Surprised Yet? (C.L. Stone, The Academy) #watty2016

Part 17

Sang's POV

"Peanut?" I hear from Nate's bedroom. Crap! He wasn't supposed to come in yet...but maybe this will play out in my favor.

"Yeah, Honey?" I ask through the bathroom door.

"Can you come out here a second?"

I look down. I haven't changed into anything so I am still wrapped in a towel that barely covers my butt. I bite the inside of my cheek and open the door. When his gaze doesn't shift from the bed , I follow his gaze and ....Crap! I forgot I laid that out in preparation for my shower.

I laugh nervously. What is he going to say? I take a breath. "Ummmm.. Surprise!" I shoot him a small lop-sided grin. I can tell he is thinking, but I am not sure if it is good or bad.

"I..I...y-you" he says

I am being shaken, I don't understand... "Princess, Princess, wake up you are dreaming." I jump up and end up bumping my head with Victor's I look at him and his eyes are sad.

"Did I say anything ...?" I couldn't say anything so I so look down at where I was just lying.

He understood what I was asking without me having to say, thank goodness. "Umm, nothing really, just whimpering a little," he says as he rubs the back of his neck making me thinking about the accidental kiss on his neck the first day we met. I have to smile at how far we have come. It's amazing that I have nine guys to love and be loved by.

"OK," I say hesitantly. "Where is everyone?"

"Gabe, Luke, and North are at the Diner; Dr. Green hospital; Mr. Blackbourne didn't say but probably just doing paper work; Kota, Silas, and Nathan on different academy business, but everyone will be back before dinner."

Stupid dream, I think , why couldn't it have been real. Then I think why not, at least some of it be real.

Sang: Hey can I stay at your house tonight?

I press send and then think.

Just the two of us?

It takes a few minutes for him to respond. I know they can't always answer especially while on an assignment.

Nathan: Sure Peanut!
