Secrets Open

Chapter 9

She tenses. I guess she's still a bit scared of him, "He's not going to bite you again. Just calm down." I place my hand on her shoulder and let Shadow slither down my arm, "You're okay, just breath." I say softly when her eyes widen and see the panic in them. She grabs my other hand and holds it tight and Shadow gets on her shoulders. I smirk, "Now that's not so bad is it?" She let's out a shaky breath, "I-I'm going to finish." I nod as she shakily finishes, "Their my work is down."

I chuckle, "Oh? Sounds like you want a reward." Becca looks down and smirks. She wipes the smirk from her face and looks up at me trying to look innocent, "What do you mean?" She wants to play that game, huh? Well two can play at that game. I give her a sexy smile and walk her back until she hits the wall. I pin her against the wall and press my body against hers. I lean in to whisper in her ear, "Nice try." I chuckle and let her go and walk out of the bathroom whistling to call Shadow.

Eventually Becca comes out of the bathroom, "Okay." I say looking at Becca, "Until I get the other bed in we have to share my bed." Becca shrugs, "Okay." I sigh, "Well hold on and I'll get you some of my cloths to change into for bed. We can go in the morning to get your stuff or,well after your classes." Becca nods then let's out a small yawn.

I walk over to my closet and pull out black shorts and a purple shirt. I toss them at her and she catches them in surprise, "Wow, you have bright colors." I see her leaning over and looking into my closet. I roll my eyes, "Wow you can actually see, congrats."

She huffs and goes to the bathroom to change. She's going to have to deal with how I sleep: only a sports bra and my boxes since I can't wear my binder to sleep. I I take off my pants and take off my binder and put on a white sports bra. I lift my arms above my head and stretch. I wince slightly when it pulls at the stitches. Oh yeah I forgot to out gaze and tape on it in case it starts bleeding while I sleep.

Once I have it covered I get in bed, "Shadow go to your bed. Becca won't be able to sleep with you here with me." His head droops and I pay it, "I'm sorry buddy." Shadow sadly slinks off and I turn to face the wall and close my eyes for sleep to take me.

I snap awake when the bed dip and I feel Becca slide under the covers slowly and relaxes. I close my eyes again, "Octavian?" I hear her say softly. I hum and say in a tired mumble, "What?" I feel her turn which I'm guessing she's now facing me, "Thank you for stopping them and helping me." I chuckle and mumble, "I feel like I had no choice. It's better then dying at the boys hands. Just be glad I didn't decide to kill you, rather then talking to the headmistress." She doesn't say anything after that. A few minutes later when I'm almost asleep I hear Becca mumble, "Night."

I don't acknowledge her, trying to go back to sleep. Slowly I fall asleep. I jump when I feel something press against my back and sigh. I gently turn on my back, moving her. When I move her arm lands on my stomach and I joke slightly as her head goes into the crook of my shoulder and the chill of her cold hand makes my shiver.

I huff and gently push her over, getting her off me. I sit up and pull the blankets over her. That will at least keep a little boundary between us and will keep her from laying on me. I shake my head and turn around, laying on my stomach. I lift my head and let out a low groan. It's five in the morning. Maybe I can get a little sleep. With that hope of some sleep I dozed off.

Not long later I hear my alarm blaring and groan, "Come on..." I try to lift my arm to turn it off but feel a weight on it. And my back. I open my eyes and let out a yelp rolling away and hitting my head against the wall. I huff and wince as my side and head throb. A scowl comes to my face and I shake my head and hear Becca yawn, "Mmm morning."

I raise a brow at her, "You're a sleep cuddler by the way." I move her legs put of the way as I climb out of bed. I let out a yawn and stretch, ignoring the pull against the stitches. I chuckle when I catch Becca staring, "It's rude to stare Kitty."
She looks down, a blush consuming her face in red, "S-Sorry. You're just surprisingly in good shape for your age." I raise a brow at her before shaking my head. It seems she stares a lot.

Anyways, I'm going to have to get another bed pretty soon. I don't mind her being all cuddly but I don't want her to know that. I go to my closet and grab black jeans, my binder, and a black sweater before heading to the bathroom and changing.

With a stretch I go out and go back to my closet and throw a hoodie and some sweats at Becca, "Here put these on. Than I'll walk you to class, and only go to your classes. I'll try to be back before your last class ends." Becca looks at me with a confused tilt of her head, "You're not coming to class? Where are you going?"

I huff and rub my face, "I thought I already told you this. First, I never go to classes because it's not needed of me. Second, you don't need to know." She huffs as well and crosses her arms, "And why can't I go?" My God is she a child? I groan, "Because you'll get hurt and be in my way." She rolls her eyes at me looking defiant, "And what if you get hurt?"

Now it's my turn to roll my eyes, "Then so be it. I've been working in the field for years, I'll deal with it." She raises an eyebrow at me but doesn't say anything. She's probably think about the years of field work or not believing me about not getting hurt. Probably the latter.
She heads to the bathroom and I sigh and with a shake of my head I go over to my mirror, pulling up my shirt.

I wince when I put a hand against my side. I see a little red soaking through it. Hopefully no stitches tore. I startle when I hear a voice behind me, "Let me redress that." I drop my shirt and turn around shaking my head, "No, it's fine you need to head to class. Come on." She grabs my wrist. She tries to pull be to the bed but I resist. She let's out an irritated huff and pushes me against my mirror by my shoulders. I let out a sound of surprise, looking into Beccas eyes.

Okay why did she do that? Well I guess she's determined?, "God, you're so stubborn." Becca shakes her head and does something that surprises me.
She kisses me.
