Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 49

THE NEXT MORNING

I woke up groggy. I didn't want to wake up today. I just felt like staying in my warm comfortable bed. I wrapped my hands around my pillow. It was quite hard but warm. I punched it to fluff it up. Once. Twice. Thrice. Then I heard a groan.

"Good morning to you, too."

I looked up to find a half woken Leo staring back at me. I flinched and sat up. It was definitely Leo alright. My eyes widened. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He turned over to his side and hugged my waist.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you go back to your room last night?" I asked, trying to get this overly touchy 23 year old male off me.

"How could I when you weren't letting me go? I ended up having to stay the night." He mumbled against my waist.

"We... didn't do anything last night, did we?"

He looked up at me and smirked. "Now when you say anything... what exactly do you mean by that?" I felt blood drain from my face. We can't have. He wouldn't. I wouldn't. We wouldn't! We just wouldn't!

"Anything..." I closed my eyes not wanting to say the word. "Anything... intimate...?" I just about spat it out. I felt flustered.

He chuckled. "Erm... well... you did sort of attempt to... I mean, I tried my best to stop... erm..." he stumbled.

"No. No! No! We can't have. No! No. No! We can't have! No! No!" I yelled, as I went under the sheets to see if we were fully clothed or not. We were. Phew! I came back up and held my hands to my ears as I continued yelling my mantra. I began to kick my legs as I continued to have a mini tantrum.

He held my hands down in my lap. He began to laugh. I yanked my hands out of his.

"What's so funny?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

He stopped laughing and leant towards me. "I was kidding. Is the thought of us being 'intimate' as you described really that bad?" He teased.

I shot daggers at him. "That's not even funny."

"I know... but you should have seen your face. I didn't know you could make another face other than a scowl. Plus I got see what you look like when you've just woken up, so that's a bonus."

"Yah!" I threw him back down on the bed and straddled him. Hitting him with the pillow didn't help. He just began to laugh. That just made me want to hit him harder. So I did.

"Yah! You're just doing this for fun now!" He shouted in between thumps, holding his arms up to protect his face.

"What if I am? There's nothing you can do about it." I stopped to stick my tongue out at him playfully. I started to hit him again.

"Yah! You're like a guy! I swear girls shouldn't have this much strength."

"So what if I am? Maybe I was born to keep you and the rest of that mess called VIXX in line. Maybe you're just weak. You have been looking kinda weak lately. Maybe you need to stop picking on girls. You know there's a whole list of maybes I could print out for you if you want!" I giggled as I carried on attacking him. This time, I yanked his pillow out from underneath him and attacked him from both sides. There is no way I was going to let him get away with teasing me. Soon though I had to pause to take a breather. I was tired from my early morning work out. I got off him and headed over to the bathroom to use the toilet.

After I finished using the facilities, I headed back to find a sleeping Leo curled up in my bed. Jinjja, this guy. He has his own bed but he refused to leave mine. A mischievous plan came to mind. I knew exactly how to get him out of my bed. I laughed internally. This was going to be so much fun!
