Chapter Twelve

It’s well past eleven p soundly beside me and I don’t move, instead I watch him for a little while My white sheets are rolled down to his hips, exposing all of his muscles and his tattoos I’ve never wanted a tattoo They’ve always seemed so dirty to me, but they compliment Seth His face is free of any extreme emotion, he looks so peaceful and I want to touch his beautiful face, but don’t I’d hate to wake hihten insidethis rooled together in a big ball of recent sex on ether, I reach under my bed and pull outat the wallpaper of Blade and I I really need to change it… and I do I change it to a picture of a kitten trying to eat a huge ball of wool It’s cute

I switched onand I can’t think about anything else I close the lid and slide it back underto have to be brave and leave my room I pull Seth’s shirt over my bare skin and my feet abandon the warm carpet as I step onto the cold wood floor On my tip toes, I slowly make my way to the toilet I keepto let thee roohter and when I enter my room Seth’s adorable sleepy face blinks at me

"Do you knohat time it is?" He points at my white alare hands over his face and then through his hair "Darryl is going to kill e thud coe room and then heavy footsteps Jackson runs into our rooroans, swinging his legs off the edge of the bed and grabbing his jeans He pulls his phone out of the back pocket and curses under his breath He puts it to his ear

"What’d he say?" Jackson asks, raking his fingers through his hair

"Manageht before we leave for Concord"

"Easy enough" Jackson shrugs and I frown

Easy enough for who? Seth will be the one doing all the work
