Chapter 12

When we finished eating our food she drove me home and followed me upstairs. As soon as we reached my room I picked out a grey tee shirt that stops above my belly button and paired it with black and white plaid short shorts before I walked into my bathroom so that I could change. When I walked out I threw my previously worn clothing in my laundry basket before I turned on my television so that I could find a movie to watch. I scrolled through Netflix for a couple of minutes before I found a comedic movie. I look at my phone only to see that it's seven at night which causes me to scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. Where's Charlotte? She usually would've been up here by now. I get up off of the bed and make my way downstairs. As I reach the last step I'm able to hear a part of her conversation before she hangs up. "Just get it done, okay?" She asks in an annoyed tone before I hear footsteps making their way towards me. I barely have time to move when she suddenly stops in front of me with wide eyes. Her green eyes showed fear and shock. "How long have you been standing there?" She asks cautiously while searching my face which causes me to stay frozen in my spot "Not long" I reply quickly before I walk past her and into the kitchen so that I can grab some snacks for us to eat. As I try, but fail, to reach a cabinet above the oven I feel Charlotte's lips ghost over the side of my neck which causes my breath to hitch as my body starts to feel tingly What is this feeling? I've never felt this before. "Need some help?" She whispers which causes me to nervously bite my lip as I blush I don't respond since I feel like I might make a weird noise so I just settle for a nod which causes her to smile before before she swiftly reaches up and places two packs of cookies in front of me. I gulp as her finger tips lightly brush over my arm which causes goosebumps to arise in its wake. She smiles before she turns around and walks out of the kitchen which causes me to release a breath of air I didn't even know I was holding. What just happened? And why did my body react that way to her touch? It's never done that before. This sickness must be worse than I thought. I quickly grab the bags of chips along with the cookies before I make my way upstairs. As I reach my bedroom I see Charlotte laying underneath the blanket as she looks through her phone. "I have the snacks" I say shakily as I put them in between us before climbing into the bed As soon as I'm settled in a comfortable spot she starts the movie. During the movie I ended up laying on Charlotte's chest since she said it would be more comfortable than laying on my pillow. Which proved to be correct. Halfway through the movie I started to fall asleep as Charlotte traced shapes on my bare hip which caused my breath to hitch as her finger tips sent sparks up my spine I ignored it as I quickly fell into a deep sleep.
