Esmeralda's POV
Mr. Stone didn't come back that night but Keesha kept me company till morning until she had to leave for work.
I wake up from my peaceful sleep when the door opens slowly and Mr. Stone walks in looking as perfect as ever. I pretend to still be asleep as his footsteps approach the bed making my heartbeat speed up.
Dammit, what's wrong with me?
I hear him gently dragging the chair Keesha was previously sitting on closer to the bed. My breath catches when I feel him tuck my hair behind? my ear and I forget how to breath altogether when I feel something settle on the pillow my head is resting on.
I finally open my eyes and try to pretend I'm just waking by attempting to let out a fake yawn but that yawn gets caught in my throat when my eyes meet hazel ones.
The owner of those eyes currently has his head on my pillow and is staring at me!
The corner of his mouth turns up in a smirk as he continues staring and waiting for me to do something.
