Sam and Sophia had finished taking a shower just before the power was cut off. Sophia leaped onto the bed while Sam walked to the big windows and pulled the curtains open to let the light from outside shone in.
"You can go to sleep in the living room."
Sophia ordered. She pulled the blanket to cover up to her neck. Sam ignored her order. He walked to the bed and jumped in, s.n.a.t.c.hed the blanket from her to cover himself, left Sophia only a corner of it! She s.n.a.t.c.hed it back and he did not let her do it easily so they were fighter over the blanket like two children!
"Hey! Are you crazy? This is my room. I don"t mind to share it with you and now you can"t just have the blanket for yourself. It"s so freaking cold here. "
He said while pulling the blanket to cover himself. But Sophia pulled and she got the whole lot back. She hurried to flip and roll to get it to wrap around her.
Sam was not able to pull it anymore so he dragged her to embrace and put his long leg across her thighs. Sophia tried to push him away but she could not as she was wrapped by the blanket. Sam laughed with amus.e.m.e.nt to see her trapped.
"Yeah... Suit yourself. If you don"t share the blanket with me. I"ll use you as my bolster just like this."
He said, put his face on her hair and cuddled her so tightly. Sophia could not breathe fully.
"Let go of me now, Sam. You are suffocating me!"
She shouted at him. Sam lifted his face up to look at her. Her wavy golden blond hair spread around her sullen face. He could see her fierce eyes from the dim light that had shone through the gla.s.s windows.
"This is my room, my bed, and my blanket. How kind I am to share it with you. Give some to me and let"s go to sleep."
He protested like a boy. Just like every time when they had to fight over something. Sophia rolled out of the soft thick quilt. Sam pulled it to cover himself and pulled her to hug tightly. Sophia wriggled but he refused to let her move away. He put his leg over her legs to stop her.
"Let"s stay close to each other to keep warm. It is common sense to do so, don"t be stupid, FiFi."
He said and put his face on her shoulder then closed his eyes. Sophia gave up to tell him to go away, to sleep on the couch as he would not listen anyway. She could not win him. He was the most stubborn person she had ever known in her entire life.
"Sam, I am still angry with you. I don"t want to share anything with you right now. And if you don"t go, I will go myself. "
Sophia said with her grumpy look.
"It"s up to you. If you want to freeze to death. Sleeping outside with no heater like this? What a crazy woman you are."
The harsh voice said but he still cuddled her.
"I can survive without you. There is a spare duvet in the wardrobe."
"Hey ... what"s the matter? Come on, FiFi. Let"s cuddle to keep warm. Don"t worry, I am not going to charge you for the warm service all night. Don"t be stubborn. You don"t look good with a fierce face like this. No beautiful at all, honestly. " He said and shook his head.
Sophia hissed. He had never said that she was beautiful! She knew he did not see her the way the other men saw in her and kept telling her how stunning she was. But Sam was thinking of her as his best friend and that was it.
"Who cares!"
She yelled back. Sam laughed in his throat when seeing she got angrier. He felt warm now with her soft body in his arms like this. She smelled lovely as always but he would not tell her to make her glad because she just said that she did not care anyway.
"Even you are smelling a little off but it"s okay. I am used to it."
He continued to tease. She gave him an elbow jab on his stomach. He winced.
"Ouch!"
"Shut up, will you? I want to sleep! And get your leg off me."
She snapped at him and turned her back to him. Sam put his arm on her waist and his face on her neck, sniffing her nice scent. Put his leg over her hips. Now he was nice and warm.
The temperature after two o"clock was below ten degrees celsius. It was best to keep her warm too. He did not want her to catch a cold as Sophia was not very good to fight the virus. If she got the cold, it would take her weeks to get rid of her runny nose.
Sophia let him hugged her and did not want to argue with the wayward man anymore. Because it was cold and late. She was tired from traveling the long-haul flight, even they traveled with the first-cla.s.s tickets but Sophia got tired anyway as she did not like a long journey.
"Best if you turn to put your face on my chest. My chest is nice and warm. I"ve never offered anyone like this. You are the lucky girl on earth."
He offered with his proud voice making Sophia pull her face and shook her head.
"Shut up!"
She ordered him and felt as if her patience was running low. If he spoke another word, she would move to sleep on the couch for sure!
Sam smiled in the dark. He stopped messing her mood up and attached himself to her body to keep them both warm underneath the big quilt.
"Ouch!"
Sophia flinched and jerked away when she felt something hard stabbed on her hips!
He put his let too high, near her waist and this man was not a considerate person! He just liked to do what he wanted and he now was treating her body as his private bolster!
"What? I nearly fell asleep and you just made me jump, FiFi."
Sam asked with his unpleased voice. Gathered her closer and it could not be closer than this, otherwise, she would have disappeared into his chest!
"What?"
He asked again when she did not answer. Sophia felt her cheeks heat up. How could this pervert did not know that his THING was stapping her hips right now? An idiot!
"Move out a little, I can"t breathe."
She turned to snap at him and his nose was touching her cheek. It was not unusual for them to kiss each other"s cheeks. But in the darkness, lying so close to each other on the big bed at the moment, somehow, it was kind of weird feeling that Sophia could not describe. Especially, the foreign part of his body was touching her in the most intimate way!
"I haven"t blocked your nose nor strangled you. How come you can"t breathe? I like it this way. Come on. Shut up, FiFi, be a good girl and don"t wake me up again. Nite nite."
The man said and moved his body even closer. Sophia made a sullen face in the dark. Soon she heard his even breathing, meaning the man had fallen asleep already!
And she could not even breathe properly because of the way he put his leg on her hips!
