The truth would have been more along the lines of “Hey princess, I couldn’t think of anything, but your sexy body all night and I've got a raging hard on, which by the way I would love you to help me out with.” God I was sick.
“Oh, yeah I’m sorry.” She blushed and bit on that pouty bottom lip, knotting her fingers in the hem of the shirt, pulling it down. Her nipples pushed against the material. I closed my eyes…Yep, she was definitely braless under that. “My pajamas are in the wash and I don’t have a spare pair. I didn’t think you would mind. I’ll take it off if you want?”
Sweet Jesus she was killing me. “No keep it,” I croaked. It nearly killed me to tell her leave it on, it went against my nature. She stepped aside and gestured me in. Hallelujah. I followed her in and closed the door behind us and locked it.
“So what’s up? Why aren’t you partying?” She strolled over to the bed and I could see cheek. Oh, sweet fuck. She was commando. No bra, no panties…
“Huh?” I asked as she settled back under the covers.
“I asked why you weren’t downstairs enjoying the party.”
Think Kyle think…
“Uh, I got bored.”
Stupid Kyle stupid.
“Okay…” She looked confused. I didn’t blame her; I was confused myself.
“And my room is, uh occupied.” Well, that made me sound a little less creepy, but it was a bullshit excuse. No one would dare use my room.
But Lee seemed to be mollified. She smiled at me, her eyes full of knowing sympathy. “Well, you can stay here if you want. I was just about to watch a movie, if you want to join me?” Oh, fuck yeah.
“What movie are you watching princess?” I asked, pulling my shirt over my head and climbing out of my jeans. I guessed we were avoiding the whole shower incident speech, which was fine by me. I had enough regrets about that to last a lifetime. Lee’s cheeks reddened when I stepped out of my jeans. Christ you’d swear she had never seen a man in his boxers before, which was crap because Derek and I always walked around half naked, hell even Cam walked around half naked. We were like a house of nudists.
Lee cleared her throat and flicked off the lamp on the locker beside her. “Uh Twilight,” she mumbled as she pulled the covers up to her chin. “It’s Cams. It was the only one I could find, but we can watch something else if you’d prefer?”
The only light in the room was coming from the television screen, but I swear I could see her blush again. “No, that’s cool. I can cope with a little vampire action, so long as you don’t go all team Edward on me.” I climbed in beside her, pulling the covers around my waist. Our legs brushed and she shivered.
“Team Edward?” She looked confused.
“You’re eighteen, right? Girls your age usually go bat shit crazy for the vampire in this movie.”
She pressed play on the remote. “Oh. I’ve never seen it before,” she replied, nestling down on her pillow.
“Every teenage girl has seen this film.”
She shrugged. “I guess it’s like you said, I’m not like other girls.”
The intro started and I settled down beside her. I leaned over and kissed the top of her head. “No princess, you’re definitely not.”
Kyle
My eyes were wide open. I couldn’t go back to sleep. I looked down at Lee nestled into my chest. I glanced over at the clock on her locker, 03.30 it read out in blood read digits.
I hadn’t realized Lee had nightmares; she had never said anything…But judging from the way her body had shook-and the gut wrenching cries that had come from her throat-they were violent ones. She snuggled up to me. She was close, too fucking close, but the closer she was to me, the more her body relaxed.
Her shirt had ridden up her body during the night and her naked ass was now pressing against my junk. I was a saint because I doubted there was another guy on the planet that could just lay with this girl and not touch her… Well, that’s not technically true. I was touching her, just not in all the ways I wanted to. I’d wrapped my arms around her when I woke and held her tightly. That had helped and I was still holding her just as tightly.
I must have kissed her hair a hundred times when she was crying.
Jesus she had scared the shit out of me. What had she dreamed about that would terrify her like that? I had never heard any sound so gut wrenching.
However, the distressed cries that had come from her earlier, had changed to soft moans. She was dreaming of something else entirely now. Her head nestled in the crook of my arm as she grinded her ass against me. In her sleep.
Fuck my life.
