Iblinked my eyes open, momentarily confused about where I was, before I realized I was still at August's place. Waking up in a bed that wasn't mine was a first. The hard body pressed against me was warm and comforting. I wanted to snuggle into August, and bury myself against him forever. Even if nothing else happened outside of those few heated kisses. And holy fuck, did I want more of those. He was addicting.

He’d gone above and beyond last night, making me dinner and comforting me. We'd stayed up late watching movies and eating the rest of the chili. When I got too tired to stay awake, he offered to let me sleep in his bed while he slept on the couch, but there was no way I would make him sleep on that thing. After a little arguing, I convinced him I could keep my hands to myself for a night. Little did I know that once we were in the same bed, my mind would stray to all sorts of inappropriate places. I'd never been in this position before. Who fucking knew guys who took your mental health into consideration existed?

Now, in the light of day, my worries crept back, threatening to strangle me. Was Ma okay? Just how pissed was Dad going to be when I returned home today? It wasn't like I could stay away forever. I had to go back, no matter how much I didn't want to. August had provided me with a sanctuary for the night, and now I had to go.

"You're thinking awfully hard." His voice was scratchy with sleep.

I rolled to face him. "Just dreading going home."

"Then stay."

I smiled at the thought. I reached out to touch his face before leaning in to kiss him. Fuck the morning breath. He was too damn tempting. "You know it's not that easy."

The faint smile that had been on his face vanished as concern clouded his features. "I know, but I'm going to worry about you the entire time. Can I convince you to take a shower to delay it a little longer?"

I laughed before flopping onto my back. "And put on what clothes afterward? My dirty shit?"

He leaned over me, and my whole body flushed at his proximity. God, he was fucking beautiful. How was it even possible that he liked me and wanted to take care of me? I never got nice things like this. "You can always borrow something of mine."

"Borrow?"

"Yeah, because this isn't the last we'll see of each other, right?"

I didn't want it to be, but I couldn't guarantee that it would work out again. I never spent a night out. Dad was going to lose his shit.

I nodded, and we climbed out of bed. A gross feeling settled in the pit of my stomach, like something terrible was about to happen. The feeling shouldn't exist because I was still safe with August, but the feeling lingered while I showered. I wanted to soak in all the good feelings from last night.
