Princess In My Eyes

A Pernicious Rooming

*Edited 7/23/18*

Chapter Seventeen

Ah, sleep. It felt heavenly as I began falling asleep even as I blink. I plummeted my face into the pillows on the hotel bed and didn't even take the effort to change into something more comfortable. It took almost three hours to drive from LAX to a Marriott hotel near moonlight beach and the sun is already setting.

I kept pointing out places that I had been to, to the boys. They got all excited like elementary school girls about seeing the beach because a few of them never had and the others barely get to see a decent beach. 

Texas beaches are dirty compared to the tropical feeling of some California beaches, although, they are warmer. I ached to lounge in the sun and twirl through the waves for the entire trip, but my mind regretted wandered to the upcoming game and the crawling effects of sleep washed away and I woke up with worry. 

I groan when I felt the button in my jeans punch into my stomach, and after a few regretful minutes, I got up slowly and slid my pants off. I really don't want to take the time to change since I just want to sleep.

Luckily I am wearing my brother old baggy Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt, so I simply left the shirt on and slid my bra off, sighing with relief when my boobs were finally free. I was halfway asleep when I heard the creak of my door opening, and me being an awfully light sleeper, I shot up and pulled the covers up to my chest.

Ky's facial expression looked just as surprised as mine. "Well this is awkward." He mumbles while diverting his eyes at the best of his ability. "What the hell are you doing?" I shouted at him. I left the covers to pool at my waist, only covering my half bare legs.

"There has been a miss-happening apparently and now we are sharing a room. They got enough rooms for pairs and forgot about you being separate." He says and walks into the room fully. He shuts the door behind him and sets down his duffel bag beside mine.

"U-Um, can you hand m-me a pair of my blue shorts." I blush fiercely due to embarrassment that this truly has to happen. Why me? Why does this have to happen to me? Of course karma has to be a super asshole to me. "Coach has been calling, but you didn't pick up." Ky explained.

I mentally slapped myself as I looked over at my blinking phone on the nightstand. "I mean, I can room with Coach if you'd prefer..." Ky offered but I waved my hand. "It's fine, I am just surprised that the school is allowing this." I mumbled as he went through my bag. 

"That's the thing," he paused for a moment, "they don't really know." Ky throws me a pair of my comfy shorts and I slip them under the sheets that's when realization hit me like when puberty hits a young, ugly boy hard and he turns hot. There is only one bed in here. 

"I can sleep on the couch." I mumble and rush over to set up my own little bed. "Nonsense, here..." Ky says and starts to pile pillows up in the middle of the bed. He grins at me and I could care less right now, all I want is sleep.

I run and flop in the bed without second thoughts as Ky beings chuckling. A few seconds later I feel the bed tip and even with the pillows in the middle I can feel the heat coming off of Ky's body.

I fell asleep quickly with the personal heater located on the opposite side of the pillows of me. With Ky in the room, surprisingly, nothing felt out of the norm even though I was currently sharing a bed with a guy I'm supposed to hate. I actually feel more secure that he's here.

I wanted to cry once the sunlight draping through the windows managed to break through my sealed-shut eyelids. I pushed myself up and looked across the bed, but Ky isn't there. I feel like hitting myself to see if it's truly a reality of what happened to me yesterday.
