Ch. 17 Back to My Point of View

In the midst of the blackness, I felt warmth and comfort. As if someone was holding me close like a charm.

I heard a strong, consistent heartbeat that wasn't mine.

My hair felt like it was being moved slowly, like a breeze.

'What is this feeling? It feels surreal.' I thought as I blushed profusely and smiled.

I felt my eyes open a little, and then I was back to reality.

I was evidently sleeping on someone's chest, and they were stroking my hair.

I looked up slowly, and saw that Martinus was the one I was sleeping on, and he was also the one who was stroking my hair!!!

I blushed profusely and thought, 'OMG! WHAT IF I ROLLED ONTO HIM IN MY SLEEP!! OH NO!! I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE!!'

"Uh, uhhhhhh...Martinus...I'm sorry for anything I did in my sle-" I tried to say but he hushed me.

"Little flower, you did nothing wrong."

I blushed even harder, and hid my face in my hands.

He put his hand to my face, lifted my face to his, and said, " You are so bashful."

I tried to hide my face with my hands again, but he stopped me.

"I've already seen you blush in your sleep, and I would like to continue seeing you like this. "

"Wha-what?!" I said with my cheeks flaring.

He held my head in one hand up against his chest.

'Th-that heartbeat is the same one from earlier!! 😳' I thought, realizing that I really HAD been sleeping on Martinus.

I slowly remembered the whole Siah situation that had happened earlier, and Brody making me pass out.

"Um...what happened to Siah and Brody?" I asked.

He answered, " Brody took Siah to the infirmary because he was ice cold." and then he brushed some of my hair out of the way, leaned over a little, and kissed the top of my forehead.

I hid my face, and blushed as hard as humanly possible.

He said, "Sorry, I couldn't resist."

"I...erm...I didn't know you...could be...like this." I said as my cheeks felt like fire.

"There's a lot of things people don't know about their idol." he smiled.

Then he said, "You can go back to sleep if you like. Ive been a comfortable pillow, right?"

"No, no. It's been rude enough of me to use you as a pillow anyway. But since I've regained consciousness, we should go check on Siah. " I said as I sat up.

"Siah will be fine, and you never rolled onto me in your sleep." Martinus said as if he read my mind. "You were cold too, so I put you in a blanket and snuggled with you. "

'So it wasn't my fault, and it was for my health. Phew!' I thought relieved.

Realizing his legs were crossed around my thighs, I couldn't get up.

He sat up, and hugged me close from behind.

I said, " Martinus, we need to go check on Siah!!"

I struggled to get up from his grasp, but he flipped me over on my back on the couch, and hovered over top of me.

He grabbed my wrists to make sure I couldn't move, leaned in close to my face and-BAMM!!!

The front door of the dorm slammed shut, and I couldn't see over the couch who was stomping inside.

'Whoever they are they're getting closer! 😣' I thought in fear.

They walked to the side of the couch where I could see them.

I looked up, and there was Siah standing tall and he had a look of fierce anger on his face.

He grabbed Martinus with one hand and pulled him off of me.
