Blake wrapped his arm around my shoulder and dragged me to the living area . He grabbed her towel and get it over bis day he had the for going since we were in the middle of winter . He pulled one of the single seater sofas and put it right in front of the fireplace . He sat down and goed me onto his lap . He grabbed the blanket that was hanging on the back of the sofa and wrapped it around me .
Ile hugged me tightly and rubbed my arm to warm me up . He grabbed the towel he brought with him and starts to dry my hair as
“ Fuxk sakes Rosy . What are you trying to do ? Get pneumonia ?? It’s already freezing out and your sitting under cold watert Have you best angry .
He moved a little so that I was completely facing the fire . He kept rubbing my arms and had me pressed up against him . I placed my head on bushesher and wrapped my arms around me . I felt like the cold had settled inside me . A shiver ran through me and I closed my eyes trying to absorb the warmth of the fire and Blake’s body heat . I felt him move me from his lap and I felt the cushion from the sofa touch my butt . I didn’t open my eyes and is leaned into the sofa . The warmth from the fire felt really nice . I pulled the blanket closer and held it tightly . My eyes refused to open and I gave in letting deep take
over .
When my eyes opened next , I was very warm . I was still infront of the fire place and there was still darkness outside . The lights in the apartment were turned off and the orange from the fire lit up the place , I stretched and started pulling off the blanket on me . There was I new Markets wrapped invand me
and my hair was braided . Did Blake do this ?
I freed myself and got up . The light in the kitchen was still on so I walked towards it . Blake was sitting at the counter tapping away on his laptop . He must have heard me because he turned around .
“ Oh did I wake you up ? ” He asked and I shook my head and sat on the stool next to him .
“ How you feeling ? ” He got up and turned on the water jug . He pulled out 2 cups from the cupboard and all the stuff he needed to make coffee .
“ Warmer ” I said and smiled at him .
“ Don’t you smile at me . What you did was stupid Rosy . Imagine if I hadn’t come looking for you . You should have gotten very sick and people would have
thought I was trying to get rid of you ” he didn’t sound angry , just annoyed .

“ I’m sorry ” I said quietly .
He placed a cup of coffee infront of me and sat back down .
“ Drink . It will help warm up your insides ” he said and sipped on his coffee .
I wrapped both my hands around the cup and sipped the coffee . Ahh yes that did feel nice .
“ God you scared the shit out of me . ” Blake sighed and looked at his cup .
“ I’m sorry . I just needed to have a cry and didn’t realise the water was getting that cold ” I said also avoiding eye contact with him .
“ Well maybe next time make sure the water is warm before you sit under it ”
I looked up and he was looking at me . His eyes filled with concern .
I
“ I’m sorry . It won’t happen again . I’m totally fine swear ”
“ I don’t believe you . ” His voice was soft .
“ I wish I could make you believe but I really am fine . I mean yes I’m still upset about what’s happened but I’m warmer now .
