My Millionaire

10.

A/N : I'm going to start doing the story in different POV's ... I hope you like it!! It's just less confusing for me to follow as I update and you'll get an in depth feel for each characters' thoughts and feelings.

Side question; should I do a character lineup? Like pictures. Of who I think the characters should look like? There'd only be 2 (one for Alicia and one for the boys ((which I'll just pretend there's 3 of them lol)) )

Alicia-

I wake up in a cold sweat alone on the couch. I pull the blanket off of my lower half and try to remember the nightmare that jolted me awake. As I stand shakily from the couch I look through the crack in the only door downstairs. I see Mason, laying in his bed soundly. I wander numbly to the kitchen and grab a glass of ice water before quietly returning to the living room and turning the tv on quietly with subtitles. As I flip on to The Office I cozy under a little blanket.

I feel my eyelids becoming heavy until I hear shuffling behind me. I turn my head around and catch eye of Mason standing shirtless in his doorway.

"Feeling okay?" He asks as I take a large drink of my water.

"Yeah," my eyes follow him as he circles around the couch and sits besides me, "just a nightmare."

He nods at looks at the tv, "really? This?"

I look at him confused, "I'm sorry," I smile, "you don't like this classic?"

He shakes his head with a small smile and drapes his muscular arm down and around my smaller frame. I subconsciously snuggle into his side. Whatever negative thoughts or feelings that ran through my body earlier have now dissipated into nothingness. I feel the faint thumping of his heartbeat as my breathing relaxes and the show playing in front of me soon turns into nothing more than a light show. I can feel the warmth from his arm moving and he stands to his feet slowly with a hand stretched down to me nicely.

"Come to bed," he speaks in a tone much softer than I'm used to from him.

I take his hand and slowly get to my feet. He leads me a few feet away into his bedroom and as I curl up in his bed I feel him climb into the other side.

"You don't mind? I don't wanna intrude if you were comfortable," I whisper as I turn to face him. The sight in front of me makes my heart flutter. His bright eyes staring into mine, his very sculpted jawline which lead to his perfectly soft lips.

"I like you by me," he whispers and I still can't get over the fact that his voice just sounds so soft and kind.

I smile and wrap my arm slowly around his stomach. It only takes a second before his arm is draped across my shoulders. With my head now on his chest I listen the thudding of his heartbeat.

"I didn't think you'd be the cuddly type," I joke softly as a yawn escapes my lips.

"I'm not usually," he runs his hand gently up and down my arm, "but I guess I can make an exception."

I can basically hear the smile in voice. I smile as the warmth of his body warms mine. I trace my fingers mindlessly up and down his abs. I kiss his chest softly before laying back down and letting the warmth engulf me. I feel his lips press against the top of my head as I finally drift back off into a much deeper, more relaxed sleep.
