He stood before me, his eyes changing back to soft grey, "Really?"

"Yes" I replied, exhaling to release tension from my body

Hearing slight crunching under my Converse, I carefully went next to the guest room with Orlyndo beside me. Before I could go in, he yanked me to him, picking me up under my thighs- carrying me bridal style.

After we took separate showers and got into pajamas privately, I looked at the clothes he gave me to put on that were on me. I feel warm and smell like him- Irish Spring.

Seeing him lay in bed, his jaw was clenched as he scowled at my actions- I was doing a little dance as I heard Stitches by Shawn Mendes come on TV.

"Why are you always serious?" I questioned

"Me?" Orlyndo raised an eyebrow

I nodded, "Yes. You never smile, even when you want to you don't. Why?"

He moved his head a bit to the right, sitting up against the pillows, "Lay with me"

The feeling of being ignored panged my veins, causing my arms to hit a nerve. Biting my bottom lip, I walked over to the side of the bed. I stood there, playing with the sheets while tapping my foot.

He groaned in irritation as he scooted over to the side of the bed where I was. His arms went around my waist, bringing me in the bed with him. I was laying on the edge of him, my body slightly on his.

"There, that's better" He put his cheek on my hair

I giggled, his lips giving my forehead little pecks. They were soft kisses, those kisses that leave you in a Unicorn and rainbows daydream.

"You're mine," He whispered, "And I'll be damned if I have to share"

☼☼☼☼

"You're sleeping with him?!" Maryland screamed in the phone

I winced at the loud pitched squeal, hoping Orlyndo wouldn't awaken, "Not exactly"

"Oh" She said in a bored tone, "So just, laying with him?"

"Basically, but can you quiet down please? He's asleep"

"Not anymore" Orlyndo groggily spoke, his sleepy voice deep

Maryland and I were quiet- super quiet.

"Tell your friend you will call her later" He cleared his throat, one of his fingers tracing circles on my shoulder

"Ooh, okay, zaddy" Maryland purred and laughed, ending the call

Tucking in my lips, I put my phone back on the nightstand. Orlyndo turned my chin to him, lifting it up- his lips pressed against mine. The kiss that was once bittersweet became passionate and tender. His hands went up the shirt I'm wearing, taking it off my body. Our lips reconnected while his arms hugged me once again.

His teeth bit down on my bottom lip, gently tugging on it. My head inched forward only craving for more.

Our foreheads touched, and I heard his breathing hitch, "I miss you"

I giggled softly, "But I'm right here"

"I know, but I know you're going to leave me soon" He sighed

Touching his bare chest, he instantly grabbed my hands. He removed them and got out the bed.

"What's wrong?" I asked. He simply ignored me, "Orlyndo"

"Nothing"

"Tell me" I urged

"It's nothing, so drop it" He said sternly, pacing around the room

"D-Do you have nightmares?" I questioned him, "Or have a fear of being alone?"

"No" His eye twitched, trying to calm down

"If you do, you can tell me-"

"Karma" He seethed

"- because I'm here for you. I'm not-"

"Shut the fuck up, dammit!" He exclaimed

I jumbled myself up with the big white comforter, mousing a quick apology. He went back and forth around the room, snarling curse word after curse word. His anger only got worse every time he tried to fight it off.

"I'm sorry, okay?" He said, "I'm sorry"

I nodded, staring at my feet that moved under my covers. The bed dipped down and the lamp turned off. Looking over, Orlyndo covered his head with a pillow.

He tossed and turned, throwing the pillow off the bed- I guess he was hot. His eyes were now puppy eyes as his arm went over my upper body. The side of his face was on top of my breasts, our eyes piercing at one another- I looked down at him, he stared up at me.

"Hold me, please" He spoke quietly

"Okay" I traced small random shapes on his back

Orlyndo's lips pecked my right breast up to the center of my neck. Then, his insecurities got the best of him.

"I apologize that I'm such a fuck up, Karma"
