77-He Has A Habit Of Losing What He Loves

Lv.1

“What are you doing?” I immediately pulled off to the corner and got trapped by the wall on one side and Maynard on the other side.

“What? I am just coming closer to talk in whispers. You don’t want them to wake up and interrupt us. I have something really urgent to talk about,” He got argumentative, lowering his eyebrows and bringing them together as if it made sense that he must slip into the bed with me.

“It’s inappropriate,” I complained, sitting up in the bed and passing a quick stare at my sleeping mates.

“What is? We are mates,” Maynard got up after me but didn’t leave the bed.

“If you are worried because of them then don’t be. When has your worry ever concerned them? They have both played you in ways and never looked back to check up on you. Maybe it’s time you stop thinking about them and start worrying about yourself,” Maynard held forth, vertical wrinkles appearing between his eyebrows.

“You are not wrong!” I whispered, easing up in the bed with him.

“Besides, we are just cuddling,” he said under his breath and got me to raise my brow at him, “I’m kidding!” he retreated.

I subtly relaxed under the blanket to hear him say what he wished me to hear.

“So, you said it was something urgent,” I whispered, turning my side to him. The fuck! He was sexy af.

I have never seen him from this close. The little smirk curling his lip up hinted he was aware of my thoughts.

“Ahem!” I had to clear my throat to break the stare from his face.

“So?” I repeated asking him.

“So! I wanted to say sorry,” he mouthed and my face changed expressions to bland.

This is why he slid into the bed with me?

“Before you comment this is not enough excuse to be in the same bed as you, let me finish first. I have made mistakes and sometimes fiddled about but I was just jealous,” he paused just to see my eyes grow to double their original size, “Yeah! Make fun. But I began to bear a grudge whenever I saw you with Thiago. In my head, he was miles ahead of me in pursuing you and it struck my heart. I’m sorry for saying anything that I didn’t mean at that time but only said them to ruin your mood and time with Thiago,” his left cheek was sweetly squished with the pillow and his lips barely moved because of that. But everything he said really amused me into not having anything to argue about for the first time.

“Oh!” all I could respond was with that weird sound that didn’t convey my emotions to him correctly.

“Is it a good Oh! Or bad oh?” the corner of his eyes wrinkled as he waited for me to answer him. “It’s not a very bad thing,” hiding my smile, I casually gave a little nudge to my eyebrows to sound carefree. “So you are not upset with me anymore?” He asked again just to be certain there was no cold war going on between us.

“No! But this is your last chance,” i rested my face on the pillow, and this time we silently stayed there looking into each other’s eyes.

It was exciting how just when I thought all my mates were dumb and self-serving, I was proven wrong.

As the seconds turned into minutes, I watched his eyelids forcing to meet. He must be tired and so was I. I let him be the first to doze off and then followed him.
