Roommates

29. Sofira

Honestly I wasnt mad at Dylan for getting drunk. It was his life after all, sure I was a little miffed he broke one of my precious rules but he was a harmless drunk, I wasn't afraid of him. The last few days had been a roller coaster. Meeting his ex at the mall, dealing with a drunk yet cute Dylan and then witnessing the fight with his ex best friend. I was drained and had needed some time to myself to get myself back together emotionally. Especially seeing Dylan fight. Oh how I hated violence, it upset me yet I wasn't afraid of him...I was more upset that he hurt his knuckles again. Gosh then we had slept together again, of course we hadn't done anything besides cuddling but I blushed from the thought. He cared about me. I didn't want him to know I had nightmares but oddly enough I wasn't that embarrassed that he had found out. Hopefully it wouldn't happen again though, I didn't want to burden him like that.

When he offered to move out I was shocked for a few seconds. I was also touched that he took me seriously and even offered to move out in the first place.

"No, it's fine Dylan. I'm not afraid of you when you're drunk, honestly you were kinda cute."

'What the hell Sofira??'

Dylan scoffed before replying. "Whatever firehead, I'm not as cute as you though." He smirked before thinking to himself for a second, the playfulness was gone.

"Are you...are you afraid of me in general? I know I upset you yesterday at the gym."

I flushed at the question. "No Dylan, I know you won't hurt me."

'Not physically anyways. What the hell?? He's not going to break my heart since we aren't going to date. Stupid Sofira!'

"Really?"

"Yes Dylan, I trust you." I smiled and blushed slightly.

"Okay." He gazed at me with a relieved smile. "I'm glad you do redhead, afterall we live together." He chuckled softly before smirking and adding, "and slept together."

I felt the deep blush colour my cheeks. "Whatever Dylan! It wasn't like that!"

"I know." He laughed and pinched my nose.

I swatted at his hand.

"I'm just teasing." He laughed. "You have the cutest blush firehead."

I blushed more and rolled my eyes."Whatever." I giggled.

We stared at each other for a few seconds which felt like minutes. I guess we were having 'a moment.'

Our lips got closer together and I felt my heart rate pick up more than it already had before I dropped my head to his chest shyly.

I heard him chuckle before he gently held my head and kissed my forehead.

Butterflies exploded in my belly and I grew more flustered. Before I knew what I was doing my arms were wrapped around him and my head was tucked under his chin. I felt him stiffen slightly from shock before hugging me back, showing no intention of letting me go anytime soon. I let out a soft mewl as he scooped me up in his arms and moved towards the couch.

I grew a tad nervous and sensing it I felt him smile as he held me gently on his lap, my head resting in the crook of his neck. "Relax redhead, is is it okay if I hold you for a bit? This is therapeutic as fuck."

I couldn't help but giggle at that. "mhm." I nodded slightly before he pressed his lips to my forehead again, sending the butterflies into a fluttering frenzy.

We sat in comfortable silence for what felt like hours. It was heaven.

"Dylan?"

"Yes ba- redhead?"
