On My Own Time

Chapter 26

I woke up to Victor's groans. His phone was going off and he was rather annoyed. I heard his hand hit the bedside table in search for his phone and when he finally found it he sighed and pulled me closer while answering.

"Hello?" He answered, his voice deep and rusty from just waking up.

I was so close to him that I could hear Caden's laugh through the other end. Of course it had to be him to wake us up.

"Man, were you sleeping?"

"Fuck off, I was very comfortable," he snapped and ran his hand through my hair.

"Whatever dude. Can I come over?"

I tensed up but soon relaxed as Victor said, "No, I'm going back to sleep. I won't answer the door and will close and lock all the windows so you won't be able to get in."

"You suck, man. What? You got someone there with you?"

If possible, Victor pulled me even closer to his body and I snuggled in.

"I just want to sleep. Go bother someone else."

"Sure, sure. Goodnight, princess."

"I'll break your arm the next time I see you," he said and hung up.

I couldn't help the small chuckle that left my lips. I didn't know Victor talked that way with his friends. He was always so nice and respectful. Everyone loved him. He was smart, athletic, kind, and of course, popular. Before we really talked he would wave his hand at me through the school halls but that was because he knew me as his neighbor. I had to thank Caden for becoming his friend and giving me the chance to actually talk to him. Of course, I'm not actually going to thank Caden.

"I can't fall back to sleep," he whined and I laughed, looking up at his pouty face.

"What time is it?" I asked and laid my head on his chest.

"It's about to be five," he sighed and gently began to run his fingers through my hair repeatedly.

"I should probably get going. Max is most likely gonna show up to my place after his date to tell me all about it," I laughed lightly and got up.

Victor grabbed my arm and pulled me back down, rolling over me and holding himself up so he was hovering above me. He stared down at me while a grin and I laughed and shook my head. He was so goofy.

"Stay," he whispered and gave my lips a kiss.

"I would but Max will know something's up," I said with a smile as his lips went to my neck.

"Please," he weakly begged.

"I should go and see if my mom needs anything anyways," I said but didn't move to get up.

Victor lifted his head and chuckled, leaning down and slowly kissing me. My hands gently wrapped around his neck and one of his hands grabbed my waist.

"You sure?" He whispered, laying his forehead down on mine.

"Sadly, yes," I said and pecked his lips once more.

He dramatically sighed and flopped down beside me. I laughed and sat up, grabbed my shoes and started to put them on. I felt the bed dip right behind me and soon his soft lips kissed the skin of my neck. He arms snaked around my waist and pulled me back a but, his soft kisses littering my neck. Damn him, I didn't want to leave before and much less now.

"Can I see you tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, I'm going to buy materials for the camping trip tomorrow with Max and them. We usually eat after and hang out for the rest of the day."
