"We better get to bed." Zack said standing up and letting go of my hand.
"I can sleep out here."
"No, you can have my bed."
"Are you sure?"
"Myira." he looked at me seriously.
"Ok, ok." I blushed.
I stood up, refolded the blanket I was using and placed it back on the couch. Zack did the same and headed for his room. I followed.
"It's all yours." he said pointing to the bed. "Did you need to borrow any clothes at all?"
"No, I think I will be ok in this. Are you sure you shouldn't sleep-"
"It will be ok." he said interrupting me.
"Ok."
I walked over the bed, pulled back the covers and sat down. The sheets smelled freshly washed. I pulled the sheets far enough to where my feet could easily slip under them. After slipping my feet under I pulled the cool blanket over my shoulder. There is nothing better than the feeling of cold sheets after a long day. I closed my eyes but opened them to see what Zack was doing. He walked over to his dresser, pulled out three blankets and sprawled them out on the floor next to the bed.
"Zack are you sure about this?"
"Why do you keep worrying about me so much." he said in a light but laughing tone.
"Because this is your house and feels wrong making you sleep on the floor of your own house."
"Don't worry about me. When I was younger I always hated sleeping on the bed so I would sleep on the floor."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
He walked over to the light switch and flipped it off. The room went dark and the only light in the room was the tiny sliver of light coming through the crack under the door. I rolled over onto my back and stared up at the dark. In the dark I could hear Zack walking around. He sat down and pulled the blankets over him.
"Goodnight." he said shifting around.
"Goodnight."
We layed in silence for a while, before the urge took me by surprise. I moved to the side of the bed and looked over it.
"Zack?" I said into the darkness while moving my hand down by him.
"Yeah?" he said suddenly.
I found his hand and grabbed hold of it.
"What's wrong?"
He held my hand firmly within his.
"Nothing."
For once in my life I actually felt human. If only I was a human. Things would be better for the two of us if I was. I squeezed his hand a little tighter. He ran his finger along the back of my hand. I really wanted to kiss him but I would not let that urge take over.
Soon he fell alseep. I could feel his hand begin to slip from mine, I gently placed it back on top on him and shimmied over on the bed. Before long I fell alseep. When I woke up the next morning there was no memory of a dream. Not even a calling. There wasn't a moment where I was interrupted. Some how I felt peaceful. After a few minutes of waking up I sat up and looked around. Zack wasn't in the room which made me curious. I looked around a little bit before I heard footsteps coming to the door. I slid back down under the sheets so the person was coming to the door didn't think I was snooping around. I closed my eyes and pretended I was alseep. The person who walked in was Zack, I could tell by the sound of him walking. A hand touched my shoulder.
"Myira." Zack said shaking my shoulder slightly.
I acted as if I just woke up and looked up at him.
"Goodmorning." he said bright smile.
"Goodmorning." I said in a sleepy tone.
"Mom is making breakfast. Did you want some?"
"Sure."
I yawned, sat up and pulled my legs into a criss-cross. Zack sat down on the part of bed infront of me.
"How did you sleep?" he asked me.
"It was actually the most peaceful night of sleep I have had ever since I have came here."
"Well thats good."
"How about you?"
"It was actually very comfortable."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Awkward silence took over and flashbacks to last night took over. I got butterflies just at the thought of him.
"Uhm, Zack."
"Yes?"
"About last night. W-why did u kiss me?" I said looking down at my lap embarrassed.
"Well. I- I geuss the moment was right."
I chuckled a little bit. "It was a perfect moment. One I will never forget." I looked back up at him his expression changed slightly.
"You know, you never fail to make me smile."
I blushed, "You too." I said moving the hair out of my eyes.
"Breakfast is done!" Karmen yelled form the kitchen.
"Okay!" Zack yelled back.
