Chapter Nine.

Jayden had made sure to visit the next day, wanting to check on me because well- he’s Jayden.

“How have you been feeling? Rova and Calla went to third period so I could skip and come visit you.” He said as he threw his coat onto the ground.

“I’m not sick, you guys don’t have to ‘check’ on me all the time.” I said as I rolled my eyes.

He shrugged, “I like to know if you’re okay.”

I nodded slowly, “are we going to talk about..what happened yesterday?”

He met my eyes. “And what exactly happened?” He sat down on the couch next to me.

I cleared my throat, “I- well- we-”

He raised an eyebrow.

“Let me remind you?” He asked, I nodded quickly, causing him to laugh.

“First… I did this…” His hand lifted to my cheek and held my face.

“Then I did this…” He slowly leaned in, his lips barely an inch away from mine.

“Then…” He whispered as my eyes rolled back.

“Rova and Calla came back.” He said casually, leaning back and sitting in his original position.

“I-” I began but didn’t know what else to say.

He smirked, “I’m sorry, were you expecting something else? You said you wanted a reminder of what did happen yesterday, not what could’ve happened yesterday.”

“Well I wouldn’t have minded that either.” I grumbled.

“So would you like me to show you that instead?” He asked.

My ears burned, but I nodded.

His hand found my face again as he leaned in. He rubbed his thumb across my bottom lip and smiled.

I felt my face go red, I knew I looked stupid but he was so close that I didn’t care.

I couldn’t think when he was this close. When I could feel his cool breath on my face and smell his warm scent.

His soft lips met mine as he kissed me gently, his tongue slipping into my mouth. I let out a soft hum, not being able to keep it in.

He chuckled into the kiss but continued, kissing me deeply. I found myself on top of him, straddling him and bringing my hands to his cheeks.

He moved his lips to my neck as I leaned further into him, breathing hard.

He sucked softly, then harder.

I knew hickies were forming that were going to be hard to explain but I didn’t care.

A quiet and soft moan left my lips and I could feel his smile against my neck, his teeth that grazed my skin.

He lifted me off of him and laid me onto the couch as he hovered over me, lifting my shirt and kissing my collar bone.

His hands held me tightly as his lips met mine again, kissing me aggressively.

He backed away and smiled as he stood.

“I’ve got to get to class.” He hummed with a proud smile.

I was still panting and had my hands covering my face.

“Mhm- yeah.” I responded.

He laughed, “So…I’ll see you later?”

“Yep.” I panted.

“When would you like to have another one of these reminders?”

His words were not registering in my mind as I continued to think about his body.

“Yeah.” I answered.

He laughed again and left the dorm

Oh my god.

I just made out with Jayden.

I just made out…with Jayden.

Holy fucking shit.
