Chapter 14



Kaylin

Once more I woke up in Scott's bed, I remember falling asleep in his arms. I felt horrible, I cried so much, I slept too long, I hadn't eaten in days it seemed. I rolled out of the bed and made my way to the living room, I just felt that's where Scott was. Rounding the corner I saw him talking to Calvin and checking his phone. He seemed tense, even turned to the side I could see he was upset, I felt that he was stressed. It's as if I could feel my own body tensing from stress or anxiety.

Seeing as I was still here, and so was he, I took that as a good sign. I walked up to him and timidly placed my hand on his lower back, feeling him instantly calm himself and stand straight. He pulled me into a tight hug and inhaled deeply, almost like he was smelling my hair. Even his odd behavior I was falling in love with, love?

"Finally up sleepy head," I instantly relaxed. He was wasn't mad, I told him and he hadn't kicked me out yet. Maybe he meant that he wanted me.

"I'm sorry I slept so much," whispering as hanging my head low.

"It's good to get some rest Kaylin, you've been...stressed," Calvin finished being cut off from a low growl from Scott. I assumed Scott had told him, I gave him a apologetic smile. Oddly I didn't mind Calvin knowing, he seemed nice and I was oddly comfortable around him.

"I think Kaylin and I should talk, I'll call you later about the appointment," breaking the silence Scott never released his hold on me.

"Of course, call me if you need anything before then," he said as he got his jacket and made his way to us. He patted Scott on the shoulder, and gave me a affectionate look, not pity though. Calvin seemed to understand more than I gave him credit for, he didn't make me feel stupid, or even weak. He made me feel indifferent, normally that would sound bad, in fact that's all I wanted. To be utterly indifferent.

"Thank you Calvin," I said looking straight into his eyes. I wanted him to see I really did mean it. Thank you on a deeper level than words. Scott noticed the stare from Calvin and coughed moving along to the door. I heard them mumble some more goodbyes then Scott reclaimed his position beside me.

"I should probably order some more food, this is old and was left out. You haven't eaten since our date, that was the night before last," sure enough I looked at the clock on the microwave and it was 5:07 in the morning.

Where had those hours gone, so much had happened so quickly. Within less than a week I had met this-this God. This perfect man, in everyway I had seen so far. His perfect body, I still wanted to feel and see more of him, his voice vibrated through my body like the sweetest of melodies that could ever be composed. What rocked me to my core was his touch, those electric sparks that managed to crawl into the smallest veins and ignite inside of me. They revived parts of my body and soul that I had long ago thought had died.

"I can warm them up Scott, it's really not a problem," arguing. No reason to waste food, admittedly there was more food here than I would eat in a whole week. It seemed like he ordered everything on what I assume was a menu.

"Positive? I don't mind, I rather order you something you could pick of at least fresh. It won't go to waste if that's what you're worried about. Please-," he sighed as he rested his hands on my shoulders once again igniting millions of fires under my skin. "Just please let me take care of you right now," he pleaded.

I could hear the need in his voice, it's as if right now this is all that could his hold fragile soul together. I didn't know a man this strong could sound so soft, so vulnerable.
