I watched him as he laughed and he looked really cute but my situation did not let me think about that for long.
I went to the door moving backwards ... occasionally hitting things... before I felt the door.
At the door...I heard laughter and chatter and that only meant people were outside...I couldn't pass and I couldn't think straight...
" So you'll stay in my room till I want to help". He said and continued laughing.
"You know you have the couch to yourself" he added and I realized I didn't want to stand...then I backwardly went to the couch which made him laugh more.
" So how are you going to help me..." I asked
" Would I tell you?" He said.
" You're boring "
" You're actually boring " he said to me.
"I'm not"
" Don't wanna compare and contrast you with Sissy...because you're gonna end up admitting you're boring and since I know that, I'm not gonna compare and contrast" he said
" Hmm!"
" So I'll make things a little interesting for you..."
" And how are you going to do that? Mr Boring?"
" You could challenge me to a game of truth and dare Miss Boring because right now, I do not feel like standing up and you can't just sit there in my room doing nothing and plus, I'm bored "
Truth and dare...that game was a scary one...but i wanted to try.
" Let me give you a hint...do not choose dare else you'd end up walking out with your torn dress to your room"
I laughed and he did too.
" You don't have truths to ask me" I said.
" Really? Let's go then".
" Truth or dare" I asked.
" Dare me"
" You'd piggyback me throughout tomorrow since today's gone" I said
" Piggy back?" he asked.
" No changing of dares! I mean... except if you want to pity the other person " I said realizing that not changing of dares means there would be no change of dares for me.
" Truth or dare lady?" He asked
" Have you accepted my dare?" I asked
" You could lose some weight to help me "
" Do I look weighty?"
" Truth or dare?"
" Well you asked me not to pick dares so I guess I'm gonna stick with truths"
" Okay...when you first set your eyes on me after I left... How did you feel...describe how you felt for a minute" he said looking me.
I coughed.
" I can't describe how I felt for a minute...its just three words!".
" Describing when you first saw me... the reason why your glass of milk fell to the floor... why you took so long in the kitchen... when I walked in...when I told you, you looked beautiful.. Start"
" You don't forget do you?"
" What d' ya think?"
" Well...how am I gonna tell you that?!"
He laughed.
" it's the truth...you shouldn't lie"
I covered my face with my hands.
" Well at first...I felt I was gonna be sick, I mean with my heart racing like it was gonna have an attack and the butterflies in my belly and the memories and well...you were handsome! So I guess that's why I dropped the milk and I totally wasn't expecting to see you years after I'd managed to stop blaming myself for sending you away"
" Woah! 32 secs left" he said clapping.
I still had my hand on my face.
" In the kitchen... I was trying to grasp all what happened that day and well you came in and I blushed a lot and...I couldn't help notice how much you'd changed and how I felt I was going to start cru..."
" Time up" he said and I dropped my hands.
" Thank you!" I said.
" Awww do you feel shy????" He asked Mockingly.
" Hey! Don't you ever pick the truth else you're doomed!"
" What question do you wanna ask? When I first saw you...woah she's hot and then?" He said flatly and I blushed.
" Do you blush at every single thing a guy tells you? " he asked and ate a cake.
" I...I...I don't! I definitely can't remember myself blushing, I'm not the lover girl type"
He didn't speak till he was done with the cake in his mouth.
"You don't even know when you're blushing, you just do it like some kind of reflex action"
" Blushing isn't really my thing, I'm a cool girl"
He smiled.
" So...I'm waiting... Ask"
"What?"
" Have you forgotten we're playing a game"
" Oh yeah...truth or dare?"
" Dare"
" I dare you to tell me the craziest thing you've ever done"
" Well your dare is kinda mixed with the truth but as a cool guy...I'd answer it...I believe the craziest thing I've ever done was crushing on Mrs Morris"
" Who's that?"
" My teacher...Mrs, she was married"
" Are you crazy?"
" You just asked the craziest thing I'd ever done and yeah she was beautiful and she always told me I didn't need to be all high and mighty to be cool... I crushed on her and our third friend... it was always I, Ash, Drake and Sawyer but Sawyer reported that I and Mrs Morris were dating...everything was verified later that it was wrong but she had to leave because of the students and her husband, you know, it was discovered that I had a serious crush on her".
" I still don't get how you can crush on your teacher"
" At least she was the only one not throwing herself on me... Truth or dare"
" But she was way older"
" Truth or dare"
" Please explain how you felt, did you see her again after that? "
" Truth or dare"
" Was she mad at you? "
"Truth or dare"
" Oh gosh! dare! You wouldn't even answer".
He stood up and came to my side and bent down.
" Look into my eyes for 3 mins and if you break the contact... you're gonna do whatever I say throughout tomorrow " he said
" Um..."
" It's a dare "
" OK?"
I looked into his deep green eyes...it was beautiful... As though I was staring into a forest.
He kept on staring at me and I was staring at him... And all of a sudden, it felt like he was reading my emotions...as though he could see it all, knowing that I crushed on him hard since middle school.
He had that dreamy but fierce look...and he looked like he could see through me.
It was really creepy, for a second, you'd ask what is he seeing right now?
My heart race picked up.
Eye contact for this long? It's weird.
" Funny your heart is beating faster" he said and I broke the contact by looking up.
" How ...how can you tell?"
" Your face was getting really restless so I guessed and you confirmed it... Now let's help you...get up" he got up.
" Get up? My cloth is torn!"
" And I wanna help you"
He went to the closet and brought out a white cardigan with long arms.
I stood and he came and tried to hug me.
" Wait..wait wait...what the heck are you doing?" I asked turning.
" Can you just calm down? Or is your heart threatening to burst out?"
