Waking up my chest felt heavy, looking down I saw Sunny curled up sleeping soundly against me. The events of yesterday flashed into my head and I scrambled for my phone. Layla had sent me a text, I felt a rush of adrenaline both needing to open it and terrified by what it might say. I opened the message and read it slowly.
Everything is okay Ben, Al had a heart attack but the doctors say he's doing well now.
They want to keep him in for a few days but the doctors say he should recover fine.
Please look after your brothers until I get back later and thank Daisy for all her help.
I'll see you later tonight we love you x
Layla
I let out a huge sigh of relief, my hands were shaking as I put down my phone. Al was going to be fine, I was terrified he was going to die after already losing my mom I couldn't take it. My heavy breathing roused Sunny and she murdered in her sleep. I calmed myself straight away and stroked her head until she settled back into her sleep. Looking down at her I smiled tenderly. Her delicate breathing through her slightly parted lips. She had stayed with me all night, holding me tightly to her not letting me feel alone for even a moment. When she woke up I would tell her that everything was okay but for now I wanted to keep this image of her all to myself.
Seeing her in my T-shirt as it scrunched around her small curved frame made me stare at how attractive I thought she was. Now the worry about Al had mostly subsided I couldn't help but notice Sunny pressed up against me. I started to feel unusual nerves and my body started to feel warm. I slid off my T-shirt and tried to slide myself from beneath her. Scooping her arm around me to stop me from moving, she nestled further into my bare chest. She giggled dreamily in her sleep as she nuzzled her face into my skin. I was trapped beneath her completely at her mercy, of which she had no idea.
I resigned myself to my delightful fate and stroked the back of her head and back. I closed my eyes closed my eyes and relaxed, I was almost asleep again until I heard her gently murmurs as she woke up. Looking up at me with big sleepy doe eyes. Her cheeks flushed pink as she looked down at my chest. Quickly she dropped her head and looked away. I swooped my hand under her chin to bring it back up to look at me. She blushed harder as she slid her hand up to my chest.
"Good morning sunshine", I whispered as I kissed her softly. Her eyes darted from my eyes to my exposed skin and words were almost forming on her lips. She rubbed her eyes sleepily with the back of her hand.
"Good morning", she yawned, "did you hear anything yet", a worried look consumed her face. I nodded picking up my phone. I handed it to her so she could read the message herself. A giant sigh of relief poured from her and she collapsed her face back into my chest. I put my phone back on the table and wrapped my arms around her back.
"Thank goodness he's okay", she sighed into me, I could feel her lips moving on my skin as she spoke and I bit my lip down to calm myself. She sprung herself up to face me and with an eyebrow raised looked ready to question me.
"Thank you for staying with me all night, holding you was what I needed", I smiled waiting for her to ask her burning question.
"I'll always be close when you need me, but", she trailed off looking at me expectantly. I started to squirm inside not knowing where she was going with this.
"But?", I said innocently a look of confusion in reply.
"But… when exactly did you take your shirt off?", she poked my chest with her finger which made me flinch from surprise. My cheeks burned red, I didn't expect her to ask me about it ouright like this.
"Oh well I got too warm this morning so I took it off", I said honestly, well mostly. "Sorry I'll put it back on, I don't want to make you feel weird", I was feeling more self conscious with her eyes drifting all over my exposed skin. I started to reach out for my T-shirt I had dropped by my bed. She pulled my arm back and shook her head. I paused for second waiting for her to explain.
"I don't feel weird!", she blurted out her cheeks dusty pink again. "I'll admit I was surprised when I woke up, but I actually sort of don't not like it", she looked away in an instant as the words left her mouth. I chuckled shallowly to myself at her admitting she liked the way I looked, in an adorably round about way. He eyes slowly drifted back to mine, I raised my eyebrow playfully as she bit her bottom lip.
"Well then, I guess I should also confess I don't not love seeing you in my T-shirt", I leaned back against my headboard a rested both my hands behind my head. I looked up and down her as she perched between my legs almost scrunching up from embarrassment. She was also looking at me all over. Her eyes trailed up and down my stomach and chest, back and forth across my arms.
"You look really strong", she said scooting herself closer reaching out her hand towards my chest. "But I bet you're also…", she stopped herself short as I leaned in excited to hear the rest. She trailed her fingers down my chest to sides of my waist. I couldn't breath as they glided a across my skin.
"Ticklish!", she roared as she began tickiling my sides. I burst out with laughter as she attacked me mercilessly.
"Ah ha Sunny ha please, ha I give ha I give!", I kicked my feet as tried to speak though the barrage of laughter. She did not relent and smiled devilishly as she continued.
"I'll stop when you agree to my demands!", she laughed manically and she continued her onslaught of tickles.
"Anything ah ha anything you want ah ha", I cried as she looked over me with delight.
"First I want to keep this T-shirt, second I want a movie night once a week and last I want you to say 'I am Sunny's servant, I will fulfil her every desire'", she proclaimed triumphantly, never relenting in her tickle madness.
"Ah ha ah the shirt is yours ah it looks better on you anyways ha", I pause gasping for breath," ha movie nights Ah of course!", I gasped again hardly able to catch my breath. "Please ha I need ah to breath to ha say the last ha part ha", I cried with heaving breaths and laughter. She stopped her tickling and folded her arms in anticipation. I took in a long big breath and rested my hands on her hips.
"I Sweet am Sunny's servant and will always fulfil her every desire", I panted as I collapsed onto my back. She grinned with a cheeky smirk at her victory. Pulling myself up into clumped position resting on my elbows. "So ?…", I goaded her eager for a task. She looked puzzled by question.
"So what does your heart desire?", she flushed red for a moment I can only imagine what she was thinking just now.
"I actually don't need anything right now", she giggled covering her mouth almost as if keeping words from escaping. Sat up completely bringing myself to her, leaving almost no space between us.
"Okay you don't need anything, but do you want anything", I whispered to her, as her eyes flicked down to my bare skin and back up again. She pinched her lips in tightly to hold back her thoughts.
"Suppose I do want…", her stomach grumbled loudly as a look of horror filled her face.
"Breakfast, you must be starving", she nodded rather embarrassed, I took her cheek in my hand and kissed her deeply. I held my lips to hers for as long as I could savouring every last second. Jumping out of bed I threw on my T-shirt to which she looked almost disappointed. I winked at her which made her look away as if I had caught her in the act of admiring me.
"Stay right where you are, I will be back in no time", I gestured to her as I saw her inching her way to the side of my bed.
