Chapter 10: Bed Time
I tapped my fingers on the stirring wheel for a few minutes contemplating my destination. Well if I brought her to her house it could be a security risk. I wouldn't want that. And she's asleep so I can't get her a cab, 'cause after her day I didn't want to wake her. Finally I came to a conclusion. Francie wasn't expecting her back for a while so, I'll bring Syd back to my place.
The whole ride back to my house, well actually my apartment, I kept glancing back at Syd. My eyes would drift from the road to her often. I wondered what she would think of this when she woke up.
We reached my small apartment in no time. I first walked up to my apartment to unlock the door and open it. Then I walked back over to my car. I opened the back door and leaned in to pick Sydney up. At first she stirred but then when I had her in my arms she just adjusted herself to lean against my chest. I walked carefully, and slow in effort not to disturb her.
Once we got inside my apartment I kicked the door closed and managed to lock it. Sydney was shivering slightly from the cold, and so was I. I decided to put her down on the couch and then start a fire.
I laid her down carefully with her head on a pillow, and then covered with a blanket. I flipped the light switch in the kitchen on to give just the right amount of light in the house, but not enough to wake syd.
I walked over to the woodpile and grabbed a handful in my arms along with some matches that lay by the wood stack. I cautiously placed the wood inside the fireplace and lit the fire. It took a minute for the flame to catch on, but it did, and in no time there was a large blaze lighting the room.
'Now what to do what to do' I thought. I kicked off my shoes by the sofa. I tiptoed into the kitchen and started to look through the cabinets for what I was looking for. Finally, I came across it, a small bag of marshmallows, for such an occasion. I shut the light on my way back to where Sydney was. Now the small apartment was lit merely by the fire.
I grabbed a candle off of the coffee table in front of the couch and lit it. I placed the candle on the edge of the table and sat down by it. My back leaned against the couch, by Sydney's head. I could hear her breathing steadily still fast asleep. I stretched my legs out in front of me and put the bag of marshmallows on my lap.
I slowly opened the bag, careful to make minimal noise. I pulled one out and held it over the small candle flame. It slowly cooked until it turned a light shade of brown. My fingers were hot so I pulled my hand away from the flame. I danced the hot marshmallow between my hands and then finally put it in my mouth. It was nice and hot; it melted in my mouth. I never liked marshmallows much though, and already that one was making me feel sick. I decided that was enough and set the bag on the table and blew out the candle.
I took a deep breath and then turned around facing Sydney. I folded my arms on the edge of the couch to form a pillow and then rested my chin on them. I just watched Sydney so peacefully lay there asleep. A few minutes later she stirred a bit. She slowly opened her eyes and glanced around briefly. Then her glare ended back at me. I reached out and tucked a strand of hair that had fallen onto her face, behind her ear. We kept the gaze at each other and sat there in silence for a minute, then she spoke.
"Where am I?" She asked drowsily with a sigh.
I smiled briefly, "At my apartment." I was expecting a whole bunch of questions about why I had taken her here, and if it was safe but instead she nodded.
"Vaughn, I'm tired. I don't feel like talking now, can we talk tomorrow instead?"
I smiled at her, but her eyes were already closed and she was drifting off again. I brushed her hair with my hand and kissed her softly on her forehead, "Sure."
I decided that she would be more comfortable in my bed, and I could sleep on the couch for the night. I slowly got up. I moved towards the other end of the couch and pulled off Syd's shoes for her. I then picked her up once more in my arms. I kept my eyes on her for the small walk across the apartment to my bedroom. My door was open already, and the shades closed. I didn't bother to turn on the light. I strolled over to the bed. I carefully laid her down on the bed and pulled the sheets over her to keep her warm.
I stepped back a step and just watched her for a minute. She was so calm lying there. I then turned to leave when a hand grasped my wrist. I turned around slowly. My eyes were met by her soft ones as she whispered, "Stay, please."
I couldn't help the grin come over my face. She wanted me to get in bed with her! She scooted over in the bed slightly, not releasing my wrist. I walked closer to the bed and then crawled under the covers next to her. She stilled had my hand, she pulled it across her stomach as she rolled onto her side with me by her back. I could feel her breathing steady out as she fell asleep. Before I fully relaxed to sleep myself I whispered into her ear, "I love you." I kissed her cheek and then relaxed and fell asleep myself.
It was much easier to sleep with Sydney in bed with me. Her body heat kept me warm and her company kept me happy. I fell asleep quickly, and with a smile across my face.
*Do you like it? Hope you do. Next chapter will be up hopefully soon, but after that there will probably be a break. I have to do some last minute studying for my finals next week. LOL!
