A Kiss For Every Lifetime

Chapter 14: Close call (part one)

We all settled in perfectly in the room assigned to us. Everyone was probably having fun while I was stuck being alone. Sean was probably somewhere in the island, sleeping in a fancy house, reluctant to become my roommate.

I decided to take a bath to soothe my aching muscles. I then changed into a black silk chemise. I dried my hair for a few minutes before I made up my mind to seat in the balcony(they had one) and read a book that I found in the nightstand beside the bed I chose to sleep in.

We arrived at Baros Island between the time of the day and I sat out in the balcony until I finally noticed that the sun was starting to set. I closed the book I was reading and stared at the setting sun with amazement, who would have thought a girl like me could experience such a beautiful sight.

I stayed there for a good ten minutes before I felt drained. I headed to the bed without bothering to close the door of the balcony and buried myself in the covers. I felt sleepy but I couldn't sleep. So turn sideways and faced the wall, watching the pictures hanged on it.

A sound came from the door and I peek from my shoulder to see it slowly opening. Light escaped from the widening crack and soon, a tall familiar figure stepped in. I drop my head back to the pillow hoping the figure didn't notice me staring.

The door shut silently and soft audible heavy footsteps slowly crept nearer. I lowered my head a little so that the blanket I was wrapped in can hide a part of my face. His presence I felt behind me as if he was contemplating to say something to me or just let me sleep.

Finally, I heard him sigh before he walked away. The sound of the shower made me know that he was taking a bath. A small smile was plastered on my face as I finally felt myself drifting away slowly. At least he didn't bail out.
