"I was looking all over for you day and night. I couldn't manage to sleep knowing that you're out there all alone." He said as the butterflies in my stomach started moving around.

"But I'm here now." I said as my cheeks blushed.

"It's a habit. I can't see myself asleep anymore."

"Then sleep next to me." I said as I facepalmed myself, "I mean if you want to." I added. What the fuck did I just say???

"If I did I won't sleep."

"Try. You won't lose anything." I said as he nodded.

"I'll go change." He said as he left my room.

I made the bed ready as I waited for him to come back, this is going to be so awkward.

He came back dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt.

"Is it okay if I sleep without a shirt?" He asked.

"Yeah I don't mind." I said as I removed the blanket so I could lay on the bed. He removed his shirt which made me regret what I said, fuck he's hot.

I turned off the lights when Nathan made himself comfortable in my bed.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah. But I promise you that I won't sleep." He said. I was so far away from him.

"Come closer, it's okay. You're about to fall off the bed." I said. Wow I grew bold.

"Okay." He said as he came closer, "now close your eyes and dream about something you love." I said.

"I don't love anything." He stated.

"Just close your damn eyes!!" I said as he huffed.

"Okay!!" He said as he closed his eyes I can still see his beautiful features in the dark.

I started singing for him, but then he stopped me and said, "what the hell are you doing?"

"Uhh singing, my mom used to sing this song for me when I couldn't sleep while playing with my hair." I said.

"Ohh that's nice." He said, "Can I??" I asked.

"Can you what??"

"Play with your hair??" I asked as I bit my bottom lip.

"Yeah okay." He said as I moved closer to him.

I slowly placed my hand on his hair and started massaging his scalp. He moaned a little which made me smile then he said "please don't stop."

"I won't." I said as he smiled.

I started singing for him as I massaged his scalp, after 30 minutes which was a very long time my hands became sore. He finally slept.

His bare chest was moving slowly as he breathed, and I could hear his faint snores.

I slowly removed my hands from his hair and tried to move away, but his legs where tangling mine.
