Chapter 37: Lying in lap
Silas’s POV
Nekol hugged me back while hiccuping. Lysander had heard everything, but he didn’t know what to say, so he just listened to Nekol in silence. Just then, a driver arrived.
"We’re leaving," he said, and the three of us got into the vanity bus. Soon, the bus started moving.
After a while, Nekol fell asleep on the sofa in front of us. Lysander and I were sitting on another sofa, both still awake.
I didn’t know why, but I just couldn’t fall asleep, and neither could Lysander—he had been playing games on his phone for the past half hour.
As I glanced at him, he suddenly looked up. I flinched and quickly looked away, pretending to gaze around the bus.
"Silas, you have a shoot tomorrow too. Get some rest," he said.
"But I can’t fall asleep. What should I do?"
"Come here. Lie down." He patted his lap, signaling me to rest my head there. At first, I felt awkward, but resting was more important. So, I quickly pulled my legs up on the sofa, lay down on my side, and placed my head on Lysander’s lap.
The moment my head touched his thighs, I felt the vibration of his phone. He started stroking my hair with one hand while continuing to play his game with the other.
I closed my eyes, feeling as if I were surrounded by lavender flowers. Their calming scent made me feel cozy and at ease. With each passing second, I grew more comfortable.
