Chap 14: Sleep

Ryan

I hugged her after the way I spoke, I didn't want to hurt or upset her. This was the last thing she needed from anyone. I held her with my eyes closed. I wanted to embrace her, protect her, give her happiness and a carefree environment.

"Ryan!" she tried to create a distance but I didn't let it happen

"Angel," I said and hoped she would let me hold her for a little longer,

"You need to let go," she said and I instantly cupped her face and gave a kiss on her forehead,

"I don't want to let you go," I said to her and her eyes went big, I instantly brought my lips close to her eyes and kissed each of her eyelids.

"I can't let you go," and I kissed both of her cheeks and looked at her again

"I will never let you go" I whispered and kissed her nose and chin. She had to know that I meant each and every word. I lifted her up in bridal style and walked towards the car.

"W..wwhhat are you doing!?" she said in a surprise,

"I am carrying you to the car" I said,

"Ryan it's down the hill we both will fall"

"I have got you, angel," I said and continued to walk,

"What?! Are you crazy?" she said while she kicked her legs

"I am going by the stairs," I said as I wanted to calm her

"Are you kidding me?" she said in a surprise and I just smiled at her. Ofcourse I didn't tell her there were staircase to the hill, I wanted to hike with her

"You are crazy,"

"You make me," I said. She didn't say anything and I continued to carry her. We reached the car and I put her down. I opened the car door for her and went to my side and sat in the passenger car.

"How much do you weight Angel," I asked while I pressed the right arm with my left hand

"What?" She looked at me and noticed my action

"Your weight Angel"

"You don't need to know, I never told you to lift me up" she said and felt embarrassed but it made me laugh. She looked upset but adorable. I immediately put my forefinger under her chin to make her look me in the eye.

"Yea you never did but I wanted to and I will continue to," I said. She had to know what I felt for her and I will also never let her go away from me. She is mine and I will fight for her and her love. I will make her realize what she has with Noah is not love.

Mia

It was around 1 am when we reached Chloe's house. Apparently the kisses and the bridal carry made me feel protected and care. He felt something for me and it was beyond friendship. I had never experienced anything with Noah as compared to what I felt with Ryan. I don't know why I felt this way, probably because Noah was my first ever boyfriend and Ryan was the first-ever man to make me feel special. Never in my life, I had a handsome man even look at me. Did Ryan love me or did he like me? Did I like Ryan? Should I leave Noah? Did I betray them both? What will happen if Ariel finds out? All these questions clouded my mind, made me restless and frustrated. I couldn't dare to look at Ryan and his big beautiful eyes throughout the drive, I felt I always disappointed him and no matter how much I tried to stay away we always got closer than the last time. After we reached our rooms I said goodbye to him and so did he. I closed the door of my room and changed into my nightdress, did my night routine, and made it to bed by 1:40. It was around 2:50 when I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and saw Ryan

"Yea?" my sleep went away the moment I saw his toned chest, six pack abs and a batman boxer

"Mia, can we talk?" he requested, it seemed he needed help

"what do you want to talk about?"

"Can you let me come in?" He asked balantly and it took me by surprise.

"No," I said my immediate response, how could I let a handsome half-naked man enter my room,

"No?" he was surprised,

"Yes, it's a no"

"Why?"

"Ryan it's 3"

"Please" he pleaded and I decided to let him in.

"Fine, come in" he came in and immediately shut the door.

"What is it?" I was irritated. I was already in a deep slumber and he knocked me off it with his amazing hot body and handsome face

"Bed bugs in the room and I can't sleep. So can I sleep here?" Whatever little sleep I had all vanished and my mind was all alert now.

"Are you out of your mind"

"Angel, I am telling you the truth. Trust me I don't want to sleep with you but I have no choice. There are bed bugs" he said and it seemed he told the truth, "So can I sleep here?" He asked and looked at me with hope. He didnt want to sleep with me? The statement punched my heart but I ignored the feeling. But he wanted me to say yes but I couldn't, I cannot sleep with him, not on the same bed.

"Fine but I can't sleep with you on the same bed so I will sleep on the floor"

"Are you crazy?"

