Beyond The Lights (Kris Bryant)

{9} Feelings

Eleanor's POV

As my eyes flutter open I feel the soft breath of a sleeping Kris on my neck. I immediately blush realizing the position we were both in at the moment. I try to get out of Kris' death grip but the more I move the tighter it gets.

"Stop moving princess just go back to sleep." Kris' gruff morning voice whispered in my ear. I shivered at the sound and immediately stopped moving. I could've sworn I heard a 'good girl' come out of Kris' mouth but I let it slide. As the time passed I started falling asleep but only to be rudely interrupter by none other than Anthony Rizzo, again.

"ELLIE WHERE IS KRIS HE ISN'T IN THE LIVI- oh never mind." His shout turned into a smirk. By know Kris was awake and tiredly sitting up rubbing his eyes. I groaned and feel back down on the bed.

"Seriously Anthony this is two times in two days, are you asking to die right now." I growled out narrowing my eyes at him. Both Kris and Anthony chuckle. "This most definitely is no laughing matter a girl needs her sleep." I whine.

"Why what were you two doing last night." Anthony asked joking around. I groaned into my pillow and flipped him off.

"We did nothing but sleep you idiot." My voice muffled by the pillow. All of a sudden I feel two pairs of hands tickling me like there is no tomorrow. I start to laugh and scream telling both of the grown men who decided it would be a great idea to tickle me to stop. Neither of them listened of course. I guess our little tickle session woke the rest of the guys up.

"HELP ME YOU IDIOTS DON'T JUST STAND THERE" I yelled at them all they did was laugh. Javy came in and swooped me away.

"Oh Javy you are a life saver." I hugged him and he laughed. I look up to him and realize that Javy is a very attractive person.

"Javy why don't you have a girlfriend? Actually why don't you have a girlfriend Anthony, Kris?" I questioned just realizing this. They all freeze.

"Where did that come form princess?" Jake asked.

"I don't know I was just thinking and it confuses me how none of you have girlfriends. You all are wonderful people and attractive I'm just surprised that's all." I replied as I walked into Kris and Anthony's Kitchen. To make some coffee.

"Well why don't you have a boyfriend." Anthony asked just as curious. I froze.

"Um I guess guys just don't think I'm attractive or anything. Funny story ever since Kris and I broke up not a single guy has asked me on a date. Isn't that just pathetic! Like I'm not that bad, right?" I started to feel self conscious about spilling my guts to the men that were behind me sitting at the counter.

"Oh God princess you are perfect don't ever think anything less than that. Guys are probably just intimidated by how amazing you are." Dexter replied. I let out a humorless laugh. I couldn't look at them right now because talking about all of this had made me actually think and realize that maybe I'm not good enough for anyone. That maybe my thoughts about not being good for Kris when everything happened were actually correct. I inhaled and straightened up putting a fake smile on my face.

"Yeah of course. I mean I'm awesome." I said, not trying to convince them but rather trying to convince myself instead. I saw the looks on their faces, they were all looking at me with pity. I looked away and got a couple glasses out of the cabinet.

"So who wants coffee?" I asked changing the topic. All of the guys raised their hands. I poured the coffee for each of the guys and handed them their cups.

"Well I have to get going I'll see you all later." I kissed Javy and Anthony's cheeks. While I hugged Dexter and Jake. Lastly was Kris. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. I blushed as I heard a couple of the guys wolf whistle. I quickly pulled away and bid my goodbyes.
