Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

405-Cursed Feelings.

Christina and I spoke for hours before we finally went to bed. I had to sleep on the couch because Lazio was occupying the entire bed. The instant I closed my eyes, my story in the dream world began.

"Morning!" he said, walking into the kitchen and standing beside me. He was towering over me, wearing a black shirt and black shorts.

"Morning! How are you?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
