Fated

Does He Deserve a Second Chance?

Laying in a cocoon of blankets I watch an episode of friends on my tv, tears running down my face. I haven't stopped crying in so long, I'm surprised I haven't dried up. I want to go visit him, I want to lay in his arms and I want him to never let go. You know what, that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I uncover myself and get up from my bed, I need to see him, even if I don't speak. I haven't slept since they last time I was in his arms.

Looking over at the clock I see that it's almost midnight, no one will see me sneaking to him room. I wrap my arms around myself when I get out of bed, shivering because of my lack of clothing. Shorts and a tang top is what I sleep in since my body temperature runs hotter then most.

I tip toe out of my room and quietly walk down the long corridors to his room. Reaching the door I stop and listen making sure that I hear his breathing. Slow and steady, he's sleeping. I slowly twist the know and crack the door open. His room is all dark, the only light is from the clock on his bed side table. I close the door behind me, the lock clicks shut. His eyes snap open and frantically look around the room, his eyes land on me and he freezes.

"Lane?"

"I um.. I couldn't sleep." I begin walking closer to his bed. Stopping at the side of it. Without saying a word he pushing the sheets back. I crawl into the bed and get under the sheets pulling them up around me. His smell engulfs me and I'm instantly at peace. Laying back I let my head fall onto the pillow. He slowly lays down beside me, afraid if he moves to fast I may run away. I turn over on my side and face him.

"Hold me?" I ask. He instantly wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me into his chest. I gasp at the contact. His body heat warming up my cool skin. He leans his head down and puts it in the crook of my neck, and inhales deeply. He signs in content.

His face remains in my neck breathing me in. He falls asleep in a matter of minutes, his shallow breathing once again filling me ears. I relax into his hold, taking advantage of the peace he brings me, letting myself fall asleep.

I feel movement next to me drawing me out of my sleep. I foggily rub my eyes and stretch out. I open my eyes, blinking a few times before getting adjusted to the light. My sight instantly falls on his sleeping form. I smile at his relaxed face. If only he could be this calm throughout the day.

He groans out and rolls over, trapping me under his arms. I freeze up as he burrows his face in my neck.

"Morning." He groans out with a breathy morning voice. I heat up from the arousal of his voice.

Jesus Lane calm down, we are trying to be mad at him.

"Hi." I squeak out. He smirks against my skin knowingly of the effect he has on me.

"Your plans for the day?" He asks.

"Um, so far none. But that could always change."

He pulls away from me and lays back against his pillow looking at me.

"You should spend some time with Anna, before the baby comes. After the baby is born you won't see her as much."

"That's a good idea." I give him a small smile.

An awkward silence comes between us. I clear my throat in hopes to break it before sitting up, the blankets pooling around my waist.

"I'm gonna go shower, and um... get ready for the day." I rise from the bed and start heading towards the door.

'Not to be weird but are you gonna come back later tonight? It's so much easier to sleep with you." He tells me honestly.

I want to say yes, but I know that if I do then we'd grow closer, the bond getting stronger. I know I wanted that before but now I'm not so sure. I don't want to forgive him, and I don't want to fall in love with him. I'm not ready.

"Um.. maybe, it all depends." I feel bad for responding with that retort so I hurry out of his room quickly. I look around quick and make sure no one is in the hallway before running out and back to my own.

Thankfully I see no one on my way back, no need to explain that. I immediately go over to my bed and grab my phone texting Anna to see if she's free. I throw my phone back on my bed and head to the bathroom. She's a late sleeper so I'm not expecting a response just yet, might as well shower while I wait.

Getting out of the shower I check my phone to see if she texted. She hasn't so she must still be sleeping. While I continue waiting I take my time getting dressed. I braid my hair into 2. I get dressed in a pair of light washed ripped skinny jeans and a sweatshirt. I groan out in boredom before collapsing on my bed and going on my phone.

After a good half hour of going on instagram my phone buzzes to a text from Anna. She'll be ready in a few. I get up off my bed and start walking to her room at a slow pace, in hopes she will be ready by the time I get there.

Reaching her bedroom door I give it a quick knock.  She opens the door greeting me with a big smile.

"Hey there stranger." She takes my wrist and pulls me into her room.

'So what do you want to do today?" She asks me leading me over to a couch, sitting down on it.

"Um I'm not sure, just kind of spend time together I guess. I wanna spend time before someone else comes into your life." I tell her honestly.

Well then okay sounds like a plan."

So this is just a filler chapter, I apologize if you find it boring.
