a room with a heart on the door
“That must be it” I say as I turn the key in the lock.


Ch.5 seeing hearts
I unlock the door and all I see is red and pink and hearts everywhere. (The honeymoon suit)
“Holy shit what the hell or as Allen would say bloody hell that’s bad” I say wide eyed I walked back to the front pale and really wide eyed
“Wow that’s whoa”
“Yes exactly thank you love”
“No no it’s fine it’s just whoa the bed is huge we can both have our own side and never touch”
“See your girlfriend is fine with it” the woman behind the desk says
"we're not together."
"oh im sorry i just thought cause earlier"
"Ok if you’re ok with the room love I guess we’re ok i'll go get your bag out of the car love and ill just be right back”
“Thank you I’ll go see what I can do with the room” I say as I walk the other way. I managed to get rid of all the heart pillows and pink sheets and the red curtains (gross)
***
After I had gotten rid of the gross décor I had jumped in the shower and then Allen got in after me I heard the water turn off and I saw the door click open then Allen walked out in his towel (wow)
“Forgot my clothes” he says picking up his bag and walking back in to the bathroom
“Hey jump back in there's hair dye all over your back“
“Key thanks lovely”
About ten minutes later he come out of the bathroom in a pair of pants and no shirt (oh god) then he puts a shirt over his head (darn)it’s a black t-shirt that says my chemical romance on the front with a picture of the band under it.
“I love mcr”
“Ya I like them to about earlier love and the whole we’re not together thing are we” he ask with curiosity in his eyes
“I don’t know what would you say”
“Then I would say yes” he says as he leans in for a kiss
“Ya well it’s a little early in the relation to be sleeping together” I say with a giggle
“We’re not sleeping together we are just in the same room sharing a bed because the roads are not passable and no one is leaving the hotel tonight”
“That made it sound sooo much better”
“Ya I know I kind of made it sound worse sorry love”
“Let’s not forget it’s the honeymoon suit” I say sarcastically
“Love if I can get the window open do you mind if I have a smoke”
“No go right ahead”
“Ok I can’t get the damn window open so ill have to wait”
“There’s no TV in this damn room what the hell”
“Honeymoon ebony”
“Oh right duh well then I’m ganna go to bed then good night”
“I’m ganna do the same lovely night”
“Night night” I say as he kisses me good night
I move to the other side of the bed and I feel like I’m farther from him than I have ever been I’ve only known him for 2 weeks and yet I fell I like I’ve known him my whole life and there’s almost a whole in my heart like I can’t live without him at the same time I feel like there’s something he’s not telling me.
***
I woke late and sometime during the night Allen and I gravitated together I was entwined in his arms he was holding on to me for dear life almost his chest to my back I was comfortable somehow then he moved a little and loosened his grip and his arm was around my waist now I could breath better I wouldn’t dare move I would end up moving him(I would never tell him but I liked being in his arms) I felt safe in his arms I ended up falling back asleep. Later when I woke up again Allen was trying to tell me we could go home but I just pulled him down and kissed him.
Later in the lobby I found out Ryan and jay live not even 2 miles from us and we made plans to get together next weekend then we said are good bye's and were on our way home, by the time we got home it was almost dark, me and Allen had school the next day so we ate dinner and then went to bed like every other night

Ch.6 Nightmares and tedy bears
Later that night I had a dream (more like a nightmare) about Allen that scared me pretty bad. So I got up and got my key to Allen and mines door I walked through the corridor to Allen’s door and knocked “yes” Allen said from the other side of the door a little groggy with sleep “oh it’s you love what’s wrong lovely he asked concerned “I’m ganna sound like I’m five but I had a bad dream” “ok love come here” he say scooting over and pulling back the covers for me to climb in bed once again I felt safe I fell safely to sleep Easley.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of Allen’s alarm and a kiss on the forehead as he felt his way down to my lips. “come on love time to get up we have school to get to” “fine I say not wanting to move from his arms but his arms move first “come on time to get up” he says pulling me out of bed “I’m up I’m up” we get ready in silence he doesn’t pry about the dream and I don’t say anything we get ready in half the time we usually do so we go to the living room and sit down I’m in Allen’s arms watching the news and its going to rain if not snow. I hear the front door slam shut probably Nat getting back from his morning run Allen and I separate quickly. (My brother is protective I’m still his little sis) “We have to tell him love”
“No just give me like three days”
“No causes then we are sneaking around love just tell him”
“Fine i'll go tell him”
“You want me to come”
“No I don’t want to risk broken bones”
“Ok but I can hold my own I don’t need you looking out for me love it’s the other way around lovely”
I make my way to the kitchen were Nat’s drinking a protein shake (eeewww)”hey Nat”
“What’s up sis?”
