Wrong Place ?

Chapter 5

"Oh now you want me to sleep with you?! I tried suggesting that but you laughed at me." He was not amused and I was surprised as hell. Sleep with me? I just wanted him to keep me company seeing he can't sleep as well.

"I'm sorry what?" My eyebrows raised to the roof and I folded my arms, trying to digest the new learnt piece of information.

"I can't sleep for my own reasons, you can't sleep because you are scared. Maybe if your mind registers that someone is next to you, then you will be able to sleep and not have nightmares." He sneaked a glance at me, anticipating for my answer.

"You are being serious..." I don't know what I meant by that. It sounded like a question and a statement all at once.

"Look I won't do anything to you. Just forget I said anything." He turned to walk out but I stopped him. His hand was cold, cold and hard.

"Don't go..." I whispered. All he said made sense, if I know he is with me then I can trick my mind into believing that I was safe.

"It is your fault I'm like this anyway." I pulled him towards the bed. Although it was very inappropriate to share a bed with my boss, I wanted to feel safe and more importantly I hated him and I wanted to sleep so I didn't think much of it.

I patted the side of the bed for him and I pulled the covers over my head. He checked his gun and put it under his pillow before joining me in bed. His scent filled my sheets and I smiled. I think this might just work. My head was filled with thought of Lobos's hot breath that was hitting the back of my neck. I found myself smiling and concentrating on falling asleep.

I was so used to not being able to fall asleep the past few days that I even forgot to set an alarm for the next day. What caused me to wake up was an arm draped over my waist pulling me securely on a soft breathing pillow. But there were no breathing pillows right? I mean no matter how rich people can be, they can't buy nor invent a breathing pillow that is just creepy isn't it?

I opened my eyes to find myself sleeping on Miguel's chest. My thigh was on top of his thigh and my upper body was on his chest. I was like a koala bear clinging on the tree. He was facing the ceiling, deep in his slumber, with his arm securing me to him. He looked so peaceful you wouldn't think he is the rude, mean, dangerous and obnoxious drug dealer.

I didn't quite understand how we ended up sleeping like this cause last time I checked I had told him not to come anywhere near me, but by the look of things I am the one who went way near him. I was embarrassed and I wanted to get away from him before he could open his eyes but that was going to be hard considering he had a death grip hold on my waist.

I stirred a bit so I can get a good look at the time from the clock that sat on the bedside table.

My eyes popped out when I noticed the time. It has gone twenty minutes past ten o'clock. Ten o'clock!! I was supposed to be at work by seven thirty.

"Miguel?" I whispered, shaking him a little. He stirred a little but didn't wake up. Man he looked so adorable and at peace. I felt guilty for having to wake him up. So I decided not to.

I tried by all means not wake him up. I managed to move his arm and slip off the bed taking a quick shower. I was in such a hurry as there were meetings I needed to get to. Lobos didn't want to miss any meetings or any important information from the meetings so I had to be there since well he wasn't going to be available the whole week at the office.

I threw on a pair of jeans and a blouse underneath a white formal blazer finishing the look with a pair of heels. I rushed out to the front and had Caroline open the doors for me. My driver was taking a nap, thinking maybe I forgot to tell him I wasn't working today, but I explained the situation to him. Not everything just the fact that I overslept. Imagine if I had to tell him everything.
