consequences of winning

part nine

If my life could not be any more of a struggle. It's the freaking call of mother nature and I'm in pain, I don't get moody but I do get bad cramps which leaves me lying in bed with my electric blanket on and a wheat pack pressed against my stomach.
A knock sounds at my door.
"Fair warning I'm in pain and in need of chocolate so if you don't have any leave now." I say from my bed.
Kevin's head pops in, and he smiles showing me a bag of m&ms and another bag of gummy bears.
"It's a good thing you're vmy favorite cousin, or I would have let you suffer with out your sustenance." Kevin's smile grows and he tosses the bags of goodness onto my bed. "By the way not the most creative way of getting away from Jayden."
Jayden is Kevin's room mate and I'm not gonna lie, he's freaking attractive. All toned muscle and a face that looks like it's carved by Angel's. My inner girl was ecstatic he would be staying with us. I was actually looking forward to spending the day with him, however mother nature is cruel and blessed me with the crimson sea this week.
"But it's all good little cousin because I'm going out with your family so Jay's gonna spend the day with you here." He pops out again and closes the door before I can say a word.
Another knock sounds at my door, and the door creaks open. I'm half conscious and have no intention of moving.
"Hey Kida. It's Jayden."
His voice is low and freaking attractive, much like his body... My inner girl is having a freaking party. I mumble and roll over to see him standing a few steps away from my door. He's wearing a white t-shirt with black sweat pants and his hair is ruffled like Kevin attracted him, but he makes it look good.
"I've been gifted an opportunity to look after you." He smiles showing of his adorable dimples. "I was thinking movies in the basement." Turns out he's scared of heights and couldn't bring himself to go up to the attic so I let him take my basement on the foldout couch that's more comfortable than it sounds due to the spare mattress and pile of blankets. I smile politely and try to sit up to get out of bed only to have my insides feeling like their shedding apart, oh wait they are.
"Woah are you okay Kida?" Jayden rushes forward, worry and panic showing clearly on his face. He scoops me up into his strong, warm arms and holds me against him, I hesitantly wrap my arms around his neck and I'm turned slowly to hock my legs around his waist.
"You're okay. You're okay." Jayden whispers to me as he strokes my hair with one hand, the other arm wrapped securely around me to hold me close. He bounces me slightly and then I feel us moving. I close my eyes and relish in this moment. One thing Kevin has gotten right so far is that Jayden is not his friend, Jayden isn't anything like them, he's sweet and doesn't avoid me on my period. I'm set down on the foldout couch in the basement and Jayden's heat leaves me, I pout reflectively and Jayden cups my cheek in his hand and kisses my forehead.
"I'll be right back, I gotta get your sustenance." Jayden winks and leaves quickly. I smile to myself and nestle further into his bed. He has an electric blanket too and I rejoice in the warmth it provides. I hear foot steps on the stairs and smile at Jayden as he makes his way to me holding my wheat pack and bags of goodness along with a bowl of popcorn.
"I just grabbed all the comedies and Disney movies." Jayden smiles shyly.
CUTE !!!!
either this guy is a real sweet heart or a good player. But at the moment I didn't care because he's being sweet and he's cute.
"Aww you think I'm cute." Jayden teases from the DVD player.
"Damit."
Jayden turns and smiles at me and it's like my heart is melting.
"You're pretty cute too." He bites his lip shyly and looks at the ground his cheeks tinted pink.
"So ummm... Movie?" I break the silence awkwardly and Jayden jumps into action.
"Oh yeah right." He grabs the remote, hits play and settles next to me, placing the bowl of popcorn on his lap. I have gummy bears so I'm all good.

I don't remember falling asleep but now I was at a half conscious state I was far to comfortable to wake up. I back was pressed up to Jaydens stomach, his arm around my waist, the other supporting my head.
"You're such a sweet thing Kida. I like you a lot but I'm just not ready yet. I'll tell you when you wake up. I just... I can't stop thinking about her when I look at you... I miss her you know... I really don't want to mess this up."
I knew I should tell him I'm up, should let him know. But I didn't I stayed silent, let him talk and kiss my neck then leave and I wanted to cry, not because he wasn't ready to be with me but because I was jealous of the girl who was keeping up apart.
You didn't like him like this to start with. What the hell happened.
I decided I'd call Jet after I finished sleeping. She's smart, she'll clear all this up. I fell into a dreamless sleep and woke with crippling pain in my stomach, freaking periods.
