Chapter 129

Rose regretted being the one to suggest they share a bed as now she could not back out of what she started. She had been so confident until Zayne pointed out that he was teasing her. 

Rose laid on the edge of the left side of the bed, backing Zayne to look out the window at his perfect view of the sky. Seeing the sky helped to calm her thoughts about sharing a bed with Zayne.

It had become so silent since they both laid down and Rose wondered if Zayne had fallen asleep but didn't try to turn to see if he was awake. She didn't want to be caught turning to look at him.

Rose closed her eyes, pretending to go to sleep, waiting for the moment when she could sneak back to her room. She didn't know how much time passed since she closed her eyes but Rose sat up, ready to make her escape.

"Leaving already?" Zayne asked, his eyes still closed. "I'm a light sleeper, Rose. Should I have told you that earlier so you could plot a better escape?"
