Fallen for you

Part XV

As I woke up I noticed I was cuddled up in Sam's arms, my face lying on his chest.

Jesus, that's embarrassing.

I awkwardly and slowly shuffle back in an attempt not to wake him up.

When I think I made it his eyes flutter open and I curse quietly.

My cheeks start to burn so I hide my face with the blanket and laugh quietly.

"What are you laughing at? Did I snore?" he says out loud and I can't help it, I burst out laughing.

Both from what he just said and how he said that, who knew someone could sound THIS good when they literally just woke up.

He laughs too and that makes my cheeks even hotter.

Why is he like this?

I turn around and check my phone for any notifications to distract myself and I am welcomed with 50 unread messages from Jen and Stew, all videos and pictures of them being drunk and dumb.

I guess moms are allowed to drink?

I laugh quietly at a video of Stewart dancing on a table with a drink in his hand.

"What are you watching?" Sam asks quietly, I turn around on my back and show him the videos.

These are my best friend.

That's Stewart, I've known him since I was a little girl, and we've been friends for years, even after I left Missouri." I say as I point at his image on the screen.

"I know who Stewart is" he says as he laughs at my explanation.

"I just didn't want to interrupt you" he adds with a smile.

Of course he knows, he is my guardian angel, he's been with me my entire life.

"That's Jen.. Jennifer, she's new. I met het at Stewart's café and we all became best friends." I say again as I turn my head to catch him staring at me with a slight grin on his face.

"What?" I ask smiling back at him.

He blinks at me and doesn't say anything.

"Can I meet them?" he asks politely.

Well, yes, I told them about you, not about the angel part, but they know you exist.

And they want to meet you too." I answer with a smile on my face.

"I'll set up a dinner for us four, so you can all meet each other." I add and he nods.

He turns to the side and just looks at me again, without saying a word.

"Stop doing that" I push a hand through his face as I laugh.

"Doing what?" he asks, still staring at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask in return.

"At the risk of sounding vulgar, why did you ever date Ryan?" he said changing the subject.

"Ryan?" I ask as my throat dries out.

"Yes, I was able to feel what you feel as a full angel, and I always knew you didn't love him, so why did you stay with him?" he asked.

Talking about Ryan really boils my blood, and yes, I wanted to tell him about myself, but seriously? If he could really feel what I feel he wouldn't have asked why, he'd already know.

"Are you for real? What's it to you who I date and who I like or don't like?" I narrowed my eyes as I sat up.

"Well, as I am your guardian ang-"
