Rhys had been acting weird since the drive home. I thought maybe this kiss would mean something, that i would mean something. But he's been quiet. And now im just confused.
It was late at night and i was hungry. I got out of my bed in just my night gown, and went to the kitchen getting a snack when i saw Rhys in the living room sitting in his arm chair, water in hand.
"Hungry?" He said lowly.
I nodded. "Want some?"
He shook his head. "Get your food and go to your room."
I nodded, getting my food. "Are you okay?"
He nodded, eyeing me, waiting for me to leave.
But instead i came and sat on the sofa looking at him as i ate.
"Myla." His voice strained suddenly.
"Rhys what's wrong?"
"Please, to go your room."
"Are you okay?" I asked, just to make sure.
"Myla, i'm asking you nicely and i'm trying not to get pissed-so just go to your room."
I stood up grabbing my snacks. "I'm sorry, i'll go now. Do you need anything?"
"No. Go to your room."
"Okay." I went to my room with my snacks, wondering what was wrong.
And by the time i got to my room, i heard soft grumbles and annoyed noises. I ate in my bed, until i fell asleep.

I woke up, feeling arms scooping me up. I shifted, opening an eye and seeing it was Rhys, i pushed my face into his neck. His hand on my ass the other on the back of my head. And i felt him placing me in his bed with him.
I opened my eyes, watching Rhys lay the covers over me, as he layed beside me.
I moved close to him, his bare chest against my pajamas. "Are you okay?" I asked softly, my eyes closing and i rubbed his back as we laid on our sides.
He nodded, gently tucking his head into my neck. "Is this okay?" He whispered.
I nodded. "You wanna talk or sleep?"
Rhys's breathe shuttered. "Sleep."
"Okay, shhh." I rubbed his back up and down.
I was confused about what was going on. One minute he's all over me, the next he's cold and an asshole again, and then he goes back to soft. It's confusing me.
He's just a confusing man.
I rubbed his back, falling asleep in his bed with him. He was so warm and comforting, his massive body curled into mine.
