His teammate

Chapter 19 - It hurts my eyes!

I look at those plump, moist lips of his and my mouth waters. I turn my gaze up into his eyes and feel the connection that I felt the first night I met him. We're so close that I can feel his breath fan over my face and my lips part in anticipation for what are about to come.

"Honey?" I hear my dad shout out loud from the front door and I jump quickly up, off the couch and away from Link, my heart in my throat. I see Link at the corner of my eye and he's bent forward, rubbing his face with his hands. My dad comes into the living room.

"Hi dad." I say, my voice a little too high and shaky.

"Hey, what's going on?" He ask, looking back and forth between us with an wondering stare. I feel my cheeks turn red and is thankful that it's pretty dark in the room, so he might not notice. Though I can't figure out a thing to say to him.

"We were watching a scary movie and you kind of made us jumpy." Link say from the couch, he smiles kindly at my dad. My dad smiles then and chuckles, believing the story, probably because he can see the movie on the screen.

"Yeah, so. I'm going to bed, I'm beat." I mumble as I head towards the stairs. I can't look at either Link or my dad right now, not after what just almost happened.

"Okay..." My dad say a little uncertain. "Sleep tight!" I almost run up the stairs. Holy crap! What just happened? Did me and Link almost...? No... no. I know we did before... but... maybe... we wouldn't... he would never... wow, now I'm rambling in my head.

I get myself ready, brushing my teeth and getting into something to sleep in. As I lay in bed my eyes are wide open and my mind is running wild. I wonder what would have happened if we... no. Don't even think it. It's not going to happen. Think about something else... like trees or the ocean. Link's eyes are a little like the ocean.

NO! Damn it!

I wake up with an headache the next morning, I didn't get too much sleep, my mind wouldn't shut up. I've decided to ignore it, act like nothing ever happened, because nothing did. My dad saved the situation even though he scared the shit out of me.

Getting caught by my dad making out on his couch at twenty five, that would be embarrassing.

I pull myself out of bed because I need a pill for my head. I step outside my door, knowing that the painkillers are in the bathroom cabinet. I take a step towards the bathroom but stop dead in my tracks as the bathroom door open.

Link steps out with only a towel hanging low on his hips, his chest glistering with the drops of water that drips from his wet hair down his shoulders. My mind goes blank as I watch the shape of his chest, down to his sculpted abs and end at the amazing v-shape that ends with the towel. I have trouble breathing as I see him push his hair back with his hand, letting a couple drops of water splash around him. He then looks up and sees me standing here. I stand like a moron, feeling my cheeks turn red with the embarrassment of getting caught ogling him. I see the shock in his eyes before it turns to amusement and then I see the crooked smile form on his lips. He walks down the hall towards where I'm standing and I feel my breathing stutter.

"Like what you see?" He say with a seducing voice, walking past me with that cocky smile. I'm stunned as I stand there not responding, my heart hasn't stopped the race it's doing in my chest. I wish that I was cool enough to give a cocky response back like Oh please, cover that up with something, it hurts my eyes! But I can't even find a non-cool response that wouldn't be a moan, so I don't say anything. He goes into his room and close the door behind him. I stand there for a couple of minutes, staring out into nothingness until I realize that he could come out any second and see me still standing here.
