Chapter 5 - Scoot over

"Sweet heavens, Does it kill you to be polite? On second thought, I guess that would kill you."

He paused for a while with a bit of a complicated look on his face. It faded soon after.

"Can we just sleep? I am tired."

"Suit yourself. I'll head to bed then, Good night." I left for the bedroom, got changed into my nightwear, to be more accurate, stripped to my underwear and slid into bed. My room had two light switches. One on the door and the other beside the bed. I loved the efficiency of it. Soon as I turned the lights off they turned on again.

"Hogging the bed are we. Scoot over." He stood there with a large shirt, That was maybe one of mine. Don't be quick to judge. He had probably just taken a quick shower.

"What the hell? Ain't gonna." I knew I had a complicated look on my face but that was not important now. I had to protect myself first.

"Don't be mean, or are you being a sissy now." He knew how to get me, and was good at that. If I kept protesting it would mean I had agreed to the statement, but I couldn't outright refute what he had said.

With no words of retaliation, he won the battle.

I moved over a little since I was practically at the end anyways. The bed was king size so it didn't matter if I did or not.

"Take a blanket from the drawer." There was no response so I assumed he did it. I turned to the opposite side and closed my eyes.

The light turned off. I could feel him getting on the bed with the enhanced senses now on due to darkness. I was stiffened when he lifted the blanket I was using. He slid slowly and brushed my ankle a little. I was at a loss for having this sensitivity towards him.

"Goodnight, Jade." I felt a shiver run down my spine then up. What was up with that overly soft voice.

I don't think I will sleep well tonight.

Is what I thought. Not long after Thick arms slid through my waist. Enclosing me from escaping. His body pressed against mine making there be no boundaries. His head buried into the nape of my neck. I was struck down. I mean, Who wouldn't be shocked by that?

"Caleb.. You awake…ah..good night." I wrapped my hands around his. I wasn't all glad with the situation but I couldn't ignore it either. I drifted into sleep with thought spinning in my mind. I ended up with a conclusion that he only needed comfort. He was tough but he probably had his weaknesses. I as his only friend had to know that. He never showed his real self to me. I just got to know him for all he was. Either real or fake. That was my role as his friend.
