CHAPTER 38:

Emma's POV:

I wake up with a jolt. I just had a nightmare. It was my brother, I saw him with my own eyes. I had the same nightmare that I have had in this room for years.

I know I won't be able to fall asleep now. For sometime, I just toss and turn in the bed. For once, I want to try sleeping without taking my pills. I lay on the bed for a few minutes but I am awake like an owl.

I decide to sneak into Jeremy's room. I tiptoe towards the guestroom and open the door slowly. I shut the door behind me and get in the bed. I lay down and within a minute I feel his hands on me. I realise he is wearing his boxers only.

"What are you doing here?" He asks me in a sleepy voice.

"I couldn't sleep. Sorry for waking you up" I say and face him. I place my palm on his cheek softly.

"It's okay. Lets go back to sleep" he says and pull me closer to him. I fall asleep in his arms, without any sleeping pills. It feels like heaven, being surrounded by him and his cologne. I fall asleep to the rhythm of his beating heart.

I wake up the next morning with a jolt when I hear a loud shriek. I look at the door and both my parents are standing there with wide eyes. They are wearing the Christmas hoodies that we wear every year. They definitely didn't expect the both of us to be sleeping in the same bed. Jeremy is still fast asleep as he is a heavy sleeper.

"I thought I made it very clear that you shouldn't be in the same bed" my father whisper shouts. He looks pissed but my mom on the other hand, just looks amused by the scene in front of her. I try waking Jeremy but he doesn't budge.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came in. It wasn't his fault." I whisper shout back. I don't want to face this situation alone, so I try waking him up again. But my efforts are vain.

Infact, he does the very opposite by pulling me inside the blankets again.

"Baby" he whines and my father's eyes are about to come out of his sockets.

"Lets go back to sleep, I am really sleepy" he speaks up again in his sexy groggy voice. I shake my head, this is not the time to fawn over him. I silently ask my mom to take him away, and she does that.

"Honey, let's give them some privacy. We'll talk later" my mom says and takes my dad out the door. Just before shutting the door, she winks at me and I almost die of embarassment.

When they are gone, I take a breath of relief. I grab a pillow and hit Jeremy right in his face.

"Oww!" He says and looks at me.

"Why would you do that?" He asks me as he rubs face.

"My dad saw us like this!" I exclaim.

"I don't think it's that big of a deal" he says and sits up.

"Not a big deal? He will kill you. His daughter sleeping in the same bed as another man. It's his worst nightmare come true" I try to explain why it's a big deal.

"Chill! I'll handle him" he says very casually. He is taking this lightly, so I try to explain the weight of this situation.
