Chapter 24
"I'm not going anywhere Brian." Sasha replied hugging him. "I'll sleep in the guestroom or in Hannah's room tonight."
Brian opened his mouth to speak but didn't know exactly how to say what was on his mind. "Sasha," He hesitated. "Will you…can I…Never mind."
"Is something wrong Brian?"
"Will you please sleep with me tonight?" Realizing what his request might have sounded like to Sasha, he quickly added. "I only meant sleep in the same bed Sawsh. I just don't want to sleep alone."
Sasha giggled. "You scared me there for a minute Bri!" She kissed his cheek. "As long as you don't want to try sleeping here." She joked eyeing the couch.
Brian smiled. He stood up and offered her his hand to help her stand up as well. "I was thinking more along the lines of my bed." He didn't let go of her hand as he guided her toward the stairs.
Sasha stopped at the foot of the stairs. "I will explain everything to you later today but I think it might be better if we slept in the guestroom." 'And even that may be confusing if Tyler finds us in there.' She thought.
"Why Sasha? My bed is so much more comfortable." He squeezed her hand. "I promise nothing is going to happen."
"It is not that Brian." She bit her lip. "It is something Tyler said last night. I will explain it to you later tonight. I just think it might be better for us to sleep in the guestroom."
Brian nodded. He wrinkled his brow. "Is Tyler OK?"
"He is a smart little boy, Brian. Very observant. He'll be fine."
"He is very observant." Brian confirmed. He stopped outside of the guestroom and looked at Sasha. "Do you want something more comfortable to sleep in?"
Sasha nodded. "Thanks Brian. I think I would be much more comfortable if I didn't try sleeping in my jeans."
"Be right back." He said heading toward his bedroom. He returned a few minutes later wearing flannel bottoms and a t-shirt. He handed similar attire to Sasha.
"Thanks Brian." She replied taking the clothes. "I'll change and be right in." She walked toward the bathroom.
