Their Guy

Chapter 15

Leandrea's POV

I felt something shine beneath my closed eyes. I stretched my arms keeping my eyes shut. 

My body felt tired and worn out and I didn't feel like opening my eyes.  I rolled around in the covers and my hand fell on something soft beside me.

Ahh. Comfy

I snuggled against it, nestling my cheek in the pillow.

Wait, I didn't sleep with anything near me!

I snapped my eyes open and sat up with a jolt. 

Oh my God!

Jeremy was lying next to me on the bed his hand around mine. Our legs were tangled under the sheets and a sudden fear rose in my mind.

Did we sleep together?

I quietly lifted the duvet and thankfully saw that we both had our sweatpants on, even though Jeremy was shirtless. 

Suddenly, all of yesterday's events came rushing back to me. His lips against mine and my hands on his chest and on cue my head gave a splitting throb. A groan escaped my mouth as I held my hands in my head. 

Did I drink last night?

My memories were hazy and I couldn't remembered the details,  but I remembered enough to know that Jeremy and I couldn't be normal friends anymore. At least not for now.

"Morning Sunshine," a low husky voice whispered and I turned my head to see Jeremy smilling up at me. Apparently what happened last night wasn't affecting him the way it was affecting me. "What's the matter Leah?"

"Uh Jeremy," I began trying to voice my previous thoughts. "Did we um..uh you know.. do it last night?"

"Have sex?" He said with a laugh. "Unfortunately no. We were almost there though." He laughed harder as he saw my eyes widen.

We just sat there in awkward silence for sometime, his eyes scanning my face. I didnt know what to say, what to do. "I sh-should go," I stammered untangling myself from the sheets.

"Wait," he said catching my wrist and jerking it towards him so that I landed on top of him. I hope he couldn't hear my rapid heartbeat because of our sudden proximity and I tried to ignore well chiseled muscles below me. "Are you guilty of what happened between us yesterday?" He asked me, his blue eyes bearing into mine making my breath hitch in my throat. "Do you regret it?"

Did I?

Did I want this?

I asked myself the same question last night and I asked myself again.

My answer remained unchanged.

Being with Jeremy, I forgot all about Ryden and he made me happy. The feeling of his lips against mine gave me shivers.

Did I want more of that?

I did. 

"I don't," I whispered back to him, a smile making his way on my face which was immediately reflected on his.

"Good," he said grinning sheepishly. "Yesterday felt like a beginning Leah.  And I want it to be a beginning, not an end. I really like you."

"Me too."

Jeremy rolled over so that I was below him now, and his hands were on either side of me to balance his weight, trapping me there.  He delicately placed a kiss on my cheek, slightly touching my lips and my stomach quivered.
