I look down at Kolli's sleeping figure. Her hair is a disaster but all I want to do is run my hands through it and over it to smooth it down. She stirs in her sleep, stretching her fingers. She grabs onto my t-shirt every time she clenches her fist.
I could just plant a kiss on her head right now and nobody would know.
"Nikko..."
The way she sighs while she says his name angers me. It's me she is sleeping next to. Not that dirt bag.
"Wrong person, Kolli."
She opens her eyes slowly, confused. When she takes in the whole scene, she jumps from the bed.
"What the hell, Jason!?"
"Me? Really? You're the one who crawled into bed with me last night!"
She rolls her eyes.
"Not that, idiot. That!"
My eyes follow her finger to where she's pointing. All I can do is chuckle.
"I can't help it. Sleeping next to beautiful women has that effect on me."
She's speechless and the angry. Why? She turns and storms into the bathroom, slamming the door.
What did I say that offended her?
That's she's beautiful?
Oh.
Beautiful women sleeping next to me. That's what must have set her off. Her not being the only girl I've woken up next to.
If that's the case, does that mean she's...
Jealous?
