Chapter 32: Clarify the "sleep with him."

I woke up to the sound of our neighbour's barking dog. The rays of early sunshine penetrated the room through my half open curtain which was used to cover the window. I made an effort to roll and move my body on the bed so I could gather some strength to get off the bed. But I noticed with my eyes half-closed that my leg was intertwined with someones'. Trying very hard not to panic, I closed my eyes and tried to remember if I shared my bed with someone.
My whole body system still felt weak because of last night's fight with the rogue wolves but I forced myself to fully open my eyes and stared at the person who was on my bed. I let out a sound of shock when I saw her. Amelia? what the fuck!
Then it hit me, I suddenly remembered everything that happened last night. She was still asleep, covered in the bed's expensive blanket. I looked at her short blonde hair and contemplated if I should push away her legs from mine like Luca was growing at me to do at this moment.
I immediately raised the pillow I use to sleep and wanted to put it under Amelia's legs after removing mine from it. But the door suddenly opened ajar and I froze in place. My left hand was on top of Amelia's leg and the other was holding the pillow. Mom stood at the door with her mouth wide open and an evidence of amazement in her face.
*Did she plan all these or what?* I thought.
"Did you guys…"
"Good morning, mother." I interrupted her before she could finish what I knew she wanted to say. She didn't look like a person willing to answer me. Her expression was only filled with happiness and a touch of fulfilment. And for a moment, I wondered if she heard me greet her.
I got up from the bed with anger and frustration, knowing fully well that mom might never believe me if I tried to convince her that nothing happened between me and Amelia. I should have sent her back the moment I checked and saw it was her last night, but now it was too late and mum looked very much like a person who had won a billion dollar prize.
I stared back at the bed and saw that she was still asleep. Her short hair covered a little space in the bed and she was smiling in her sleep. *"God knows she's just faking her sleep."* Luca said.
"I'll excuse you guys," Mom remarked with a smug smile on her face, "Make sure to get ready for work, Lucian."
"Wait!" I exclaimed in a tone that surprised me. I wanted mom to have a clear understanding of what happened because I knew exactly what she wanted to do. *She's probably trying to make me and Amelia really close so we can get in a relationship and she'll have grandchildren.* But I'm never going to let that happen if that was what she was planning, she was totally not my type. I've never been in a relationship but if I wanted to, I prefer for the girl to be tough and harsh, and I will never be comfortable if a girl likes me first.
I gently hit Amelia on her back so she could wake up. Luca let out a growl when my hand touched her back. She still didn't stir or turn. Don't tell me she's enjoying all of this!
I suddenly lost my patience and hit her back harder than before, a gasp escaped from mom's mouth as she opened her mouth in horror like she was the one who got slapped. Amelia suddenly jumped off the bed after my hands touched her for the second time. The way her eyes looked convinced me that she had woken up for a long time and maybe even before I hit her the first time, she definitely wanted my mother to continue thinking that we did… things.
"It's day break already," I said, "You can go to your room now."
I turned to look at mom after I said it and her expression showed that she barely understood what was going on.
Amelia's face was expressionless, she looked more beautiful with her blonde hair at day than she did last night. Luca growled again when I thought of it, why does it sound like he's jealous?
Amelia got off the bed and strode carefully to mom without saying anything to me. I froze in place when I saw what she was wearing. I didn't see her dress yesterday since it was dark and I wasn't in my right mind to use my night-gazing senses. She was only wearing a big polo shirt which stretched on her knees and I know without anybody telling me that she was wearing just underwear under the shirt. *What was her mission?* I gritted my teeth in anger as I thought of it. She was making me hate her with every single thing she did. I am now very convinced that with what she is wearing, mom will never believe we didn't do anything.
"Good morning Mrs Andrew." She greeted mom with a smile.
"Good morning daughter!" Mom replied with twice as much sound and happiness. "I did remember telling Lucian to show you to your room, and you already knew the room since your stuff is there. But I'm surprised with the…"
"Mom!" I exclaimed before the situation got out of hand. "I've got work to do, you both can leave now."
Mom nodded with the smile still evident on her face and held Amelia's hands and started walking to the door.
"Amelia!" I called her name for the first time. "Make it clear to my mother why you're here, right in my presence!"
She froze still when she heard my voice, turning her back to the door and facing me. "Why I'm…here?" She stammered.
I nodded my reply and watched as her gaze moved from me to mom. "I had a terrible nightmare, so I came and asked that I sleep with… him."
"Clarify the "sleep with him." I suddenly blurted out without thinking.
Mom had a dumbfounded look on her face and Amelias' was like she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her at that moment.
"I came to ask that I share his room with him and we didn't do anything naughty." She replied and started to pick her nails with a blush on her cheeks.
"That's just okay. Now you both can leave."
"...."
