Chapter 23

Sian pov

After I got dressed I wanted to get out of my room and go to Sophie's a quickly as possible. As I opened the door I bumped into to Kathy who was just entering the room.

"Fuck sakes Sian, you move around like one of those rabbits out of a Duracell publicity" Kathy whined.

"Yeah, sorry" I said as I was about to exit my room.

"Let me guess your gonna see Sophie. You know if that girl has you running down hallways, she's has got you whipped" she sniggered.

"I'm not whipped" I snapped.

"Really, so if I were to tell you she was looking for you, you wouldn't run as fast as you could to know why" she stated.

"uggh" I groaned as her smile grew bigger.

"I don't know what to do Kathy" I said sitting down on my bed.

"What do you mean, you like her, she likes you so that equals mutual feelings and will probably lead to some messing around on her bed probably naked." She said as my eyes grew wide.

"Okay thanks for the equation professor" I smirked. "I just…." I sighed.

"What" she asked softly.

"Half of the time I feel like my legs are going to fall off and the other half I just want to kiss her. I have a fucking ant population in my stomach, my hands are sweating and I'm breathing like I'm running a marathon." I blurted out. "So what's your diagnosis doctor" I joked.

"That you're supposed to feel that" she smiled.

"No, no that's not it, I… I've been in love before this is totally different. I feel like a bloody idiot, scared I might say something stupid and at the same time I've never felt safer in my life" I said running my hands through my hair.

"Babes, you just really got it bad." She stated as I smiled shyly.

"I just normally don't do that kind of stuff…. You know running down the halls, waking up and first thing I'm thinking about is her. Fuck it drives me crazy, she drives me" I stated.

"Isn't that a good thing" she said.

"Suppose" I mumbled. "It's just scares the shit out of me" I thought.

"Then go and get her instead of whining to me on what's she's doing to you, cause trust me what you're feeling is a GOOD thing. okay." She almost shouted at me.

I nodded and got up. When I knocked on Sophie's door there was no reply. "That's odd" I thought as I entered. I saw her sitting by her desk reading a book while listening to her iPod.

"Hey beautiful" I said as I pulled off her headphone. She jumped slightly when she heard my voice.

"Hey" she smiled and pecked my lips as I wrapped my arms around her shoulders.

"What ya doing" I said as I rested my head on her shoulder looking at the book she was reading.

"Oh nothing interesting, just reading" she said as she closed the book. 'Alice in wonderland' it said.

"Didn't know you liked children stories" I said softly.

"Yeah well, Matty got me back into them" she smiled as I held her tight and kissed her shoulder.

"I'm sorry babe, I shouldn't have asked" I said.

"Why you didn't know, besides we can talk about him you know. I'm not gonna break down every time his name is mentioned." She smirked as she turned around and got up embracing me in a hug.

"Yeah, I know it's just…. I know it makes you sad… so" I said to her.

"Not all the time, it's nice to remember him you know" she said kissing my neck. "Come on, enough with the heavy stuff let's go to the living room and do something" she said playfully.

"Do something ay" I said raising an eyebrow.

"Behave" she laughed slapping my arm playfully.

…

We had been playing monopoly for about an hour now. I got on one of her hotel spots. "Shit" I thought.

She smirked. "Come on, pay up" she said cheekily.

"Can't I get like a girlfriend discount or summit" I pouted.

"No" she laughed.

"You're a real gold-digger you know that" I said handing her the fake cash.

"I am not" she said acting offended as she made her way over to me.

"You so are" I said as she climbed onto my lap.

"Take it back" she said, her lips were only inches away as I put my hands on her hips.

I shook my head. "Take it back" she kept repeating as she was getting closer to my lips. I could feel her breath on my lips. Then suddenly out of nowhere she started tickling me. I squealed as we both ended up on the floor.

"All right, all right I TAKE IT BACK" I laughed gasping for air as she was straddling me.

"You surrender?" she said as I nodded.

"Good" she said as she leaned in to kiss me. I snaked my hand around her waist and pulled her down.

