Christians POV

Once the sun rises, I wake up to something slightly weighing me down. My mind instantly recalls the events of last night, and a big smile spreads across my lips when I look down and see Elle fast asleep on my chest.

It was still a lot to process. She liked me. She wanted me. She chose me over Hunter too. Who would've fucking thought. It was exciting and scary all at the same time, worth it too. The main thing I'm concerned about is how this will all affect my personal investigation on Esme, but it's a risk I'm willing to take for the beautiful girl who was now flickering her eyes open.

The sunlight from outside hit her skin, and gave her an extra glow. Her long brown hair was scattered across my chest. If it were up to me, I'd be thrilled with her going to bed naked but I couldn't risk my roommate coming back in the middle of the night and seeing her. I'd have to strangle him. I was the only person to ever have her like this, and I loved it. I also loved the sight of her in my clothes.

"Good morning," She smiles lazily and rubs her eyes.

She's so precious. I lean down and kiss her forehead twice.

"Morning."

"I had the best sleep ever!" She exclaims with a slight chuckle. I smirk at her, as images of my tongue on her body come to mind.

"I wonder why?" I laugh.

"Ha ha, very funny."

She sits up, and rubs her eyes again.

"Shit!"

"What happened?"

I watch as she jumps out of bed, and scrambles to pick up her clothes.

"I have to go!" She's frantic at this point.

"Go where?" 

"Back to Camila! She's probably worried!"

I grin.

"Camila? That's what's on your mind right now?"

She's now throwing on her shorts, and slippers.

"I actually have a lot of other things on my mind, but let's not go there." She looks at me shyly.

"Oh, I wanna go there."

"Me too," She brings herself close to me. "But later."

I lean in and peck her lips.

She ends up going back to her room, and we agree to have a talk later.

Last night truly was one of the best ones in my life. Her mutual feelings for me are still a lot to wrap my head around, but it's worth it. We're in this together. Doesn't help that I know Hunter is out there trying to get her back though. If that piece of shit tries anything, he is finished. I have her, and I'm not letting go. I have a feeling we'll be alright though. She dated him for eight months, and he hasn't laid a finger on her yet after only a day I had my face buried in between her thighs. I don't mean to be petty, but it's clear who's doing something right. I wonder what he did to her that made her so uncomfortable in the first place. Has he ever tried forcing her? I'll murder him.

Calm down, Christian.

That was the past, and I'm gonna do everything I can to continuously have her feel safe, comfortable and happy.
