Hot Mello (Book 1)

Be Quick (4)

"Do you live alone?" Mello asked me and I nodded. "Then you're staying with us tonight. I'm not leaving you alone, in case you try to off yourself again."

I didn't protest, just let them take me to their place. Mello told me lie on the couch while he got me some blankets. Matt played his game while Mello tucked me in, asking if I needed anything else. I started drifting off, I had my back to him, he was kneeling beside the couch and I guess they thought I was asleep.

"Since when do you bring random girls home to look after them?" Matt asked.

"She's not a random girl."

"Still, you never care about anyone."

"She's different." Mello sighed, and leaned his head on my shoulder.

"You like her, don't you?"

"Yeah, I think so."

I smiled to myself and soon fell asleep. I woke up a while later, Matt was gone but Mello was still there on an armchair.

"Hey, how do you feel? I'm gonna sleep out here so you're not alone."

"I don't want to be alone but you shouldn't sleep on a chair. I'll sleep in your bed with you if it's ok. Just to sleep."

"I don't mind if you don't."

I nodded and we went to his room and got into bed. He started talking.

"I like the way you bitch at me, you're not afraid of me. And you never tried to screw me, everyone else tried to use me for sex. I didn't let them but it made me feel that's all I was good for. At first I thought you just didn't like me, but then I noticed the way you look at me and I thought you maybe you do like me. I hoped you did."

"You're not wrong, Mello. And maybe I mostly bitched at you cos I wanted you. Though partly cos you can be annoying too." I smiled at him.

He put his head on my shoulder and wrapped his arm around me.

"We should get some sleep now."