As we heard the door open, Sophie jumped of me. It was Gertie, thankfully she didn't see anything.

"What are you two doing down there" she asked.

"I uhh I lost a piece of the game and Soph was helping look for it" I said quickly.

"Right, well Dr. Wittmore wants to see you both after dinner" she stated.

…

Sophie pov

"Sophie, Sian why don't you take a seat. Sian I hear Sophie's been talking to you" he bluntly said to her. He was talking to her as if I wasn't there. I really wanted to shout "Uhh hello! I'm sitting right here!" I thought.

"Uhm yeah, she has" she said looking at me nervously.

"Good, well I'm considering putting you in the same room. I think it would be productive for you Sophie" he said as he finally looked at me.

I could see Sian was trying to hide her excitement by rubbing her hands together.

"But I wanted your opinions on the matter first. So what I'm asking is would you mind sharing a room with Sophie, Sian?" he asked her as she shook her head a little too quickly.

"And what about you Sophie?" I didn't move. I started chuckling when I saw the shock on Sian's face. I started nodding.

"Yes you do mind or." I frowned and shook my head. "Fuck sakes is the light on in his brain" I thought.

"Okay, well that's settled then. You can swap rooms tonight" he happily said to Sian as he led us out of his office.

…

She entered my room with the last pile of clothes. "Right well that's it, thanks for helping me Gertie" she said to Gertie as Gertie nodded.

"Right, well I've discussed things over with Dr. Wittmore, and he agrees. There will be consequences if I catch two doing something inappropriate. I' m trusting you both okay" Gertie smiled as she closed the door.

Sian let out a squeal and rushed over to me. She hugged me tightly. "I can't believe I'll be able to wake up to you every single day" she said as I was inhaling her scent.

"Yeah, but we've got to be careful with Gertie" I said pulling out of the hug. "I don't want another scare like I did this afternoon" I said as she was smiling.

"You do know you're grinning like someone who just smoked 10 pounds of pot right" I smirked at her.

"Oi" she said slapping my arm. "Don't try and hide it Sophie Webster, I can see the excitement in your eyes" she said as she put her arms behind my neck and kissed me sweetly on the lips.

….

I opened up my eyes and saw that her lamp was still on. "Sian" I croaked out. I saw her writing something.

I got out of bed and walked across the room. "Babe, what are you…." I started asking as I saw her put away the book she was writing in quickly.

"Hey, I thought you went to sleep ages ago" she said as she opened her duvet for me to go in.

"Yeah I did. Sian what were you writing down" I asked her as she swallowed hard.

"Nothing" she said quickly with a high pitch voice as I raised an eyebrow

I started smiling. "Tell me" I pouted as we both started giggling.

"All right but don't laugh, 'cause its embarrassing okay." She said as she pulled out… a diary?

"A diary. You keep a diary" I asked.

"Yeah, I didn't want to at first, but it kind of helps now" she said as I looked at her confused.

"When I first arrived here, they made me keep a diary. Like some sort of way to get my thoughts, feelings and stuff out" she said as I smiled.

She leaned in and kissed me softly. I kissed her back as I was stroking her arm. It soon got more passionate when Sian pushed me down onto the bed. God I love this feeling she's giving me. I've known I liked her a lot for ages, but I think I love her. No I know I love her. I pulled her down gliding my tong on her bottom lips as she opened her mouth. Our tongs were battling as I felt her hands roaming all over my body. She broke the kiss. "God I love you" I breathed against her lips.

I opened my eyes, as I saw her staring at me in shock. "Yyou do" she stuttered.

"Uhm yeah" I replied. She didn't say anything "O god she doesn't feel the same" I thought

"I…" she croaked out as I sat up.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that" I said as I got out of her bed.

"Soph" she said quietly.

"I think I'm going to bed, its late goodnight Sian" I said as I lay my head on my pillow. I was holding in the tears that were dying to come out. But I wouldn't let them; I won't let her see me this way. I sniffed quietly so she wouldn't hear me.

She put out the light as I heard a small sniff. "Must've imagined it" I thought as I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
