Sleeping Arrangements

After about an hour Mr.Riley released his grip on me and I was able to move freely but not as freely as I'd like. Once I laid flat on my back I noticed how confined my feet were, they couldn't even stick straight up. I was so used to floating so freely in my tank that the thought of being held down by a blanket caused me distress. So I attempted to pull the blankets out without waking the sleeping lion next to me. My plan was way more difficult than I thought it would be. I pulled as hard as I could and still it wouldn't budge. A groggy voice came out of the dark, "What are you doing?" 

"Um, the blankets are too tight on my feet and I can't sleep," I said nervously, he sounded just as mad as I thought he'd be if I woke him up yet again. There was a long pause so I just assumed Levi went back to bed. But before long Levi ripped the blankets off his body proceeding to get out and walk over to the bottom of my side of the bed. He then yanked the rest of the blanket out from under the bed, "Better?" He asked. I moved my feet around feeling the freedom, "Yes, thank you."

"Now can we get to bed, it's 1 in the morning and we have a busy day tomorrow," he said climbing back into bed.

That same silence was back and this time I was sure Levi was already asleep, his breathing was heavier than before. I stared up at the ceiling thinking about the eventful day I had. I finally was set free, I got to meet a wonderful man who is very good looking, and I was happy. I was still worried that at any moment I could be sent back to Hoffmans, that thought was constantly nagging me. I pushed those negative thoughts out of my head and began to think about all the new things that I would experience tomorrow. Colors and smells floated across my mind. Now that I got rid of the bad thoughts I had gotten myself all excited about the next day and couldn't get to sleep. I stared at the white ceiling watching the many colors from outside project themselves onto the blank canvas. I listened to the cars honking and sirens wailing in the distance but nothing seemed to be working. I whispered, "Levi, you still awake?"

"Yes, I am now," he replied his voice horse and deeper than normal. 

"Sorry," I said, I felt bad waking him up for the second time tonight but I didn't really know what to do.

"It's fine, what's wrong?"

"I can't sleep. I'm too hyper."

Levi started to laugh and he turned over so now he was facing me, as we lay eye to eye he asked, "Do you want me to sing a song? I find that always helps me to relax."

"You can sing?" I asked astonished.

"Yeah I know a few songs but first," he said and grabbed my waist pulling me closer to him so my face was up against his chest. Heat radiated off of him and I felt oddly comfortable. As he started to sing I could feel the vibrations rumbling from his chest.

~I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair.

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here.

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end.

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt.

If we could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way~

LEVI:

I woke up a lot earlier than I usually would on one of my rare days off, maybe it was because there was a kickboxer in my bed. All throughout the night Thea was tossing and turning, which soon became hitting and kicking. It was around 4 o'clock in the morning when I decided to sleep on the couch downstairs. Once the sun woke me up I headed upstairs to check on Thea. Some sort of happiness filled me when I found her sleeping sprawled out, her face buried in a pillow, blankets barely covering her. That was when I realized her shirt was riding all the way up her back. Nothing was left to the imagination- Thea's ass was hanging out, really waking me up from the post-sleep haze. The black lace underwear hugged her curves perfectly making it extremely difficult to pull my eyes away. Walking up to the bed I pulled the blankets over her covering her exposed bottom. I mentally cursed at Hoffman for going to this extreme.
