Secondhand Memories (Pioneer English Cell Phone Novel)

Awakening

Chapter 865

Awakening

The pitch black
of the inside of my eyelids
didn't last very long.

Or so I thought.

I had lost track of time.
How long had it been?

Chapter 866

Awakening

It was painful to open my eyes,
like they had been glued shut.
They protested against the light,
streaming in through my eyelashes.

No, let us sleep more, they said.

I would be willing to comply,
the blissful comfort
surrounding me was tempting.

Yet, wasn't it time to leave?

Chapter 867

Awakening

I groaned
and with much effort,
forced my eyes apart,
throwing light into the depths of my soul.
What seemed like sunlight filtered through,
its cheerful golden beams,
a powerful epiphany,
too jubilant for my eyes.

With the return of my sight,
it was enough to bring me to my senses.

The blissful comfort suspending me
on a cushion of gentle caress
wasn't enough to keep me.

Where was I?

Sluggish thoughts
were slow to decipher
the world around me.

But it was enough to realize
that I was not alone.

Chapter 868

Awakening

Sudden realization dawned on me.

A strand of golden brown hair
dancing on my neck.
The hot silky warmth against my skin.
My numb arm tingling with a thousand pins.

Stirring beside me, up and down,
in a placid subdued rhythm.

The scent of orchids and mango.

Chapter 869

Awakening

I tried to sit up, wildly,
cranking my head up,
leaping off towards the ceiling.

But I couldn't move.
My arm was pinned.

I twisted so I could see.

Maybe I shouldn't have.
Maybe I should've just gone back to sleep.
And awaken from the dream
at another place, another time.

For a moment,
I could only hear breathing.
And the pounding of my heart.

Chapter 870

Awakening

"Mmm.."

A sound directly next to me,
right against my chest.

It sent a flurry of sparks
along my spine,
threatening to swallow
my foggy mind.

She moved,
her bare skin,
smoothly
sliding
against
mine.
