Chapter 9: Bed Hopping
Kayla's PoV:
I wake up, expecting to be freezing cold and soaking wet, but instead I find myself warm and cuddled up in an unfamiliar bed.
"Okay why the fuck do I keep waking up in random ass beds? This is a kinky school, but damn it isn't bed swapping kinky," I say to myself, thinking I am alone. Someone in the bed beside me giggles and I jump out of the bed. "Who the fuck.... Gemma?! Why the fuck am I in your bed?"
"Jasper found you asleep somewhere, so he brought you in. Luckily he did, because you were freezing, he had me get you changed into sweats and a hoodie. And seriously sweetie, you need to get some better clothes because they do not do you any justice for what you have under there," Gemma bites her lip and eyes me up and down. I stare at her awkwardly and confused, as Jasper walks into the room.
"You can hit on her all you want later, Gemma. Right now I have to talk to her about some things," Gemma looks up at Jasper and giggles, "Be a good girl, and go grab an outfit of Kayla's from her room, I assume she wants to be in her own clothes right now."
"Yes Sir," She jumps out of bed and skips towards the door, as she passes Jasper, he grabs her by the elbow and spins her into him. Kissing her forehead, he looks at her softly.
"Don't take too long looking for this kitten. I want you away from Greg as soon as possible," She nods and walks away as my chest aches slightly. Seeing the sweet moment I just witnessed hurt my heart, and I can't tell if it's because I am desperate for that kind of affection from a dominant, or if it is because Jasper's affection is pointed towards Gemma rather than me. Jasper watches the door close behind Gemma, and he turns to look at me.
"So breakfast is in about an hour. Any chance you want to share why you were sleeping outside during one of our coldest storms?" As he talks to me, he walks over to sit on the bed, almost enticing me to join him. Rather than cave to what is probably just hormones and overwhelmed emotions, I stay leaning against the wall where I first jumped up.
"I think the first thing that needs to be discussed is why you picked me up in the middle of the night and brought me to your room," I respond back, not wanting to let another man walk all over me. He raises his eyebrow, almost taunting me to fight back against his authority again. I sigh and give in, knowing that he probably kept me out of the hospital by doing what he did, hypothermia is a bitch.
"Well if we are done with that little bit of sassiness, seriously Kayla, what the hell happened? I know Greg can be a creep sometimes, but was it really that horrible to share a room with him?" I lean against the wall in silence, not knowing how to tell someone I might be interested in how I was abused this past afternoon. Tired of waiting for an answer, Jasper stands up and walks towards me, essentially pinning me against the wall with his body. In a reflexive reaction after what happened, I push him away and back further into the corner. He falls back onto the bed in shock, but quickly recovers as I curl myself into a ball on the floor. In an instant Jasper is by my side as I am sobbing, quickly cradling me in his arms. As he is consoling me, we hear the door open as Gemma walks in,
"Guess who's wearing a thongg-" She stops herself from twirling a pair of my underwear on her finger as she sees what is happening. "Oh my gosh, I didn't, wow I am such an idiot, you know, I'm just, yeah I'm going to give you some time. I'll save you both a seat at breakfast! Uh, your clothes are on the uh," she stops talking to chuck the clothes onto the bed, "yeah, your clothes are on the bed.. Bye now" She rushes out of the door, and I burst into a fit of giggles, distracted from my trauma by her awkwardness. Jasper smiles down at me, and wipes the tears off of my face.
"Well Gemma certainly handles emotions well," he jokes sarcastically as we both laugh. "Look Kayla, I don't know what is going on, but clearly it is bad enough to make you this scared. I want you to know that you have a safe space here, no one is going to be able to hurt you, not with Gemma and I around." I nod as he hugs me.
"Thank you Jasper. I'm sorry for how I reacted, I just, some information is going to come out at some point today, and I just, I can't talk about it right now." I hug him and slowly stand up, looking over at the clothes that Gemma picked out for me. "Are you kidding me? This is like the sluttiest top I own, and why the fuck did she want to pair it with my work out pants?" The outfit Gemma picked out for me was this very revealing pink crop top, with a shoelace tie all the way up the front of the dress, so you can show as much or as little of the girls as you want. She paired it with my see-through, strappy high-waisted leggings that cling to my curves. I look up at Jasper hesitant, not wanting to wear this, but he just smiles and winks.
"Come on, Gemma has an eye for fashion. And if you want my opinion, seeing you in that is probably going to be the sexiest thing that anyone has seen all week."
"But I don't wanna be sexy," I pout as he walks over to me, mocking Gemma as he twirls the thong around his finger, making both of us laugh."I think this thong says differently sweetie," he kisses my cheek and I blush. "Come on now, we don't have time to pick you out a new outfit, so, go get dressed, and let's go down to eat before Gemma eats everything in sight, including everyone else, innuendo completely intended," He makes a funny face, trying to distract me from my emotions. I go into the bathroom to get ready and take a moment to gather my thoughts. This couple certainly is an interesting pair. It seems like no matter what I do today, one of them is flirting with me, and it is the weirdest thing. I would feel completely guilty about them even talking to me like this, but both of them are, and one hundred percent openly.
After I put on the outfit and run my hair through my fingers, I stop to take a look at myself in the mirror. Never before would I have even considered pairing these two pieces together, but Jasper was right when he said it would make me look sexy. The messy hair look just adds to the comfy and confident look, which I need to fake for today. When I get out of the bathroom, Jasper is sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone. When he looks up, he leans his head back and chuckles to himself,
"Damn Kayla... where have you been hiding that body?" I laugh nervously and throw a towel at him.
"Come on, I'm getting hungry." I laugh as I walk to the door. He opens it up for me and follows me out of the door. We walk down the hall together towards the wafting smell of eggs, bacon, and most importantly, waffles. As we wait in line with the other late-comers, Sebastian walks out of the dining hall with a group of people. I wave to them, wanting to hug Sebby and hopefully meet Sasha. Seb gestures to the group, letting them know that he will catch up, and comes over to swallow me in a hug. "Okay buddy, you're squishing me." He lets me go and reassures me that he is there for me if I need him, and rushes off to rejoin his group of friends, high-fiving Jasper along the way.
The breakfast options are just as impressive as before, and it's hard for me not to overfill my plate with eggs and waffles. Once I make it through the food line, I look back to see that not only has Jasper gotten his food, but he also has two cups of milk. "Getting some extra Calcium in huh?" He rolls his eyes and nudges me over into the direction of the windows, where Gemma is already sitting and waving us towards. When I sit, Jasper sets the second glass of milk in front of me, and sits down to eat his food.
"Since you liked milk with your spaghetti, I assumed that you'd be the one to like it with everything," Jasper smiles at me before Gemma interrupts
"Who the fuck is talking about milk right now with Kayla looking like a whole ass snack?"
