Chapter 43
JASON’S POV
Work had been good today, long but good. We had done two houses and so I was tired. Leah’s nightmare hadn’t woken me up, I woke up without her next to me and it was before 5am. Seeing her starting at the wall, I walked up to her and sat beside her and held her hand.
The day went by slowly but, being busy helped. Being on the bus getting home, I knew I was going to sleep a bit when I’d get home and hit the bed. Since Leah now knew that I’d sleep a bit before she got home, I was less worried.
Getting off the bus and walking to our apartment felt so difficult. I just wanted to lay down and if I could do it on the side walk I would.
Finally getting into the apartment, I closed and locked the front door and went to the bedroom. After taking off my pants and sock, leaving me in my t-shirt and boxers I got under the covers and passed out.

I could feel someone slowly touching my hand, like fingers going over my knuckles. Slowly waking up and finally opening my eyes, I made eye contact with Leah. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
‘Hi’ she said.
‘Hey baby. How long have you been here?’ I asked her.
‘Half an hour.’ She said.
‘Shit, I’m sorry.’ I said sitting up in the bed.
‘You don’t have to be sorry.’ She said then added, ‘you’re cute when you sleep, and I never had the chance to see that yet.’ She said with a smirk.
‘You wake up before me sometimes.’ I stated.
‘Yeah, I know, but I never just stayed in bed, I always get up. I guess I never thought about it before.’ She told me.
‘Is Chris here?’ I asked, hoping she’d say no.
‘Yeah, he’s in the living room. He bused home with me.’ She said.
I rolled my eyes, wishing he wasn’t here yet. I wanted to be with her, and the only time we had was really when he wasn’t here or in the shower.
‘Want to take a shower?’ I asked her, being hopeful.
She laughed, got closer to me and kissed me slowly.
‘Later’ she said.
‘Later?’
She laughed again, ‘Yeah, you still want to go for a walk in the park, right?’ she asked.
