The Tali

Chapter 5 - Oh No! Mittens!

When I woke up the next morning, I was on fire. I'm so hot. I tried to roll over and was held in place by an arm. "Zeke," I groaned. "Move over; you're a freaking heater." The response groan was not Ezekial's. My head shot up.

My mouth hung open as I stared at the black mop on the pillow next to mine. "What the fuck?!" I quickly lifted my blankets, sighing in relief when I saw the clothes I was in last night. Okay, we didn't sleep together, so why is he in my bed. I started to get mad. I don't even like him. I put my feet on his back and kicked as hard as I could, successfully shoving him off of my bed. 

He landed with a loud thud and a groan. "What was that for, baby?" "Get. Out!" He sat up and rubbed his head. "That's not what you were saying last night." He smirked. "Andrian, I swear, if you do not get out of my room in the next 10 seconds I'm going to castrate you. Let's see how manly you are then." His face paled momentarily, before standing up. 

"Awh, come on, babe. We had a great night." He winked at me. "Ten. Nine. Eight." I didn't even make it to seven before he was out of my sight. As soon as the door shut behind him, I jumped out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and threw on blue sweats and a white tank top. 

I towel dried my hair, then went to find Zeke. "Ezekial!" I shouted as I rounded the corner into the living room. The soft thud that followed tells me I scared him awake, and he fell off the couch. "Why in the hell was Andrian in my bed this morning?" Zeke peered up at me from the floor. "He was in your room?" I glared at him. "In my bed." He smirked. "Wow Lai, that moved fast." Oh, I could kill him.

Andrian spoke up from behind me. "Yeah, she kicked me out of bed. She's a witch." I spun around and punched him in the gut. "MY bed. MY room. I do what I want." I folded my arms across my chest and immediately regretted it when Andrian's eyes flickered down to my chest. I uncrossed my arms and turned back on Zeke. "How in the hell could you let him defile my privacy like that?" Zeke got up and laid back on the couch. "First off, I didn't, and second off, what you two do is none of my business." He smirked. 

"Okay," I glared at him. "Who carried me to bed?" His face went pale. "Uh, well, uh, I did of course." I glanced at Andrian beside me who was smirking. "Why do I feel like you're lying to me Ezekial?" I turned back towards him. "Okay, fine. Andri offered to carry you up, and I agreed because I was super duper tired. And I fell asleep like right after he left the living the room." I sighed. "I can't believe you let me down like that." 

I left the two of them in the living room and went in the kitchen, praying that there was something easy to make. Cereal. That was the easiest thing to make. "Ezekial! Do you wanna make it up to me?" He appeared in the kitchen a second later. "Yes. I do." "Make me breakfast then." He pouted. "You're so lazy, Lai." I glared at him. "You let a stranger sleep in my bed with me." He groaned and went to work making breakfast. I went back into the living room to kick Andrian out. 

"Andrian?" He wasn't in the living room. I swear to all things holy if he was in my room, I was going to murder him. I stomped into my bedroom angrily. "Andrian! I swear if you are-." A hand was over my mouth and around my waist in seconds. How did he get behind me? "Shh, you yell too much." His breath against my ear sent chills down my spine. "Hmphf" Was all I could manage. "I know you feel it, Lailah. The sparks that radiate from the place I'm touching you." The hand on my waist moved to my arm and trailed down it. 

He was right. I did feel the sparks he was talking about, and they felt good. "See? I feel that too. Even in your violence, my nerves are on fire from your touch." His hand moved to my stomach where my tank top had ridden up, and his fingers danced against the exposed skin. My knees nearly buckled from the sensation. "I'm going to remove my hand now." He did as he said, but when I opened my mouth to yell, his mouth clamped down on my neck.
