Unexpected

Chapter 6

I wake up on a hard chest and furrow my eyebrows. I slowly look up to see Xavier asleep. Oh shit. I fell asleep last night during the movie. But he does look really cute when he's sleeping. I smile and I admire his features. Shit, what am I doing? I sound like a creep. But he's probably gonna be in a pissy mood today so I admire his features anyway.

I realize I'm doing this for too long and sigh quietly. He starts to stir so I immediately put my head back on his chest gently before he realized I was awake.

I close my eyes and pretend I'm asleep. I hear him stir more so I know he's awake now.

"Fuck." He groans.

I slowly look at him and he has his head thrown back. He's so hot oh my goodness. Ugh, Jessie stop.

He looks at me and I look at him.

I clear my throat and look down at my hands. "Sorry I fell asleep last night during the movie."

"Whatever." He says getting up.

See? I told you he's gonna be in a pissy mood today.

I stand up also and follow him into the kitchen. "Are you always in a bad mood?" I ask.

He ignores me.

"So you're just gonna ignore me now?"

No answer.

"You're so rude, you know-"

"Jessie, stop talking." He demands sternly.

"What did I fucking do wrong?!" I raise my voice.

"Don't raise your voice at me."

"Then answer me and I won't have to!" I say in frustration.

And then there's silence.

"I'm done talking to you." I give up walking upstairs.

It's funny, we just started living together and we're fighting already. It's like we're married or something.

I do my morning routine and walk down downstairs to the living room. I sit on the couch and watch tv. Xavier walks in but I don't acknowledge him.

"Are you hungry?" He asks.

I don't answer.

"Jessie stop doing that, answer me."

Nope, you started this game so we can play it.

"Jessie!" He yells.

Ignore.

"Answer me Jessie."

No reply.

He grabs my arm and forces me to look at him. "Don't ignore me."

I look at him and yank my arm away from him.

"Jessie don't test me." He warns.

I get up and start to walk upstairs but he pulls me back down and pushes me against the wall.

"Let me go!" I yell.

"Stop."

"No! Leave me alone, let go!"

"Jessie!" He yells. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

I start calm down. My chest is rising up and down as I stare at him.

He stares back at me. We sure do a lot of staring. His eyes go down to my parted lips. I gulp nervously but I don't want to move. His eyes go back to my eyes as he leans in closer. We're so close that his body is against mine. I'm hyperventilating inside.
