He learned that I would give anything to have been able to see Elvis in concert.
I learned he hates concerts because of all the people there.
And then I asked him why he played football if he hated large groups.
He smirked at me and said that he would only get penalized lightly for knocking someone away from him. And at a concert, he’d go to jail for assault.
I hadn’t realized that I had closed my eyes, not until I felt myself being moved.
“What’s going on?” I asked sleepily.
I felt a hard chest against my ear, and it rumbled with a chuckle, “You fell asleep sweetheart, it's almost midnight, and my soon-to-be woman told me I could stay as long as I wanted as long as I got a good night’s sleep.”
“Okay, but why are you carrying me?” I asked him.
I felt his body tense, “I wasn’t going to leave you on your couch.”
I shook my head and felt sleep starting to claim me once again, then I felt myself being lowered onto my bed. Sleepily I whispered, “Thank you, Daemon.”
Then I felt the gentlest of touches from his lips on my forehead, “I'll lock up. Sweet dreams, sweetheart.”
I nodded and then didn’t realize I had leaned my forehead into that kiss, when I said, “Text me that you made it home, okay?”
With his lips still against my forehead he whispered, “Okay.”
And did I stay up until I got that text? Yes, I did.
Daemon – Made it home, gorgeous. Night.
Thankfully, it was only ten minutes because the next thing I knew, I was fast asleep.
Chapter 8
Daemon
After I made it home that night and sent her a text, with my stomach full of good food, and those fucking cookies, I had fallen asleep, and slept some of the best sleep of my life.
Aliyah and I had texted all day yesterday, and I knew she was resetting for the week, and doing laundry, so I had taken the initiative to do the same thing. And it felt great, believe it or not.
When I woke up that following Monday morning, I had a pep in my step, one that I’d never felt before.
And I got grades on a few things I had turned in and they were fucking high.
And… I got to see Aliyah tomorrow in our classes.
I would have made it work today somehow, but today was going to be a late practice, and I didn’t want to give them only a part of me. No, I wanted to give them all of me.
I had just finished my last class of the day when I found myself walking in a direction I’d never gone before.
And then I saw it. I crossed my arms and smiled at them.
I stood there as I watched, enraptured, as she picked Crew up, spun him around, and then pressed a kiss to his cheek.
The two of them giggled, and I swear to Christ, I felt that giggle deep in my soul.
I felt like a jealous bastard.
I couldn’t explain it.
