RAY

Chp 16. What was it about?

POV:

Ray Mellan

I woke up to streams of light hitting my face. I groaned and tried to bury myself under the blankets, and sink in further in my bed, but it was very hard and uncomfortable underneath, and the blankets are also suddenly very heavy and pulling me near the wall, and the pillow is very warm and hard.

I tried rolling over to my stomach but failed, I felt someone grip my waist making it steady pulling me closer and I felt warm breath on my face.

Immediately my eyes opened, my sense crept back, my mind started working and I realize, that I was currently sleeping with Ash, in the forest, within his arms.

Oh, God!

I can't help but think how did we end up in this position, sleeping peacefully in the each-others arm. I bite my lips and think.

Slowly the memory from yesterday made it's the way in my mind,  The secret place, And Ash consoling me, and my mind calming down, and then I shut my eyes closed and open up to find us here.

It's been almost three months, that I've had such a nice peaceful good night sleep. Closing my eyes I breathe in deeply, and Ash's sweet manly cologne fills my nose. I like it.

I need to pee, so I poke Ash, cause I' m trapped within him, and he isn't allowing me to go, I tried my best to crawl under, but couldn't. He is just so huge.

He wouldn't budge, so I poked again, "C'mon you've been asleep forever! Wake up Ashhh.." I said.

He groans beside me, and bury his face in the crook of my neck, and murmur something," I wish I could sleep forever here, But noooooo you just had to wake me up, Ray!" He groaned.

And as if realization hit him, he woke up immediately and stared at me with shock.

He looked so cute when he is stunned.

I laughed aloud, looking at his face, that seemed to have seen a ghost, and he turned red, looking embarrassed and looking at everything but me.

"Calm down Ash, we are cool," I said, to assure him, that nothing has happened and to stop worrying.

Normally I should have been freaked out, but here it's the total opposite, I'm consoling him. 

He is very cute. I laughed again.

And all of a sudden, I saw a million emotions in his eyes, sadness, longing, love, memories, loss, everything. I find my own eyes watering at how beautiful and open yet pained his eyes truly are, revealing how he feels under all that not-caring bravado.

Then he looks at me watching him with wide eyes and the dark brown covers his eyes again, the light no longer there as if it never happened, and slowly stood up and waited for me to go home on his bike.

What was it about?

I need to know.
