“One, why?”
He pulls back my duvet and grabs my spare pillows. Lifting me into the middle of the bed, he lies me down, placing one pillow on either side of me. The third pillow he places at the bottom of the bed, elevating my ankle.
“What are you doing?”
“Making you a princess bed. Once you sleep like this, you’ll never sleep any other way again.” He smiles, then winks. “Well, not when you’re alone anyway.” He quickly covers me with the duvet and tucks me in - literally tucks me in - and strokes a strand of hair back from my forehead.
“I’ll see you tomorrow. Rest,” he tells me, turning to leave.
“What, no goodnight kiss?” I ask cheekily.
He stops and spins back to face me. He leans over the bed and presses his mouth to mine. His kiss is everything I would expect from this assertive leader; it’s demanding, devouring and leaves me breathless. He deepens the kiss, his tongue demanding entrance into my mouth and dancing with mine. His passion is bruising, but I love it.
I try to loop my arms around his neck, but he pins them above my head without breaking from his kiss. I whimper, and wetness floods his sweats that I’m wearing. I don’t want him to stop. I don’t want him to leave.
Abruptly, he pulls away, panting hard like me, and flicks off the light. I feel bereft. “Sleep Raven. I’ll see you in the morning.”
I swear I’m asleep before I even hear the door close.
Lizzie’s Letter
Hey sis,
I bet you heard from mum and dad that Headmistress Archer called to say I had an accident. I’m fine - I really am! I just had a little ‘help’ falling down the stairs and broke my ankle. You can’t say anything to mum and dad - I’m invoking twin code on that one!
It’s fine. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see who did it. I mean, the stairs were pretty busy between lesson changeover, so it was probably an accident anyway, and it’s just a coincidence that Lexxi was there and laughing. There was no lasting damage done. Broken bones heal pretty quickly, and I didn’t even need a cast. I’m just wearing a space boot so I’m still able to swim and that’s pretty much all I care about! It’s actually pretty good therapy for my ankle anyway.
Thank goodness I’m thinking of joining the choir and not the cheer team!
I’m really really excited for choir auditions after Halloween. It’s still a few weeks away yet, but I need to perfect my audition piece. What do you think I should sing? I don’t even have a shortlist at this point. I’m just drawing a blank. Help!
I’ve already noticed in my music lessons that there’s some pretty steep competition. I’m not looking to win a solo at the winter concert or anything (really hope you can come to that?!), but I’d really love a spot in the choir.
Trust me, these girls are a whole other world of crazy competitiveness. I’d rather stay out of all that. A small spot at the back that lets me do what I love is more than enough for me.
Even the stars in the sky that you don’t see are still shining.
I love you sis. Youare still being good, right?
Your Busy Lizzie x
