Chapter 53- Sleeping Outside

I decided to go outside and get some fresh air. It was really warm outside and so, I thought 'why not sleep outside today?' and I did.

I got a blanket that I had in my room, and placed it on the grass. I lay down looking at the blue sky, knowing it was 9:05pm, but still looking really bright.

Around 10 minutes later, I heard the garden door open. But I didn't bother looking, since I was a little tired. Then suddenly, I saw someone putting a blanket right next to me. And of course, it was the one and only; Tal.
"What you doing here all by youreself?" he asked.
"I'm... relaxing..." I said, whilst yawning. Tal could see that I was tired, and so he higged me. We both looked at the sky turn from blue to black; and as it did, I fell asleep.

The next day when I woke up, I could hear Tal... snoring?! Yes, he was snoring, hihi. But I didn;t want to wake him up so, I tried to get up, but I couldn't. He was holding me tight and close to him chest. It's funny how strong he was when sleeping, unless, he was awake, and just pretending to be asleep. So I just lay there still, without any movement, waiting for him to wake up.

I got a little bored so I started to sing really quietly to myself, whilst playing with his shirt. That's when I felt him hand tingling my back and then touching my head. I stopped singing and then I tried to get up. I sat down on my side of the blanket and cooled down for a bit. I felt scared and nervous for a split second. It was probably because I was going to leave America in about a week.
"Karol, are you alright?" Tal asked, whilst sitting up.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"But I can see you're not fine..."
"...Tal... can you just do me a favour?..."
"Sure,"
"...Spend as much time with me as possible..." and we hugged. Tal didn't ask any questions, I had a feeling he knew what I meant.

He stood up and reached out for my hand. I held onto his soft hand and followed him.

He told me to take the car keys and go into his car. When he came back, he held two bags where he put them into the trunk.
"Tal... Where are we going?..."
"You'll see. Just, lay down, enjoy the view and relax." I didn't bother asking anymore, so I did as he told me.
