Sleepyhead (Chap 8)

Amaya povs:

After nearly dying and clinging onto Dexter's waist for my life we ended up outside of a small house about half an hour away from school. Dexter gets off his motorbike and leans back, streching.

"Feel ok, Collins?" he glances at me while I try to bear at my surroundings

"If you consider almost dying at full speed, then sure. I'm ok," I mutter and glare at him.

He rolls his eyes and then links a muscular arm around my waist and hauls me off the motorcycle.

"Don't be dramatic, it wasn't that bad."

I shot him a glare and then slowly realised that we were outside an apartment block.

"Where the hell are we? This isn't where I live. You said you'll give me a ride home"

"Yeah, this is my home," he smirks and ducks as I try to swing a punch at him.

"You liar!! You can't just bring me to your house,"

"Don't worry, doll. You can crash over at my place,"

My eyes narrow and I try to hit him again but this time he catches my fist and pulls me close to him.

"We got hot chocolate," he grins at me, seeing my pissed expression.

"What an idiot, absolute idiot,"

"But you love it," he leans down and whispers to me.

I feel my face flush and pull away, matching past him, towards his door trying to ignore the butterflies feeling in my stomach for the a hundredth time this evening.

Dexter opens the door and we both head into his place as I look around.

It only had one floor but looked normal apart from the baby clothes and toys mixed with Dexters textbooks and his clothes everywhere.

"Sorry for the mess," he gave me a sheepish smile and tried to push it all under the couch.

"It's fine, it's not like-"

"DADDYY!!" A voice screams out.

All I see is a random small figure running and then tackling Dexter as Dexter laughs.

"Heya buddy, how are you doing?" he picks him up and brushes his hair from his face.

"I'm good....is that the pretty lady?" Luke smiles cheekily and glances at me.

Dexter shushes him and tries to cover up the fact that the tips of his ears have gone a reddish colour.

"That's the one who-"

"You're back, Dexter?" a familiar voice calls out and I look back to see Max

Well.Well.Well.

He sees me and then all of a sudden groans as I rise an eyebrow, feeling a smirk come on my face.

He's so done, I'm outing him to Milly about how he's being sneaky. That's what you get, sucker for taking away my best friend.

"Dexter, why is nerdy girl here?"

"To expose you to Milly," I smile back at him.

He shoots me a glare.

"Listen here, Milly loves me and I love her but, why is it my business to tell you guys everything?"

"Umm there's something called friendship, I don't know if you understand what it means,"

Max rolls his eyes and sighs, looking like a single mum with 4 kids.
