16 | just fake

I rubbed my eyes and opened them. The sun was shining in my eyes so I turned around. The scent of my bed was different... Oh! I scrambled to sit up. I looked around. I was in a different room. I slept in a king size bed with white pillows and white plush blankets. There was a big wide window on one side and a big mirror on a wall in front of the bed. Black wood nightstands was on both sides of the bed and an alarm clock was on one of them. It read 9:30.

Memories flushed back and I remembered what happened last night. Kyran almost... Kissed me? I shook my head. No way, he wasn't going to do that...

I yawned and stretched. I dragged my legs off the bed and under me felt like a rug. I was still observing around. I got onto my feet and stepped forward but I tripped.

"Oof!"

I fell on top of my upper body part and grunted. I rolled on my back and at the corner of my eye, I see Kyran sleeping on the rug. He was sleeping on his arms as pillows. He had no blanket on him.

He must be freezing.

I crawled over to him and slept in the same position as him - laying on my front and using my arms as pillows. I admired him. His freckles were cute. His lashes were so long and natural that it'll would make a girl jealous. His chiseled jaw was behind his bicep and so I couldn't see it.

He put up with my crying and stupidness yesterday. He was calm and doesn't want me to think of dying. It must've been a fake act but... I guess I should thank him.

"Thank you," I whispered. "Thank you for everything... Yesterday."

"Your welcome," I widened my eyes when he spoke. He was awake the whole time? His eye lids opened and his blue eyes showed.

"Good morning, Miss Pierce. Did you have a good time sleeping in my bed that you stole?"

I sat up and covered my mouth. "I'm so sorry!"

He chuckled and sat up. "I was kidding. I lend you my bed."

My eyes became droopy again. I yawned. "I don't want to go home yet... Lemme steal your bed one more time."

I got to my feet and trudged past him. I fell onto his bed and got under the warm, soft, snuggly covers I was once in before.

"You and your sleepiness." commented Kyran. A little tease was in his voice.

Under the covers, I smiled.

: : : : : :

"Finally!" beamed Jurian when I came through the door. I woke up three hours after. Luckily, I snuck out before Kyran's parents' car pulled in through the driveway. My clothes were already dry by then so I returned Kyran's sweater.

"I'm sorry, Jurian." I say. "I also feel bad for lying..."

He shrugged. "It's okay. You were with Kyran so it's no problem."

"Ye- Wait, you knew I was with Kyran the whole time? H-how?" I lied and he knew where I was.

"Don't worry. I saw you climbing out of his car yesterday."

I looked down. "I'm so sorry... So you knew I was lying the whole time? And you're not even mad about it?"

He shook his head and grinned. "You're not even mine. Also, you live your own life. I have no control over it."

I stared at him in disbelief. "Oh my God, I feel horrible for lying."

He laughed weakly. "Well, everyone might have."

His outfit was changed and he has his duffle bag with him. I furrowed my brows. "Are you going somewhere?" I ask.

He nodded. "Yes, I do. I'm meeting up with my friends. And... I have to go back home."

"Oh," Oh. Seriously? Why did I saw 'oh'? I sighed and yawned. "Well, I guess good-bye then."

"Oh, I'm taking you with me." He said.

"Wait wh-"

He smirked and grabbed my hand. He pulled me out the door and he laughed like he accomplished something. Such a child. But my lips spread into a smile.

Since we both don't have cars, we walked. It didn't take long to get to the place. We entered a restaurant and walks us over to a table. We sat down and we were greeted by his friends.

"Um... I don't think we have met officially and in a nice way but, I'm Sean and I'm a vampire."

I looked up and met kind brown eyes. Sean had dark curly hair with milk chocolate skin and wore a basketball jersey. I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you."

"I'm Tal and he's Jesse. We're twins and we're wolves." I looked at Tal and Jesse. Indeed, they are very identical, but Jesse has a beauty mark under his eye and Tal doesn't. They both have brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Nice to meet you all, Sean, Tal, and Jesse." I said it with a smile.

Sean gasped but Jesse covered his mouth. Sean swats it away and stared at me in awe. "S-she just smiled."

Tal nervously laughed and turned to me. "I'm sorry, he's usually rude."

"No, it's okay... This is kind of awkward for me too so I'll stop." I say. My smile faltered.

The guys shook their head. "N-no! You don't have to."

I smiled. I'm trying hard to get all of my happy emotions back. I looked at Jurian and he smiled at me. My smile grew.
