The surprise in me, made me blink. “Huh?”
He dropped my hand. “I want you to sleep here with me.” Not a command, but a request.
But he wanted me to sleep in the same room as him?
Obviously he didn't seem to want what was in my mind, but then, why would he randomly want us to sleep together.
“Why?” I had to ask, though I didn't make it sound like I didn't want to sleep with him.
“I just guessed that it might be…” he rubbed the back of his neck, probably regretting asking, “you know what, forget I asked.”
Seriously? He asks first and then says I should forget he asked. “I don't mind sleeping here tonight.”
“Really?” His eyes lit up a little.
“I mean,” now, I was starting to feel shy, “it won't hurt anyone and who knows, it might help me get my job done better.”
He smiled a little.
