~ What If We could Rewrite the Stars ✨

Chapter 17

Nate's POV

Dizzy.. It was the first feeling that hit me when my consciousness returned. It was dark in the room, with occasional illumination by the flash lightning outside. It's still raining.

The bed felt as soft as white fluffy clouds floating here and there in the blue sky on a sunny day. The blanket has embraced me in its warm protection. Dylan has really provided me with the best supplies.

I was about to close my eyes back when I heard someone snore besides me.

Holy mo- I sat straight up at a incredulous speed. I have an intruder in my room!!! He even dares to sleep with me.

Mmm- a disapproving grunt escaped the sleeping man's lips as an arm wrapped across my lap. I stiffened. I need to find a way to protect myself.

Maybe because of sitting in the dark for too long my eyes could pick up vague shapes now. I looked to my left. Flower vase? Perfect!

My hand slowly reached for it.

"Nate, stop moving." A sleepy voice sounded almost immediately followed by a lightning.

I saw my intruder's face for a split second. Dylan Evans?

Memories flooded back in. I came out of the shower- Dylan accidentally knocked glass down- I wanted to clean the mess and got injured in the process- maybe my haemophobia acted in.

Subconsciously I tried touching my injured finger. Oh! It was plastered with band-aid. Who helped me? My eyes darted towards the sleeping figure. Dylan?

It was you again. It is always you.

Poor Dylan. After such a tiring day, he still had to take care of me. I hated my scaredy cat ass.

I sighed. Haih! He was so tired that he felt asleep on my bed- wait a minute! Wasn't my bed meant for one person?
Why does it seems so huge now?

Could it be? Oh no! I was on Dylan's bed????

I felt butterflies in my stomach as my heart forgot how to function properly; skipping a beat or two.

Did I ever dream of sleeping on his bed, let alone with him? My self-restraint has crossed its maximum point. My willful, selfish side was beginning to show. The devil in me whispered in my brain, "Cherish this once in a lifetime moment."

For the first time I wanted to give in to my Devil. For the first time in my life I wanted to be selfish. For the first time in my life I didn't want to think about the consequences of my dirty actions.

I wanted to sleep with him. I wanted to wake up next to him. I wanted to be the first to see his morning face. Atleast for once in my life.

Heavens, pardon me just for tonight. I know probably this will make me feel guilty for the rest of my life, but tonight.. tonight I want to give in to the temptation. "Sorry Dylan..." I whispered under my breath.

I brought my pillow closer to his and slept facing him. Perhaps because it was colder than usual because of the heavy downpour, Dylan snuggled closer to me. I felt sudden jealousy surge through my bloodstream. Yes, I was jealous, jealous of everyone who might have witnessed his sleeping face.

My arms automatically encircled his torso and to my surprise he left his pillow and laid his head on my arm. As if mimicking my position, his strong arms held me close to him.

I knew Dylan would fire me tomorrow once he finds out I took advantage of his sleeping self. But, for once, I wanted to sleep hugging him.

Dylan's POV

I rubbed my face on the warm and comfortable pillow.. mmm.. baby powder.. smells so good.. I shifted to a more comfortable position, draping my leg over the bolster and placing my head on a higher pillow.

How long it has been since I got such a comfortable and fulfilling sleep? May be three years?

My mood was really good until I heard a regular sound erupting from my pillow. My eyes snapped open.

I-was-sleeping-on-somebody.

My eyes took in the bare torso and baby tummy reminding me of my unwell assistant and how I slept with him last night.

Dylan Dylan Dylan! You were supposed to take care of him and not to use him as a bolster and pillow. This little guy was already sick, and you-

His small hands were wrapped around me. Perhaps sensing my movement, he was now stroking my head as if to say - go back to sleep, it's still early. This acted like a magical lullaby, the insomniac me drifted back to dreamland.
