-1Authors Note: Thank you guys for the reviews! I really appreciate it, I probably wouldn't have continued writing if I hadn't gotten such nice reviews. And as a little hint, there may be some drama coming up in the near future. :o)
"Nice room, very…" Sean paused, searching for the right word, "alternative." He smiled as he eyed up the posters of various bands on my walls. "How come all of these guys wear eyeliner? You better not have some sick, twisted fantasy about me wearing eyeliner because let me tell you, it's not going to happen." He teased, sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Sean Cameron in eyeliner, now that would definitely be interesting to see." I laughed, running my fingers through my hair to undo my braids. Grabbing a pair of dry shorts and a shirt I looked at Sean expectedly. He smirked and grabbed one of my pillows and put it over his face. "No peeking either." I said, changing as quickly as I could.
"Twenty bucks and I don't even get a peek." He laughed, waiting for me to finish. I hopped on the bed next to Sean, pulling the pillow away from his eyes to let him know that I was done. "Maybe next time though, right?" He asked, hitting me lightly with the pillow.
"Don't get your hopes up, Cameron." I then realized that his clothes were still soaked and he didn't have anything to change into. "Um, let me get you something to change into. I'm sure my dad has got something in his closet that you could wear." I grabbed a shirt from my dad's closet, being sure not to wake my mother, and hurried back to my room. "Here, this one should fit."
"Thanks. Here, no peeking either." He teased, handing me the pillow he had used to cover his eyes before. I grabbed it from him and hit him over the head with it before throwing it back on the bed. I crawled under the covers and sighed with relief, it had been a long day and I was just glad that it was over. Sean soon joined me on the bed after turning the lights off. I smiled as he grabbed one of my hands and laced his fingers through mine. "I owe you for letting me stay tonight." He said softly, pulling off his hat that he always wore.
"I think that you've got that backwards; I'd still be sitting out in the rain if you hadn't showed up." This was the honest truth, I probably would have stayed out there all night if Sean hadn't shown up.
"So, why were you out there in the first place? Why didn't you come to school today? I mean, I'm all for skipping but usually there's a reason." He said, running his finger over the healing cut on my hand. I rolled my eyes, he just had to go and ruin the moment. I pulled my hand away from his and turned over so I was no longer facing him.
"Why is the sky blue, Sean? It just is, okay? Now I'm really tired and I really don't feel like talking about this so again can we just drop this?" I heard him sigh heavily but I knew he was giving in to my request. I felt him wrap his arms around my waist and I blushed a little as our near bare legs brushed against one another. I turned back to face him, giving him an appreciative smile. He returned the smile, brushing some of my hair behind my ear before taking my hand in his again and this time I let him have it.
"I think we should do this more often." I nodded in agreement and closed my eyes, taking in everything. This was the best that I had felt in a long, long time. I never knew that I could feel this good, but when I was with him everything else seems to disappear and I was actually happy. I'd never felt this way about anybody before, but I liked it. It finally felt like somebody else needed me too. We fell asleep together, Sean's arms wrapped protectively around my body…
