Chapter 23 : Like in the movies.

(( SYDNEY'S POV ))

I wrinkled my nose as I turned my head [ Something smells like grass ] I felt something rough on my face and felt something hard beneath me. Then I remembered I was still on Tyler.

Carefully raising my head, he looked so cute. Like pinch his cheeks and take selfies cute. I smiled dreamily to myself [ It wouldn't be so bad to wake up next to beautiful men though ]

I made a slightly disgusted face and mumbled to myself as I crawled out of his loose grip, " What am I saying? How would I survive without Internet or electricity "? [ How have I survived this long anyways? ] I dusted myself off and stood up, hands on hips as I looked down at Tyler.

" I can't just leave him on the floor " [ or can I? ] I shook my head, " He might catch a cold and only God knows what'll happen after that ". Picking his hands, I managed to pull the top part of his body on to my bed.

Next, I pulled his legs up as well and pushed him deeper into the bed. It was only a few inches but enough so he didn't fall out of bed if he rolled over.

I smoothed my hair back and looked around the room, specifically at the place the secret passage was supposed to be and it was back to normal. I picked a thin blue robe, put it on and quietly left the room.

I'd barely stepped out of the room when Bashful appeared in front of me, we both jumped and screamed silently. I did that cos I didn't want to wake anyone but I'm almost certain that's as high as Bashful will ever let himself go.

" What are you doing up so early "? I blinked a few times [ His voice is oddly enchanting ] and shook my head, " I should be asking you that ". Is it possible to invent a color more pinkish red that's also cute....cos I just did and it's on Bashful's face.

I held my hand down with the other so I didn't reach for his cheek. I cleared my throat, " I want to go for a run, you "? Bashful looked surprised but quickly composed himself, " I actually wanted to speak to you about something ".

I heard a ding in my head and a notification in pink appeared in front of me

I looked up at him and smiled slightly, " What can I do to help "? Bashful fiddled with his fingers and I felt like I was about to get a nosebleed [ Cuteness is such a deadly weapon ] " I don't know how to put it ".

I held his hand gently, " Take your time, I'm here whenever you're ready ". I walked past him with a smile, half expecting him to hold me back like in the movies and I felt something on my wrist.

I stopped in my tracks and smiled to myself before turning around and looking concerned, " I'm ready to tell you now " [ * creepy inner smile * So maybe the movies weren't complete lies ]
