"You're my game"

Chapter Eight

Rosalinda's POV:
   I laid in the very warm bubble filled water sighing as it relaxed every inch of my body. It was the best feeling, well besides with Miles. I ducked my head under the water and looked up above the water. A figure appeared making me immediately shoot up from the water looking around frightened. Once I saw no one was in here I curled up. Am I losing it? Why do I keep seeing people that aren't there?
   I slid under the covers of my large bed and saddened. I wanted Miles in here with me, I couldn't sleep now.
   I shut my eyes imagining he was with me. I longed for his touch, his scent, his curls tickling my neck. I can't take another second of it. Immediately I got out of bed slipping on my slippers. I only had a flannel on with my boy shorts but I didn't care. I needed to see him. I slowly opened his door not wanting to knock and have anyone but him hear. Even with the rooms being far apart I didn't want to risk it with how silent it is in this house. I watched him laying there, his headphones over his ears. I shut the door quietly and looked back over to see him staring at me. It startled me a bit and I immediately lost all confidence and became shy. He slid the headphones down to his neck and gave me a small smile, or smirk.
   "Need something?" He asked and looked me up and down. I pulled the flannel down further and blushed looking away. "I couldn't s-sleep." I said being nervous beyond reason. "Come here." He said and it's like my feet walked on their own. "I want to show you something." He said as he stood up grabbing a back pack along with my hand. He glanced back down at what I was wearing and he handed me his plaid pajama pants. "Put them on." He said and I gave him a confused look and just put them on anyways. He began leading me away.
   He hurried me down the stairs and we ran across the garden, past the stable, where was he taking me... my slippers almost flew off a few times but it was fine. Any further and I was bound to run out of breath. "Here." He pointed to a very nice old fashioned cabin. "This is nice." I said and he smiled at me as we walked up the steps. "It was my dad and I's secret place, we built it." He said and I saw him sadden a bit. "It's beautiful." I said grabbing his face gently observing his sad eyes until they became happy ones. It was actually beautiful. Not very full and spacious for sure. "This is nice." I looked around me and he observed me observing the cabin. "You guys really built this yourselves?" I asked and saw a picture of him and his dad, he looked younger. Not by that much though.
   I frowned a bit at the thought of his little self having to lose both of his parents so suddenly. Little Flora having to witness it all. "Want to see the room?" He asked and led me down the short hallway. The room had a huge bed with a nice dresser, an antique lamp and candles placed nicely. Not to mention the gorgeous paintings. "Who painted these?" I couldn't help but ask. "My mother." He said and I smiled nodding. "They're gorgeous, really nice." I replied and he smiled back.
  "There's some food, if you're hungry." He said and grabbed I followed him into the kitchen. "It's only a week old maybe, I come here quite often. Mrs. Grose hasn't seemed to notice the missing food, neither one of them even know this exists." He explained and I nodded. "There's also, less healthy food in the bag." He said and I opened it seeing a bunch of snacks. I unzipped the smaller pocket but he grabbed my hands, "nothing in there." He said and I nodded suspiciously. As soon as he let go I saw birth control in the bag. "Who are these for?" I asked feeling angry as hell.
   "I was waiting to bring it up." He hesitantly mumbled almost. "So that's why you went into the pharmacy." I nodded trying to keep calm. "They were just in case because," he grabbed my waist. "I don't know how much longer I can contain myself." All my anger slipped away, he's too good. Little fucker.
   "What makes you think I want to do that with you?" I replied trying to sound confident and serious. He pressed his fingers to my drenched underwear and smiled. "Asshole." I said pushing him away from me. "Come on, you haven't seen the best part." He grabbed the bag and we went outside. "Here." He said holding his hands out, as for me to stand on them. He gestured up to the roof. I thought about it for a second until I just hopped up and he gave me a giant boost. Seconds later he was up there with me. "Why are we up here?" I asked confused and looked at the plain old wooden roof. He grabbed my chin as he stood in front of me lifting it all the way up. "Wow." I was at a complete loss of words as I saw the blanket of stars above us. "It's amazing, this is amazing." I grinned at him widely because I couldn't help it.
   "Sit." He said as he sat down opening the bag. We dug into the bag of snacks. Unhealthy, but satisfying. "So this is where all the junk food goes?" I asked smiling and couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Of course. I can't imagine Mrs. Grose ever eating this or letting us eat it." He covered his very full mouth and I giggled at the sight. Underneath all that pride and ego is the one big softie. I looked back over to see he had crumbs on his face. "Uhm, you got something." I said and slightly pointed to it. He wiped everywhere but that spot. "Here, let me." I reached over wiping them off.
