Just Between Us

Chapter Sixteen

Elizabeth's POV

The biggest surprise wasn't what happened between Divya and I last night, no, it was the fact that she was still in my bed when I woke up this morning. I didn't dare move, I didn't want her to wake up—at least not yet. I liked to watch her sleep... in a non-creepy way of course.

She was absolutely gorgeous.

Her long black curls messily splattered over the white pillows, her smooth brown skin half covered by the sheets and her plump pink lips opened just a little as her chest went up and down, her breathing calm and steady. I could detail her all day without getting bored, she was just beautiful.

I moved a strand of hair out of her face and apparently that was enough for her eyes to flutter just slightly open and then shutting back again with a groan.

"Well I thought you were in a deeper sleep." I commented and moved closer to her.

"I am." Divya muttered with closed eyes.

I hummed, "Yeah definitely." I thought about it for a second before I went and began to plant soft kisses over her shoulder, causing her to shift.

"Elizabeth." Was the only thing Divya said.

God the way my name slipped off her mouth was so satisfying to hear.

"Yes?" I asked as I got on top of her under the sheets—a moan almost escaping me when our naked warm bodies came in touch.

"We—" Divya's words were interrupted by a moan of her own as my mouth came in contact with her neck. Making sure to leave another hickie on her skin to accompany the others I had left last night.

But that was cut short when I felt Divya grab my face with one of her hands to detach it from her neck—her hand holding my face by my jaw. I stared back at her with a smirk and a questioning brow.

"Stop that, you have me looking like I got mauled by animals already." She complained—her thick brows furrowed. The sight was quite adorable.

"I actually like the way they look on you."

"You are just possessive." The mere sentence was enough to ignite something in me. I let my hand caress her face while the other one traveled south.

"Elizabeth..." Divya gave me a look, knowing what I was up to, but to my own luck my phone began ringing on the nightstand. I sighed when I took a peak of the phone from the bed and sighed when I saw who it was.

"You could just ignore that." Divya suggested when she noticed me moving to go get the phone.

"I wish I could, believe me." I responded trying my best to not let my aggravation show. I really wish I could just ignore the call.

As I grabbed the phone I felt the bed shift and saw Divya now standing up and getting ready to leave. I looked at the vibrating phone on my hand and decided to forget it for a few more seconds. "You don't have to go." I said pathetically.

Divya turned her face to look at me and raised a brow. "I'm going to take a shower while you tend to your impossible to ignore call."

"Don't be like that Div, it won't take me long." I opened my arms and signaled her to come. "Come back to bed."

"No. But good try." She shot me a mischievous smile and didn't bother to look back again as she made her way out of my bedroom, making me feel a little bit disappointed that she won't be using my shower, but at the same time felt immensely aroused by seeing her —still naked— frame walk away.
