I stared at the ceiling. Sleep wouldn't come to me. I tried hard to fall
into sleep but, I couldn't stop thinking about Fulton and I. A
relationship. All the "what ifs," and Hims and Hers that swarmed in my mind
wouldn't let me rest.
After an hour of just staring upwards I looked towards the clock. It was one a.m. and I'd been trying to fall asleep for the past three hours. I finally settled on going to Fulton's room, maybe he could help me fall asleep.
I climbed out of my bed, wearing my boxers, t-shirt and socks; I wrapped my blanket around me. I walked over to where Adam still lay asleep and I turned his alarm clock off. He always had it set for eight a.m. on the weekends but he looked like he needed his rest. In the morning he'll think he forgot to turn it on.
I moved towards the door, being careful not to trip on my blanket, and I but my hand on the knob. I looked back in the room and just made sure Adam could see my note when he woke up.
Dear Banksie,
Went to Fulton's room to "party." Couldn't sleep. See you in the morning.
~Charlie~
I twisted the knob and walked out of my room, making sure my blanket was with me before shutting the door. I walked down the hall to where Fulton's room was. He was the only freshman to get a single dorm because he refused to room with anyone but Portman and I and I had wanted to room with Adam.
I knocked lightly on the door and heard him rustling around inside before opening the door to come face to face with me. "Charlie? Hey, is something wrong?" He asked me opening the door wider.
I walked in and after he shut the door I kissed him. I just couldn't sleep." I said sitting on his bed.
"How long have you been awake for?" He asked me. He sat next to me as close as he could, wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder.
"It's been a few hours. I'm sorry if I woke you." I said having noticed the wrinkled covers and the sleepy look in his eyes.
"No, it's okay. Do you want to sleep with me?" Fulton asked sincerely.
"Fulton, I didn't know you did that on the first date." I joked laughing along with him. "But, yes, I would like to sleep with you in the literal sense." I said and took my blanket off of myself.
I climbed into his bed and made myself warm under his covers. He slid in next to me and faced me. He kissed me, said good night and made himself comfortable on my chest. His head rest over my heart with his arm draped across my stomach.
I immediately felt at home with him. My eyes suddenly became droopy and I slowly drifted off to sleep, Fulton swimming in my every dream.
