Dorming With Her (DWTJ series)

Ch. 10

Crawling into bed with Sadie again probably wasn't going to end well, or the best idea, but I was sliding into her bed next to her before I could talk myself out of it. 

"Kent," Sadie murmured, sounding annoyed as ever, "What do you think you're doing?"

I had to know, my mind had been racing all night. "Where have you been all night?"

"Does that really matter right now? We can talk about it in the morning," Sadie suddenly snapped at me but I wanted to talk to her about it now. 

"Why can't we talk about it now?" I cautiously slid my hand between her side and the mattress, pulling her back against my chest and weirdly starting to relax for the first time today. Even with the nasty hangover, I hadn't been able to get a lick of sleep. 

"I'm tired, that's why," She tried to scoot away from me but I held her closer, "and you don't need to know every detail about my life," 

Even as spoke I could feel her body relaxing against mine as well. 

"Then just tell me where you were and we can go to sleep," My eye's were starting to burn from lack of sleep and I could feel my eyelids growing heavier with every passing minute. 

"I was hanging out with Chunk, the twins and Squid. Happy? Now let me go to sleep," She didn't try to push me away, instead she sunk deeper into the mattress and impossibly closer to me. 

No, I wasn't happy with her answer. I felt the familiar rock settle into my chest. Why should I care if she as out with the guys way past curfew? I wasn't her keeper, anyway. 

"They were flirting with you all night, weren't they?" I wanted to slap myself, almost surprised when Sadie didn't. If that didn't make me sound jealous, I don't know what would. 

"So what if they were?" Sadie suddenly turned around, her face inches from mine and our chests pushed against each other now. I liked having her this close. I could barely see her eyes in the dark. "Why are you acting so weird right now?"

My hand naturally rested on the small of her back and I heard her take a sharp breath in. "It was Jayden, wasn't it?" 

Her skin was so smooth, like silk. 

"Seriously Kent, nothing happened so stop being so weird," I think she rolled her eyes, but I wasn't positive with the lack of light. Sadie sighed heavily, turning back around and settling in with her back to my chest again.

Now would be the perfect time for me to slip back into my own bed and leave my roommate alone. But I didn't want to. I liked having Sadie here, in my arms. It was comforting and relaxing. I let my hand rest on her hip, squeezing gently before Sadie mumbled for me to stop touching her hip. 

I took my hand away and held my breath for a moment, what for I have no idea. For a few moments I just listened to Sadie's breathing, becoming deeper, heavier and finally surrendering to sleep. My nerves were shot from the busy, exhausting day I had endured. I should be trying to sleep to, but I suddenly didn't want to. 

I assumed Sadie was asleep, her breathing even and calm, so I reached out and lightly touched her side, not her hip. 

"Kent," Her voice startled me for a second but I continued to gently rub her side. 

"You said not to touch your hip," I knew she was rolling her eyes, I just knew it, but I continued to massage her side, eventually moving up to her back. Her hair smelled like her shampoo, lavender and vanilla, and I found myself gently pressing my lips against the back of her hear. 

She didn't move, didn't try to stop me even, her breathing wasn't as calm as it had been before but I could tell she was relaxed and content with what was happening. Sadie suddenly pushed back, further against me and I dropped my head slightly so I could kiss the back of her neck.
