Shorts Series: The one who wouldn’t let go - 2020
“SIMON no… no this shouldn’t be you. I’m so… I"m sorry” Jess cried with tears in her eyes as she wrapped her arms around the man bleeding out on the floor. It was her fault… she should be the one on that floor bleeding out if he hadn’t… jumped. And why? Because he loved her. Something she could never feel for him. She could see the way he looked at her, the way his hand brushed on her cheeks as she cried muttering “It’s okay…” . But it wasn’t. So she did the only thing she knew she could. She brought her lips down to meet his, kissing the man as he blead to his death. And then he was gone.
A gasp left her lips as her eyes shot open, her breathing increasing almost to hyperventilating as she re-lived that moment… not for the first time. She needed to get out of there… to walk… to… clear her head. Jess looked around the unfamiliar dark room. Though it took a few seconds to realize she was lying in Kai’s bed - the man asleep peacefully next to her. Sitting up, Jess sighed. This wasn’t the first time Jess had been sleeping over… it had been about a week since they first… well… finally did the deed. But it was the first time she had a nightmare with him near her. Laying back down for a moment, Jess placed a small kiss on Kai’s head and was about to roll over and leave, however, she soon found his arms tightly wrapped around her. fck As much as she wanted to take a walk, Jess also didn’t want to wake the man up. That didn’t mean she didn’t attempt.
At first, Jess started off carefully trying to move his hands. A simple push here, a wiggle there - but nothing. His grip was bloody iron-clad. Then she really got into it. Jess tried to pull his fingers apart with all the force she could muster but it was useless. She even tried to use her teeth… that… didn’t go well. Was he just a bloody deep sleeper or something? God. She spent about forty minutes doing that. Attempting to escape but, as she soon realized, it was useless and he was STILL asleep. A sigh left her lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his lips. “I don’t know how you bloody do it when you’re asleep but fine. I’ll stay right here,” Jess whispered, moving her lips to his neck - really to just see if he was awake. But after no movement she gave up, keeping her arms wrapped around him as she closed her eyes and fell asleep in the comfort of his arms for the first, but not the last time in their relationship.
