part 5 (h/n's pov)

I quickly take my hand back when her body jerks with a sneeze.

"How long have you been awake-" I ask dumbfounded.

She opens one eye first, peeking at me guiltily before opening the other.

"Long enough." Y/n says under her breath as she sits up on her bed, folding her knees to her chest.

My mouth hangs open an inch, trying to figure out what to say, or do.

"I got carried away. Sorry." I end up saying the first thing that came to my head.

In a tone of disbelief, she laughs to herself, "Cold again, huh? Just a moment ago, there was actually the old you seeping through."

I bite my tongue and swallow the guilt that gnaws at me. I can sense the hurt in her voice, and fuck does it hurt me too.

Her body turns to face me, scooting to get closer to me but without realising, I've instinctively leaned backwards.

Noticing, she pauses and stares at me, "I'm not gonna do anything you don't want. Calm down."

If only you knew what I wanted.

"You should go back to sleep. It's late, and you drank a lot. You might wake up with a bad hangover in the morning if you don't get enough rest." I say firmly.

Y/n rolls her eyes, "No way, you actually care about me."

I dig my nails into my palm at her words even though I know she's just trying to get at me, "Y/n, you know I do."
