We spent the next couple hours watching mindless garbage on TV and before we knew it, it was 5AM and exhaustion was finally starting to hit me. When I moved away from him I could have sworn he looked sad for the loss of contact, but I pushed that thought from my mind and stood up from the couch.
It wasn't until then that the issue of sleeping arrangements occurred to me. In truth I really wanted to sleep in his bed, with him. But I was sure that wasn't gonna happen so I kept my mouth shut and waited for him to broach the subject. I didn't have to wait long.
He stood up in front of me and when he reached his full height I had to look up to see his smiling face and I couldn't help but blush at the reminder of how much bigger he was than me. Something I'd discovered over the years that I loved about him.
He placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed slightly. "So, ready for bed?"
I nodded. "Yeah, you?"
He shrugged and smiled again. "Yeah, I could sleep." And then he turned his head gesturing at the couch. "So, I'll take the couch and you can have the bed."
Fuck, even worse than not sharing was kicking him out of his own bed. "No, its ok I'll take the couch, I'm smaller than you so I won't be cramped. And besides…it's your bed."
He looked back down at me then with a serious expression and I felt my face flush. "Nope, not gonna happen. What kind of gentleman would I be if I made you sleep on the couch depriving you of the comfort of my California king?" And then he smirked. "No matter how small you might be."
He said small with strange tone and I wasn't sure to what to make of it so I ignored it. "Well what kind of guest would I be if I kicked you out of your own bed?"
He laughed then and nudged me with the hand still on my shoulder. "Not gonna budge huh?"
I laughed a little in response. "Nope. You?"
He laughed again and looked over at his bedroom door thoughtfully. "Not a chance." He paused for a second and then continued cautiously. "So…how about we share?"
And with that...I almost died. I actually had to wait a second to keep my elation from my voice and when I finally spoke I swear it was still in a high pitched squeak. "Ok….I mean...well if it's ok with you that is."
He looked at me seriously again and then placed both hands on my shoulders, turned me around and steered me towards the bedroom. "Yes, I'm positive it's ok with me."
When we got into the bedroom I watched as he pulled the covers back and my nervousness increased exponentially. I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear him talking to me until he practically yelled my name. "Mars?"
I looked up and smiled when I saw a pair of boxers and a t-shirt in his hand. "For me?"
He smirked again and pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "Yeah, it'd be too uncomfortable to sleep in your clothes, wouldn't it?"
Yes that was true, so how about naked? If only I had the nerve to ask.
Instead I thanked him and headed into the bathroom to change freaking out the whole time. And not just freaking out about sleeping in his clothes, in his bed and next to him. But because I just knew that I was gonna end up all over him in my sleep and there was nothing I could do about it. I just seem to gravitate towards people when I share a bed with them, doesn't matter who it is. But there was nothing I could do about it, it was gonna happen so I took a deep breath and left the bathroom.
When I got back to the bed he was already under the covers and as I slid in beside him my original notice of bare shoulders was confirmed as a shirtless lamb and I choked on my breath a little.
Lamb looked over at me briefly as I laid down and I swear he was trying to formulate words but I just couldn't tell so I kept my mouth shut, my heart racing, my hands to myself and my body on fire as I laid only 6 inches from the 'hunk of burning love' to my left.
Sleep? Yeah that was gonna happen.
Thanks for reading! Review please!
