Things Will Get Better... Wont They?

Chapter 7

I woke up crying. Why did I have to think of this?! Everyone was sleeping and the room was pitch black. I felt around for my phone so I could check the time. I found it and unlocked it and blinded myself. I wiped my eyes so I could see again. It was 3am.

I rolled over to get out of bed and felt Seth stirring beside me. I got out of bed slowly, trying my hardest not to wake him up. I succeeded and used my phone as a light as I made my way to the back door. We had a beautiful back yard, it was small, but not extremely small. It was really dark out there, so I turned the light on and layed on the hammock, I closed my eyes. This spot was always an escape, as long as I had my music and my hammock I was going to be fine. 

I was drifiting off, my eyes still puffy and sore from crying about the dream. Before I fell asleep I heard the door open and foot steps heading towards me. I didn't want to open my eyes, I was still a child inside, the boogie monster is after me. I giggled at myself. 

"Olie. Are you okay?" I heard a deep soothing voice. I still didn't want to open my eyes. "I know you're awake. Open your eyes or I will lick you."

I opened my eyes straight away. 

"Seth! Why-y! I was almost back to sleep." I whined.

"Because I got worried. I rolled over half awake and no one was next to me. So I searched for you." He smiled his big toothy grin, it was so adorable.

"You're cute." I mumbled.

"What was that?" He began eyeing me.

"What was what?" I asked trying to sound clueless.

"What was what you said?"

"I didn't say anything." I smiled awkwardly, giving away my lie.

"Don't make me jump on you."

"You wouldn't." I challenged.

He prepared himself to jump and I squealed hiding under my arms. He pulled my arms back revealing my face. I closed my eyes tightly.

I wasn't sure if this next part was a dream or not, but he crawled onto the hammock and layed ontop of me. 

"What are you doing?" I questioned in a shocked tone.

"I'm laying here."

"Ontop of me though?"

"You got it." He looked up at me and winked. That made me forget how to breathe. He began playing with my side, it was tingly and tickled a bit. I tried not to squirm. His fingers made their way higher. Past my chest, along my neck and to my face. His thumb constantly grazed my cheek and my lips. His feathery light touch sent tingles down my spine.

His face got closer to mine.

"I really like you Olie. I've known you for less then 24 hours, and I don't believe in love in first sight. But you're different. You have a different vibe and aura to everyone else. It's a serene aura. It is beautiful." He whispered.

All I could do was smile slightly as he breathed against my neck. 

He rubbed his nose up and down my neck, breathing slowly. It was sending me crazy. I was squirming a bit. He began kissing along my jaw line slowly until he made his way to the corner of my lips, I guessed he could feel me smiling because I felt him smile against my lips. He kissed my slowly for a bit, brushing his tongue lightly against my lips. I opened my mouth as he did. Our mouths moved in unison, but it stopped just as fast as it started due to someone clearing their throat. Seth quickly climed off me to lay next to me and I looked to see who it was.

There was Luce, standing in the doorway looking like she was glowing because she was in front of the light. She had her hair up in a pony tail and her arms crossed.

"Am I seeing this correctly?" She asked still standing by the door.

"Depends on what you're seeing?" Seth said being smart.

All I could do is hide my face in his chest.

"I was wondering why the light out here was on. I could see it from the hall way. It kinda woke me up."

I looked up at her and she grinned.

"And you missy, what are you doing with a boy you barely know." Luce winked.

"I.. Um.. I.. Er.. GAH!" I threw my hands up in the iar and covered up my face, I heard Luce laughing and a faint snore beside me. I turned around and saw Seth sleeping.

I pecked him on the head and turned back to Luce.

"He's sleeping." I said low enough for Luce to hear it. She mouthed an okay and went back inside. I ended up falling asleep again after she left.
