I Want You

Chapter 2

Lennon.

I awake with a groan, glancing around at the unfamiliar room in confusion as I slowly sit up. A tall, pale, half naked guy struts by and flashes me a crooked grin when my bleary eyes clear.

"Good morning, Lennon Rose!" He greets me loudly and I wince at the volume of his voice.

He lets out a quiet chuckle as he leaves what I now realize is the living room of his house and enters the kitchen. I dig my fingers into my temple and make small circles as my head throbs. It's not the worst hangover I've ever had but a hangover nonetheless. I need food, coffee and some ibuprofen and then I should feel more like a human.

I drank way more than I originally planned. Ace kept making us drinks and I had such a fun time dancing and laughing with Tayen and Ace. Xan disappeared after our interaction and Jax made it his life mission to see how far he could get his tongue down Akira's throat. Not that I'm jealous or anything. Ace's friend Draven Kingswood showed up at some point and I was surprised my underwear didn't disintegrate from the heated looks he kept shooting me. He's cute but he's no Jax. It wasn't the first time I'd hung out with Draven, like Ace Dravens on the football team and he also plays basketball so we see a lot of each other.

I sit there for a while until I feel slightly more human then I reach down and snatch my sequined pants from the floor. A door opens down the hall just as I'm tugging my pants up and Jax and Akira enter the living room. She looks beautiful and well put together while I'm sure I look like I was rode hard and put up wet. They get a flash of my underwear before my pants are in place and I give them an awkward smile.

I reach up and feel my hair, somehow the strands stayed in the space buns I pinned them up in last night although they don't feel as neatly done as they once were. I try not to stare as Jax kisses Akira at the door and then shuts it behind her but it's hard. He's dressed in a pair of low riding sweatpants and his body is beautiful.

"Good morning, Lily." He smiles as he walks by me.

"It's Lennon actually." I mutter, although he doesn't hear me as he quickly disappears back down the hall and into the room he came from.

"Don't take it personally, Jax is horrible with names. Akira is lucky he remembers hers." Xan says from the doorway of the kitchen, biting into what looks to be a breakfast burrito.

"I hope he's better at remembering the anatomy of a human or he's not going to be a very successful doctor." I state.

Xan glares. "Don't doubt him when it comes to school."

I bite my lip as I realize I may have offended him but I don't apologize.

"Can I have one of those?" I ask eyeing his food as he takes another bite and my stomach lets out a loud grumble.

He gives me a shrug and disappears back into the kitchen so I follow him. Xan has more muscle than Jax but he's still lean, just slightly more defined. Tattoos cover his neck, shoulders and the top of his chest. He's going to make a hot doctor, I can easily admit that even though he's annoying. I watch in surprise as he spoons scrambled eggs and crumbled sausage onto a tortilla. I thought it was something he pulled out of the freezer and nuked in the microwave, not something he made himself.

"Do you like Kimchi?" He asks as he twists the lid off a jar. "It's homemade by my Mom."

I give him a shrug. "I've never tried it."

Odds are I'll like it, there's very few things I won't eat.

He adds the Kimchi to the burrito and tops it with shredded cheese. "If you don't like it, I'll eat it."
