Chapter 48

• I groaned thickly as I turned around on the bed and peeled my eyes open. The blinding sun that shined directly into my eyes made me let out a startled ‘fuck’, a loud sound go off in my head which resounded in my ears for a few seconds before finally stopping slowly. I turned my back to the assaulting sun and tried peeling my eyes open again. The first thing I registered was the big, greenish eyes staring up into my squinted blue ones.
• The eyes blinked a few times before locking with mine again and when small, delicate looking fingers snuck out from underneath the comforters to push her wild, blond hair behind her ear, I blinked once then twice before it all came rushing back into my head all at once.
• “Aria?” I called out softly as I lifted my hands and tucked her hair behind her ear again when it dropped over her eyes again. I watched as color flooded her cheeks while being watched closely.
