LUCY
My eyes dilated in shock. She wants me to share the bed with her. Is she being serious right now? Did she forget that I don't stay close to females? "You broke the law already," my subconscious mind said
I groaned. I might be close to her and also feel comfortable, sitting or standing by her side but that doesn't mean I want to share a bed with her. "Lucian!!" She called, jolting me out of my thought. I rolled my eyes and she pouted. I groaned. "Please. I can't sleep without holding someone. The horror movie..."
I furrowed my eyes. "You don't watch horror movies?"
She made puppy eyes and nodded. I hissed. I should have suspected the horror movie was the reason she can't sleep alone. I groaned. I knew she might not like horror movies but I just don't know if its effect will be this strong. "Why didn't _lu tell me you don't watch horror movies?"
She rolled her eyes. "I never said I don't like it. I was only trying to say that..."
"You love horror movies but this one isn't your type? huh?"
She chuckled and I hissed. The problem here is that she doesn't watch horror movies and she Isn't ready to accept the fact that she doesn't. I sighed, since she doesn't want to accept the fact, we'd better not talk about it again. "Lucian..." She called
I sighed. "Nora, I can't sleep on the bed with you. You either sleep on the bed alone or you..."
"Or I leave?" She sighed. "Maybe I should just go back to my room"
She turned to leave and I groaned. "Wait. You want us to share the bed right? We will"
I heard her chuckle and I groaned. I can't believe I agreed to share the bed with her. What is wrong with me? "I don't want to share the bed with you again," she said and I batted my lashes. She doesn't mean those words right?
"Of course, she doesn't," my subconscious mind said
I chuckled. I know she doesn't mean them. She can't sleep alone, I know that. "Are you sure you don't want to share my bed with me?"
"No, I don't"
I rolled my eyes. Let's see if she meant her words. "If that is the case, you can make use of the door. I need to sleep". She stared at me with fear evident in her eyes but she tried as much as she can to hide it. I chuckled. I went to lie on the bed. Thank goodness, I am already dressed in my nightwear. I yawned. "Good night, Nora". She batted her lashes and I laughed. "If you don't leave. I will switch off the light". She rolled her eyes and I chuckled. I switched off the light and I heard her groan. I laughed
"Lucian?". I ignored her. "Lucian?". I rolled my eyes. I remember having a scary sound on my phone. I decided to play pranks on her. I drew up my duvet cover and placed my phone beneath it to prevent her from seeing the light. I played the sound and I could hear her scream. "Lucian, can you switch on the light please". I ignored her. "Lucian!!. I'm so scared right now". I couldn't prevent myself from laughing. I felt a hand touch my legs. I know it was Nora so I pretend to be asleep. "Lucian?". I heard her sniff. Is she crying? I rolled my eyes. "Lucian?"
I switched on the light and she wriggled herself on my body, holding me tightly and hiding her face. I groaned. Can she get off me? I pushed her slightly. "Hey. Get off me!!"
She hit me. "I hate you!!. You're so heartless!!"
I chuckled. She raised her head. Her eyes were red and puffy. "Did you cry?"
"I hate you!!" She cried
I had to forget about not wanting girls closer to me. I pulled her close to me. "Hey, I'm so sorry. I never knew it will scare you"
She sniffed and pulled herself away. "I'm leaving"
I chuckled. "Are you sure?". She hissed. "Do you still want to share the bed with me or not?"
"I don't want to!!" She yelled
I shrugged. "If that's the case, I can switch off my light then"
I placed my hand on the switch and pull it down. She held me quickly, burying her face in my chest. I sighed. "I thought...". She hit me and I chuckled. I had to relax on the bed to make her feel comfortable. She adjusted herself and my right hand fell on her face. I sighed. I placed a hand on her hair. I was tempted to caress her hair, but I decided against it. I closed my eyes, inhaling her fragrant. I could hear her breathe. It was a bit shallow. "Nora?". Realizing she might be already asleep, I opened my eyes. My hand moved slowly across her hair. I switched on the light and then I turned slightly. She was asleep peacefully. I made her lay on the bed but she held me. I sighed and let her place her head on my chest. I can't believe I feel so comfortable with her on my chest. It made me remember so much about Julia. I caressed her hair. She's been the only girl I've been this comfortable with aside from Julia. I smiled. She looked so cute while sleeping. I pecked her forehead and sighed. "Nora, I hope I won't fall in love with you, just like I did with Julia. My heart isn't healed, yet and I don't think I want to love right now. But my heart is failing me right now and I'm already getting comfortable with you. I hope I won't fall in love with you. That's if I haven't already". I sighed. "Good night, Nora" I pecked her cheeks and then her nose. "Sorry, I have to steal a kiss from you tonight" I said and finally pecked her lips. I lay back and closed my eyes. Now that I'm comfortable with her, I know I will have to get used to holding her more often.
