Chapter 93
"I had a nightmare. We were in the middle of a circle of fire, then... There was this creepy voice calling my name and... And then you disappeared, and then I was in a river and Blake was pulling me from below the water's surface and then I couldn't find you and–"
"Hush. It's okay. I am not going anywhere. I'll stay awake with you if you don't want to go back to sleep," he coos.
My heart is still pounding like crazy against my chest, like a prisoner beging to be released.
"Try to calm down, I can feel your pulse... Take deep breaths, slowly," he instructs and I nod. Soon enough my heart is beating normally.
"I'm sweaty," I say, lifting my head off his chest.
"I don't mind. I sweat all the time too, Kyrah, we're humans," he coos and then he pulls me back to my previous position.
I sigh and lift my head to look at him. His gunmetal blue eyes stare back. His arms feel good around me and I feel safer than ever.
"You," I manage to say.
"What?" he asks, puzzled.
"You... I thought of you and my wheezing stopped. You make me happy, Scott."
A sweet smile curves on his face and I can tell that my words have made him more than just happy.
"You make me happy too," he coos and plants a warm kiss on my forehead and it sends a tingly sensation all over me. My eyes are on him and his are on mine.
Silence.
Knock! Knock!
Someone's at the door. Scott releases me gently and walks out of the bed, adjusts his t-shirt and opens the door. Roxy walks in, she's wearing a large t-shirt I haven't seen her with before. So I fill in the gap and assume it's Kye's.
"Kyrah, I heard you struggling to breathe, all the way across the hall, are you okay?" she looks terrified. Also, is she always that alert?
"Yeah. Scott made me better." My words puzzle her and so she shakes her head and blinks twice very fast.
"Uhm... Okay. I was just worried. Glad Scott helped. Thanks," she tells Scott.
"She had a nightmare," Scott says from the door where he's leaning on the wall.
"Sorry, babe," Roxy tells me and I give her a small smile.
"I'm okay now. You can go back to sleep," I say and she nods and leaves.
Scott locks the door and returns to bed.
"You can go back to sleep if you wish," I say but he refuses to.
"Let's find something to watch on my laptop," he says and grabs the laptop from the nightstand.

Scott's POV
She's holding on to me very tightly as we watch Guardians of the Galaxy. She keeps stealing glances at me after every minute and so do I.
I can't believe she said that I make her happy. Atleast now I know I mean something to her. That's one step forward.
After a few minutes into the movie, she begins yawning and I can't help but look at her beautiful mouth. I want to kiss her but I doubt this would be a perfect time to do that. She's going through a lot and I don't want to complicate things for her, plus I respect her so much.
"I think you should go to sleep now," I say. Her eyes are droopy and she keeps rubbing them.
"But we haven't finished watching the movie yet," she mumbles when talking to me and I chuckle.
"Kyrah, come on, you have to get some sleep." She pouts when I look at her and now she has these cute puppy eyes that stir up something deep within me.
"I'm scared that I'll have another nightmare."
"I can't guarantee you that you won't, but trust me, I'll be right by your side if you do," I assure her and she bites her lower lip and I swallow hard. Damn! Even her simplest gesture turns me on.
She's shying away I can tell.
"What's on your mind?" I ask and she looks away, tucking strands of hair behind her ears.
"Uhm... It's nothing, let's just go to sleep," she says and lifts her head from my chest.
"Come on, just tell me what it is," I beg.
"Would you... Uhm... God! this is crazy," she says and I keep my eyes on her. "Would you... Cuddle with me?" she bites her lower lip again.
Hot damn!
I thought she'd never ask. Her statement makes me feel like I just flew to planet Mars. My inner voice goes "Yes! Yes! Fucking yes!" but on the other hand, my mouth goes:
"I'd be glad to." And my arms go wide, as I hug her and she sighs.
We're actually spooning and I pray to God I don't get a boner right now, because I wouldn't want to embarrass myself like that.
On the bed, she pulls one of my arms across to her tummy and she holds on to it.
"Come closer, please?" she asks, facing the other side and I don't waste even a damn second. I want her so badly. I want to kiss her neck and give her a hickie!
I chuckle at my own thoughts.
"What?" she asks.
"Nothing," I lie and switch off the lights.
