceful night

We had a great evening. Before we all had watched a movie, sitting on the couch, we had talked a lot about everything and nothing and one more time I had noticed that Selena had been less shy.

But now she had gone to bed. Me and the other boys were left.

We had never talked about Selena's inhibitions in front of Adam but this time George started. "Selena gets better, doesn't she?"

Reece said, "Yeah she does." And I nodded as well.

Then we looked at Adam to see what he thought about it.

"Yep she does. I'm glad you guys are here, it was always ... a little problem with her being so stiff with boys. But yes, it seems like you guys change that." He smiled.

Adam stared at a point somewhere in the air and considered the subject. Unconsciously he touched his scar on his neck while thinking. He always did when he was thinking. Again I wondered what had happened to these siblings in the past. Where had his scar came from? Why was Selena so ... how she was?

But neither me nor Reece or George dared to ask. We knew that this subject wasn't something to speak about like the weather. If they were ready to talk about it they would do it. Until then it wasn't our business.

We were curious nevertheless. When we were alone we often speculated what could have happened to them. But we had never found a possible solution what could have explained that.

After a while I said goodnight to the others and went upstairs as well. When I was in the bathroom I noticed that I had forgotten something in Selena's room. Therefore I opened her door and saw her naked back as she stood backwards to me in front of her bed.

I cursed and she screamed, covering her frontside with her arms even though I couldn't see her anyway.

"What is it with you not locking the door when you are naked?!" I blamed her and closed the door again.

Selena yelled, "And why don't you knock before you enter my room?!"

Well, that was a good question. I replied nothing.

When she was done she opened the door and I stepped in. She glanced at me before taking a step aside to let me in. I could see how she tried to not look at my body when she noticed that I was only wearing my shorts. I tried not to grin.

I took what I needed and left the room again.

Selena's P.O.V.

I had been very happy when Blake came in my room even though he caught me naked again. I had thought that he would sleep here again but apparently he had only come in because he had forgotten something.

When he left again I was a bit sad. But his primitive bed next to my bed gave me hope that he would come back. Maybe he just didn't want the others to know that he slept in my room?

My hope faded more and more because an hour later he still didn't come back. I didn't dare to fall asleep without him and waited a further hour. He will come, he will come! I repeated in my head.

Right when I got so tired that I was in a half-sleep my door got open very silently. My heart beat a bit faster.

The person who came in closed the door behind him and tip toed into my room. I could feel that it was Blake. He laid down on his primitive bed.

Blake was quiet for a moment. I assumed that he listened to my breaths to get to know whether I slept or not.

I pretend that I was asleep and tried to breathe steady and regularly. After a couple of seconds he was convinced that I slept and turned around, in my direction. Suddenly I felt his hand on mine. I struggled in leaving my hand where it was but I managed it. What was he doing?

He interwined his fingers with mine and didn't move anymore. I didn't know why but somehow his fingers felt familiar to me.

At first it felt very strange but when I got used to it I somehow enjoyed the touch. Nevertheless it kept me from sleeping because it made my heart beat faster. Some when I finally was able to sleep.

It was a very peaceful night and I dreamed of surfing and the movie we had seen in the evening.
