Imagine Us

Chapter 23: True Colours?

Caiden offered to take our plates down which was very kind of him. 

We got into the elevator together. We each leaned on the walls, as usual.

"About last night, I remember everything." He scoffs in amusement. "See? I was nowhere near drunk."

"Is that so? What was the last thing I said?"

"You said yeeeah. Right after I asked if you were sure you weren't sleepy. You knocked out just like that."

I chuckled. "And you?"

"I was pretty much right after." He scoffs.

"Ohh so you didn't umm, wake up at all after that?" I was crossing my fingers. 

"What do you mean?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Well you know, did anything that you know of happen?" I said rather nervously.

He thought to himself for a bit then raised his eyebrows. He then smirked and started laughing a little. 

"Oh, I know what you mean."

"Huh?" I looked at him nervously.

"You falling asleep on me?" He smirks at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked away. "I wouldn't say that. It was just an accident."

"Probably. Orrr you decided my shoulder was just really comfortable."

I looked back at him and he was still smirking. Amusing yourself, Caiden?

"Hey. I was asleep, okay?" I growled.

"And I was half awake."

"Oh my God, no way you were." He nodded slowly while still maintaining his devilish smirk. "Then...you should have just pushed me off or woken me up or something." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Why should I? You're lucky your head is comfortable."

I tried to conceal my smile as hard as I could so I looked away and shook my head.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

My stomach...felt weird. It was so uncomfortable but all the fluttering sent shockwaves throughout my body. I sighed quietly.

The elevator door finally slid open. It's so slow, oh my goodness.

Of course.

We arrived at the common room where the three boys were staring us down and smirking. 

I tried to ignore it the best I could. I stopped in my tracks, gave them a faint smile and went to the bathroom. I locked the door and held onto the edge of the sink. I took a few deep breaths. I then started jumping around like a mad man, trying to get rid of the butterflies. What was this feeling? It was so icky and strange. I mentally slapped myself and looked in the mirror. "Get a hold of yourself, Alexandria. Don't be fooled. Don't be stupid." I regained my calmness.

I then undressed and stepped into the hot shower.

I closed my eyes and let the hot water run down the side of my neck. 

A subtle moan escaped my lips and then a smile.

I sat on the couch in the living room to read my book as it began to rain.

Chase flops onto the ouch opposite me.

I stare at him then blink twice in confusion. "Hello."

"Sup." He stares at me.
