Enchantress

Chapter - 6

Stacy Nicole's POV :

Comfortable. Rock-soft. Specific cologne. This is what I feel. I stirred in my sleep an felt even more comfortable. " Umm, this pillow is so royal good and comfy ". With this thought, I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked my eyes once, twice, thrice to adjust myself to the morning sunshine. The surrounding looked unfamiliar and it wasn't my dorm.

" If it wasn't my dorm, then what am I hugging?. Definitely not my pillow or Jen !". This thought brought back the memories of last night. " Fuck, I am still in the hospital ".

I slowly withdraw my head from the person I was leaning on. My eyes couldn't wide open more than this and I came back to my senses. I am so screwed up. It is Mr. Grumpy Peterson whom I was leaning on the whole night and not only that, my one hand is circled around us arm and my other hand is intertwined with his fingers. He is holding my fingers tightly as if I would run away in the middle of the night. I slowly tried to retrive my hands from his but his grip was too tight. I lifted my head up to meet is eyes. He's still sleeping with parted lips and narrowed eyebrows. " Even in sleep he looks grumpy! ". He was leaning on the wall beside him and was in deep sleep.

" Hello, Mr. Grumpy !. Wake up !". I slowly yelled at him in my morning voice and shake him a bit. He stirred in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes. He then looked at me and his eyes mine. He sat straight and his eyes roamed here and there and again he locked his eyes with mine.

" Good morning, Miss. Devil. When did you wake up ?". He spoke in his sleepy low voice with his fingers still intertwined with mine.

I didn't answer him or greet him back. I lowered my eyes to our fingers and his gaze followed mine. Ss soon as he saw our fingers being glued together, he quickly withdrew his hand from mine. He cleared his throat and looked everywhere but me.

" What did you try last night? Why did you made me lay on your shoulders and why were you holding my hands like that ?". I questioned him accusingly and crossed my arms on my chest.

" Seriously Miss. Nicole ?. We are in hospital and you really think I would try to do something with you when you were asleep ?". He shook his head in disbelief  I sat there casually and didn't answer him. Then he spoke again.

" Let me clear you one thing. I am not any pervert who would try to take advantage of an sleeping women. You were the one who pulled me by my arm and laid on my shoulders. I didn't push you off because I felt pity on you. And I have no idea about when you intertwined your damn finger's with mine ". He explained in a rough tone and walked away from me to Jen's hospital room.

I laughed at his disappearing figure because I definitely knew that it was me who hugged him by his arms. This is my sleeping habit and Jen would always complain the same about me. I followed him to check on Jen. When I entered the room, I saw Jen being dressed on her wounds by an nurse. As soon as she saw me, she lifted both of her hands for a hug. My worries, pain, fear, headache everything flew away as soon as I saw her awake and alive. I immediately ran to her and embraced her into a tight hug. She smiled softly and that's when a lone tear escaped my eyes.

" Geez, Stan. Your squeezing me ". She tried to push me away and giggled.

" I'm sorry. Did i hurt you ?". I asked her worriedly. I didn't mean to hurt her."

" No. I was kidding. I'm alright stan. Don't worry "  she assured me and I felt relieved.

" You almost took my breathe away last night Jen. All I want to say is I'm so sorry. Sorry for all the mess I dragged you into ". I apologized and sat beside her silently. I felt guilty and I couldn't meet her eyes. She crossed for arms with mine and giave a kiss on my cheeks . This small gesture of her made me feel relaxed.
