Marina rolled over to face me and took my hand. She gave it a comforting squeeze and smiled at me.
I began to drift to sleep on the disgusting flea ridden mattress, when Marina dug her nails into my hand. It nearly gave me a heart attack. I looked over at her to see that she was asleep, and was probably having a bad dream, considering the fact that she just tried to rip the skin off my hand.
I shook her gently and whispered her name, causing her eyelids flicker. I shook her again, a bit harder, and she shot upwards in her bed.
''What was that for?'' she asked
I held up my hand and waved it around in front of her face, showing her the fingernail marks on my hand, dripping with blood.
''Oh sorry'' she said obviously not meaning it.
She took my hand, and the familiar icy felling surrounded the cuts on my hand, and they slowly began to heal, and the blood began to disappear.
When she was done healing my hand she kept holding it, and I looked over at her.
I felt my face turn red, but luckily it was dark out, and she could not see it. Jeez what was happening to me?
Marina pulled me in and hugged me for no apparent reason, and I traced the Loric number seven on her back. she shivered, and I laid back down, wondering why this girl had such an effect on me.
She nuzzled into my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around her, trying to keep the cold away.
I woke up to the early morning light coming in through the broken window, of the abandoned house.
Marina was still asleep, with her head on my chest, and her arm over my stomach. she had her leg draped slightly over mine, and my face was inches from hers. There was a bit of hair covering her face, so I slid it out of the way, and looked at her, only now realizing how pretty she was. I got a warm feeling in my stomach when I was around her, and I was wondering again what had changed inside me.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me with an intense stare.
''I know you were looking at me, and I know you are hiding something from me, so why don't you just make this easier, and tell me.''
I did not know what to do, and I did not know what I was feeling inside of me so I gave her a confused look, and played it off like nothing had happened.
But before I could untangle myself form her arms and legs, she pulled me in so close that I could practically feel her breath on my face.
''I don't know if you feel the same way, but I think that I am in love with you.'' The words came rushing out of my mouth before I could stop them, and Marina just stared at me.
I did not realize it until I said it, but know I knew that I was in love with Marina.
Her face was still inches from mine, and she pulled me a bit closer. I slid my hand all the way up her back, and I could feel her shiver.
I pulled her a bit closer, until my lips were touching her nose, and I slowly dragged my fingers along her spine, down to her lower back.
Marina close the gap, and our lips touched, and just then Eight walked in.
''Lets go get captured by Mogs!'' shouted Eight.
Me and Marina jumped apart before Eight could see anything, and started at him like he was crazy, probably because he was. He already had a backpack slung over his shoulder.
