Not Sorry I Left

Chapter 26

The last day of the trip.

Rita's POV.

When I woke up the first thing I became aware of was the fact that someone's arms were around me. I lay there with my eyes closed, slowly waking up. Once I became fully conscious, I blinked a couple times and opened my eyes. My face was buried in.... Cyrus's neck. It was quite comfortable, actually. His arms were around my waist and mine were curled around his neck. Our legs were tangled up with each other's and the heat from his body sunk into me. I didn't want it to stop. He shifted a small bit, leaning even more into me. I thought he was asleep, so I didn't expect it when he mumbled "Rita?" in a sleepy yet attractive voice.

"Yeah?" I said into his shirt.

"I didn't know if you were awake." He replied, shifting back to look at me.

"I am."

" We should..."

"Should what?"

"Never mind."

He pulled me closer and I buried my face in his neck again.

"Okay."

We stayed like that for a long time, not talking, just laying there.

Cyrus's POV.

I wake up and Rita is in my arms. It feels so right and I don't want to let go. So I don't. I just lay there until she wakes up. I shift so I am even closer to her than before I can't help myself. I am still waking up when I mumble "Rita?" she looks up at me with her amazing blue eyes.

"Yeah."

"I didn't know if you were awake."

She blushes and looks down and then up again and all I can see is her beautiful eyes so I lean back to look at all of her and take her in. All I am thinking about is how wonderful she is and wondering why, of all the people she could have, would she like me? I don't mind that she likes me, though. Not at all.

"I am." she replies.

"We should..."Get up. But I bite back my words because then she might think I don't like her and that isn't true. Also because I really don't actually want to get up.

"Should what?" She asks, looking up at me.

"Never mind." I just want to continue to lay here with her right next to me. I lean back into her at that same time she does and tighten my arms around her waist. She hums in pleasure and buries her face in my neck again.

"Okay," she replies.

It's probably about 6:30 in the morning when we finally get up and eat breakfast. We are all at one of the hotel table eating and laughing but my mind can't stop thinking about the fact that I woke up in Cyrus's arms and just stayed like that for a long time. My cheeks flush terribly with a deep red every time I think of his arms around my waist so I try to avoid the subject all together. Suddenly James interrupts us to tell us that we will be leaving at exactly 1pm so everyone should be ready by then.

"Hey we are going for a hike, me and Max." Jay whispered in my ear.

"Okay! Take care."

They both stood up and left.

Caleb is busy telling us how he tried to approach one of the three girls he had seen yesterday and suddenly the ugly boy appeared.
