tell me your pretty lies

chapter 40.5

I'm dreaming about the things I did to Leighton when suddenly I hear a small giggle.

I open my eyes for a moment, disoriented, and try to take in my surroundings.

My vision focuses and I see Leighton staring at me.

I can't help but smile.

 "Morning," I murmur.

"Morning," She replies softly and her cheeks turn red.

So it wasn't a dream.

Nice.

I tighten my arm around her, pulling her closer. "You okay?" I ask.

I don't want her hurt.

She nods. "Yeah, I'm good. Really good."

I press a gentle kiss to her forehead, and she closes her eyes. "Last night was... yup," I whisper slightly.

"Yeah, it was," She agrees. "But I don't regret it."

Thank fuck.

"Neither do I," I say, myeyes locking onto hers.

We lay there for a while, wrapped in each other's arms, the silence between us comfortable and she feels safe.

I like that.

I eventually prop myself up with my elbow and stare at her.

"What do you want to do today?" I brush a strand of hair from her face.

"I don't know," She admits, smiling up at me. "Just stay here for a while longer?"

"Sounds good." I reply.

"I need a shower first so I'll be right back." She smiles.

"Okay, take your time."

She slips out of bed and I watch her ass as she walks to the bathroom.

God what the fuck is wrong with me?

My focus should be hockey, not girls.

Girl. Singular.

There's only one.

Her.

She's so gorgeous. Inside and out.

I love when she calls me Malakai.

Nobody ever caed me Malakai. Not even my mother.

Leighton returns wrapped in a fluffy town..

"My turn?" I tease.

"Sure, the showers always open." She shrugs. 

I do my thing in the shower before wrapping a towel around my waist and exiting. I put toothpaste on my toothbrush and brush my teeth.

"I yuzd your sohp." I tell Leighton.

"What?" She laughs.

I hold up a finger return to the bathroom to spit out the remaining toothpaste.

"I used your soap," I clarify.

"Ohh! That's okay," She smiles.

"Kai," I hear he say so I walk into the hallway.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Yes," She smiles.

What?

"Yes what?" I say, confused.

"Yes to being your girlfriend,"

I walk into the bathroom so a split second to mentally prepare myself.

I rush back and scoop her up and spin her around. I lower her and place a kiss on her soft lips.

"I mean it's like whatever," I shrug, because it's really nothing.

She boops my nose.

I scrunch up my nose before kissing her once more.
