Chapter 157 - Cant sleep (1/2)

Kris turned on the light to his empty home. Lena walked in and stared at the familiar place. It's been a while since she was here.

She walked to the guest room and closed the door. She knew the house like the back of her mind. She locked the door and went to take a shower. Halfway through, she noticed Kris has no toiletries... She just took a shower without shampoo or body wash.

Kris did not mind her. As long as she was here and not down there with that stranger. he went to his room and took a shower.

When he got out, he went to check on Lena, but the door was still locked. It was already very late. He looked at his phone and he got a goodnight text from Lena. He went back to his room and laid on his hard bed.

He placed a hand on his heart. He was feeling.... happy. And happiness was a good thing. He looked at the picture of his mom and a younger version of himself that was on the side of his bed.

He only had a few days until her birthday... he does not know if he was ready or not.

Kris turned off the lamp and tried to go to sleep. He found himself continuously tossing and turning on this ”supposedly” comfortable bed. Why was it that he could not sleep tonight? Was it because he was lying down so peacefully on Lena's bed before that he does not like this bed anymore? Does he like a soft bed instead?

Kris got up. He grabbed the master key from his drawers and went to Lena's room. He quietly opened the door. He saw her sleeping soundlessly. What kind of woman can sleep so deadly when there was another man around?

He walked up to the bed and pressed on it. It was soft and squishy like Lena's bed. He looked at Lena again. He ninja picked her up and moved her to his room. His other guest room does not have a bed.

He went back to Lena's room and plopped himself on the bed. He closed his eyes. A few minutes later, he opened them and continue to toss and turn too. It was not the bed.... He sat up. He was tired but he can't sleep. What the hell?!

He went back to his room and picked Lena up again. He placed her down back in the guestroom. He covered her up with the blanket and stared at her sleeping face. He slowly removed the hair her hair that was blocking his view.

Kris yawned. He was getting very sleepy now... was it because of her? He laid next to Lena and stared at her. He gently placed a hand on her cheek and caressed the soft small face of hers. He looked at her long lashes and down to her pink lips.

He smiled. Those were the lips that kissed him... no, it was the lips that he kissed. He softly pinched Lena's cheeks but she did not budge one bit. Looking at the beautiful face, Kris knew... Lena was not a friend.
