Chapter 4-“This feels nice.”

We made our way to Gavin's bedroom, his parents were out of town so there was no need to be quiet. Not that we needed to there was a dead silence both of use a bit embarrassed about what just happened, "Since when is he this bold" I thought to myself. We made it to his door of which he opened up to show a surprisingly clean room I walked in keeping my hands to myself even if I wanted to look around "You can sleep in here, I'll take the couch." Gavin finally spoke. I grew flustered at the offer "It's fine, it is your bed after all I wouldn't want to take it. I'll just sleep on the couch!" It was in fact not fine as, fun fact, I have a fear of the dark. After some insisting Gavin helped me get some blankets to the couch we wished each other good night and went to our beds, if you could call mine that. After some time of being stressed out on the couch to afraid to look around, even if I could look around it was pitch black. I checked my phone it was 1 AM, has it really been that long? An idea popped into my head what if I went to Gavin's room, I'm sure he wouldn't mind.. NO I can't do that it's a stupid idea. But I really need to get to sleep. I finally mustered the courage to get up and make my way to him, I kept bumping into things it was annoying, and painful. After a good few minutes of trial and error I'm at his door, I slowly opened it trying not to wake him up, I open the door wide enough to see Gavin still wasn't asleep yet. I said his name not too loud "Gavin.." He turned to me, He looked worried "Are you ok?" Gavin cleared his throat I wonder what was going through his head when I saw his eyes slowly look me up and down. I felt my face get warm looking at him, he was shirtless I didn't let my eyes wonder "I couldn't sleep can I stay here?" I looked down so embarrassed why did I think this was a good idea?  My hair despite being short draped over my face, I was so hesitant but when I looked back up Gavin was right in front of me he had his hands right in front of me. Slowly I took his hand Gavin guided me to his bed, I felt like I shaking similar to a earthquake since when am I this nervous I was only ever this nervous with Gavin, it's stupid. I sat on the bed while Gavin started to walk away to go to the couch a impulse kicked in I grabbed his arm, Gavin turned to me the light of the post outside shinning in his eyes I muttered the words "Please stay.." I feel as if someone else took over, what if that was clingy it's been a year since you last talked why are you saying this to him. What's wrong with you? So many horrible things flushed my head but Gavin leaned towards me I could barely see him but I felt how close he was I usually hate when people get this close, yet this felt ok. What was about to happen? It's like Gavin read my mind when he said "Mind scooting over Bug?" he chuckled "Oh sorry.." I was still a bit tired "Don't be." I was suddenly less tired. I was facing the wall while Gavin faced the opposite way I could hear my heart beating I wonder if he could hear it too. "Hey Bug? Does this mean were friends again?" His voice felt so hypnotizing, is this even a good idea? Before the thought was finished my mouth spoke with a mind of its own "Yes. It does." I miss him how could I not say yes, it felt almost clear he misses me just as much. I felt how warm he was I had the need to turn and face him, so I did. To my surprise Gavin was looking right back "Oh I'm sorry!" I began to turn back but something stopped me it was Gavin's hand on my waist "It's fine, don't worry." Someone got bold since I last saw him, Gavin's hand didn't leave my waist. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for what I said and for anything I did and I want to prove that to you." I didn't know what to say but something finally came into my head, I brought my hand to his cheek and spoke softly yet stern "Then prove it to me." Gavin pulled me closer his body against mine the skin that was reveled from my lifted shirt made contact with his shirtless body, he hugged me and whispered into my ear "I promise I'll make everything ok." I hugged Gavin so tightly it felt so nice to be held like this.  We fell asleep in each others arms the hours passed so quickly only sweet dreams played in my head. The next morning came and the sun came through the window on a sweet Saturday morning, I felt something on my chest it was Gavin who was fast asleep with soft breaths hitting me gently making my heart flutter I sighed in relieve happy to know it wasn't a dream. I couldn't help but admire how he looked, I drifted back to sleep being so comfortable with his arms arounds me and mine around him I whispered three words before drifting to sleep "This feels nice." I snuggled closer.
