Dalton City

Pt.46

I smile.
The smile this time is real.
I fake smile a lot.

"I'm not a big baby at all" i chuckle.

"You miss me too" she slurs.

For some reason, a weird feeling in my stomach makes me turn.
I feel all funny.
This is new.

"Uhh yeah" i say.

"I should get some sleep" she slurs, "you know, before I pass out" she tells me.

"Yeah me too" i say.

Me too.
I hang up the phone after our goodbyes, sit there in silence and lay back down.
Slowly drifting off to sleep.

I've been wearing his jumper for awhile now.
For some reason I can't let go of it.

It smells like him, reminds me of him... was his.
It's mine now.

I watch romcoms in it.
Sleep in it.

Go out in it.
Lounge around in it.

But right now, I'm in my underwear and a bra.
Watching the jumper go round and round in the washing machine.

The door knocks and I'm brought to my senses.
Wrap a robe around me and head toward the door, that's open.

"Hi" a mans voice says as i jump around to see him...
A blonde familiar face, slumped on the sofa.

"Hi" i say back.
Meanwhile, I'm freaking the fuck out.

There's apparently still a bounty on my head.

According to the boys, I'm to be stuck on watch down.

Meaning that, even though they do watch our every move.
I'm to be watched... even more.

"I can shower alone you know" i tell Dalton.

Who sits on the floor beside the shower and raises his eyebrow at me.

"What if a man comes through the window" he says.

"A man won't come through the window" i chuckle.

"You'd be surprised, someone can literally climb through the window and then either kill you or wait for you" he tells me.

"How the hell would you know" I ask, while washing my hair.

"Even i do it. I've done it before" he says.

"You've climbed through peoples windows" i say.

"Yes" he says.

"While they were showering" i ask him.

"I haven't while they were showering.... no" he says.
