Chaoter 36 - Shame

Chapter 36 - Shame

[Next Day]

The comfort of my bed warms me up, snuggling deeper into the sheets as I lay there with Christian sleeping beside me. I cradle his head, massaging his hair as I breathe in the morning air of my dorm, being met by light pouring into my room, along with the light that shines above me. Christian is buried underneath the sheets, only having my head popping out and resting on my pillow. The feeling of having someone next to me while I sleep flutters my insides, putting me in a safe spot that I love. But my relaxation is cut off from a loud voice ringing in my ears.

“Aimee, we’re going to be late for classes! Get up!” Tibby’s voice is noisy, fading in and out around me. I hear her running around the dorm room, dropping things along her way. I scrunch up my face, trying to open my eyes from my beauty sleep. Her voice keeps coming out, annoying me to the point where I almost block my ears. “Aimee, come on! Get out of bed!”

Crap. If she said we’re late, then how long did I sleep for? How much fun did Christian and I have last night? My heart pumps, trying to move my body but not being able to because of how tightly wrapped I am within the sheets, keeping in the warmth of the covers and Christian’s body against mine. I can feel his stomach rising and falling from his breaths, tingling my body when it connects with mine. I never want this to end, but it will soon.

“Aimee, come on—.” Suddenly, the sheets are ripped off of me, revealing my half naked body… and Christian too. I hear Tibby gasp loudly above me, hearing her go silent as she takes in the scene before her eyes. I open mine to see her surprised and confused, edging back as she cups her hand over her open mouth. I am left speechless too, seeing as how I’m only in my underwear and a topless guy is in my bed. I sit up, tucking my hair behind my ears, staring at Tibby not knowing what to do. Awkwardly grabbing the duvet to cover my body, I wake up Christian, only resulting in a deep moan. I hate to do this to him, but I shake him until he opens his eyes and sits up as well, taking in the scene.

“Okay, why do I see two half naked people in my room?” Tibby asks with a sarcastic voice. Her rhetorical question makes me even more speechless, wanting to explain everything to her but knowing I can’t because Christian is here. I look to him and bite my lip, meeting his eyes where he looks embarrassed as much as me. The air is still silent, passing precious time when instead it could be used for getting ready for classes. But first, we have a problem to figure out.

Christian suddenly shakes the bed, climbing over me as he crouches on the floor to pick up his clothes. I admire his body that I had all to myself last night, touching his lightly toned abs after we took our clothes off. I do the same, sliding my pants up to my hips while Tibby watches us with close scrutiny. I can feel my face go red, being completely embarrassed at this time. Once Christian and I are both dressed, he leaves our dorm, giving me a smile as he closes the door behind him. I give one back, quickly removing it as I turn my head back to Tibby’s.

“Okay, what the hell happened last night?” Anger is clear in her voice, sending chills down my spine as her expression gives away her mood. She stands with her hands on her hips, leaning forward to demand an answer from me. I stand still, not knowing what to say to her about my encounter with Christian last night. Lacing my fingers together, I fiddle my thumbs, trying to distract myself while being caught red faced.

“Well, we didn’t do anything you were thinking, that’s for sure.” I start off, expressing my voice through an annoyed tone, rolling my eyes as this whole drifting away business is coming down to now. Tibby raises her eyebrows, clearly surprised at my answer. “So you didn’t have sex with Christian?”

“No!” I exclaim, scrunching up my face. “He came knocking on my door a couple of hours after you left and… things got a bit intimate between us.”
