Chapter 22


    I was forgetting how to breath as Leo stared at me. I only snapped out of it when a knock sounded on


    the door. Leo sat up with a sigh.


    "Leo, Sky! Are y''all awake?" Easton''s voice sounded through the door. My eyes widened as I sat up


    and examined my situation.


    "Leo, I''m not wrapped," I said in a whisper. He only sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.


    "Don''t say anything. I''ll send him away," Leo said quietly. He went to the door and opened it only a


    crack. I was hidden by the wall, but I couldn''t help but to peek.


    "Hey, are you guysing to breakfast?" Easton asked.


    "Sky is still asleep, and will probably have a hangover when he wakes up. We''ll stay here today. You


    guys go on without us," Leo lied.


    "Do you want me to get some medicine for him?" Easton asked.


    "I''ll take care of it," Leo stopped him. Easton left and Leo closed the door. I sat on the edge of the bed


    as Leo came back to me. He sat next to me with a sigh.


    "We should talk," he said. I settled for nodding in agreement.


    "I didn''t have a nightmare against night and I think that''s because of you. Would it be too


    presumptuous of me to ask you to sleep next to me from now on? I haven''t slept this well in a long


    time," he said. That wasn''t the direction I thought he''d go in at all. I nodded.


    "I promised I would help," I reminded him timidly. "So what are we doing today since you already sent


    everyone else away?" I asked as I turned to face him. His hand went to my head before he ruffled my


    hair.


    "We''ll walk around town by ourselves. It''ll getting a little tiring to keep up with the other''s social energy,"


    he answered with a sigh. He took a change of clothes into the bathroom while I sat on the bed,


    covering my face with my hands. After taking a few deep breaths, I finally calmed down a bit. I finished


    getting dressed and stuck my phone and wallet in my pockets. When Leo was done getting dressed,

    we went out of the hotel and just started walking. We were in the middle of downtown so there was no


    need to get a ride anywhere. We went out for breakfast, went shopping, took pictures around the art


    district, and just hung out. It was fun, and it was the most I''d ever seen Leo smile. We ended up staying


    out for dinner as well before dragging our tired bodies back to the hotel. The guys were all waiting in


    the lobby.


    "Why are you guys out here?" Leo asked, sticking his hands in his pockets.


    "Well, neither of you were answering the door or your phones so we decided to wait. We''re going to an


    escape room and wanted to see if you wanted toe with us," Easton exined. I felt my face light


    up. I''d seen the escape room before and they looked like fun. I wasn''t a fan of the scary ones, but the


    other ones looked okay. At least, the video reviews looked like it would be fun to do in a group, and


    maybe this would help Leo bond more with the other guys. I looked to Leo with an excited smile. Even


    without saying anything, he knew what I wanted. He sighed before he nodded.


    "We''ll go," Leo answered.


    "They even read each other''s minds now," Ryker joked. He wasn''tpletely wrong though. Leo and I


    had gotten better atmunicating through looks alone. We drove to the building before we signed up


    and waited.


    "Hey you made it," Easton said, catching my attention. I looked up to see the girls from Stone Lake


    why I didn''t think of the possibility of them joining us.


    "How are we going to do the room with all of these people?" I leaned over to ask Cody.


    "This ce is known for theirrger rooms for big groups," Cody exined.


    "Leo, Sky, you guys came," Freya said happily as she moved to sit next to Leo.


    "My kid wanted toe y," Leo said as he slung an arm over my shoulder. I couldn''t help the blush


    that colored my cheeks. The events from this morning and what I didst night was still fresh on my


    brain. Luckily, the lighting was pretty dim.


    "Sorry about getting you drunkst night," she apologized with augh. I shrugged it off and went back


    to waiting. Finally our room was ready. Going inside, I stuck close to Leo as I pinched the fabric of his


    shirt. I couldn''t help it, I was scared. The room actually gave me the creeps. The lights were dimmed


    way down and the props reminded me of a haunted house. I wasn''t very fond of them, or anything with


    surprises. It was why I hated rollercoasters too. Unfortunately, someone chose the scary escape room.


    The guys spent most of the time trying to scare the girls. Only Easton and a few of the girls were


    actually trying to solve the puzzles. It took us the entire time and we still didn''t make it out in time. After


    saying goodbye to the girls, we went back to the hotel to pack our things. We had ss the next


    morning after all. After we were packed up and checked out, the bus-like van was loaded up and we


    drove back to campus. I ended up taking a short nap on Leo''s shoulder on the way back.


    "Thanks foring out guys. It was fun," Easton said to all of us as we stood outside the gate with our


    bags.


    "Yeah, and we even figured out Leo''s kryptonite," Ryker joked. Leo red at him as the other guys


    "When Sky snaps his fingers, Leo melts like butter. I never thought I''d see the day," Cody yed along.


    "We''re heading back," Leo said, picking up both of our bags. Leo might not have seen it the same way,


    but it felt like the guys actually warmed up to him now that they knew he was human. It the world of


    guys, wasn''t teasing someone the way to show you epted them?