“What if I was dating someone would you hurt him?”
“Maybe E who is it?”
“Would you be ok with it?”
“Ya I guess who is it”
“Ok well I haven’t known him for very long “
“ok who is it before I tickle it out of you spill”
“Ok ok it-“I get cut off by Allen
“You tell him love- never mind i'll go sit on the couch”
“Fine its Allen Nat ok”
“Ok that’s great”
“Wait your not mad”
“Why would I be mad I have been telling him to go for it I was sick” he say making air quotes
“You little sneak ass whole” I say trying not to laugh
“I could see that you liked him and that he liked you and for once I’m ok with it like you say I’m just ganna have to live with the fact that my little sister is growing up”
“Oh thank god I thought you were going to go ape shit like last time so we’re good right”
“Ya unless he does anything if he does you’ll tell me right”
“Always do”
“Hey Allen get in here” Nat yells
“Ya Nat”
“You have to promise you’ll take care of my little sister got it”
“Ya I will i'll take great care of her” he says hugging me from behind and kissing my cheek
“I don't want to see any of that shit”
“Ok Nat Allen we’re going to be late”
“Ya getting the keys”
“Way to go Allen great job dude” I hear Nat say from the other room
“Hey Nat shut the hell up I’m still in the house”
“You’re in trouble now man” Allen says from the other room
“And you’re going to be in a sec to hurry up” I yell
“Yes coming love”
Allen and I we’re on our way to school Allen driving like always “I can’t believe you and my brother that whole snowed in thing”
“hey to be fare I didn’t know that It was going to snow in or have to sleep together your brother and I just talked about me asking you out and things like that love” we were now sitting in the parking lot Allen and I were talking I was laying down with my head on his leg as he stroked my hair he was asking me about my childhood and what I was like.
“Well I wasn’t normal I was the kid that hated P.E. and liked to read I guess I liked to not be in reality all the time but when I’m with you everything seems to disappear.”
“I know what you mean love I feel the same way”
I sit up to kiss him and he kisses back I’m hungry for love and almost greedy usually a guy would wait like a year if not longer but then and then he says something I never thought I would hear a guy say in a million years.
“I love you ebony I really do”
“I- I love you to Allen” I say sitting up looking at him with tears I’m my eyes.
Then almost out of nowhere he starts kissing me like I was the last time we would see each other. The rest of the day I was in a daze not wanting to be at school I want to be in Allen’s arms. As soon as the bell rings for the end of the day I go straight to Allen’s locker.
“Hey Allen”
“Hey love” he says leaning in for a kiss
“Mmm tastes like strawberries”
“Ha-ha I was eating skittles want some”
“Shur but skittle kisses are just so much better”
“I agree” he says handing me a box of skittles and kissing me once again “lets go home” he says lacing his fingers through mine and pulling me towards the door. We get home and no one is home we curl up on my bed with my cd player going in your shadow I can shine and by your side by tokio hotel keep playing over and over my cd player is broken.
“I think that’s funny”
“What’s funny?”
“My cd player just happens to be stuck on these
