His fingers left a trail of warmth everywhere they touched. Skylar didn't want this feeling to end, but she stopped him.
"Stop, Reign. I can't do this, not now."
His eyes looked a bit cloudy, "Why?"
"It's not the right time and you just went through a break up so it wouldn't be right for us to do this."
"Why is not right, Skylar?"
"We need to first set out where all of this is going and leading to. I also have Jessie. That is not fair towards him. We need to first see how he takes it if we even tell him at all."
"Do you like Jessie?"
"No."
When the answer left her mouth, she wasn't so sure that she was also convinced. She felt a bit odd. Did she like Jessie?
"Why did you say it so hesitantly?"
"I don't know Reign. I thought I didn't. And I don't think I do."
Reign raked his hand through his hair, "Do you need time to think about who you like more?"
"I….no, it's just that I didn't think that you would leave Karly so soon or better yet leave her. This is all too much for me to process in one go."
"I want to be with you, Skylar."
"I know, Reign but it isn't so simple you know."
"It is Skylar, all you need to say is one word. And that word is yes, and then we will look at the rest later on, as it comes our way."
Skylar remembered Jessie's smile and his soft eyes and felt torn. She looked at Reign and she knew that she wanted him, but what was stopping her so much? Why couldn't she just jump into his arms and belong to him?
"I just need to think Reign, it's been a long day."
"Okay, at least can I lay beside you."
"I don't know, what if my mom comes, I will be trouble."
Reign pulled her down and embraced her, this time she closed her eyes to troubled sleep. She roused a bit the next morning. Skylar abruptly got up and looked to the side, and found Reign gone. She wondered if all of this was a dream that she was having. If last night had really happened.
Skylar could smell his scent still lingering on her sheets, she saw a small piece of paper on the side. She reached for it and opened it.
"You were sleeping peacefully, I couldn't wake you up. Reign."
Skylar felt a breeze and she realized that Reign had probably jumped out the window. The door to her bedroom opened abruptly.
"Mom."
"Morning sweetheart, did you sleep well."
"I did and you?"
"I had a long evening, that's why I couldn't make it."
"It's okay."
"I am going to go shower and sleep. If you need me, I will be in my room."
"Wait, do you want some breakfast."
"I would love some Sky."
"Okay go rest and I will bring it to you. Consider it as free room service."
Her mom chuckled, "I look forward to it."
Skylar woke up and took a quick shower and raced downstairs where she started to make breakfast for her mom. She put some eggs, and she saw her phone ringing. It was Lola.
"Hey, Lola."
"You need to tell me everything about Reign's and Karly's break up."
"Can I call you back a bit later?"
"Don't forget to call me when you are done with whatever you are doing."
"I won't Lola."
"One thing, Karly called me last night, asking where you lived and that she was sure you were with Reign."
"You didn't tell her."
"Obviously not. But you need to tell me all the details."
"I will call you soon."
"Okay," Lola replied.
Skylar's heartbeat wildly and she wondered what Karly wanted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
