Earned it

Chapter 13

Ichigo's POV

It was now early in the morning. The ethereal light of the sun shone through the large window in the bedroom. Birds chirped loudly outside, their songs filled the quiet room with a bit of sound. Eventually dying off as they flew away.

I've been laying awake for a while, my mind was swimming with thoughts and and questions. Specifically about what Grimmjow did, and said last night.

I found the distance between Grimmjow and I was gone. His lips were pushed against mine, and one of his hands rested gently on my hip while the other one was holding my hand.
"I can't quite tell you that yet..Ichigo," He stated softly.

What the hell was that about? Why couldn't he tell me then? Was it really important? Questions like this filled my mind. None of which I was able to find an answer to, and I was sure if I asked Grimmjow, he'd give me some stupid and useless response. So I didn't bother doing that. Instead of wasting my time with that, I pushed myself up and climbed out of the bed. I pulled my arms over my head and stretched a bit. Walking downstairs afterwards.

"Hey Ichigo?" A low voice called as I reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes, Grimmjow?" I replied.

Grimmjow pulled the cigarette from his mouth and blew the smoke out past his lips. "Since we have today off, we should do something more exciting then just sitting around this damn house."

"If your idea of exciting is going out to get wasted," I said, crossing my arms across my chest. "Then count me out. Taking care of you when the only thing you can do is wobble and mumble isn't exciting at all."

After that, I heard Grimmjow's laptop that was once in his lap gently clang against the coffee table in front of him. I felt his glare burn against my cheek.

He was staring at me. I'm sure I pissed him off.

The glare filled with anger was directed to the ground shortly after, as Grimmjow stood up from the couch. "Watch you damn mouth," he said as his cheeks began to flush red.

~~~~~~

It was now later in the afternoon. Grimmjow and I sat comfortably on the couch. At the same time, there was still this awkward vibe between the two of us. To make it more awkward, I often caught Grimmjow staring at me out the corner of my eyes. When I turned around and called him out on it, he'd say something like "Get your eyes checked kid-..I wasn't looking at you." or he'd give me this stupid sarcastic smile and look away again. As you can imagine, it wasn't helping make the vibe between us a more comfortable one.

"I'm bored Ichigo," Grimmjow whined, kicking his feet up on the coffee table.

"I don't know what to do about that. Play a game on your phone or something," I replied.

"Why would I do that? Those games are boring."

"Not Jelly Jump."

The blunette crossed his arms. "That game pisses me off..." He mumbled softly.

I stood up from my seat on the couch and made my way to the kitchen. "You sure have a lot to complain about," I said, reaching into the fridge for the half empty carton of orange juice.

Grimmjow smiled and let out a small laugh. "I do, because I'm bored. Let's do something tonight...Ichigo."

Suddenly, I felt my face heat up slightly. The other males voice went low and his eyes slowly shot up to look at me through his long blue lashes. His gaze was filled with a hidden lust while his voice sent chills down my spine, and lit a fire under my skin.
