Chapter 8- Falling
(Coryn's POV)
As I lied on the bed, I listened to the rain. It had slowed down considerably in the last couple hours to a soft drizzle. I had tried to fall asleep, but it was nearly impossible, being I was in Chase's house. I really liked him. When I kissed his cheek earlier, I found myself wishing I could kiss him on the lips. I sighed. I needed to get a hold of myself.
Because I had been lying there for multiple hours, I was getting really bored, and sleep was just out of my reach. I wondered if Chase was awake or not. I decided, though, to get some water very quietly, just to have something to do. I knew I needed to be really ninja-like so I wouldn't wake Chase up.
I slowly got up and crept on my tiptoes to the door, and turned the handle cautiously. The door creaked a bit as I opened it, and I flinched. I peeked out and saw Chase's silhouette on the couch, his chest falling up and down slowly. He was asleep. I walked out and continued tiptoeing towards the kitchen area, getting a cute little mug with '#1 Cook' on the side out from the cabinet. I giggled softly when I saw what it said. I set it down on the counter carefully, making only a small clinking noise. Then I filled it with some water from a jug in his fridge.
I took a quick sip and started walking back to the door. I stopped halfway there to look back at Chase's sleeping form. I walked towards the couch for some reason, looking at him intently. He was so handsome. His messy hair was lying across his face, and I leaned closer and pushed some of the loose strands away. Then, before I knew it, I was kissing him lightly. I realized what I was doing and quickly pulled back. I was feeling kind of conflicted- did I want him to wake up or not? He didn't. I sighed in relief.
I then quickly ran/tiptoed back to Chase's bedroom and got back into bed. I felt so embarrassed. I really hadn't meant to kiss him, but as I had looked at his peaceful face, I felt my head kind of go fuzzy. I was definitely falling for him. I really wish I had enough courage to tell him. I wish he had woken up when I kissed him so he could realize I liked him. Things in my life were never simple.
After a while, I finally fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning a little confused as to where I was. Then I realized I was in Chase's house, in his bedroom. When I remembered about last night, how I'd kissed him when he was defenseless, I felt embarrassed all over again. I felt like I had harassed him or something. I chuckled under my breath. I was spazzing a bit too much.
I put my now dry clothes back on (I'd been wearing Chase's hoodie and some sweats) and walked out of the bedroom.
Chase was standing next to the window, staring outside like he was focusing on something. His face looked really serious. Then he turned, noticing me and blushing a bit as he whispered,
"Good morning, Coryn."
