Listen to Coffin by Jessie Reyez.

You bring out the other side of me✨

Skylar-

Snuggling closer to my pillow, I inhale deeply and my nose catches a whiff of a different intoxicating smell making me wonder when I changed my bedsheets and when my pillow became... rock hard?

Still half asleep,I wrap my hands tightly around it to get more comfortable and that's when I feel it move underneath me to pull me in. My eyes are still shut tight but I raise an eyebrow in confusion when the pillow starts moving.

Except it's not a freaking pillow!

I slowly peer an eye open and my eyes come in contact with a form that seemed to be sleeping contently while I'm almost having a panic attack. I stay frozen with eyes wide open and that's when he wakes up as if he knew I was staring right at his face.

"Morning Shortstack."Even his groggy and hoarse voice could make a girl weak in the knees.

I stay still,speechless until I let out a strangled scream."Ahhhhhhh!"I shove him away,struggling out of his grasps and the sheets I was wrapped in but lose a step and fall backwards on the floor hitting my butt...hard.

Ouch!

"Shit! Are you okay?"He rushes to help me while I silently wish for the ground to open up and swallow me so I could die in peace.

"What the hell are you doing on my bed?!"I glare at him as I lift myself up. Gage comes close to me and I notice that he's only wearing a pair of slacks that's hanging so low on his hips showing his v-line that goes down to his area.

"You don't remember what happened?"His voice brings me out of my traitorous thoughts.I try to remember what happened after he came up to my door all wounded but for some reason my memory seems hazy.

I look down at my appearance and that's when I realize that I'm in my short shorts and a flimsy tank top that I only remember putting on last night.

"Did we-?Nothing happened right?"I ask stupidly without thinking and immediately Gage bursts out in a fit of laughter and stops, putting on a serious look.

"Yes we did.Why else am I only in a pair of slacks with no shirt on?"His face is so serious that I don't know if he's messing with me or not. I gulp nervously and try to rack my brain for any memory of how Gage got to be in my bed but I'm blank.

"Stop messing with me."I give him my meanest look which seemed to have no effect on him as he stares amusingly at me.

"We didn't do anything if that's what you're thinking. One of us would have to be drunk or crazy for that to happen don't you think?"He frowns as he stares up at me.

"Of course."I nod my head distractedly.

So he slept here the whole night and I was busy snuggling and practically humping him when I thought it was just my pillow.
Plus his wounds would even make it more difficult for him to sleep well and I only made things worse!

The bruises on his face had now changed to a deep shade of purple and looked a bit swollen. How he still managed to look rugged and devastatingly handsome is beyond me.

"Still doesn't explain why you were on my bed."I demand.

"You seriously don't remember?He raises and eyebrow at me.

And that's when the memory comes back...

A loud clap of thunder follows and I shriek in fright, jumping a little which earns a laugh from him and I shoot him a death glare in return.
