The Breeding

chapter 8

I wake up feeling something brush against my nose, I sleepily swat it away and try to go back to sleep.

Then I feel it again.

I groan in annoyance and hide my face deeper into my pillow.

I hear muffled laughter right next to me making my whole body jolt up and I start to panic.

The laughing immediately stops, I'm breathing hard and my heart is pounding in my chest.

I look over and see A guy with such pretty blue eye's looking at me with guilt and concern on his face, he nervously runs his hand through his pitch black hair and I notice he has A long scar running up the length of his neck ending on his right cheek.

I sadly wonder what happened to him to get that scar.

I finally remember where I am and my heartbeat slows down, I also realize that I was not laying on the couch alone.

I look away from the guy with the blue eye's and see that my pillow was not A pillow but A passed out Larsyn's firm chest. And at the other end of the couch Lorenzo is also sleeping with his legs wrapped up in mine and Larsyn's.

We must have all fallen asleep and somehow got mixed up together in our sleep.

I remember why I woke up and look up to the attractive guy with the scar who I now realize is kneeling next to the couch behind me, still looking worried.

"Hi" I whisper to him.

He inhales sharply while staring into my eye's " Hi..... I'm sorry I scared you I didn't mean to but you looked so adorable sleeping and it was cute watching your nose scrunch up" he shrugs sheepishly.

I blush and bring my fingers to my nose subconsciously, I've never been called adorable before.

I put my hand back down and turn around so my whole body is facing him now.

"It's ok, did you need something....?" I softly whisper to him as to not wake the other's.

He smiles at me and nods but before he opens his mouth to tell me what, I feel Larsyn move behind me, his arm wraps around my waist and pulls me back against him and he snuggles into my back letting out A happy breath.

I gasp and blush again not knowing what to do now that I'm trapped under his arm but also liking the feeling of him holding me to him in his sleep.

I look up to the guy again and shyly smile at him in embarrassment.

He's quietly laughing at me, making him look so handsome and young that's it's mesmerizing to look at him.

He stops laughing but still has A big smile on his face " I don't think we've properly met, my name is Nyx" he introduces.

I've never heard that name before but I love it, it reminds me of the night sky and his dark blue eye's.

I smile and extend my hand " Vaia" I respond.

He shakes my hand but doesn't let go of it after like you normally would. I don't pull it back curious to see what He'll do.

"I want to show you something" he tells me excitedly and softly pulls on my hand trying to convince me to get up with him.

I smile at him and slowly start to wiggle out of larsyn's hold trying not to wake him up in the process. After I successfully get free Nyx stands up and pulls me with him.

He tower's over me by alot and I feel like A young child next to him but I don't hate it.

"Ok, show me" I insisted.

He still has my hand in his much bigger one, leading me out of the living room and towards the kitchen we were in earlier.

He's giddy as he drags me to A counter and lifts A lid from A pan to show me what's inside, it's dark and cake like but I don't know what it is but it smells so delicious my stomach rumbles.

"what is it" I question excitedly.

"You don't know what brownies are?" He demands in disbelief.

I shake my head no and his mouth drops open in shock making me giggle at his over dramatic reaction.

" I'm about to change your life little bird" he announces proudly.

He walks over to A drawer and starts looking in it but not finding what he wanted so he closes it and opens another and another untill he triumphantly pulls out what he needed.

Walking back over to me he starts cutting the brownie with A big knife, handing me a big piece without A plate to put it on.

He looks at me expectantly waiting for me to try it " go on, taste it!"  He demands.

I bring it to my mouth and take A small bite, it's the best thing I've ever tasted!!

I moan out loud and shove more into my mouth closing my eye's in pure bliss over the sweet desert.

I open my eye's to see him staring down at me with pure happiness and something else on his face.

"You like it!" He beamed.

"It's the best thing I've ever had in my whole life" I tell him honestly.

He looks ecstatic at my statement and hurriedly hands me more to eat. I smile so big it hurts my mouth and shove the whole piece in my mouth at once.

He bursts out laughing.

I chew it all up and swallow it before asking "Can I have something to drink?"

"Of course, what would you like?" He asks me as he walks over to A big fridge and opens it for me to look in.

"May I have some milk?" I request.

He nods and reaches for it then head's to the cabinets to get A cup down for me, he fills the glass and hands it over to me.

As he puts the milk back I chug the whole glass and put it on the counter.

He comes back over and puts the lid back on the brownies,  I feel like hugging him but I'm nervous he won't like that.

I contemplate it for A little bit before deciding I'll just do it and see how he reacts.

He turns facing me completely and I rush to him and wrap my arm's around his waist and putting my face against his chest.

It takes him A second to react like he wasn't expecting it but he puts his arm's around my and holds me tightly to him.

"Thank you for the brownies" I mumble into him.

He squeezes me tighter and kisses my head " You're welcome little bird I'm glad you like them".

I smile and then step back from him and blush. I'm about to say something but A loud bang sounds throughout the house making me jump and move towards Nyx to hide.

Before I reach him another loud bang rattles the whole house making me cry out in fear and I drop to the floor and huddle into A ball, I feel him wrap himself around me protecting me from whatever is happening around us.
