Last night, the rain got harder and the weather got a lot colder. I would go as far as to say that it may have even gone as low as below 32f. I think it may have even started thundering, but I'm not entirely sure of that. And unfortutately, our heater wasn't really able to keep up. I ended up bringing a space heater into my room because it got so cold. Wind also picked up. Oddly enough, these are the perfect conditions that I enjoy sleeping in. I guess I'm a little weird like that. I guess it's because I feel like I'm in a little fortress beneath my blanket, knowing that just beyond are elements I feel better just not dealing with. Either way, on to what happened.
Last night, I went to bed at about 11'oclock. I slept in nothing more than boxers (that just how I always sleep). I was totally fried from that day, so I just passed out. Now, there are 2 things you should know about me:
1)I am an extremely heavy sleeper
2)I always wake up 5 min. before my alarm goes off, which would be about 5:05am so that I can just lie in bed, enjoying the warmth.
Odd thing was, I woke up a lot earlier than usual. I didn't check the clock right away, but I could tell I still had a few hours to sleep (I think it was maybe 1am). I almost went back to sleep, when I realized what it was that woke me up. Behind me, I could feel someone else in my bed. I turned over to see who it was. I figured that it may have been Mikey, on account of he'd done the same thing during previous winters. It was dark, but I could still tell who it was: it was Kayla. Of course, I was rather shocked. Many things ran through my mind, the most prominent of which was "Why the hell is Kayla in my bed?" She was facing with her back to me, but I could see from her breathing that she was fast-asleep (for the record, she sleeps about as hard as I do). I reached out my hand to try and wake her, but as I laid my hand on her arm, I found something I didn't expect: she was shivering. She was wearing pajama pants and a t, yet she was still shivering. I felt really bad for her, so I decided against waking her. I was trying to figure out how to handle this situtation, when I just acted out of nowhere. I scooted in closer to her. I wrapped my arms around her body. I pulled in, and brought her into my chest. I felt I could do at least that much for her. She felt cold at first, but she began to warm up. It felt wonderful, holding her so close to me. It felt so... right. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep...
I woke up at my usual time, having almost forgotten what happened in that night... but I remembered as I felt her warm body pressing up against mine. She wakes up about an hour later than me, so she was still fast asleep. Appearantly, she had shifted positions sometime in her sleep, because she had turned around so she was facing towards me instead of away, her warmth still flowing into my body. She had wrapped her arms around my waist along with one leg, and her head was dug into my chest. I felt bad about it, but I needed to get ready for school, which meant I'd have to wake her up. I whispered in her ear fairly loudly, "Kayla... Kaaaaaayla... Kaaaaaaaayllaaaaaaaaa". I felt her breathing change as she her head shifted. She looked at me with eyes that were half-awake and a smile that almost seemed to be of accomplishment. She yawned. "Good morning Alex. I take it you need to get ready for school?" I looked back at her for a bit. It was a look I had seen her give me before, but it was one of those looks that I she gave me when she was making fun of me. It seemed really out of place. I tried sitting up, but she was still holding on to me. I finally said "Um... yeah. I need to get ready for school Kayla. By the way, what are you doing in my bed?" She kinda stared at me for a bit with this puzzled look, which slowly turned into a look of utter shock. She let go and sat up in the bed. "Come again?" She seemed almost panicked when she said it. So I repeated. "I was just asking why you were in my bed". She looked completely stunned. She looked around for a little bit, then finally said, "I thought this was my room...". She just kinda went mute after that. I got dressed and ready (she was still in the room) and I began walking out the door, when she called out of my name.
"Alex?"
"Yeah kayla?"
"Um... is it... okay if I go back sleep in your room?"
"Why?"
She looked down at her legs "Well... the bed's already warm, and I don't want to move."
I smiled at her and said "Alright". With that, I went downstairs. I didn't see her for the rest of the morning.
After a bit of thinking, I concluded a few things. One, she didn't remember coming into my room at all. Two, she truly thought that I was in her room (her shock was very sincere, not the kind you can easily fake). And three, she didn't mind me being in her room. In fact, by the fact that she wasn't shocked by me holding her, one could almost go as far as to say that she welcomed me. I suspect that she had actually waken up in the middle of the night, and consciously changed position on me. I could be wrong, but she was definetely not fully awake when she was dropping these clues. I'd say she may have accidentally said a lot more than she meant to...
