Touch Me

Rose Tint My World

I awoke in Kevin's arms, on the couch. I guess we had fallen asleep.

I looked up at him. He was still completely out. I put my head back down on his chest, closing my eyes again. He was very warm, keeping me comfortable in the unheated house. I don't know what time it is, but it looks dark out. I'm not sure how Kevin's mother doesn't get worried about him when he's gone. She probably does, but just trusts that he makes good decisions. He does seem to. I've never seen him make a bad one. He thinks everything through before he does it.

"Kev?" I whispered

"Hmmm?" He groaned drowsily

"Does your mom know where you are?"

"Shit, no she doesn't... mm.. Can I borrow your phone?"

I nodded and handed him my phone, still laying on top of him.

He dialed his mother's number, before speaking quietly when she answered

"Hey, mom did I wake you?"

I couldn't hear her reply

"Okay, well I fell asleep at Connor's place, I'm really sorry I forgot to tell you... yeah. Yeah, everything's alright. Just lost track of time and fell asleep.. Alright. Goodnight. I love you too." He hung up the phone.

"How's your mother?"

"She's good. She's glad to know where I am."

"I bet"

"Yeah.." He yawned

"Go back to sleep, Kev, alright?"

He nodded and laid back down, pulling me closer to him.

"Do you need a blanket or anything, Sunshine?" He asked, groggily.

"Nah, I'm okay."

"You sure? It's cold."

"No, I'm fine."

He sat up and pulled his jacket off and draped it over the both of us, laying his head back down

"Thank you..."

He closed his eyes once more, already starting to fall back asleep. I could hear his heartbeat from where I was, on his chest. I fell asleep quickly, to the rhythm of his heart.

I woke up to Kevin shaking me

"Connor!"

I shot up with a sharp inhale, startled awake

"Connor, What's wrong?"

"What..?"

"You were thrashing.. and muttering.."

"Oh..  I-I'm sorry I woke you..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing.."

"Were you having a nightmare?"

"It's nothing.. it happens all the time.."

"What was it about?"

"I-I don't really wanna talk about it.. if that's okay.."

"... Are you okay?"

"Yeah... fine, thanks."

"Okay.. Do you wanna go back to sleep?"

"No... Definitely not."

"Do you want some coffee or anything, then?"

"I wish. We don't have any."

"I can grab you some.."

"No, I'm fine. Thank you, though."