   I looked up at his eyes to see them staring at me admiringly. "What?" I asked feeling awkward and shy. Did I have something on my face.... I wiped it quickly and he smiled. "No, you're just beautiful." He said and grabbed my face gently. His lips were so gentle and slow against mine. It wasn't like the other kisses, this one had passion. Lust still lingered but not as hard. I pulled away and felt myself blushing, he just grinned at me.
  I suddenly shivered and he wrapped his arm around me pulling me closer, laying us down. We laid there for a while just watching the stars. I had a strong urge randomly to get to know him. I'm cuddling on a cabin rooftop in the middle of nowhere with a guy I don't know all that well. After a million basic questions it felt like, he decided to ask about me. It felt nice having him be curious about me. "Wait what happened?" He laughed again and my cheeks reddened. "Oh god I'm never telling you anything again." I hid my face with my hands. He asked about my first kiss which went terribly.
  "Oh come on, please I'm sorry." He said and grabbed my wrists softly, prying them from my face. "Fine." I responded not being able to stay mad at him. I looked at those messy soft curls, his pink big lips and big brown eyes and my heart melted. How did I get so lucky...?
   "Let's go back down and get warm. Maybe eat actual food too." He jokes as I looked at the candy wrappers everywhere. Not to mention the cookies and chips we ate, and cans of soda. Damn we're some hardcore snackers. He helped me up and I picked up the wrappers putting them in a bag and heard him jump down. "I'll catch you." He said holding his arms out and I jumped into his arms shutting my eyes. I was quite a bit scared as I felt his grip around me. "Got ya." He pecked my cheek setting me down and I felt myself drool over him. He's so hot.
   Okay I didn't actually drool but I felt like I was. "Like what you see?" He asked as he held one of his hands by his face, still not setting me down. Miles carried me inside then set me down on the kitchen counter. "How's, spaghetti sound?" He asked and I shook my head no. "Cereal?" He tried again and I nodded. "Deal." He said grabbing a box of Rice Krispies and I smiled. "I could kiss you." I blurted out happy he liked Rice Krispies. They're so underrated. Just a little bit of sugar sprinkled and maybe even add some fruit in.
  "So kiss me." He faced me with two bowls. "I have a feeling that if I do we won't be eating cereal tonight." I replied with a smirk as a bit the corner of my lip. "You're not wrong." He smiled as he poured the cereal into the two bowls. Wow he's not completely insane, unlike people who put their milk first.
(Kidding, kidding. Sorta.... KIDDING AGAIN)
  He grabbed milk from the fridge and checked the date before pouring it. He's a hundred percent my type. Yes, check that date. Love that. "Any sugar?" I asked as he put spoons in each bowl. "Think so." He said and pointed to the top cabinet. I hopped off the counter and walked over to it, seeing it at the very top of the shelves and groaned. I hopped up a few times not even close to it, right as I climbed onto the counter top he grabbed it for me and I glared at him. "Where were you three jumps ago?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Watching your bum jiggle in my pants." He gave me a cocky grin and set one of his hands on the side of my ass.
   "Later, I'm hungry." I poked his nose and he stopped me from hopping down. "I'm hungry too." He said and grabbed my chin, licking along my jawline. "Miles." I gasped.
   "Fine." He smiled and walked off to our bowls. What a tease. He loves to get me worked up only to wander off. He handed me a bowl and we went into the living room. I decided to sit in his lap which seemed to surprise him at first. I was facing the side and he turned on the tv. "Kurt Cobain hmm?" He sounded a little upset. "Did you like his music?" I asked and he nodded. "All the best ones seem to die young." He finished his bowl and set it on the table, holding onto me as he did. Almost as if he was afraid to drop me. Wait how in the hell was he done already?
  My bowl was still full nearly. "I really do want you Rosie, I wish you'd submit to me." He said and I thought about it for a second. "You're getting there." I said and he rolled his eyes playfully before smiling at me. "Making me work for it?" He questioned and I nodded, "exactly." I smiled and he grabbed my thigh making me choke on my cereal. "Sorry, just caught me off guard." I said embarrassed as hell. He grabbed the bowl from my hands setting down. Usually I'd want to smack the shit out of someone for taking my food away but I wasn't hungry for cereal, I craved him. "Tonight's the night where you'll submit Rosie." He said and laid me down below him. My heart pounded in my chest as I waited for what was to come....
