HOPE

Chapter 27

After that day, our relationship took a whole new level. It became more special, more important.

Most of the days we would spend time in my apartment cause according to Seth, it's cozier. But on Fridays, we go over to his place to watch The Avengers. But we barely get through a movie without kissing or sometimes even making love. 

One week passes and we are still having sex like crazy. We do it nearly every night. We did talk to take this slow but when the night comes none of us can keep our hands to ourselves. I love this part of a relationship. 

We can't stay away from each other. The only time we actually stay apart is when we are working but even then, Seth would come over to me in the veggies section or sometimes even when I'm working in Jacob's office. There aren't any CCTV in that room so always kiss and Jacob would always gag. We all end up laughing after that. 

Seth still asks me for permission even though we have done it a few times. I guess he isn't sure about me. Maybe he thinks I might freak out and leave. I don't know. But I'm glad to see him be concerned about me. 

I love him even more when he cares about me, even in small ways like this. 

One Thursday evening, he comes up to me while I was helping a customer. He waits patiently till that customer leaves to talk to me. 

"Hi gorgeous." He grins at me. 

"Hi handsome." 

"So tomorrow. What do you want to do?" 

I think for a while. "Same as last week?" I ask raising my eyebrow. 

He smiles. "Last week we tried to watch Avengers and ended up doing what we did the week before?" 

I look at him questioningly. "So?"

He smirks. "Okay! Sure!" 

I shrug and we get back to work. I really wanted to kiss him but we can't risk getting in trouble from the higher parties. 

That night we go to his place after picking up my stuff from my place. We order some pizza and eat while watching an Avengers movie. 

"Hey." He says suddenly as I was taking a bite of my pizza. 

"Hmm?" 

"We didn't go to the cool bar tonight." 

I look at him. "Oh yea." I swallow the bite. "I forgot about that in the rush to get home." 

He raises an eyebrow. "We were in a rush?"

"I was just so tired." I say. I really am tired. 

He keeps his pizza down and after wiping his hands from the napkin, hugs me from the side. "Is working to tiring for you?" He asks. "I could ask Mr. James to give you a less tiring job."

I'm glad for his offer. "No, but thanks. I like doing what I do now."

"Then what is it?" 

I think a little. He pauses the TV. "I feel a little weak and I have a headache."

"Hope, what are your nightmares about?" He asks, out of nowhere. 

I have been having having my nightmares even though I sleep with Seth now. Even though I've had very meaningful sex. It just keeps on coming every night and I would wake up screaming and sweating, just like always. Seth would wake up as well. He always end up calming me down and then we go back to sleep again. 

"That.. Uh... Veron, What he-" I start. 

"Ah that." His voice sounds angry, distant. 

I look at him to see him staring at the TV screen.