"Then you sleep on the floor"'

"No, I can't. It is very uncomfortable and you shouldn't either"

"Fine, I will sleep on the floor."

"Angel you don't want to, trust me" I didn't listen to him and I put my pillow on the floor with my blanket, and I tried to sleep. At first, it was fine but then with time my back started to feel uncomfortable, the floor was hard and my body was not used to it. I tried to ignore and concentrate on my sleep but I couldn't. After 10 mins or more I started to feel restless and agitated. I just couldn't sleep and I wanted to sleep badly. I was very tired, I wanted to go back to my bed but I had too much pride so I forced myself to sleep. After 5 mins of torture, I felt Ryan lifted me up and took me to my bedside. I was thankful to him but at the same time, I was so sleepy that I couldn't say anything to him.

"I told you, Angel!" He said in a whisper close to my ear, kissed me on the cheek. He tucked me on the bed and then I heard him take his position next to me. He snaked his left arm around my waist and dug his nose in my neck. I loved to spoon and and the moment Ryan spooned me I was in bliss and I slept peacefully after a long time.

Ryan

I woke up at my usual time at 6am but only this time I slept peacefully. This was the very first night I ever slept without any nightmares. To see the girl I slept next with, happily snored while her face buried in my chest, I pulled her more and tightly. She was my angel my happiness my peace. I can't let her go, I belong to her and she belongs to me. I closed my eyes, hugged her and I found sleep again. The next time I woke up, it was past 10 and we were still on the bed. Her back was against my chest and my cock between her butt cheeks. Before she could realize the gravity of the situation I got up and immediately went to my room while I made sure I made no sound to wake her up. I went to my washroom, took a bath, freshened up, and came down to meet my family.

"You are up early?" Chloe mocked, she disliked people who got up late,

"Sorry about that, I slept peacefully"

"What do you mean peacefully?" She looked inquisitive, she knew what I meant,

"I slept peacefully after a long time" only family and friends knew about my nightmares. Everyone else thought that it was my work that got me up all night but to be honest it was not work or office. Work was always a distraction from my nightmares I got.

"Really" she looked surprised and well it was for both of us, especially me. I thought my nightmares would never go away,

"Wow, was it because of Mia?" she inquired and for a moment she lost me there,

"What Mia?" I questioned,

"You guys went out, right? Did anything interesting happen?" she asked in a whisper,

"Actually yes! Something interesting did happen" I said,

"Really?" she looked surprised,

"Yeah! my room has bed bugs," I said nonchalantly.

"What?"

"And I had to sleep with Mia"

"What?! you slept with her?" She looked shocked,

"And she let you sleep with her?"

"No. She tried to sleep on the floor but I got her on the bed while she was asleep" Chloe looked at me like I did something foolish.

"What?"

"You could have got her into Nina's room. You know it was empty?" she said while she slapped my arm

"Thank god I didn't remember that and neither did she," I thanked my stars and Chloe stared at me, she clearly didn't approve of what I did,

"I just slept with her not sexed with her"

"Ryan, what is she to you?"

"Wait, aren't you interested that I didn't get my nightmares?"

"I am so happy to hear that but what will happen if things don't work out for you?"

"I get what you are trying to tell me. But it's impossible to stay away from her. I have known her for more than 6 months now and this trip has been the closest we have ever been. Before this, I rarely saw her, and whenever I did she just swept me away every time. I haven't thought about any girl, I haven't had sex with any girl, Chloe. She is all I think about every second of my life. Coming here, spending a whole day and night with her I can tell you for sure that she is the one for me. I don't think I can ever look at any girl the same way I see her. She is important to me Chloe. She is damn fucking important to me."

"You are falling for her, aren't you? " she looked sad and worried,

"I have never been so alive," I said in a helpless tone and she hugged me,

"I hope you get what you deserve sweetheart and I know you deserve someone who will love you back" she looked at me with a teary eye and I returned the gesture with a smile,

"My little brother has finally found a girl who is already in a relationship with someone else" she mocked while she made cranky face,

"Chloe!" she made a big scene out of nothing,

"How can I not,"

"So what time you are guys leaving?"

"I think I need to wake her up first"
