What It Means To Love You

Awaken Adventures

...Skylar...

I awaken with a start, there is an incessant vibration in my ears. I am confused as I begin to look around; where exactly am I?

I am surrounded by pillows and the comfort in which this bed gives. It is dark so cannot see much, however, there is a soft light, the moon gives, coming from the balcony. I am awestruck by the sheer beauty of it, for it gives the room an ambiance of peace. Suddenly, my phone begins to vibrate again, drawing me back into my current state. I glance at the screen, Corbin, I sigh heavily, I do not feel like dealing with him right now. Once, again I begin to look around in order to place myself.

And, then I see him, the man I saw at the pharmacy, and everything starts to come crashing down as I recall the events that took place earlier today.

...Christain...

I drove her to my home not knowing what else to do. Upon my arrival, I quickly shut the car off and ran to her side. Debating to wake her up or carry her, I chose the latter. Lifting her into my arms, I felt an immense amount of heat and something else I couldn’t place, ignoring them both I walked carefully and quickly to the front door, one of my guards immediately letting me in. I called out to several of my men and a few maids for their assistance in getting me what I needed and putting her to bed. I took her to my room and gently placed her on my bed, not caring at the moment that she is still very wet. I asked Anna, my housemaid, to strip and dress her; while I rummaged through the medicine closet, looking for the thermometer and cold compressions. Returning to the room I found her placed comfortably under a few blankets on top of the comforter.

I checked her temperature and sighed at the reading, 101.8. I asked Anna to bring me an ice basin as I sat before her, wondering what else to do. Anna brought me the ice and I pressed the cold compress to her head. I continued this process until nothing but the water remained.

She is beautiful and I couldn’t help but admire her soft features. She has soft golden-brown skin, a small button nose, and medium-sized pink rosy lips; her hair was wet but curly and beautiful. Wanting nothing more than to run my fingers through her hair, I quickly left the room and placed a guard by her door. She was not to be disturbed and I needed space to breathe; that room and her scent were both suffocating me.

After another hour and a long shower, I found myself again in her room. I pulled up a chair and merely watched her sleep. After a while, she begins to stir and groan in her sleep. I quickly approached the bed wondering what more could be wrong, when her phone began to go off. I looked at the screen ...Baby Blue... Who the...Who is that?!?! I try to calm my raging emotions and focus my attention on the one in front of me, but yet again the same caller calls again; I am tempted to throw her phone out the window. And then silence, I take my seat and watch her breathe, the soft breaths she takes, the little way her nose flares as if she was having a disturbing dream. Her phone goes off again and seriously, I am starting to lose my patience, but then she awakens. I watch in silence as she takes in her surroundings before her attention is drawn to her phone. I hear her release a heavy sigh before her eyes meet mine and I am completely and utterly entranced and captivated by her beautiful light brown, sparkling eyes.

She opens her mouth to begin to speak, but nothing comes forth, she tries again before she clears her throat.

“Hi..umm...hello”

I smirked.

“Hello”

“Where am I and why?”

“My home, my bedroom specifically; and because you fell asleep after our intense love-making in the rain, and I didn’t know what to do with you.”

She released another sigh.

“I appreciate your generous hospitality, as well as your thoughtful consideration, however, I would have liked it if you would have woken me and simply said you needed to be on your way.”

Her eyes then widen and she cutely glares at me, registering completely what I just said.

I simply smirked at her in return and her lips formed into a cute little pout.

She sighs again and turns away from me as she lays back down and I am tempted to ask her how she feels. There is a knock at the door and I go to answer it, my guard is there.

“Sir, Miss Hannah is here and she is looking for you.”

“Thank-You, Daniel, I will be there shortly.”

I close the door and walk back to her bed.

“Call for me, if you need anything, do NOT leave this bed, and I will have Anna look in on you. I will be back shortly, please remember what I said.”

Unconsciously, I leaned in and kissed her forehead, before I made my exit.

I turn to the guard by her door to speak.

“DO NOT under any circumstances leave this door or allow ANYONE besides Anna in.”

“Yes Sir.”

...Skylar...

My head hurts and I feel extremely drained; Corbin is calling again and I am tempted to turn my phone off until I notice other missed calls and messages. Oh no, oh no, oh nooo, my friends are flipping out, I was going to call but, how do I explain this away?! I will save it for tomorrow; I close my eyes and reflect on my day before darkness consumes me.

Daylight breaks and I am awoken by the beautiful sun rays on my face. My phone is ringing and I smile before it is replaced with fear, Chasity is calling.

“Hello Babe, GoodMorning.”

“Baby, she says calmly, where are you and why is your location off?”

“Well, Hello and GoodMorning to me too. I am fine but, how are you?!” I respond sarcastically.

“SKYLAR OCEAN SINCLAIR, answer my questions right NOW!!! We have been scared and worried sick about you all night and I am not in the mood for your games; where are you?!” She began to cry.

I sigh

“Sorry, Chas; I turned my location off after my argument with Corbin, later that evening I went to the pharmacy to pick up some medicine and lost my keys, but I think I may have just locked them in the car. It started raining heavily when I met this young gentleman who took me home and proceeded to care for me, but I promise to be home shortly.”

I hear her sigh before she speaks.

“Sorry Sky, I, well, we all were just extremely concerned. So expect to be taken over the knee, for my unnecessary tears. But, where are you and why did you not call one of us?”

At that moment Mr. Handsome enters and I am stunned, he had the most beautiful gray eyes I have ever seen. He smiles softly at me and I remember that Chasity is still on the phone.

I am not exactly sure where I am, but I will share my location with you. I will speak with you later, Love, I need to go.

“OK, fine, Love You.”

I then turn back to the mysterious man with the beautiful grey eyes.
