Chapter seven
My eyes flutter open and realize that I’m alone in my new bed. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqjMl3UqsI
The moon shines in from the large window which doesn’t have a curtain yet. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU7RXXjnsN
It's a full moon. Ravishing. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxE1U1cII
I love the moon. My bladder feels as if it's about to burst, though.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1T0Dw5SX
I get up and out of my bed. Where’s Skylar? She should’ve been back by now.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VV0VFUIi4
Maybe I should’ve gone with her. Yeah, it sounded really fun but I was starting to get tired. I don’t remember falling asleep. I look over at Skylar’s bed expecting It to be empty but instead, I see a body. I let out a tiny scream. The person jerks awake. I back up a little bit. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Ll5l7dN4
The person sits up and rubs their eyes.
"Novah? Are you okay?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdqBwAMNwV
As soon as I hear the voice I know who it is. I recognize it. Matt. What is he doing here?
"Matt, why are you here?” I ask. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrthH0p9BG
"Oh. Skylar took my car to go to a party. I’m just crashing here for the night. Why did you scream? Did something happen?” he asks. I don’t understand this dude. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYwIl4H8gU
THAT’S what he’s worried about? I have a fucking stranger sleeping in my room for fuck's sake. A hot stranger but still a stranger. "Hmm?" he asks again. Oh. Matt. I spaced out for a sec.
"I didn’t expect anyone to be sleeping in Skylar’s bed so I got a little scared,” I reply.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHY7oYWmq4
"Oh. Where are you going?” He asks. After about 3 hours of knowing him, I can tell that he’s an intrusive person, needing to know everything about one’s life.
”The bathroom.” I respond. He immediately stands up, finds a shirt, and puts it on. I can’t help but notice how the moon beams on his back, illuminating the black ink on his skin. His back muscles are impeccable. At that moment I get an impulse to catapult myself at him out of just my pure attraction to him. But no, I tell myself, he’s an asshole and I just met him. He sits on the bed and pulls on his shoes. I thought he was staying for the night?
"Where are you going?" I ask.
"With you." He replies, casually, like its normal to accompany an adult woman to the bathroom. The fuck is wrong with him? I’m not two. If he thinks he’s coming with me to the bathroom then he’s got another thing coming.
"You are soooooo not coming with me. You’re not gonna walk me down to the bathroom. I’m not two!" I shout.
"You’re right," Finally he’s starting to get the memo, "I’m not gonna walk you down to the bathroom, I’m staying with you the entire time that you’re down there, walk you back up and stay the rest of the night. It was never a suggestion." he says barely raising his voice. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtOEm1oepX
I’m shocked. But that’s not all. I’m also….aroused? The way he’s taking charge and ordering me around. Mmmm. But I’m way angrier than I am turned on. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNM6Ezd06
How dare he tell me what to do?! Two can play this motherfucking game. I plop down on the edge of my bed and cross my arms. After a few beats of silence, he says "I didn’t wake up for this shit. Are you going or not?"
"I’m going alone," I say defiantly.
"Not happening," he replies immediately. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz2Xz2O2ti
Fuckkkkkk. I need to pee so badly. I’m in the middle of trying to prove a point to this beautiful bastard. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1xaw4BGuu
Fuck him. I stand up and quickly put on my shoes and dart out of the door. I run down the hall and pull open the door to the stairwell. I quickly run down the stairs. I can hear him close behind. I don’t think he’s going as fast as he could be.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxexcGuHP1L
He’s letting me win. I open the door at the bottom of the stairwell and then all of a sudden I feel his arms around me. I start laughing. I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just excited. I’m slung over his shoulder and he’s carrying me the rest of the way to the bathroom. I’m just laughing my ass off at this point. I know I shouldn’t be because people are sleeping but I’m just having fun.
"Where did you think you were going, Missy?" He whispers in my ear. He sets me down in front of the wall outside of the bathroom. He backs me up against the wall. Inches away from my face he says, "Just listen to me next time, and then I won’t have to come to get you. Ok?” His voice sounds deep and husky. Hungry, almost. All I’d have to do is tilt my head up just a little bit. I want to kiss him so badly. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXMthSFhkC
I’d usually never think about kissing a stranger but he doesn’t feel like a stranger, he feels like home. And I know It's stupid and irrational but its how I feel.
"Why did you want to come with me?” I ask softly, as he’s so close to my face. I can tell that he wants to put his hands on me but he doesn’t want to overstep a boundary that he’s already overstepped. His hands are awkwardly placed on either side of me. I can see straight into his autumn green eyes because he maintains eye contact.
"It's too dangerous being down here this late at night. Anything can happen." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8SH26HtSg
Sounds like words of someone who has experienced something traumatizing. He leans in closer to me and I close my eyes expecting a kiss. Then, I don’t feel the warmth of his body. I open my eyes and he’s leaning on the wall next to me. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDzJ3wx4qH
I’m such an idiot! Of course, he wasn’t going to kiss me. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihJo85e9n
He barely knows me. I run into the bathroom in embarrassment. I walk into a stall and lock it. I can’t believe I actually expected and wanted a kiss from him. Why do I trust him when he’s been nothing but an asshole? Why do I trust him at all? I barely know him? 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkSUbycwDp
You know he’s hot my, mind shoots back. Shut up! I say to the tiny voice in my head. That reminds me, I really need to pee.
