Chapter 90: Chapter 90
I woke up panting damn it it was the same dream again. But this time Lily didn’t fade away, instead she was replaced with her beat up body covered in blood, her eyes wide in fear. I shivered and suddenly felt the need to check on her.
I got up from my bed and got out. I opened her bedroom door silently and got inside, closing it behind me. I smiled and felt relief when I saw her. She’s fine. She’s still here I reassured myself. Her hair was splayed around her, one of her arms was under the pillow as she slept peacefully. God if I could take a picture of her now I would.
I felt like stalker watching her while she slept but I couldn’t help it I needed to check on her. I was about to turn around and go back to my room when a knife flew missing me by an inch and ending up on the wall behind me. I turned and found Lily standing up with a bullet in front of me.
"don’t think I missed, cause I guarentee I never miss. Who is this?" she said and I looked at her in confusion that’s when I remembered that she was human. She couldn’t see in the dark anymore.
"Lily it’s me. Ethan" I said and immediately she put the gun down and turned the light on
"You almost gave me heart attack" she said "What are you doing here?"
"Where did the gun and knife come from?" I changed the subject quickly
"I always keep a gun and knife under my pillow. You never know who might attack at night"
I chuckled and rolled my eyes "should have known"
"you didn’t answer my question" she said "What are you doing here?"
"Nightmare"
"About?"
I looked at her for a moment before I answered "losing you." I stated "I’ve already lost you two times I guess it’s made me paranoid. I had to check on you"
she bit her lip and nodded before turning and going back into bed. I took the hint and turned around to leave. "Ethan?" I heard her say
I turned and looked at her, she didn’t say anything instead she scooted to the side and moved the covers "Stay with me tonight"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
I nodded grinning and got into bed with her. I wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her close to me. She looked so beautiful, her lips slightly parted, her hair a mess around her and her eyes as beautiful as always. I used my free hand to brush my knuckles on her cheek.
"I love you"
She smiled and moved even closer to me, pressing her body against mine. Her lips were just inches from mine "I love you too" and then she kissed me and I immediately responded, tightening my hand around her waist as I let all the desperation, longing and frustration that I felt when she was gone into the kiss. This was the first time we’ve kissed since she got kidnapped and I wanted to show her just how much I loved her.
We pulled away after a while, both of us breathless. "I was worried kissing you wouldn’t feel the same without the bond" she said "It’s different, but still kind of the same"
I smiled and stared at her flushed face, her swollen lips "You’re so beautiful Lily" she blushed but then yawned and I smirked "Come on let’s sleep" I turned around and turned off the light.
Lily snuggled closer to me, her head resting on my chest and I knew that I would never be able to sleep without her again.
*********
Lily’s P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning and snuggled into the warmth of Ethan. I couldn’t remember the last time I slept this comfortable.
I smiled and rested my chin on his chest as I stared at him sleeping. God he was so handsome. He shifted a bit and pulled me tighter to him before his eyes fluttered open. A smile immediately broke on his face "Good morning" he said "I really could get used to waking up like this"
I smiled giving him a peck on the lips "me too"
"LUX WE’RE PUTTING UP THE-" The twins screamed bursting in the room but hey stopped whn they saw Ethan beside me and then grinned "Christmas tree"
"You are?" I asked excitedly "I’ll be right down don’t start without me"
"OKay" Dave said smirking "Soooo"
"You guys did it, didn’t you" Jim continued and turned to his brother "Told you they would, pay up"
I stared in shock as Dave took money from his pocket and put it in Jim’s hand "Couldn’t you wait a bit Lily?"
"Oh my god you guys had a bet on when we’d have SEX?" I yelled jumping out of the bed and the twins noticed I wasn’t naked "1: we didn’t have sex. and two:" I grabbed one of each of their ears and led them outside "How many times have I told you not to make bets on things like that. Remember what happened last time?"
"We don’t know what you’re talking about" Dave said innocently
"Really?" I said crossing my arms "You’re telling me you don’t remember when you had a bet that the bartender was actually a guy and got thrown out of the club because you touched her breasts?"
The twins groaned "Okay that was a bad bet"
"And there was also the time when..."
"Okay okay we get it" Jim said "Sorry"
I grinned "That’s better. Now I’m gonna go get dressed and we’ll put up the Christmas tree" they nodded and I got back to the room to find Ethan sitting there smiling.
"Well that was interesting" he said and I rolled my eyes.
"You need to get out I’m gonna get dressed so we can put up the Christmas tree"
