I'm yours

Part 15

„I… can't reach…“, „Come on, just a little more.“, „I can see that, thank you.“ Beth sarcastically said while trying to reach green field with her left leg.
 Sebastian recommended playing Twister out of the blue and it seemed as a good idea to Beth. But after losing balance 6 times, it got quite on her nerves.
“Ah, finally.” She said after stretching her foot, barely touching the green circle. “Left hand, yellow.”, “Again? It’s not fair. Why do you get the easy ones?” Beth complained when Sebastian simply moved his hand from one yellow circle to another. “I guess I’m lucky.”, “Tch.”, “Left foot, blue.”, “All right, I can deal with that…” The T-shirt Beth was wearing slowly started to slip down to her upper-body because of the position she was in.  As if she was doing pushups. Also, if she raised her head, she could have a perfect view of Sebastian’s crotch. ‘Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!’ she repeated in her head so she could move.
‘Well, that is a defect of playing Twister, after all…’
 “Right hand, blue.” He just stretched his arm. “This is totally unfair.” Beth said with jealousy in her eyes. “What is?” Sebastian gave her questionable look over his shoulder. “I have to spit blood just to move my leg, while you just move a finger. Your arm must be as long as this panel…”Sebastian chuckled and spun the arrow. “I know, I know. That’s why no one wanted to play with me. Left foot, green.” Beth was slightly in shock after hearing that. It was kind of sad. “Wha… R-really?”, “No, just kidding.” ’This guy…’ “Yeah, no comments.” Just an inch before touching the color green, sharp pain went from her foot to her spine. “Cramp in my leg! Cramp in my leg!” she shouted and fell on the floor, biting her fist and hitting the floor with her other fist. Sebastian leaned over her with his hands on his knees and a confused look. “You okay?” Beth shut her eyes and shook her head. ‘Calm down, Beth. He’ll think you’re even bigger wimp than a kid. Wait… Why do I even care?’
 She took a deep breath and sat up, hoping that it would disappear soon. “Don’t touch it.” She quickly said to him, seeing he’s moving his hand to her foot. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”, “Don’t-” she started, thinking how much it’d hurt, but it didn’t. In fact, pain was completely gone. “How did you… Just what in... What?” Beth was confused. No, stunned would be better description. “Ah, just a little trick I learned in… Uh, never mind.” Sebastian stopped talking and the look on his face changed from neutral to slightly pissed off. “Where?”, “It doesn’t matter.”, “Uhm, well, thank you.”
“You’re lack of fitness.” He said while dragging the table back to its place in the middle of the carpet. “Y-Yeah…  I never did great at sports, too.” Beth awkwardly said while looking aside. “That’s alright, I was never first, too. I think it was second or third place, most of the time.” ‘H-Hey, is that supposed to cheer me up?’ “Was your school competitive one?”, “Yeah, we were always first at nationals.”, “Really? What were you playing?”, “Basketball.” ‘Whoa…’ “That sounds great. You’re suitable for basketball.”
Sebastian raised his head from the couch. “Suitable? What way?” he curiously asked. ‘Oh, crap. Beth, you talk too much.’ “Y-You know… You’re tall and… your wingspan is large…” Beth started stuttering and her ears felt a little hot. “Ah, yes, those were the main reasons father enrolled me in the club in middle school.”, “Middle school? How tall were you?”, “Very.” He answered with a chuckle.

“Do you have anything to do? I’ll only get fat doing nothing.” Beth asked Sebastian, who was in the kitchen making lunch. “Well, you could put on a little weight…”, “What did you say?”, “Do you like crosswords?”, “Uh, yeah.” ‘I guess.’ “There are some under the table.”, “’Kay.”

After they ate and Beth solved about 9 crosswords, Sebastian went to pick the dried clothes from the basement while Beth was looking through the window. Cars were covered in snow and people were cleaning snow from the streets. Even though the snow wasn’t falling as hard as before, the wind was blowing and Mr. Johnson still didn’t come. She really needed her laptop. The battery on her phone died and Sebastian didn’t have the same charger. She couldn’t hear Deb or at least text her, new project to make waited for her, as well as dirty apartment. All within 20 feet.

“Okay, bad news.” Sebastian shouted from the hall. “What is it?”, “Well…” he started while putting the basket with the laundry down and then unfolding a shirt. “I washed and dried your clothes, but… it kind of shrunk.” He had an apologetic look on his face while holding Beth’s shirt which now looked like it was for a 10-year-old girl. “How?”, “It may be too high temperature. I don’t know, sorry.” Beth sighed and smiled. “It’s alright.” ‘I’ll just have to wear his clothes, then.’

For dinner, Sebastian was making pancakes. Then came in Beth who wanted a glass of water and then came out Sebastian with Beth following him, covered with riled eggs, ready to take a shower.
After the shower and new, clean clothes on which was even bigger than the last one, Beth came in the living room and quickly sat on the couch. “Was that revenge for shrinking your clothes?” Sebastian asked while bringing the plate with pancakes covered with chocolate and whipped cream. “It wasn’t on purpose.”, “Relax, I’m only joking.”
Their night was followed by watching comedies and eating. Ideal life.
“Well, I’m off to sleep.” Beth said when she felt she’ll fall asleep any minute. And Sebastian probably wanted to sleep, too. “Good night.”, “Thank you.”
Before she laid down, Beth took the sweatpants off because she never slept with them on, except unintentional moments. And she also removed blankets because it was warm in the room.

Somewhere around 3 a.m., Beth woke up, thirsty as hell, so she went to the kitchen to drink water. She didn’t bother to put the glasses and slippers on. As if she was sneaking, Beth quietly walked to the kitchen, silently closing the door. Just as she walked into the kitchen, drowsy and non oriented, she felt a presence and bumped into it, screaming in process. “Beth? Geez, you scared me.” Sebastian said after turning the lights on. Beth’s heart was beating like crazy and her breathing was shallow. “That is my line. Why are you here in dark?”, “Oh, I see where everything is. And you can’t sleep?” Beth took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes. “No, I’m just thirsty.” She didn’t see well because everything was blurry to her, but it seemed as Sebastian was also drinking water. And his hair was a bit off. There were more locks of hair than usual. She didn’t want to stare anymore because she found him looking at her, so she quickly drank 4 glasses of water and went back to bed. ‘Awkward.’