He moved closer again and instead of hugging me like I thought he wanted to do, he tried to knot the cardigan round my waist...I could feel his breath near my ear and he was so warm, compared to the cold I felt ...I didn't want him to leave me, I wanted to actually hug him for real...so this was how those girls felt when they said they wanted to stay in the arms of their lover...I began to imagine and I found myself smiling but it was just for a little while, after knotting it at the front, and knotting it at the back he moved away to knot it at the front again. I immediately wore a frown.
" So out you go...I'm ready for bed" he said.
" Oh good night"
I went out and saw some guys and girls...obviously the friends of my cousins"
" Ellie!" That was Christa.
" Woah didn't see you there."
" You're coming out of Eddie's room" She said as though I myself didn't know it was Eddie's room.
" Yeah we're really close now! Besties! Like my friend!" I said and bounced off. Soon we got to the dark corridors and a nasty thought came to my mind...I and Eddie sleeping on the same bed. And then we'd wake up cuddling each other...I smiled and giggled... the thought was nice... I thought of orchestrating the plan... and I giggled and turned back... Luckily those group of people had left... I heard their voices down the corner...I opened the door.
He had switched the lights to blue so I couldn't really see.
" Edriel?"
" Is that? Ellie? "
" Can I stay with you tonight?"
" Seriously, you..." He sat up
I came inside.
" The corridors are dark and scary so I couldn't go..." I started to say in a cat's voice.
" I'll walk you.."
" Mia and sissy aren't there!" I said instantly.
" What?"
" I can't go to bed alone" I said
" Haven't you been sleeping on your own for years?"
" Well...I...I'm not familiar! With the yacht you know? "
" But..."
" Are you turning me away or you don't want me to stay in your bed?"
" I didn't mean that...I'll take the couch "
" I'll have bad dreams! You aren't doing anything bad to me anyway so why can't we share one bed?"
" God... OK come on" he said and I bounced on the bed.
" Hey, you're gonna ruin the sheets" he said getting up.
He stood up.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Don't you take a shower before sleeping?" He murmured but I heard him clearly.
When he was done, he came out already in a white shirt and long white pyjamas.
" Take your bath.... Don't think I'd sleep with a dirty person in my bed"
"Dirty? "
" All the sweat and germs you've gathered"
" Do you have to say it? " I said and hit his face with a pillow and left..
" You'll find my clothes in the wardrobe... take any suitable one for you, though I doubt they're your size"
I took the clothes out...an Ash fluffy top that would be too big for me and a pair of Ash adidas trousers.
I went into the bathroom and undressed...it was smelling of him...I inhaled ...I bathed in the shower...luckily I found a shower cap...
" For Special ladies..." I said and smiled and took my shower.
I used the lovely smelling soap that smelled a lot like him and his bed...and soon I was smelling like him.
I bathed with it and then brushed my teeth last.
Just imagine brushing after bathing.
I exhaled to see how good my breath was and giggled ...everything in the bathroom was so clean and neat.
At last I was done with my bathing...I cleaned my body with the towel and then I wore the warm nice smelling clothes and then I entered his bed and covered myself with the covers.
I wondered if he had slept.
" Are you asleep?" I asked
" How on earth am I gonna sleep when there's someone I don't trust in my bathroom " he said with a tired voice.
" Well sorry".
" You obviously wasted my soap...you're reeking of it "
" Reeking?"
" Yeah I like that word"
" You should just say, I smell way too nice "
" Just go to sleep"
" I'm cold" I said.
" I could give the blankets to you if you want" he said.
Then he suddenly sat up.
" Do you have any ulterior motive for being here?" He asked alarmed.
I laughed.
" Wait, do you think I'm gonna tie you up to a chair and kiss you till you run out of breath?"
" Yeah...and suddenly the whole bed sharing stuff with you is suffocating " he said and I laughed.
" When we get married..this is how we're gonna sleep "
"God, you're creepy.." He said and I laughed again.
" Your jokes are way too expensive"
I laughed.
" Can we sleep now? Being afraid of a little fifteen year old girl is not cool"
" No guys should be careful about this 15 year old..( he said pointing to me) imagine what you did when you were 8 so you're surely worse at 15"
" I promise I won't try to kiss you or anything"
"I'm trusting you" he said and laid back with his back turned to me.
I smiled and chuckled.
I guess I gave him nightmares back then.
I kept on waking in the night... And each time, I'd smile sleepily.
We ended up in different poses...while sleeping I stuck to to his back with one leg on his waist.
The next one when I was a little bit conscious... we were holding ourselves... My head on his chest and his arms on my back and then he suddenly pushed me away sleepily.
I smiled...and then the next time I woke...my chin was on his head and he was cuddled against me.
Oh it was a night of different lovely positions.
When It was morning... we had switched... his chin was on my head while my face was buried in his chest and he held me while one of my legs laid extravagantly on his body.
I actually woke up early...Most times, it'd be close to noon before my eyes would flutter open.
He shook and I moved closer.
" Holy crap!" He suddenly exclaimed and then he tried pushing me but I held him tight.
" I'm sleeping" I said still with my head in his chest.
" Stop clinging to me" he said
And then we separated... I yawned and stretched and smiled with my eyes closed... dang I had a good dream and then I looked at him.
" This should be the first and last time I'd sleep with you" he said and then there were gasps at the door.
" What the!?" We said and just then the door opened and then my friends, his friends, and our siblings and our mothers! Came inside looking at us... and then we looked at ourselves and stammered trying to explain.
" I didn't mean sleep..." He started to say.
"He didn't mean sleep..."
"All we meant..."
"I was so scared..."
"No ..."
"No...no..."
"Will you shut up?!" We said at the same time asking ourselves to shut up.
" So..."
"Then ..."
"We ...just...."
"No no no don't get it wrong "
"OH PLEASE SHUT UP!" We said to each other.
