Chapter 8 · Eyes
I walked up to the door and opened it just a crack.
"Can I come in now?" Zoey asked. I nodded and opened the door fully.
Slowly she walks over and sat by the bed and patted the sheets next to her. She seemed to have taken off the suit and replaced it with some purple cotton pyjamas.
"Come sit here. Please," she asked quietly while smiling and pulling out the small tin pot.
I hobble over on my dead weight legs and fell next to her. I looked up at her as she removed the lid from the pot. Inside a red jam looking like liquid sat. It smelt like strawberry almost. She applied some to her fingers and then turned to look at me.
"This might sting a bit." She explained while moving her hand to my face.
Her hand was soft as she added the gel to my face. At first, I flinched when she moved toward me. But slowly I grew to like it. I didn't realise how close I was to her until I open my eyes to see her golden amber eyes and warm lips next to mine.
I look at her. I hadn't felt like this in forever. It had been almost three years since I had come out of my flat and even longer since I had been this close to someone. My cheeks burn with heat.
She looked back at me and smoothly whispered "I don't know why you wanted to... do it. End it. But I want you to know that I will not let anyone I know let themselves go like that. I've already lost someone that way and it won't happen again. Any time you want to talk I'm here."
With that, she sat up and walk to the over the side of the bed with a swing to her step.

"Now," clapping her hands together while declaring " you will sleep there and if you need me I will be right next to you."
And with that, she turns the light off and went to bed. I was still sitting there with my mouth open and cheeks blazing. Slowly I pull the cover out and lay down next to her.
My heart was beating faster. I stayed as still as I could. I could smell her sweet ash scent. I could feel her breathing next to me.
I had never felt like this. My mouth was dry. Wait. Was I gay? I slowly turn to look next to me to see her long hair. I'd had crushes on boys when I was growing up and this was like that times ten.
"I... um. Thank you" I stammered.
I looked at her too see her already fast asleep. So she was one of those people. I felt my heart still hamming away. At least it can't get worse I thought as my head rested on the pillow. This was a tomorrow my problem.
I couldn't breathe. I felt crushed under something. All was dark. I tried to reach out with my hands to find Zoey lying on top of me. Her chest was lying across me and her head was next to mine.
I could feel her breath. And her red hair tickled my nose. I couldn't move her off me. Dam these weak arms and my useless body. Unlike hers. I could feel the sleek muscled arms wrapped around me like I was a teddy bear. Her shirt was raised up and I could see a slim body that had the start of a six pack form.
Dam it. I wasn't going to get any sleep like this my body is boiling. I tried to close my eyes and sleep. Later then I would have liked I fell asleep.
That was likely why I didn't see the dark green eyes looking at me from the Window.
