Until I Was Saved..

Chapter 21

-two months later-

I woke up in my bed and the first thing I saw was a head of curly blonde hair laying on my shoulder. Sweet little Warren.. I really didn't wanna wake him up.. He's been doing so great since he got here, he even seemed happier.

Today was the court date with his old foster dad. For about two weeks, he's been stressing over it. Warren's barely even had to see him since that day he busted in my house and tried to hit my brother.

I looked over at the air mattress covered in blankets across the room. My mom set that up for him on his first night here, even though that's not where he's been sleeping for the most part, not that she knows that.

I tried to snake my way out of his grip without waking him up since he doesn't technically have to be up for another hour and I needed a shower, but the second I tried to pull away, he just pulled in closer.

I sighed and gently rubbed his back and whispered to wake him up, "babe.. I gotta get up.. You gotta let go."

He just squeezed tighter, "no.. cuddles.. "

"Fine... Have it your way" I wrapped my arms around him, pulled him up, closer to me, and got up with him wrapped around me. I started to get the things I needed for my shower and said, "You know I'm not gonna be able to take you out of here with me like this, right? "

He just groaned and squeezed tighter, starting to squeeze the air out of me, "how are you only this strong when it comes to hugs?? You tiny squeeze demon" I joked.

He removed his head from the crook where my shoulder meets my neck, looked at me and said, "well I've been pretty much starved of physical affection until two months ago so, yeah I like hugs"

I tilted my head and asked, "You just had to make me feel bad, didn't you?"

He stuck his tongue out at me. I just kissed him on the cheek and set him down on my bed, "I'll be back in a minute, goofy"

I grabbed my things, left my room, and started to head toward the bathroom when I heard my mom call me, "Chase, can you come here for a minute?"

"Coming! " I went into the kitchen and   asked, "yeah, Mom?"

"Can you get the milk out of the fridge for me, Baby?" She asked while cooking.

"Yeah, okay. " I said and got the milk out of the fridge and as I'm handing it to her she, without even batting an eye, without even looking at me I might add, asked me something that almost made me drop it.

"So when are you gonna ask Warren out?"

I did my best to pretend like I took it as a joke and said, "Mom, I'm not into that, we're just friends"

She's sighed and said, "okay, but just so you know, friends don't look at friends that way honey" before kissing me on the cheek and adding, "you can go back to what you were doing now, thanks"

My eyes widened and I pretended like I didn't hear her previous statement and said, "okay, love you"

I then went and took my shower, trying not to think about what my mother just said to me.

-TO BE CONTINUED! Let me know about any mistakes that I made and  I'll try to improve in the future. P. S. I'm sorry if this seems like a filler, it kind of is, I'm trying to think of what to put next, I promise, anyway, I hope you guys like the story so far ✌-
