Here's a new chapter, enjoy :)
*************************
She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. I'm holding her in my arms tightly as the sunlight hits her skin gently. Her eyes are shut and her lips slightly apart. I kiss her forehead lightly and I keep on taking in her sight, her every feature. Suddenly she opens her eyes and looks at me in surprise.
"You look surprised to see me," I whisper.
She looks at me, and around the room, and back at me again. Her eyes are scanning my face and a small smile appears on her beautiful lips.
"I thought you wouldn't be here when I'd wake up," she admits.
It hurts me to know she thinks that way of me, but at the same time I know she's right. I told her things last night that I had never planned on telling her. I showed her just how vulnerable I am; just how broken I am. Truth being, when I woke up my first instinct was to run back to my room, but then I looked at her and the feelings that I felt from last night's kiss came rushing back into my mind and suddenly I couldn't leave.
"I wanted to, for a second," I say. "But then everything from last night came back to my mind and I didn't want to be the stupid guy who always run away and apologizes... I wanted to be the guy who stays," I whisper.
The wildest smile ever appears on her lips and she pushes her body even closer to mine as she snuggles into my chest. I wrap my arms tighter around her small frame.
"I don't need you to talk about last night, but I was wondering if you had anyone to spend Christmas with..." she trails off unsurely.
"I don't, except for a party with Nick's family for New year's eve."
She looks up at me and kisses my cheek.
"Nick is coming with Aubrey and me to spend Christmas with our families before Aubrey and him go back to his town for the party you're talking about with his family. You're welcome to our families' celebrations," she suggests.
A sudden burst of happiness and warmth make his way to my heart and I smile widely.
"I would like to be there, but only if you come along with us to Nick's town. I'll be there, and from what you're telling me, Aubrey will be there too, so if you come along I won't be a third wheel," I answer her.
"You basically just want me to come so I save you from them and their flirtiest ways," she laughs.
"For that, but mainly for this," I whisper as I kiss her.
She seems surprised by my action because she doesn't kiss me back. I look at her quizzically, but she's still in shock.
"I-I'm sorry," I stutter.
"Don't be, I just wasn't expecting you to kiss me," she says.
"Now that you are expecting me to kiss you, can we try again?" I smirk.
"I'd like to," she whispers.
And before she can say another word my lips are on hers, and my whole body is filled with pure happiness. Kissing her makes me feel so peaceful. I place my hand on her hips, and I make sure to kiss her gently and softly. I'm about to stop kissing her when she deepens the kiss and places my hand on her legs. They are bare, and warm, and her skin feels like silk. There is no place for peacefulness now as my whole body reacts to hers. She stops kissing me for a second, trying to catch her breath, but then she gets on me, straddling me, and she's kissing me again. My hands start to touch her everywhere, I'm unable to control them as they make their way under her shirt. Her hands are playing with the waistband of my boxer, and I can feel myself getting really turned on. My hands are right under her breast and I realize she's not wearing a bra. I stop moving my hands, unsure of what she wants.
"What's going on?" she murmurs in my ear.
"Can I go there?" I ask unsure.
I swear it's like I've never done this before, or like I'm a fourteen years old kid seeing boobs for the first time. She nods as a playful smirk appears on her lips and she takes my wrist.
"Tell me, where do you want your hand to be?" she asks seductively which makes me forget how to speak.
I groan loudly as she places my hand directly on her breast and starts kissing my neck. She knows what she's doing and she also knows it's working because she presses herself against my hard-on and slowly grinds on it.
"Fuck," I say in a husky voice.
Everything is perfect until I hear the door open and then it's complete silence. Both Isa and I freeze, waiting for something to happen.
"Nick!!! They are having sex in your bed," Aubrey yells before running away.
"Oh shit!" Isa exclaims and jumps off of me.
I internally curse as I'm left sexually frustrated.
"Please come back," I pout.
Isa shakes her head side-to-side as she puts on a pair of pajama pants.
"No way, they know exactly what we were up to," she blurts out.
"Wait... so you would have actually let it go all the way?" I smirk.
Her eyes widen as she realizes what she just implied and she hides her face with her hands. I get up from the bed and walk towards her. I take her hands off her face and smile down at her.
"I don't know..." she whispers.
I kiss her on her forehead before putting my pants back on.
"I'm only teasing you... I mean we are just friends, and friends don't do these things," I tell her.
I see a flash of pain in her eyes as she looks at me.
"Right... friends," she laughs bitterly.
"Well... maybe more than friends," I correct myself. "I don't exactly know what to call this... I never really had to do this before; labeling my relationships," I explain.
She nods understandingly.
"We don't have to label anything until you feel ready," she says softly.
She hugs me quickly before disappearing into her bathroom. I take it as a hint and I leave to go into my room. Without even having to think it through I take my unpacked suitcase and bring it back into Isa's room before getting dressed. Isa gets out of the bathroom at the same time I put my suitcase next to hers.
"I don't want to sleep alone tonight," I tell her.
"I guess it's our room now," she grins.
We head downstairs to be greeted by two pairs of eyes. Nick and Aubrey are both looking at us with wide grins and I can see a devilish sparkle in their eyes.
"Look who decided to finally grant us with their presence," Aubrey smiles mischievously.
"I think it's our horn-dogs of friends," Nick plays along.
"Well, I for sure recognize them," Aubrey answers back.
"But weren't they just friends?" Nick smirks looking straight at me.
"I seem to recall a definition along those lines," Aubrey says as she walks towards us.
"Enough!" Isa shouts. "You two are unbelievably perfect for each other; both annoying as hell," she glares at them playfully.
"Why don't you girls go relax? Nick and I will make breakfast," I change the subject.
"Wait what?" Nick says but I send him a glare. "Oh yeah, we'll make breakfast," he gives in.
They both leave the kitchen and we are left alone. I walk towards Nick and sigh.
"I'm in trouble," I let out.
"Indeed," he laughs.
"You don't understand, I told her personal things yesterday when I was drunk... I cried in her arms man," I groan.
"Shit... never saw you get so personal with anyone," he admits.
"I know! Do you want to know something even scarier? This morning, after Aubrey came and interrupted what we were doing, I went to my room and brought my belongings into Isa's room without even thinking about, as if it was just normal for us to share a room from now on," I grunt.
"I'm happy for you Will, if she can make you open up she's a freaking magician," he chuckles.
"I'm freaked out," I breathe out.
"I know how scary you find these things, and how you are deeply scared and hurt, but promise me you'll give it a try?" he asks me hopefully.
"I'll try..." I trail off.
"Good," he smiles and gives me a bro hug.
"One more thing, I'm coming with you guys for Christmas in Isa and Aubrey's families," I say.
"Oh shit, you really are committing," he smiles.
"Don't say that word around me; you'll make me freak out even more," I whisper.
We start makingbreakfast and I can hear Isa's voice coming from the living room. She's talkingin hushed tones with Aubrey which leads me to think she's talking about whathappened between us. A smile forms on my face as I picture her twinkling eyesand stunning smile. I'm in too deep, and I'm scared to death.
