Taming the inner her

chapter 60

Clarie's pov

It's been a week after he shot Brett, a week without school, a week in my house plotting with my friends without anyone knowing, a week in my room with Eiden and a whole week of waiting, waiting for him to reply to the text I sent him since he didn't pick up the call. It was a week already meaning I should be seeing him again the next day, Tuesday. That's if he comes.

I turned on the bed still in his arms to look at him "do you think he'll come? " my words and voice were full of doubt

His eyes were careful and gentle "he would. Even though it's hard to admit it, but he's... He's obsessed with you" he said

"how ironic right" I sighed as our plan came to my mind "Eiden, I want you to know that no matter what I say or do tomorrow it's you I love okay" I said looking into his eyes reassuringly

"I know that" he smiled and moved his hand from around my waist to my cheek "i'm sure of it" he rubbed my cheek tenderly "You need to rest though tomorrow is gonna be a long day" he said

"you're right" I gave a small smile before I turned around and was pulled deeper into his embrace

I smiled, but just as the thought of meeting and talking with the same person who as caused me so much pain  the next day came to my mind I scowled in frustration wanting all this to end.

Sunlight escaped into the room without consent letting a groan come from my lips since I was directly in front of the window by the side of the room.

I turned around to find that Eiden was still sleeping, strange, because he usually wakes up before I do.

His face was so peaceful, I listened to his gentle breathing and soft snores which made me giggle silently.

I heard a door open and close and that sent the awareness that if someone finds out that Eiden slept here last night, well... It might go bad.

I traced my fingers on his shirtless chest not knowing how to wake him up, but I just had to. I patted his arm lightly and all I got was a grumble from him "wake up Eiden, if someone finds you here we'll get in trouble" I whispered

"Hmmm... Five more minutes" he murmured

"wake up" I hit his arm

"it's still too early though, just five more minutes"

I checked my clock and it was 7am already
"you say that every time, except that the last time you said ten minutes" I said in a low voice

"five minutes babe and I'll leave" he mumbled

"my parents would flip it they come here and find you" I said trying to get away from him

"screw that, I'm with my girl" he muttered with his eyes still closed and I smiled

"Right, but you seriously have to leave though" I whispered but he just pulled me closer into his arms

"two more minutes then" he said

I grumbled "you're too stubborn" I gave in to his pleas finally

"why aren't you sleeping then?" he asked

"you know I don't sleep that easily" I rolled my eyes

"what if I make you" he opened his eyes

"you can't force me to sleep Eiden"

"oh, I can" he said with a mischievous smile

"you can't threaten me in my own room, in my own bed" I said with furrowed brows "this is my territory"
