Mated to the Human

Chapter 9

Jayson's PO.V.

I quickly got into bed before my mom could get even more angry than she already was.

Sh*t Lina was still here.

I was just wondering how she'd gotten up here anyway when suddenly I felt a warm body pressed against mine.

My breath hitched and my heartbeat increased. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before turning to face Catalina.

"Umm... what are you doing in my bed?"

"I'm sleeping with you."

"Why would you want to sleep with me?"

"Why not?"

I was confused. What should you do if you'd been bullied all your life, by almost everyone around you. And suddenly this girl starts talking to you in a café, walks you home, and sneaks into your room in the middle of the night because she's worried about you?

I was probably dreaming.

Or was I? I wasn't sure.

Catalina gently caressed my cheek. Giving me tingles.

"Who was that boy that punched you?" She asked.

"Steven Henderson." I answered.

Then I winced as she applied pressure to my cheek. I brought up my hand to remove hers when she stopped me.

"Go to sleep Jayson." She whispered.

So I did.

I kind of expected Catalina to be gone the next morning and that I was right and it was just a dream.

But then I felt a pair of small hands pressed against my bare chest and a mop of curly hair tickling my nose.

Wait hold on a sec. What happened to my shirt?!

Just then my alarm went off.

Catalina groaned and buried her face deeper into my neck.

Oh god I wasn't dreaming.

But I was kinda glad about that.
