While You Were Sleeping Novels & Stories

I said softly to Zuck, I don't know if he heard me. "Hmm." Zuck's only response. I was lying on the bed while Zuck was by my side watching a movie on his cellphone, the last thing I remember before I finally fell asleep was when Zuck turned down the volume on his cellphone so maybe I won't wake up right away since it looks like he's watching an action movie. I don't know how long I slept, I just woke up when I heard someone screaming in the room.

Thank God I wasn’t there the moment that incident happen or I should be part of that ashes now. I closed my eyes as sleep slowly drove me off, it's just really like a rope that kept on pulling me with it and I'm enjoying the relaxation that it's giving me. I was about to be eaten by sleep when he entered the room, interrupting me when I'm about to be sleeping already. Damn it!

"Did you sleep well?" "Oh, you're in human form..." Maya sounds tired as hell. She rubs her eyes with a soft smile. "I don't even remember falling asleep. I asked you to open up to me, and-..." I chuckle, amused by Maya looking like a newly awakened hedgehog with her hair spiking around her head. "And you fell asleep while I went to the bathroom. I couldn't wake you, so I lied down next to you—I hope you don't mind."

The next morning, I woke up snapping out of my nightmare when the cold air hit my feet. I was surprised how I fell asleep last night, I was awake most of the time and must have slept in tiredness. I saw the long windows were open and the other side of the bed was shuffled as someone had slept in there. I know I didn't touch the duvet that's hugging me right now.

The unconscious state that we drift into when we sleep is something I have loathed all my life. The complete feeling of helplessness were you cannot control what happens to you,has always been scary to me. You could be killed while you sleep and you wouldn't even know. I was petrified of feeling that helpless. It always amazed me when I see people taking a nap. To me it felt like they didn't care about themselves, they didn't care about their safety. Anything could happen while you sleep and you wouldn't know.

I struggled to stay awake, but my eye lids were not having it. Forgive me my love, forgive me for all the wrongs I've caused you... two times over... It was said faintly, but I heard it. I welcomed the warm hands of sleep just then.

After a while, I noticed I was dozing off, and then I shut my system down before going to bed. "Wake up, sleepyhead! Up! Up! Up!" Dawn's overly chirpy voice flowed into my ears, as though she was singing. I could hear Ivana's excited giggles. I hissed, mumbling profanities under my breath and pulling the covers over my head. I needed every ounce of sleep I could get. I was so tired. "Go away," I mumbled, sleepily. I barely slept for a few more seconds, when the covers were yanked off my body, leaving me in my flimsy nightwear.

I hear myself whine, muffled by the thick black coat, “You cheated! I was winning. You cheated, Dad!” I drifted away. I can’t remember feeling so safe and content while drifting into sleep. I was calm. Nothing in the world could harm me. I was cared for. This sleep was effortless. I can’t remember the last time I slept without one eye open or with my arms around myself. I was never safe, never with someone who would even sacrifice a penny for my life.

Alessia ____ Mum used to tell me that it's wrong to wake someone who is relishing their sleep. When I was young, I used to fall asleep during family movie time, a movie that I used to pick, and then fall asleep before it ends. I used to complain to Mum a lot for not waking me up, but her response was always the same. I walked out of the shower with a towel swathed around my nakedness. I made sure to make no noises to wake my man. At least he was resting, which he highly needed.
