Unexpected Love

Long Awaited

Long Awaited    

       I woke up to an incessant noise and I slowly opened my eyes. The room was dark and I realized that I had fallen asleep on Leo's chest. I sat up and looked down, my eyes widening. I pulled the sheet up and quickly wiped the drool off of his chest, then off of my mouth. 

       Leo was still snoring softly and I looked at his peaceful face and smiled softly before turning to my cell phone that had ended up on the floor. I kicked my legs to get out of the sheet, but somehow ended up on the floor, my feet still on the bed. I picked up the phone to get rid of the aggravating shrill. 

       "What," I snapped to whomever was on the other line. 

       "Gemini? Are you okay? I'm so sorry about my dad running you off last night, and I don't care about what you are. I just hope you're safe and I was also wondering if you saw Leo leave last night? He isn't answering my calls or anything, so I don't know where he is," came Melanie's panicked voice. 

       "Hey Mel. Yeah, I'm fine. Leo is fine too. He's still asleep. I'll tell him you called," I mumbled. My eardrum almost burst with the high pitched shriek that came through the phone and I held it away from my ear. 

       "You slept with my brother," she shrieked. 

       I glanced back at him to make sure he was asleep before whispering. 

       "If you're asking if we 'did it' then no. We didn't," I said. 

       "Where are you," she asked. 

       "We're at his apartment. Listen, it's not really what you think. We just-" she ended the call. I sighed and tossed the phone on the nightstand. 

       "My guess is that she'll be here soon," came Leo's voice from behind me. I jumped stood up from the floor. His voice was husky and his eyelids were heavy from sleep. I looked at him for a few moments before sitting back on the bed next to him. 

        He wound his arms around my waist and pulled me down so that I was laying on my back and he turned over to lay on my chest along with my pounding heartbeat. He sighed in contentment and his eyes fluttered closed again. 

        I pushed my fingers into his longish hair and repeated the action again and again. I liked playing with his hair. It was super soft and it smelled good. He was asleep again only seconds after that and I made note that he isn't exactly a morning person. Either that or he was really tired like I was, but I let him be. 

        Soon, I was asleep too until I heard another annoying sound. My head bolted up and I looked around, but the noise had stopped. I was probably dreaming. I sighed and laid my head back down, trying to fall asleep again when the bedroom door flung open. I jolted up and Leo face planted the bed before jumping up with me. 

        "Gem? What the hell," he said groggily. His eyes were trying to close again but I spoke before he slipped back to sleep again. 

        "Leo get up. Melanie's here," I say, throwing my legs off the bed. He grunted and shoved his head under his pillow. When I stood up, Melanie literally jumped on him and I could hear the breath leave his lungs at the unexpected assault. He groaned and reached back to slam the pillow in Melanie's face. 

       She got up and stood beside him, shaking his shoulders with her now messy hair. 

        "Get your lazy ass up Lee! We have a lot to talk about," she exclaimed. I realized that I still didn't have a shirt and quickly picked it up from the floor and slid it on over my head while Leo finally stood up.
