Isabelle that was a fantastic post!~* Kyle *~
The early morning light trickled through the windows, waking me. Opening my eyes blearily, I cast an annoyed look towards them, breifly thinking about going up to close the curtains. But then I looked down at the form sleeping next to me and all thoughts of getting up vanished.
Tess and I must have fallen asleep on the couch. I mused, feeling a thrill shoot through me. I should wake her, tell her to go back to her own room so that she would be more comfortable but as I watched the sunlight hit her blond hair, her soft skin, I hesitated. She looked so peaceful sleeping like this.
And I wasn't in any hurry to send her away from me. I softly trailed a finger over her silken tresses and smiled when she murmured in her sleep and turned towards me, snuggling close. Her warmth, her closeness brought a sharp pang of love that I tried not to dwell over. After all, it could never be like that for us.
But just because it couldn't didn't mean that I wouldnt grab whatever oppurtunity came my way. Linking my arms loosely around her, pulling her close to me, I layed my head back down and decided to just enjoy the feel of her in my arms.
I didn't know when I fell asleep again but the sound of glass shattered had me springing awake. Instantly I realized that Tess wasn't sleeping next to me anymore and that disappointed me. I had wanted to watch he wake up, to see her eyes clody from sleep, her hair tousled.
Groaning slightly at the image, I got to my feet. Rubbing my eyes to get rid of the sleep from them, I walked into the kitchen where I could hear my dad and Tess talking. The smell of coffee had me rolling my eyes in thanks.
The moment I stepped into the kitchen though, all talk stopped and Tess and dad both turnedto look at me. I paused, suddenly feeling like I had walked in on something. Slightly uncomfortable by the silence, I said, "'The glass woke me. " Then, without thinking, I added to Tess. "And you were gone."
My dad moved away suddenly saying, "I'll get you guys some coffee. Why don't you guys go and get dressed and I'll clean up the glass, you shouldn't be in here with bare feet." He shifted his gaze to give Tess a pointed look as he said, "You could get hurt without meaning to."
That had me wondering what I had just walked in on. The slightly puzzled yet disturbed look in Tess's eyes had me even more curious and wary. When she replied and left the kitchen, I paused, giving my dad a contemplating look. when he avoided my gaze, I hurried out after Tess.
Seeing me, she asked, "Do you want the first shower?"
I watched her face carefully for any sign of whatever had happened between my father and her, hoping she'd tell me but when she made no move to, I sighed slightly. "No, you go ahead." I told her.
She shrugged. "Okay, thanks." She began to move past me but then, without warning my hand shot out to grasp her arm, stopping her. I was as suprised as her when I found myself asking, "What were you and dad talking about before I walked in?"
