The Hunt

Chapter 5

RECAP:

He returned to my neck and I to his, we stayed like this for a few hours. I started to feel sleepy and closed my eyes.

Joshua's POV

I held Hope in my arms for hours. I soon heard her slow her breathing and I knew she fell asleep, right here in my arms. I picked her up and took her to the cheap bed. I laid her down and got in myself and held her in my arms watching her sleep.

I was feeling tired, but wasn't comfy. I got up and took off my jacket,shirt and shoes. I looked at Hope and saw she was sleeping with her shoes on. I chuckled and went to her. I took off her shoes and her top shirt with left her in her muscle shirt and jeans. I put our clothes on the counter and shoes on the floor. I got back into bed. She then turned and pressed her back to me and I put my arm around her and soon feel asleep.

Hopes POV

I woke up on the bed with something on me I looked and saw an arm. I slowly looked back and saw a sleeping Joshua.

I remembered last night.

I looked on the nightstand and saw my phone. I picked it up and turned it on. The light burned my eyes and I dropped my phone on the bed and rubbed my eyes. I sat up which left Joshua's arm on my lap.

I picked up my phone which didn't hurt me as bad as it did before and it said it was 5:38am.

I got up and looked down. I didn't have my shoes or my top shirt on. Joshua took them off me. I went to my bag and grabbed my toothbrush, toothpaste, and hair brush. I put on my shoes and walked to the front.

Today I saw a man instead, eyes glued to the computer. He was in a polo and tan pants with dress shoes.

"Um excuse me but where's the bathroom? Their wasn't one in my room." I asked him and he pointed to a door. "Thanks." I walked in and did my morning routine. I walked back to my room and saw Joshua sitting up looking at my phone worried.

"What's the matter?" I asked and he jumped.

Guess he didn't expect me.

"You were gone. I had to worry."

I chuckled

"Well, I went to the bathroom to get ready. Which If your coming, you have to also." I told him. His face lite up and next thing I know I was in the air being bear hugged.

"REALLY OH MY GOSH WERE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN! JUST YOU AND ME!" My stomach fluttered when he said that. "Just you and me." He put me down. "You know we will have to get back to the house so I can get my stuff and more clothes for you." He poked my stomach and I made a weird noise.

"Nooo not my tummy!" I said and ran and jumped on the bed hiding my tummy. He laughed and came over to me and looked at me while laughing. I poked his tummy or should I say abs.

"Go put on a shirt." I poked his abs again and laughed.

"You know you love it."

I laughed

"Keep dreaming." I said

"What if I would walk out with you in my t-shirt and I have my jacket on no shirt? What would the people up front think?" He questioned.

I laughed.

"Their mind would wonder."

He looked at me seriously

"Lets do it." He said with his face close to mine.

"Ok." I said while I backed away "Now go brush your teeth, your breath smells!" I said going to the tiny kitchen.
