◇The Hybrid◆

chapter 42

i run into my room and my fingers quickly snatch the door lock, turning it so jay counldn't follow me in. i sighed and sat on the floor, crossing my legs and leaning my back on the door. i hear his heavy breathing on the other side with my ear pressed up against the door. 

"layla.. " he taps on the door lightly three times. "let me in. baby, i'm sorry. please.. just let me in" 

i didn't answer, massaging the tender spot on my jaw and wincing. 

"layla please" he begs with a soft voice. i hear his fingertips tapping against the white wood and i sigh, pushing myself up and letting my hand hover over the doorknob before giving in and opening it. 

i opened it just enough so he could see at least one of my eyes and the side of my face. "you hit me" i look down. 

he rubbed the back of his neck. "yeah. i'm so sorry baby, i didn't mean to" he says for the tenth time. "please don't be mad with me.. i'll help heal it if you want--"

"you think that's why i'm mad? because you hit me?" i scoff. "that's the least of my worries. i'm tougher than you think" i shake my head and look at the thick wood of the door. i gave him a few seconds to respond but nothing was said. i slowly began closing the door and he grabbed it to stop me. 

"i'm sorry" he looks down. 

"why" i want him to declare what he is sorry for. i want to hear him say it. 

he sighs and lets go of the door. "can i come in?" he looks up at me with pleading eyes. 

i bit my lip and swung the door open wider so he could step in. closing the door again i leaned my head on it, waiting for him to speak. 

"i've missed you.. " he bites his lip. 

"it didn't seem like it this morning" i folded my arms over my chest and glared at him. 

he sighs and sits at the edge of my bed, reaching his arms out. i rolled my eyes and gave in, crossing the room and sitting in his lap as he wrapped his arms around my waist and burried his head in my shoulder, giving me small kisses on my collar bone. "i was angry.. at you. at derek. .. at myself" 

"why were you mad at yourself?" 

"if i was better for you then you wouldn't have gone on a date with the douche in the first place" he shakes his head and lays it on my shoulder. "i don't think i can forgive myself for letting you go and do that.. but i have forgiven you. i understand why you did it, i mean you can't exactly resist him since he is your mate too.. but i just don't want to share you. you're the one thing that i don't mind being selfish about" 

his hand was on my shoulder as his fingers played with my shirt and slowly pulled it down my shoulder so he could kiss my bare skin. 

"you had nothing to worry about.. you still don't" i say, my breathing hitched as his other hand was sliding up my thigh. 

"oh i'll always have something to worry about with you" he chuckles. "especially with derek. we both know he's not going to leave you alone.. especially since he's marked you" the reminder sent a chill down my spine and goosebumps formed on my skin. jay rubbed his thumb in circles on my thigh, making a patch of the small bumps disappear. "but that doesn't mean that you're not mine too" he whispered in my ear, another chill sent down my spine. goosebumps rose again and i hear him chuckle softly, knowing my body effected the way he wanted it too. 

his hand went further up my tigh, pushing my skirt out of the way. when his fingers reached the hem of my panties, he played with it for a minute while trailing kisses on my shoulder and along my collar bone. 

"now, now. don't tease" i whispered a warning. 

he chuckled and sucked harder on my neck. "i thought you liked it" he mumbled on my skin. 

"not when you do it like that" my voice comes out small, more of a frail squeak. 

"just relax" he whispered, taking his lips off my neck. i whimpered at the lost connection and he quickly put his free hand on my hip and turned me around so i was facing him. i moved my legs around so i was now stradling his waist. smirking he looked down then back to my eyes. "i like you like this.. especially in that skirt" he winked. 

i laughed and rolled my eyes. "shut up" i put my hands on his shoulders and pulled him forward, towards me. our chests pressed up against each others as our lips connected and hungrily moved together. 

<><><>

"that was one hell of a make up session" jay breathed out. 

"agreed" a smile found its way onto my lips and wouldn't go away from the thought of what we just did. 

"was that your first..?"

"..yeah" i admitted shyly. 

he smirked and wrapped his arm around my shoulers, pulling me closer to his side, our warm bodies pressed against each other. "you don't have to be shy with me, baby. i'll always love you no matter what. through the good and bad, sickness and health, wealth or despare.. virgin or experienced" he snickerd as i slapped his bare chest from the last part. 

"that wasn't nice" i pouted and childishly turned away from him. 

"awh no baby come back" he laughed. 

"jerk" i muttered and pulled the covers tighter over my bare body, hiding my face in the moutain of blanket.  

he laughed and wrapped his arms around my stomach, pulling back to him. i squealed from the realization the sheets were moving from under me. "shhh. it's okay. i got you" he snickered, burrying his face in my neck. his breath tickled my skin as he breathed out. i smiled. 

"i love you" i blurt out. 

he laughs. "i love you too, baby. now lets try and get some sleep" he whispered in my ear, nibbling at it as he spoke. 

"but conner will be coming up soon.."

he sighed. "then i guess we'll just have to move this party to my room" 

i laughed. "sounds like a great idea" 

he didn't seem to notice the sarcasm as he climbed out of the bed and put his boxers back on. 

"wait, what are you doing?" i ask. 

"well i can't carry you through the house when i'm naked now can i?" 

i giggled at the thought and he smiled. "you're laugh is adorable" he said quietly and most likely to himself. 

"what was that" i teased him. 

"i said you're adorable" he said louder and slid his pants on, leaving his shirt on the ground and walking back over to me. 

"now lets go" 

".. but i'm not dressed" i shook my head. 

"thats what the sheet is for silly" he rolled his eyes, tucked the blanket around my body like a cacoon and picked me up, carrying me across the room and managing to open the door with his elbow. 

"wait.. no! jay stopppp. just lemme get dressed" i tried squirming but he only laughed at my attempt to get free. 

"we'll be there in no time princess. just hold on and enjoy the ride" he winked and i shook my head, burrying it in his chest in hopes no one would notice us and say anything.. but of course..

.

i spoke too soon.
