Counting sheep

On days like this, I need you to run your fingers through my hair and speak softly - Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur

"What's wrong?" I slowly open my eyes to glance at him. "You have been tossing and turning.." I can't see his facial expression. It's too dark. I wouldn't even see my own hand in front of my face. "The cold air is getting into the quilt..." Oh. I am probably the reason he moved around as well. "I'm sorry." Why do I always have to- "No? You didn't wake me up..." We lay there for some minutes, not talking to each other. "Can't sleep?" I'm not answering his question. There is no need for it. "Why are you so far away from me? Come over here, my arms are warmer..." I roll my eyes before I do what he stated. "That's it. Don't move. All right. Tell me...Why can't you sleep? Got something on your mind?" What a Sherlock! "Still thinking about what happened during the day? Honey, she is just a classmate from junior high..." Right! "That's why you embraced each other that long. I could see how much attention she was giving you." A small sigh leaves his throat. "Whether the girl likes me or not, that's not my business! Hey, don't turn your back on me. Turn around!" As I would do that. You can't understand what it's like to see you being surrounded by the female gender all the time. "You're angry because of me...You aren't feeling well and it's my fault...Tell me the truth, it is because of that thing? So you couldn't sleep?" I nod. Now that I think about it...It sounds kinda ridiculous. "I won't do it again. Don't worry. From now on, you will always be my first priority." His hands move me towards him, supporting me to turn my head in his direction. "Since you can't sleep, we can talk for a while. Then you will get sleepy eventually. So, what do you want to speak about?" My cheeks are heating up. "There is something I want to know..." His breath hits my ears which makes me anxious. "Just ask, Honey. I will respond..." Okay. I mean what can happen? "Uh. What kind of girls do I like? Such a question is...Uh? You? You are in my arms and asking me what girls I like?" I nod. "Hmm..what type of girl are you?" He isn't serious. "I asked you!" Maybe it was a silly question... I shouldn't have said that. "Okay! Okay! I would say...that you are brave, kind and very soft outside. But on the inside, you are a stubborn person." Wow. I didn't expect to reply in that way. My body feels like it's overheating. "Don't cover your face. Let me see it!" He is so mean sometimes! I hit his chest lovely before I start tickling him. "Stop! I'm ticklish!" The most beautiful laugh escapes and I can't help to feel warm all over. "Don't fool around. How dare you pinch me?" This is my commando to start giggling. "That's not funny. I would rather hear what you think about me. What type of man am I?" Mhm...I...he is perfect in so many ways. "You are always reliable. I know that you will always be at my side. I feel safe around you. I have never felt that before..." Now it's his turn to blush. "All right, Honey. Give me your hand, I will count sheep for you." "One sheep, Two sheep, Three sheep..."
