By end of the day, I was so tired I actually dragged my feet from the bathroom to my door. I opened it lazily, and I saw Lucas in my bed. Under the covers.
“What are you doing?” I whisper shouted while I closed the door as fast as I could.
“Relax,” he chuckled and removed the blanket. “I’m fully clothed.”
He was wearing grey sweatpants but he was naked from the waist up. I glanced at his bare chest, and my pulse quickened.
“Do you know what fully clothed means? If your father catches you here, we will have a problem.”
“All important parts are covered,” he smirked. “And what would that problem be? You’re going home in two weeks. He’s not going to rat us out now.”
I was still standing by the door, as if I was waiting for someone to come in and catch us, and I wanted to be as far away as possible from the bed. Lucas cocked his head sideways. I bet he was trying to guess what I was thinking.
“To answer your question, I’m sleeping here tonight. As I intend on doing every night from now on.”
I tried with everything I had in me not to smile at him, but I failed.
“I don’t remember inviting you in my bed.”
“I don’t see you removing me from it either.”
I went to the bed and stood in front of him. I wanted him to stay. More than anything.
“It’s not about sex,” he started. “I just…Last night was…You fell asleep on my shoulder and I…”
Lucas Cole was trying to say a coherent sentence and he was failing. That was a first. Since he had already helped me multiple times with clearing my own thoughts and formulating them for me, I decided it was a good time to return the favor.
“I liked sleeping with you too.”
He smiled and tapped the other side of the bed. I turned the light off, laid next to him, and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath. Everything felt so right.
“Does it feel normal to you too?” I asked.
“Yes,” he answered and I wasn’t at all surprised he knew what I was thinking. He always knew. “I’m kind off pissed about it though.”
I shot him a surprised look. He laughed.
“I could have slept in your bed for three months, and now I only have two weeks.”
It was sweet and, at the same time, a rude thing to say. He put an expiration date on us. Not that I could blame him about it. I worked pretty hard to fuck everything up between us.
“What will you do if I give you a tee with my number?” he asked suddenly.
The first time he asked me that, we were barely talking to each other. We were in a different place now. But I decided to give him the same answer anyway.
“I’ll burn it,” I whispered and smiled. He chuckled.
“Liar.”
We turned to face each other and just laid there. He reached and played with the neck line of Tyler’s tee.
“Can I take this off?” he asked. His eyes were burning mine. I swallowed hard and nodded. He shifted, and my body followed his. We sat up, and a second later I was shirtless.
I thought that he would get all over me, but he just looked at me for a moment, then laid back down on the bed, dragged me into his arms, and pressed my back to his chest.
“Go to sleep.”
