Chapter 23


    Getting back to the dorms, I unpacked my bag and took a shower before getting ready for bed. I


    climbed into the loft ready to set my rm when Leo came out of the bathroom in his pajamas.


    "Do you have swim in the morning tomorrow?" I asked.


    "No, we normally won''t have it on Monday mornings, but you have practice tomorrow, so go straight


    there when it''s time After ss. I think my practice runs longer than yours, so whoever finishes first will


    just go to the other gym," he said as he ruffled his damp hair with a towel. He froze when he say where


    I was.


    "What are you doing up there?" He asked. I poked my head out of the loft window to look at him.


    "About to go to bed," I answered confused.


    "You said you''d sleep with me," he reminded me. The innuendo made me blush. I''d forgotten all about


    that.


    "Right," I muttered. I grabbed my phone and charger before climbing down. I climbed over the bed to


    plug in my charger and set my phone on the bedside table. Luckily these were at least full sized beds


    instead of twin sized beds. I climbed under the covers as Leo turned the lights off. When he was safely


    in the bed, I turned themp off. I was hyper aware of our limited space on the smaller bed. We didn''t


    touch and he even slept over the nket. I stillid straight and tried not to fidget.


    "Don''t think too much, you''re just a living dreamcatcher. we''ve already done this twice already. There''s


    no difference. Plus, you''ll probably end up wrapped around me like a snake in the morning anyway.


    Just getfortable," he joked. I smiled before I rxed. He was right. The two times we slept in the


    same bed, I''d somehow end up almost right on top of him.


    "Goodnight," I said sleepily. Falling asleep next to him was easy.


    The next day, it was harder not to just stare at Leo as we went around together. The weekend trip felt


    like it changed our rtionship somehow. Neither one of us mentioned my drunken kiss again, but it


    still lingered in the back of my mind. During ss, everyone talked about what they did over the


    weekend. I felt like if I talked, I would slip up, so I stayed quiet. As soon as it was time for lunch, we


    headed to the cafeteria. I sat and picked at my food deep in thought.


    "Whats on your mind?" Leo asked before taking a bite of his food.


    "I was just thinking... you should make more friends. And I was trying to think of a way to help you with


    your start," I admitted.


    "Sky," Easton said as he sat down next to me and slung an arm over my shoulders. Leo''sser eyes


    could''ve put Easton six feet under. Easton nced at Leo before sighing.

    "Ah, right. ''Don''t touch my kid.'' That''s what you say, right?" Easton said before going for his food. Leo


    nodded once before going back to his meal. I leaned in closer to him.


    "Make friends," I whispered to him.


    "I don''t want to," he muttered without looking up from his food. I sighed before going back to my own


    food with a slump. Leo squeezes my arm gently before giving me a small almost unnoticeable smile. I


    would let it go for now. After lunch, Leo and I finally parted ways to go to our practices. I was so excited


    and nervous.
