A/N: Guys, don't freak out. I'm still alive. Sorry tho for not posting for two days straight without any notice. But as promised in the previous chapter, here is a chapter that is slightly sexual. Also, as an apology gift, I've decided to make good use of the weekend and try -NOT A PROMISE- to upload two chapters per day. So which means, you have four chapters to look forward too over the weekends. Sorry this is slightly short than usual tho. Enjoy.
P/s: Of course. -DANGER ALERT- MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN A SLIGHTLY STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT. READERS' DISCREETION ADVICED.
[Preston's POV]
I could feel myself coming alive from this never-ending sleep, for some reason my eyes feel really heavy to open. I move my body into another position and I realise again that it felt odd and hurt my every aching body. The next thing I know I'm hearing loud sounds of beepings that just indicates that I could be at the hospital.
Oh I remember now. I remember Rob the last time before I fell unconscious. Looking at it now, he was my guardian angel.
I open my eyes, and I see him along with Jerome and all my other friends at my face. As soon as they saw me opening my eyes, they sigh in relief and couldn't be anymore glad. Rob was even jumping with joy.
"How long has it been?" I ask sounding a little weak
"About a day, Preston." Jerome answers me with a refreshing smile.
"How ya been, Preston?" Alanna says as she rubs me by the hand in comfort.
"Well...unconscious, I guess?" They chuckle to my response, and I smile back to them.
"Wow, not even a day yet but I already miss that smile" Sara compliments as she comes closer to me in a hug. Sara's my friend I met since kindergarden, and we've been going into the same school ever since. I guess you can say she and I are kind of like Rob and I, but not as close. She's like my sister.
They took turns one by one from Sara to Alanna to Jess to Jerome and finally him. For some reason he was hugging me really long and tight, could it be because he also has feelings for me and misses me?
Upon pulling myself away, I instantly detect something that wasn't suppose to be there. "Rob?" I call his name out as I stare directly at all the horrendous-looking black-blue bruise spots filled around his neck and shoulder. Love bites?!
He looks at it and immediately covers all of it with his hand, tugging on his shirt hoping to cover it as well. It seems that he doesn't even know that it was there from the start, he also seemed embarrassed by it. "I-It's not what it looks li--. I-I d-don't... I don't know how it got there." Rob answers stuttering, a sweat starts to stream down his face as he tries hard to hide his blushing.
"Wow, Robbie! I see why you forgot to pick Preston up. You were too busy doing the deed ." They all laugh together in response to Alanna's joke.
I pretend to laugh, but in truth my heart was slowly dying. Even if it wasn't, it wanted to. Dying to the fact that seeing that hickey on his shoulder made me realise that Rob and I are never going to end up together, not in a million years, not ever. It's only just a dream, a fantasy, and it will never happen.
"Well Rob, who's the lucky girl?" Jess asks hoping for an answer, but all Rob did is deny it, and they tease him for it in return.
I don't even know what to believe anymore. He's been my friend since forever and we never hide secrets from each other, so honestly I should believe him. But if he didn't do it, then how did it get there? It seemed pretty recent, and the last time I met him his shoulder was clear.
