ANASTASIA

I opened my eyes and stared long at the ceiling.

"How could I forget?" I muttered under my breath.

I glanced at the wall clock mounted above the door. It was midnight and I couldn't sleep.

In my sleep, it had sounded like a low rumbling, almost like the low guttural growl of a beast as it approached it's prey. But it was just Alden.

With my palms clasped together and placed under my cheek, I looked in Aiden's direction. His mouth was wide open as he released loud snoring sounds.

Unbidden, memories came flooding back. One particular one stood out. It had been the first day I slept over at his place; I think a month after I met him. I had been horrified to discover that a man as goodlooking as him sounded like that in his sleep. When I ranted to him the next day how I couldn't sleep because of it, he laughed about it and said I would get used to it.

ad to it.

I was impressed that it didn't make him insecure but I was confused when he said I'd get used

Later, I understood. The more nights I spent with him, the more the sound became normal. Sometimes, it was even the sound that lulled me back to sleep whenever I awoke at night.

I sighed. But it's been more than five years. I might have totally forgotten that my ex-boyfriend used to snore if Amie hadn't taken after him.

But still. Amie's snore was a soft, gentle and unobtrusive purr. It never disturbed my sleep.

Unable to go back to sleep because a certain person still snores, I got out of bed silently and and went to

him.

At first, I just stood there and admired his manly looks, Gosh! He had really grown to look better in the past five years. It was almost as if our departure was a blessing to him, I thought with a painful pang in my heart. Maybe it was.

I didn't know what prompted me, maybe it was my need to go back to sleep but I lowered my head to his and began to tickle his face, his neck with my hair.

Hoping it might stop the snoring but it did worse than what I intended. My breath caught in my throat as he caught my hair in the midst of swatting off what was tickling him.

I folded my lips in my mouth as I tugged at my hair from his grasp, trying to free myself without waking him. With a gentle tug, he freed it and his hand fell back to the couch.

I sighed, relieved when he stopped snoring. But after a nanosecond, he was at it again, the sound. seeming even louder in the quiet room.

Come on! I thought as frustration warring with a strange fondness.

With no other choice, I put my index finger on top of his lips and my thumb under his lips and tried to

close his mouth.

When he closed his mouth and the sound stopped, I removed my fingers from his face only for him to open his mouth and get right back to it. It was as if he was determined to test my patience.

I repeated the same action and he closed his mouth. I decided to keep my fingers there for long, hoping the lips will somehow become sealed and not open again because I wanted to feel the warmth of his breath tickle my skin. Abruptly, I withdrew my hand and let out a yelp, startled, when his eyes opened. But he caught my hand midway.

How quick even his reflexes were, even in his drowsy state.

I tugged at it, my hair falling to his face but he simply moved the strands from his face and held on tighter.

My heart slammed in my chest as he pinned me with a look that left me hypnotized. I stopped struggling from his hold and returned his stare. I was lost in the depths of his eyes.

His hands uncurled around my wrist and I still didn't move away. Even if I wanted to, my body wouldn't listen. It was frozen in place by the intensity of the moment.

I felt his strong fingers dip into my hair, and they stroked my scalp for a while then his hand lowered, and gently palmed on my nape.

His touch sent shivers down my spine; my breath began to kicky up a notch.

I knew what was going to happen next and I didn't try to fight it, surrendering to the inevitable. I wasn't sure if he pressed my nape to meet his lips or if I lowered my head myself but I willingly shut my eyes his warm lips closed around mine.
