And So It All Begins... Again [Book 2]

Chapter 28

Leila's POV

I could feel a heavy presence over my waist as my head hurt rhythmically.

I squirmed and shifted my side under the heavy presence as I heard and felt my head throbbing rhythmically once again.

I groaned in annoyance. Half-asleep, I couldn't quite put where the revising tempo of this eerie noise and throb in my head was coming from.

"Leila, stop moving so much." I heard Sean telling me in a funny, bothered sound.

"Where's the drum playing?" My question dripped with innocent curiosity.

"Sean?!" Suddenly Eve's voice rang through my head and I understood the reason for the repeated pattern.

"Coming," Sean replied in a loud but gentle voice and so the knocking at the door stopped.

"Eve's knocking," Sean mumbled as the heavy presence on my waist, which was Sean's hands, lifted and he yawned.

He sat up and stretched his limbs.

"Stop it," I growled as I hit him on his laps. His endless movement made the whole bed creak and budge.

He just clicked his tongue and got up, hitting me his leg in the process. I really hoped it was unintentional.

"Sean!" I yelled at him in exasperation and covered my face with the sheets.

Instead of giving me some sort of response, Sean opened the door of his bedroom with a click.

.....

Sean's POV

Last night was very smooth, eliminating the part where Leila and I had a 'minor' disagreement.

We had come to our bedroom, which Leila still regards as just mine. We spent the whole night like two teenage girls - simply - gossiping about everything.

One of the cons of living with Supernaturals was that Leila didn't have many human friends. Even Emily was busy with Max from the past days, so in order to fulfill her need for a talkative, constantly nagging and irritatingly squeaky friend, I had sacrificed myself.

Leila had been talking and suddenly fell silent. I half-opened my lagging eyelid and saw she had fallen asleep in mid-sentence.

Not wanting to wake her up and encouraging her to continue her stories about schoolfellows, I resisted laughing and simply leaned in to give her a small peck on her lips.

As it turned out, she responded equally well and the intended 'peck' became a full, intense kiss.

I couldn't comprehend how she managed to dominate the kiss so skillfully even while asleep.

I had shifted our positions and now I was lying over her.
We both fell asleep in a palliative silence.

The morning, however, was quite grumpy. Eve was knocking at the door and somehow the knocking sound was similar to someone hitting a nail in my head with oscillation.

After taking a quick cranky fit by Leila, I got up to open the door. While getting up, I mistakenly hit Leila since I didn't have a death wish.

She again yelled at me but I didn't mind.

I opened the door and there stood an angry Eve with her hands on her waist.

"Good morning?" I said while rubbing my eye.

"I've been knocking for the past 10 minutes and I still can't understand what took you so long?!" I swear I could see steam coming from her ears.

It was one of the rare occasions when Eve was surely mad at anyone - me, in the essence.
