STUBBORN HEARTS<3 (complete)

Awareness and Something More

His breath fanning my face was a sign that he was getting closer. So, I waited. Eventhough I

hated myself for it, I waited. But no kiss came. I opened my eyes and looked at him, wondering

what’s wrong. I saw a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Oh! Dang it! He was just playing. AISH! He chuckled low, pulled back and turned around.

“Gotcha” he muttered. I glared at his bare back. With my blood boiling hot against my veins, I

went to attack him. I jumped on his back and bit hit shoulder HARD, and started hitting every

part of him I could reach with my fist. His towel suddenly dropped to the floor. I stopped and

climbed down, about to laugh at his nudity but the laughter died in my throat as I saw that he was

wearing boxers.

“You’re wearing boxers!” I said, my tone came out in an accusing one.

“You’re saying it like it’s a sin” he said, bent down to pick the towel up and straightened up and

faced me. He then showed me his trademark devil smile.

“What are you smiling at?!” I snapped.

“You look disappointed with the boxers”

“I am certainly not!” I defiantly said. I raised my chin stubbornly. “Since it’s so useless talking

to you, I’ll just go to sleep”

“Suit yourself” he shrugged.

I was on the bed for five minutes- I think- when I felt a movement on the other side of the bed.

My eyes snapped open.

“What do you think are you doing?!” I aghastly asked.

“Going to sleep” he said as if it’s the most normal thing to say.

“You can’t sleep here in the same bed with me!”

“Why not?”

“Because. . . .” I searched for words but my mind failed me. “Because I don’t want to! And it’s

so ungentleman of of you if you do that!”

But he ignored me and just lied down.

“I don’t want to sleep beside you!”

“Then go ahead and sleep on the floor” he said.

“Why don’t you do that? You’re the guy!” I snapped but he just turned his back on me. “Ya! I’m

talking to you!”

“I want to sleep”

“Gah! We can’t sleep in one bed!” I insisted and started pushing and kicking him off the bed.

When he fell off, I quickly lied down, threw my arms and legs all over the bed so he won’t have

space to lie in. I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my stomach and realized he was lying across

me. I started tossing; trying to throw him off but he suddenly pushed me over the edge, making

me fall down on the floor with the sheets.

I climbed back to the bed and we started grueling for space again. But of course, he was stronger

than me. I growled out in frustration when I realized he would not leave the bed to me alone.
