"Hali, wake up," someone whispered in my ear.
I jolted awake and arms shot around me. Breathing hard I look around to see Zhan holding me.
"Where are we?"
"We are safe."
"You didn't answer my question."
"This woman had a room or rather a guest house up for rent. So I rented it for the next couple of weeks."
"Will they find us?"
"I'm not going to lie to you. They will eventually. We just have to be faster than them."
Nodding to him, I sit up on what ever I was on. Raising an eyebrow, I looked at him.
"Yeah, I moved you in the house. While you were asleep."
"You feel of anything while moving me?" I eyed him suspiciously.
"No. I just put you in here, locked the car, locked us in here, and fell asleep. On the floor."
"You slept on the floor?" I gasped.
"Yep."
"We're adults. You could have slept on the bed."
"Nah. Just better if I slept on the floor. You said you didn't want to sleep with me, remember?" He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Oh haha. You know what I meant," I said shoving him off the bed.
He laughed, ducking his head under the edge of the bed. I didn't even notice his arms til I was lifted off of my feet. He tossed me on the bed and snaked his arms under my legs, pulling me almost off the bed. Giggling, I jerked my legs out of his grip and jumped to my feet. He rose to his feet smiling at me. Oh, no shirt again huh? I thought with a grin.
I lunged off the bed after him, he gasped when we both hit the floor. I stuck my tongue out and laughed at him.
"I told you if you didn't put a shirt on that I would tackle your ass, right?"
"Oh, so your good on your word huh?" He smiled, putting his hands on my ass.
Rolling my eyes he wiggled his eyebrows.
"What does that mean?"
"A kiss?" He pouted.
Nodding to him, I put my lips over his. The fire that we had started to burn. He groaned, holding me tighter onto him.
"Zhan, we can't," I murmured against his lips.
We rolled over til he rested just above me. His brows were scrunched up. I put my hands up and massaged his forehead.
"What's going on, big guy?" I whispered.
"I want you more than I want to breathe. I don't understand why because I just met you," he muttered.
"It's okay to feel things you haven't felt before."
"Yeah, maybe your dumbass is right," he said sticking his tongue out.
I slapped the back of his head and he widened his eyes.
"Ow!" He growled.
"Oh did I do that? I am soooooo sorry asshole."
His laugh warmed me, knowing that I could make that happen. He jumped off me and offered his hand to me. Raising up, I took it as he jerked me up and gasped in pain. I glared at him.
"Owwwwwwwww! Pain! So much paiiiiin!" I yelped loudly.
"What is it!" He demanded.
"I think you popped my arm out!" I whimpered, glaring at him.
