"𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐄? 𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐄....." Nyx heard Zion's voice in her dreams. Her heart fluttered when she heard his voice. It was like there was magic laced in every word he said that left her entranced every single time.
She felt something move below her and instantly, like the light sleeper she is, Nyx got up from her sleep. She looked around and adjusted her eyes to the darkness that surrounded her room. She felt someone's resting on her lap. Turning from her position, she finds Zion sleeping beside her.
She checked the clock - it was four in the morning. She groaned since she needed her beauty sleep. Now she is going to look horrible when she gets ready in the morning for college.
"Lessie...." she hears Zion call out her name.
She immediately checks his temperature, only to find out that he is burning. She quickly gets up from her bed and gets the medicine from the side table of the bed. After grabbing a glass of water from the kitchen, she rushes to Zion. Seeing his sweating figure leaves her disheartened but she diverts her focus back to him.
"Zion?" she says softly. But she gets only a groan as a response. She takes off the blanket covering his chest since he was sweating profusely and lifts his head up a bit.
"Open your mouth a bit, Zion. I need to give you the medicine," she says.
"Lessie...." Zion continues to say but he opens his mouth a bit. She gives him the medicine quickly, making sure that he swallows it properly.
"Why the fuck do I attend those matches?" Zion finally says. He opens his hazel eyes to meet Nyx's dark brown ones. A smile forms on her face when she sees that Zion is at least saying something.
"Because you are an idiot and you love others so much that you forget to love yourself too," she replies as she puts his head back on the pillow, carefully.
"But Ryan needs to wake up. When he does, I will give him the world. He deserves it." Zion replies.
"Susshh... he will wake up but you need to go back to sleep. You need to rest," she tells him. Her hands run through his silky black hair and she can feel him relax under his touch.
"What would I do without you, Lessie?" he says as he turns to face her.
Nyx chuckles and lays on his chest. She looks at him but her hands seem to have a mind of their own. They wander down his chest, tracing his delicious abs. In his arms, she felt like she was at home. He was her savior and she depended to continue to save her from falling into a tunnel of darkness. She doesn't know what would come of her if she doesn't.
"You are not that bad, you know. You just have these tough shields around you that you don't let anyone cross. You are.... you are amazing, Nyx. You have that smile that haunts me every day when I fall asleep. Ughh... and your eyes. They are a beautiful trap that I won't mind getting caught in forever. You are so strong and I just wish...." Zion says.
Nyx's heart skips a beat when she hears him say those words. It's like the most beautiful thing she has heard in her life. Inside her heart, hope emerged and she could see them kissing under the stars and making love in their bed.
"What do you wish, Zion?" she asks him.
He faces down to her so that their faces almost touch - their lips dangerously close. She was scared that whatever he was saying was because of the medicine, that he was drowsy and won't remember anything. But she wanted this moment with him. She needed him more than anything right now.
"That I could be worthy of your love. I wish that I can hold you in my arms forever and have a football team of children with you. I want every single one of them to be like you. I wish.... I wish I could kiss you." he says.
Nyx smiles and leans in. Her soft lips meet his and with the contact, she loses all control. His lips are like an addiction that she wouldn't mind getting high on. She pulls him closer, deepening the kiss.
Zion's hand circled her waist, pulling her closer so that she practically lies on top of him. Both of them are lost in their feelings and they simply couldn't seem to get enough. Their lips moved in perfect sync.
His kisses trailed down her neck, sucking it gently. She was sure to get some love bites after this. But she didn't mind - she wanted to remember this moment even if he wouldn't.
"Lessie..." he moans out and his voice was enough to make her wet between her legs. She could feel his arousal rubbing her stomach. She moaned out loud when he sucked her lower lips, biting them because of his strong desire for her.
Her hands trailed down and made their way into his boxers. She wanted to make him feel good but then she remembered the situation they are in.
There was no going back from the kisses they shared. The sexual tension between them was now evident and intensified. If she gave in now and made love with him, he might not remember it in the morning. And she didn't want that.
She pulled away from him slowly, missing his kisses instantly. Her eyes met his and they simply looked at each other with a passion so hot that it can burn down an entire fire.
"Zion.... you are sick. I can't... I can't do this with you in this condition." she says but Zion seems to have a mind of his own and starts kissing her neck slowly. She seems to loose her control.
"Zion... please. Go to sleep... We will talk in the morning." she says.
Zion groans and pulls away, a frown forming on his handsome face.
"But I want you now, sunshine..." he says.
Nyx turns to lie beside him.
"You need sleep... we will for sure talk tomorrow morning," she says. He doesn't argue again and pulls her closer to him. She cuddled into him and smiles as she thinks about the kiss.
She just hoped that things will change for the better between them, tomorrow.
