Thirsty Temptations

Chapter 9- Room full of temptation

She smiled, and lowered her lips to his when he squinted his eyebrows. "Don't give me that look, I read your mind." she said quietly.

He rolled on top of her and looked at her full of lust "I never said that I loved you."

"No, you didn't, but you were thinking it..."

He rolled to his back, pulling her with him and having her lay atop of him. He questioned himself again, wondering if he did in fact love her. She lowered her head in the crook of his neck as he softly caressed her back, and placed soft kisses along his neck "It's OK, you can question it all you want." she whispered, closing her eyes "I know that you do, and when you're ready to say it, I'll be saying it right back to you."

She felt wore out, and easily fell asleep while laying on top of him. Not wanting to move and wake her, he let her sleep on him for a while. He knew she had a busy week, and that she didn't get much rest, but he was mostly enjoying the moment with her in his arms, that he too relaxed and closed his eyes.

About an hour later he woke up feeling hungry, and gently rolled her off him. Hoping that when he left, she would be alright, and that she wouldn't have any of her usual nightmares.

While Alaric was out searching for food, Layla was peacefully sleeping until she was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. She opened her eyes, looked over to her nightstand, and groaned when she realized she left her phone downstairs.

She crawled out of bed, and went down the stairs to grab her phone. She looked at the time and instantly got pissed after seeing who was trying to call. "Seriously?" she snapped. She pressed the call back button and when Trevor answered the phone, she let him have it "Why the fuck are you calling me at three in the morning?"

I've been trying to call you for days, why are you ignoring me?

"I'm not ignoring you; I've been busy." she retorted "Besides, I don't need to be answering to you like you think I need to be."

Dammit Layla, ever since you met him, you've been ignoring all of us. And to top it off, Alex is missing."

"I'm not ignoring anyone... and Alex is perfectly fine, I just saw and spoke to him earlier." she paused, and then got upset after realizing she was still talking to him. "Are you done now? Because I would like to get back to bed, and go to sleep."

Trevor groaned, then sighed heavily Let me come over, I miss my best friend.

"Trevor, it's three in the morning..."

Fine, I'll be there around eight in the morning, and I'll be taking you out for breakfast...

She then remembered she wouldn't be able to go out during the day, and sighed "Never mind... you win. Hurry your fucking ass up and come over, but you're not staying long, I need to get back to bed."

After they hung up, it didn't take long for Trevor to arrive, she let him in, and made sure to let him know that she wasn't happy about what time in the morning it was. "What the hell is so damn important, that it couldn't wait until tomorrow, or well, later today?" she asked, as she shut the door hard.

He looked around, then looked at her "Where have you been since you left my place?"

"Here, why?" she asked, rolling her eyes at him.

"You have not, I've been stopping by every day since, and you have not been here."

She placed her hands on her hips, feeling as if she could pick him up, and throw him out of the house. She wasn't liking the way he was questioning her, acting like they were a couple, and someone who she had to answer to. "Are you accusing me of lying? Because if you are, there's the door." she said upset, pointing over to the door.
