Tenacious Sky

Chapter 23

Getting back to the dorms, I unpacked my bag and took a shower before getting ready for bed. I

climbed into the loft ready to set my alarm when Leo came out of the bathroom in his pajamas.

"Do you have swim in the morning tomorrow?" I asked.

"No, we normally won't have it on Monday mornings, but you have practice tomorrow, so go straight All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

there when it's time After class. I think my practice runs longer than yours, so whoever finishes first will

just go to the other gym," he said as he ruffled his damp hair with a towel. He froze when he say where

I was.

"What are you doing up there?" He asked. I poked my head out of the loft window to look at him.

"About to go to bed," I answered confused.

"You said you'd sleep with me," he reminded me. The innuendo made me blush. I'd forgotten all about

that.

"Right," I muttered. I grabbed my phone and charger before climbing down. I climbed over the bed to

plug in my charger and set my phone on the bedside table. Luckily these were at least full sized beds

instead of twin sized beds. I climbed under the covers as Leo turned the lights off. When he was safely

in the bed, I turned the lamp off. I was hyper aware of our limited space on the smaller bed. We didn't

touch and he even slept over the blanket. I still laid straight and tried not to fidget.

"Don't think too much, you're just a living dreamcatcher. we've already done this twice already. There's

no difference. Plus, you'll probably end up wrapped around me like a snake in the morning anyway.

Just get comfortable," he joked. I smiled before I relaxed. He was right. The two times we slept in the

same bed, I'd somehow end up almost right on top of him.

"Goodnight," I said sleepily. Falling asleep next to him was easy.

The next day, it was harder not to just stare at Leo as we went around together. The weekend trip felt

like it changed our relationship somehow. Neither one of us mentioned my drunken kiss again, but it

still lingered in the back of my mind. During class, everyone talked about what they did over the

weekend. I felt like if I talked, I would slip up, so I stayed quiet. As soon as it was time for lunch, we

headed to the cafeteria. I sat and picked at my food deep in thought.

"Whats on your mind?" Leo asked before taking a bite of his food.

"I was just thinking... you should make more friends. And I was trying to think of a way to help you with

your start," I admitted.

"Sky," Easton said as he sat down next to me and slung an arm over my shoulders. Leo's laser eyes

could've put Easton six feet under. Easton glanced at Leo before sighing.

"Ah, right. 'Don't touch my kid.' That's what you say, right?" Easton said before going for his food. Leo

nodded once before going back to his meal. I leaned in closer to him.

"Make friends," I whispered to him.

"I don't want to," he muttered without looking up from his food. I sighed before going back to my own

food with a slump. Leo squeezes my arm gently before giving me a small almost unnoticeable smile. I

would let it go for now. After lunch, Leo and I finally parted ways to go to our practices. I was so excited

and nervous.
