CHAPTER 44: Little Monster

CHAPTER 44: Little Monster

I wake up in my living room with Christian asleep underneath me. One arm is lazily dangling off the side of the couch and the other is on my back. I'm suddenly startled by noise in the kitchen and I jump slightly causing Christian to open his eyes.

"Oh she's up," he murmurs. "But it's fine so are we." He smirks at me. "...and other things, too."

My face flushes. "Shut the fuck up," I hiss and get up to go piss.

He just laughs and I curse as I walk to the bathroom.

Minutes later I walk back to the living room and grab my pants. I follow the sound of talking in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Melanie. How did you sleep?"

She gives him a pointed look. Then turns to see me standing there naked as I attempt to put my pants on.

Christian's icy eyes sparkle as he laughs. "Oh, you heard that did you?"

Melanie laughs sarcastically and then scoffs. "Heard that? I—"

I look at her hoping she'll shut up. She catches my eye and huffs. "Yeah, I wasn't able to sleep much," she mumbles.

Christian laughs again. "I'm sorry but Kyle's very resistant."

"Oh yeah. I'm sure it's all him," she adds with more sarcasm.

I glare at her as I finish buttoning my pants. Then she says the craziest thing.

"So are you two going to get married?"

I feel as my face heats up and I'm at a loss for words.

Christian laughs loudly then smiles at me. "Well, I'd say that's up to Kyle, huh, handsome?"

My face flushes more. "W-what?!"

Melanie smiles. "That's not a problem," she says, "I think Kyle's in love with you, Christian."

He arches a brow at that and grins at me.

"Don't be ridiculous," I hiss. "What the fuck even made you think that?"

Melanie smiles cheekily at me as I sit down.

Christian gives Melanie a peculiar smile. "What did make you think that?"

"Kyle seems happy with you," she says suddenly.

I stare at her blankly.

What the fuck...

"Well of course he seems happy with me," he says and his icy eyes look directly at mine. "I can keep up with him."

A small taunting smile tugs at his lips and I feel as my face flushes again.

Goddammit! What was wrong with me today?!

Melanie giggles. "I think he just likes you."

The sparkle in Christian's eyes seems to glisten. "Is that so?"

My face is hot and I struggle to compose even a fragment of a witty remark. "Fuck off!"

Melanie giggles again. "See! He can't even talk!"

I knew she was just messing around but I was starting to get annoyed and even a little angry. For whatever reason, my face was hot and flushed from embarrassment and I didn't like it one bit.
