Chapter Twenty.

"Our room is up there." He points with his head.

I clear my throat. "I'm not going up there with you Bangi. In case you forgot what almost happened in there."

He chuckles. "I won't do anything to you. No funny business."

"Struu?"

"Struu." He holds out his pinky finger and I hook mine to his. "Hamba ke, I have to switch off the light."

I roll my eyes before heading up the stairs. I can't believe I'm actually putting myself in this situation all over again. I open the door and find the room light turned on. His bed was slept in. I walk forward just as I hear the door close. I hug myself.

"Which side am I sleeping on?" I ask.

I can't believe I'm not even suggesting the floor for the man, busy asking which side I could sleep on.

"Any side baby."

He hooks his arm around my neck kissed my cheek before walking off to the bathroom. I rush to the side I've mentally chosen and immediately jump in covering myself with his covers. I prop myself up before pulling the top down. Oh gosh. I lay back down again and pull it down at the front. Okay. But I can't sleep looking up. I'll have bad dreams and that was not the plan here. 

I turn to the side where the empty space was. 

Mhnnn...no. I can't face him. 

I turn to the other side and sigh out. What if I fart looking this side. With that yoghurt in my system it was probably going to make me gassy. I sit up and fix the pillow underneath me before laying down again, facing up once more.

What if my periods start now and...oh gosh whats the date today? I forgot my phone in the guest room!

Look at me and my irregular cycle checking out the calendar as if that has ever worked for me. I don't have cramps though...do I?

I reach out to return Bangi's phone to his bedside table.

"And then?" I hear him say before I spring back into my original position. "Who are you wrestling?"

"Huh?"

"Who are you fighting with? I could hear you tossing from in there." He chuckles.

Okay now he's just being dramatic. He goes to switch off his lights and makes his way to here. He climbs in before I turn my head to face him. He's facing up. Not saying a word.

"What are you thinking about?" He looks my way.

"Nothing."

"Oh." I turn my whole body to face the same direction I was looking to.

"Would you like to cuddle?" He asks.

I giggle before nodding slowly. "Yes."

"Jika ke baby." He says and I do so as I felt him coming closer to me. "You okay?" His hand rests on my waist. 

I put a hand under my head. "Are you okay?" I ask back.

"Now that I'm holding you, yes."
