I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!
Chapter Ten
Recap: “Remember how when we were younger we used to sleep in
the same bed?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you think we could do that again…tonight?” Mac looked at A.J. astonished.
They hadn’t slept in the same bad since they were 16. Now, all of a sudden,
he wanted to sleep in the same bed.
“I guess so J…”
“I mean if you don’t want to…”
“I don’t care. It’s up to you.”
“Good. Let’s go get ready for bed.” With that said, A.J. pulled Mac
up the stairs to go get ready for bed.
Mac couldn’t believe what was happening. She was getting ready
for bed in her bathroom, which adjoined with her bedroom. Her best friend
was sleeping in her bed again. She felt as though she wouldn’t be able
to control herself, but she had to. A.J. didn’t love her, but she loved
him. Mac came out of the bathroom wearing a small silk camisole and short
silk boxers. A.J. was just getting ready to get into bed with a wifebeater
and boxers on when he saw Mac come out of the bathroom. His breath caught
in his throat. “Why did I never notice how gorgeous she is? Because you’re
and idiot!” he thought to himself.
“Are you ready to go to bed J?” Mac said not noticing A.J.’s
stare.
“Yeah,” was all A.J. could say. He turned back around and got
in bed. Mac cautiously walked over to the other side of her bed, and got
in. Mac and A.J. just laid not falling asleep, and not knowing what to
say to each other. Mac rolled over so that her back was facing A.J. He
didn’t know what to do. They did this before as kids, but now it was different.
They were 21 now. And things between them changed so much. A.J. stared
at how her back went up and down. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but
he decided against it. He rolled away from Mac, and turned to the other
side. Mac turned around, and now it was her turn to be the looker. Mac
loved him, but she couldn’t tell him. She sighed and turned on her back
to look at the ceiling.
“Mac?” A.J. said
“Yeah?”
“I was just seeing if you were awake.”
“Yeah, I can’t seem to get to sleep.”
“Me either.”
“Well, I’m gonna try. G’night J.”
“Night Mac.” With that they both went to sleep.
