Maisy

End of Flashback

I heard footsteps approaching so I wiped away my tears and returned back into the bed.

He unlocked the door and came in tiptoeing which proved further that he had something to hide. I pretended to be fast asleep while he quietly shut the door and came to the bed.

I didn't feel his weight on the bed so I squinted my eyes to see what he was doing. I turned to his side.

I saw him pick up his pillows and dropped them to the ground. He intended to sleep there. I couldn't keep pretending, I had to know why.

"What are you doing?" I queried.

My question got him worked up and he was hit with a surprise.

"You're awake." He said, changing the topic.

He slyly took the pillow off the floor and dumped them close to me.

"Yes, Eric. What is going on?"

"What do you mean?" He countered, playing dumb.

"I'm not stupid." I replied with an attitude, "Apart from the fact that you are acting strange and secretive. We haven't had our first night."
