Secret Lovers

Chapter 8 - Stalker or Not?

-Hunter's POV-

   After a few hours Alex had fallen asleep on the couch, leaving everyone else to sit on the floor, and by everyone else I mean Shelby. The rest of us were smart enough to grab a chair to sit in, but she couldn't care less, she just wanted to play her video games. I smirked once an idea came to my mind. I picked up one of the pillows and hit Shelby in the back of the head with it. Causing her to fall off the edge and fall to her death in the game.

   "Hunter! Why would you do that to me. Now I have to start all over." She grumbled towards me.

   "Sorry beautiful but I had to mess with you at least once." I replied back to her. Calling her beautiful was normal for me, I'd done it on a regular basis now, not even thinking about it.

   She turned around and glared at me, probably deciding whether to finish her game or get revenge on me. I guess she made her choice when she picked up one of her converse and threw it at my head, I dodged it just in time.

"Someone's a grouch." Jake piped up from the other side of the room.

"Sorry. I'm tired and hungry." She replied sincerely.

"Go get something to eat and then go to bed then." Abel replied while not taking his eyes off the game he was playing.

   Shelby just shrugged and went back to playing her game as well. I looked over at the clock and saw it was almost 2:30 in the morning. This is the longest that she has ever stayed up, with us anyways, usually she just goes to sleep around midnight or one. I yawned automatically thinking about my bed more and more.

   "I think I'm gonna go to bed you guys. Shelby where are you sleeping tonight?" I asked trying to make it seem like a normal conversation topic.

   Right because asking her where she's gonna sleep is completely normal and non stalkerish Hunter.

She thought about it for a second before looking around. "I guess here on the floor since Alex took up the couch."

"Just push him off of it he won't get mad at you." Jake said.

Shelby laughed and then snorted for a little bit. "Right because that's a smart way to do it."

I rolled my eyes and thought about asking her if she wanted to sleep in my room since I had a full size bed. Then Abel looked over at her.

"Alex won't be sleeping in his bed tonight. You could sleep there for the night if you want." He suggested.

"I'll be ok with sleeping on the floor you guys. Thanks anyway though." She replied while turning off her gaming console. I got up and picked her up with ease.

"Nope." I said while popping the 'p' and walking towards my room. "My room it is beautiful."

"Hunter seriously I'm fine with sleeping out there." She tried to reason with me. I wasn't going to have any of it.

"Nope. I'm not letting you. You'll be more comfortable in my room, trust me." I smirked at her which got her to snort a couple of times, which in turn got Abel to yell yes from the living room.

   She finally stopped struggling and just went limp. When we got to my room I threw her on the bed which caused her to glare at me which got me to laugh at her.

   "Sleep tight beautiful." I told her while getting in the bed. She mumbled something that sounded like a screw you but I couldn't understand, I was already falling asleep as it was.
