Stay

DAWN'S POV

'He looked at me in the eyes, then ever slowly, his gaze went to my lips. I closed my eyes in anticipation, expecting to feel his lips brushing mine...

But I was pulled away by a force, and he turned around like he was disgusted by me, "Chris?", I tried calling him, but he didn't answer, he just went on going. "Dont trust him", a voice kept telling me, but I didn't even bother listening

I tried to run after him, but it was like my legs were stuck, "Chris!, Chris!, come back, don't leave me please"

The voice continued "he's not even Chris!!!"

....I woke up from that nightmare,  although I was scared, I was also surprised that it wasn't my usual fire nightmare, in fact it's been a while since I had nightmares, but this made me worried again that it involved Chris.

'Is he lying about who he is'

'No, he isn't, he won't. He has no reason to'

I quickly chased that thought, but to be extra sure, I called Victor, my family's private investigator.

"I need you to do a background check on someone for me, his name is Christian Nathaniel Lewis. Find out everything about him, where he lived, the work he does, his family, every single thing without leaving anything out, am I clear?"

"Yes miss White, I'll get it done right now, and send it to you"

I got down from bed, and went straight to my bathroom, to take a shower. It was still very early in the morning, around 3am, so I didn't bother calling Chris.

'What if he's lying to me?'

I shook my head, allowing the hot water to run down my body.

It's been three months since we started dating, and Chris was everything I could ask for. He was sweet, interesting, romantic, funny, but in all, he was mine.

But wait... he also get pretty jealous easily. I made friends with Daniel, and we hanged out together with him, but if possible, he doesn't even want me to talk to Daniel at all, and that has gotten us into having arguments, but I had to tell him that he was not going to make me lose my chance at making new friends.

But Chris also gets wary with Peter. He doesn't leave my side ever, even while we are in the house, and I'm sure it has something to do with his fight with Peter, but no matter how many times I asked him, he won't tell me about it.

I'm sure most of you are wondering why Peter is still working for me, despite the fact that I hate him. Well...it's a surprise

I sat down on my bed, playing 'Temple run'. It was almost 5am now, but I couldn't sleep back, no matter how I tried, so I got down from my bed, and I went to Chris's room

I didn't even bother to knock,

'He obviously will still be sleeping'

So I quietly opened his room door. Immediately I entered, he was already sitting on the bed

"Weren't you asleep?"

"I w..was", he yawned, "but the sound of the door woke me up"

'He must be a light sleeper'

'I'm sorry, I couldn't just sleep, no matter how hard I tried". I stood at the door, not knowing how to ask if I could sleep with him

'No no, not that kind of sleep sleep with him, I meant sleep beside me'. I thought trying to take my mind away from going to the gutter

He didn't say anything, instead he shifted and patted the space beside him

I took that as a cue to lie on his bed. Immediately I slept on the bed, he scooted closer, hugging me close from behind, before he turned me around to look at me

"Good night", he said, before giving me a peck on my lips. He shifted even closer, and buried his nose in my neck.

My body tensed, this was the most intimate moment we've ever had. I couldn't stop feeling happy, and while he slept, I took the opportunity to admire his facial features. I traced my hand on his face, starting from his thick eye brows, long eyelashes,  enhanced nose bridge, and finally his two kissable, seductive lips that I've become addicting to me

I leaned closer to kiss them

"If you continue that, trust me, neither the both of us will get any more sleep"

And that made me wrap the blanket around me, and close my eyes

"Goodnight", I hurriedly said before darkness finally allowed me to sleep

I woke up in the morning, and looked everywhere, I was back in my room. I didn't even need my alarm again, instead I had my human alarm who is currently knocking on my door

"Come in", I yelled

He came in, holding a tray of sandwiches, and a glass of milk. He knew what I needed

"Here", he gave me a sandwich, but I opened my mouth for him to feed me.

I was super thankful that he didn't ask me about last night, I wasn't really ready to talk about it

I was drinking the milk, when my phone rang, I looked at it, it was Victor

"Miss, I've sent all his information to your mail, you can check them now"

"Okay, thanks", I said quickly,  before cutting the call. If Chris heard, he'll be so mad at me. But I want to trust him

"Chris?", I called

"Yeah", he answered

I looked down, I didn't know how to ask again, all the words were stuck in my throat, unable to come out

He lifted my face, by my chin, urging me to look at him in the eye. He was encouraging me to go on

I took a deep breath, "Chris, are you hiding anything from me?"

As much as I don't want him to say anything hurtful, i know that no matter what he says, I'll still stay
