CHAPTER FIVE
The Big OOPS
“I think it’s time for bed.” Adam said shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes and realized that the movie had been over for a while.
“What time is it?” I asked slowly sitting up and stretching.
“Somewhere around two I think. I couldn’t make out the clock on the DVD player.” He groaned as he stretched himself. “We must have passed out when the damn thing started.”
I stood up and reached for his hands pulling him to his feet, he towered over me. Adam’s eyes softened and I could hear his heart pounding again. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him, I reached up and touched his face. He closed his eyes and leaned his cheek in to my hand a smile slowly forming on his lips. I felt my own heart start to increase, I pulled my hand away in fear.
There was no urge to steal his soul, no want to feed on his sins. The boy had only a few sins as it was, he was clean, nothing that the demon in me wanted. He opened his eyes and looked at me again as I wrapped my fingers in his and led him up the stairs and into my room.
I threw on my jammies in my closet and crawled under the covers with a topless Adam I leaned my head on his chest and threw my arm across his stomach. It was amazing that our parents did not object to our sleep arrangements. It wasn’t like this every night just on the nights when I would bring someone new to the manor.
I was always holding on to a fear that I had brought back someone bad and I wanted Adam there to wake me if he heard anything. Not to mention he would be able to rouse me if for any reason I was summoned to an astral plane. I know my parents said that it couldn’t be done in the house but stranger things had happened. With the increasing amount of power that was living on the property there was no telling who was channeling what.
I propped my head up on his chest and looked at his face. He had one arm up behind his head and was looking back at me with those beautiful brown eyes. He gave me a smile and blinked. I stared at him in awe and saw the change in the way he looked at me. There was a longing there and it was pulling me in, that was when I did the unthinkable and crawled up and pressed my lips to his. He hesitated for a moment before winding his hands into my hair and pulling me closer to him.
The kiss was amazing, it sent sparks shooting from my toes and I heard the light in me sing. The dark seemed to look out displeased but for the first time there was no hunger, the kiss was innocent and electric and the way our lips fit together was as if they were meant to do this. I was meant to kiss Adam, I had always been meant to. I understood every odd feeling I had when it came to him. I wanted this and I had wanted this for a long time.
Our lips pulled apart and he had a bewildered look on his face. I tried to catch my breath before my heart leapt from my throat. I put my head back down on his chest running my fingers in doodles on his flesh. I could still hear his heart pounding as his arms wound around my shoulders squeezing me tightly.
“Did that just really happen?” He asked his voice a whisper.
“I think it did.” I said putting my palm on his breast bone.
“Shit.” He said simply as his breathing increased.
“Well that wasn’t exactly what I thought you would say.” I said feeling dread tear through me.
Had I done something wrong? Aaron and I broke up over a month ago it’s not like I was rushing into my next relationship. I don’t know what I was looking for. I had to test the feeling in my soul and I had been right.
“No it’s good. It’s all good.” He pat my shoulder. “Let’s get some sleep. We can talk about this in the morning.”
“Sounds like a plan.” I leaned up and kissed him once more before nestling in and closing my eyes.
“Good night Weathers.” He said still trying to control his breath.
“Good night Snyder.” I said yawning. He was warm which made me comfortable and I drifted off to sleep.
