Where The Sage Shrubs Grow,

Chapter 47

Sage's POV:
I felt two arms push me onto the bed, and I landed with a gentle thud onto the mattress. The other person climbed on top of me with his arms on either side of my head, his hips between my legs, and a mischievous smirk playing on his lips. A blur of freckles and fiery red hair invaded my vision as he leaned down, connecting our lips.

He kissed me with passionate, open mouthed kisses, his lips were like fire spreading warmth through my whole body. He sat up breaking our kiss giving us each a moment to breathe. I admired his shirtless appearance, with his toned arms and chest covered in freckles. His hands traveled down to the hem of my shirt gently lifting it, his hand brushed my side. It felt like fire sending shivers up my spine.

He gently lifted the shirt over my head leaving me in a bra and his pajama pants that I was wearing. Leaning down he continued his kisses, traveling from my mouth, to my jaw, to leaving hickeys all over my neck and shoulder, searching for my sweet spot. He found it fairly quickly and I let out small moans as he continued biting and kissing the area.

I started squirming under him as my back arched into his chest.
"Lay still darling. If you keep acting this needy I'm going to leave you here." He pushed my hips back down
Once he felt he had left enough hickeys on my neck he leaned up, pinning both my hands above my head with one hand and roughly cupping my face with the other. He looked at me intensely with a smirk still etched on his face as he began grinding his hips on mine. I let out a whimper accompanied by a moan at the sudden friction.

"Tell me what you want Darling." He ordered as he forced me to look him in the eye

"SAGE, wake up!" Hallie shouted

I jolted awake, quickly sitting up and hitting my head on the top bunk. I fell back down into the pillows holding onto my head, as Hallie laughed hysterically at me.

I took a moment to gather myself and fully register the fact that what just happened was a dream and that I was actually in my dorm, probably with a bruise on my forehead.
"Get up idiot, you need to get ready." Hallie rolled her eyes
I dragged myself out of bed and to the bathroom to get dressed and freshen up. I put on my uniform, took my medicine, fixed my hair, brushed my teeth, I did all the things. I also decided to wear my vinyl record earrings to add something more interesting to my uniform.

Once I felt I was ready for the day I left the bathroom and started getting my bag together.
"So, what were you dreaming about last night?" Hallie smirked
I could feel my cheeks heating up upon remembering my dream about Fred "I-I don't know what you're talking about. What would make you ask that?" I laughed nervously
"Ok, if you weren't dreaming then what was up with all those noises you were making?" Hallie interrogated
"I- um talk in my sleep?" I said trying to come up with something
"No you don't. What were you dreaming about?" She inched her way over to me
I hate that your best friend can always tell when you're lying.
"Woah hey, look at the time!" I exclaimed looking at the clock on the wall
I grabbed my book bag and rushed out of the room, practically running to the great hall trying to avoid Hallie for as long as possible.

Once I felt safe I leaned against the wall in front of the great hall, trying to compose myself before I went in.
"Why are we running?" Fred whispered from behind me
I jumped, gasping while turning around to face him. Seeing his face brought back my dream again and my cheeks started heating up again.
"N-nothing!" I stammered

Fred looked at me skeptically "Are you feeling alright? Your cheeks are red, are you running a fever?"
He pressed his hand to my forehead trying to tell if I was sick or not. Every touch from him sent me back into my dream causing me to get more and more flustered "I'm fine Fred." I batted his hand away
"Welp! Gotta go eat quick so I can get to class on time!" I squeaked trying to get away
"Your first class isn't for another three hours." Fred pointed out
"You know I'm not really hungry! I'm going to go study in the library. You stay here and wait for George. I'll catch up with you guys later!" I rushed out of the hall and ran to the library

I went into the library only to find Clementine and Harry studying together. I knew if she saw me she would ask what was wrong. So I left, I carefully snuck round and made it back to my dorm unnoticed. I laid on the floor until it was time for me to get to class, trying to forget about my dream.

Luckily I managed to stuff my feelings down and act normal and Hallie was too busy with her boyfriend to ask any more about what I was dreaming about.

I finally made it to dinner where Clementine unloaded all of her boy problems.
"It's like he hates me one second, then loves me the next." Clementine held her head in her hands
I listened intently to her struggling, while Hallie was staring love struck at Karl.
"Earth to Hallie." I said snapping her out of her trance
"What?" She looked at me
"Are you going to eat? Or are you just going to sit there and stare at your boyfriend?"
"He is not my boyfriend." She scoffed
"Oh yeah cause none of us saw you two snogging in the courtyard. That was just a fever dream right?" I rolled my eyes
"Shut up."

"You two are lucky you have perfect relationships with your boyfriends." Clementine slouched picking at her food
"Honey, I'm not even in a relationship. At least you and Hallie are actually getting somewhere." I pointed out
"Yeah I guess that's a good point." Clementine mumbled
"And you never know, me and Karl could fight any time. We just recently made up." Hallie commented
"More like made out." I coughed
"Oh my- will you shut up!" Hallie smacked me in the face with the tassels from the end of her scarf

Clementine continued talking about Darius, I didn't really hear what she said cause I was too busy having a petty argument with Hallie. We weren't paying attention at all.
