Under the Sheets

Chapter 2: Anything Could Happen

[Peytons P.O.V]

I woke up in panic, forgetting where I was. But then the memory came back from last night. The drinking, the kissing, Ellie's outfit. Her arms were still wrapped around me, and her knees haven't moved from behind mine. It's still dark outside, so I tried to fall back asleep. I couldn't, though. My mind just couldn't stop playing the events over and over again from last night. I started getting really hot and somewhat shaky. I stopped when I heard and felt Ellie move to sit up. 

"You ok, love? It's only 4 AM, what are you doing up?"

Her tired voice seemed so adorable to me. She turned a light on which made both of us flinch. 

"Yea, just a bad dream I guess."

She patted the side of my arm and made a pout face.  

"Do you want a glass of water? Would that help?"

"Nah, I'm fine. But thank you."

She turned the light back off and went back into the position we were in before, before falling asleep again. Me, I couldn't fall back to sleep so I just laid there until she woke up so I didn't disturb her sleep. She woke up a few hours later, to fulfill her promise of waking me up for class. I pretended to be asleep so she wouldn't know I've stayed up. She crept out of bed and bent down next to me. The room stayed silent. The only thing I could hear was my own breathing. As gently as she could, she placed her hand on my arm and shook me.

"Morning," she said with a sweet smile. 

"Hey."

She lifted herself up as I got out from under the covers. Her outfit was still the same; the bra and shorts. I looked like a hobo compared to her fit body and outfit choice. We both walked out of the room, and I went to put on my shoes. 

"Thanks for having me, and waking me up."

She placed herself on one of her kitchen stools and turned to face me. 

"No problem love."

I went back into the room to get my bag. When I walked out she was holding my coat so I could easily slip it on. 

"Aw thanks Ellie."

She smiled and nodded. When I had myself all fixed up I turned to face her. I didn't know what to say so I looked down at my trainers. 

"So...I had a-uh..a good time with you Peyton..."

"Yea, me too." I smiled. 

"What uni do you go to?"

"Kent."

"Oh really? I studied there for a few years. Very cool." 

"Yea I guess so."

"Well you should probably get going, I don't want you to be late for class."

"Yea, I should. Thanks again Ellie, it was bloody wicked to meet you."

"You too, have a great day."

I opened the door and she closed it behind me. It was a cold morning. I left early so I could hopefully go into a morning session to make up the work I missed from last nights session. I came into great luck to find out the class from last night was canceled, so I really showed up early for the hell of it. However, my professor did let me do the morning class so I didn't have to stay all day until the night class.

It was an easy day, I only had two essays to work on, which I had previously worked on before the night with Ellie happened. When I was done, I turned them in and I was excused to go. It had started raining hard so instead of waiting for a bus to come, I just called for a taxi. It took awhile before a black coloured car pulled up in front of me. I opened the back door and began to tell the driver where to bring me, but before I could say barely anything, a bag went over my head.
