Not Everything Is What It Seems (Book I)

Craziness can be good.. or not

*** Brian’s POV ***

I felt myself waking up, so I lazily cracked one eye open, seeing that the room was already lightened up by the sun peeking through the window blinds. I shut my eyes again and rolled to my other side, accidently touching on something that, actually, really looked like someone’s skin. That’s when the realization hit me. I immediately opened my eyes and smiled at the sight in front of me. Annie was laid on her stomach with her arm gently resting next to her beautiful, sleeping face, and she was snorting slightly, telling me she was still asleep. All I wanted was to pull her into my arms and hug her tightly to my chest, but I didn’t want to wake her up. Just thinking that I could’ve lost her scared the hell out of me. But now she was right here with me in my bed, in my house, and I wouldn’t let her go any time soon.

As if she was hearing my thoughts her body shifted and she stayed with her back to me. I took the chance and carefully snaked my arm around her waist. She had a quick reaction by pressing her back against my chest and snuggling into me. My smile grew wider as I hold her close to me, inhaling in her sweet scent, nuzzling my nose in her soft hair. We stayed like that a little while, and I would trace ghost paths along her arm, caressing her soft, milky skin. But that’s when I felt her shiver under my touch. I raised my upper half to look at her face and a small smile made its way to her lips, making me also smile. I tickled the side of her body and she jumped, chuckling. I tickled her again until she finally opened her eyes, grabbing my sneaky hand.

“I’m already awake.” I told him with a smile.

“Morning.” He kissed my cheek and I turned to him, before cupping his face to brush my lips against his in a soft kiss. “What did I do to have a beautiful girl like you in my bed?”

“Do you really want me to answer that question?” I asked, smirking.

“Ouh.. someone woke up with a great sense of humor today..” He said, hovering over me and attacking me with kisses. I squirmed under him, laughing.

“Stop it.. you were the one who started with the tickles..” I looked up to his eyes as I absently ran my fingers through his naked chest.

“You were faking your sleep.” He chuckled.

“I wasn’t!”

“I know you weren’t.. you shivered when I touched you..”

“No! I was talking about the faking part.. I wasn’t faking, I was really sleeping.” I corrected him.

“Liar.” He said, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“Sleep spoiler.” I snapped back.

“Tickle’s appreciator.”

“Teaser.”

“Syn lover.” He smirked.

“Shut up.”

“Shut me up, then.” And without hesitation I kissed his lips, making him laugh and collapse on top of me, literally. I also started laughing as I tried to take him off of me but with no success. He was making on purpose to stay there with his face buried on my neck and his dead body, trapping me between him and the mattress.

“Will you get out?” I asked, trying once again to take him off.

“Not really.” He mumbled on my neck and I could feel him smirking on my skin.

“Yes, you will..” I threw my hands to his back and sides and attacked him with tickles. I guess I wasn’t the only one unpleasant with such actions, because he cringed at my touch and laughed loudly before he finally moved away from me. I sat straight in the bed and smiled widely at him.
