Last Heartbeat by T.R. Lykins Page A

her here in my room alone. I have to keep myself in check or I’ll have my hands all over her sweet little body. She has these curves I want to hold onto. I sigh and let out a breath. Oh no I believe I am already falling for this girl. How did this happen so fast? I barely know her, but she feels like home to me.
    She comes out of the bathroom and jumps on the bed beside me. Wow ! I think I better leave. All I want to do is grab her and have my way with her. She looks freaking hot in my t-shirt. I start to think about how she would look with nothing on at all. Ok ay now. Calm yourself down before she runs out of here screaming. I take a deep breath and tell her I like her in my t-shirt, that I might keep her here every night.
    That sounded creepy, and I hope she doesn’t think so. Then she smiles and says that if she were here every night I couldn’t have any girls or girlfriends over. I have never have had a girl over here, but she doesn’t know that. I tell her that I don’t have any girlfriends unless she wants to be my girlfriend.
    I can’t believe I said that. Where did that come from? She asks me, if I’m for real about asking her to be my girlfriend and if I’m playing her now. She doesn’t know me much. I have never asked anyone to be my girlfriend. She seems mad. Then gets out of the bed and goes to her clothes. No, she isn’t leaving here tonight, and I now know what I want for the first time ever. She is here in my room with my t-shirt on. For the first time ever I want to have a relationship and with this girl only.
    I get up and move behind her, pulling her back close to me so that she is touching my chest. I let her know that this feels right, and I mean it. Everything I say to her, I mean it. This girl has taken me over completely. I don’t want to scare her off. I tell her to think about it and not rush anything. I kiss her and my heart explodes in my chest. I know she can feel it because I feel hers beating as hard as mine. I better stop now, because if I don’t, I will have to do more than kiss her.
    I tell her that it’s late and pull her back to bed. I ask what time she needs to get up and set the clock. I pull her close to me and cuddle her up next to my chest. She doesn’t fight me and relaxes into my arms. This feels like home to me, and hopefully I don’t mess this up with my girl. That makes me smile. She hasn’t said yes yet, but she will.
    I hear her breathing change, and I know she is already asleep. I lie there for a while, watching her and she really is the most beautiful thing I have laid my eyes on. I can see her face with what little light is shining through the window, and I know that she really is my angel. I don’t know how long I lie there watching her, but when I fall asleep, it is the best sleep I have had since my brother died.
    I wake up earlier than she does, because I want to make her breakfast before she leaves. I can’t cook much, but I make some eggs and bacon. I put on a pot of coffee. I think she likes it. If not, I will find out what she does and fast. It is time for the clock to wake her, so I put the eggs and bacon in the oven to keep warm. I run back to the room and get back under the covers. I want to her to wake up in my arms. I make it just in time. The clock sounds and she turns over and tries to smack at it. I laugh, and she turns back around. She looks at me and laughs because she must have forgotten where she is. I turn the clock off and tell her good morning. I kiss her on her sweet face. She smiles at me. I wonder what my beautiful blue-eyed girl is thinking. I hope she can see how awesome I think it is for me to wake up next to her.

    I hear the alarm clock go off and think, Ugh, give me five more minutes. I turn to hit the snooze button on my clock, but I miss it somehow. Then I hear someone laugh and I remember where I am. I slept so well last night. It was the best I’ve slept in forever. I turned back
