Green Hearts

Chapter 8

There is a lot of sunlight on my face when I open my eyes and I feel like someone dumped me in the middle of a lightning. I shut my eyes and shield my lids with my hands to my face

I groan loudly as my skull pounds bitterly in my head. The heavy pounding comes with a loud screeching in my ears and I feel sick with bile in my mouth. My tongue tastes bitter probably from all the weird drinks I had had yesterday

I'm still trying to engage my brain to figure where I am when Jace suddenly appears in my line of sight. His eyes search my face with a very questioning and odd look and I begin to wonder if he's gone mad

I suddenly remember that I don't know where the hell I am, neither do I know how I got here or why Jace is peering at me face that way despite having ignored me all week. My brain doesn't boot any ways to handle the current situation so I pretend to still be asleep with my eyes open in tiny slits

His face keeps coming closer to mine and that feels oddly familiar for some weird reason. A lot of heat rush to my face and I abruptly seat up, swerving away from under Jace

"What are you doing?" I stare at him wide eyed

He raises a brow at me and smirks lightly "Wondering how long you were going to keep up the facade" he shrugs

"We didn't need to be breathing the same air" I murmur to myself

"What was that?" His voice comes right beside my ear and I realise he's leaning very close to me. I scoot a little more out of his reach, fanning myself with my hands as the air suddenly becomes a lot hotter

My eyes flit around the room unconsciously as I take in the interior décor of the room. Whoever worked on this is pretty good at mixing dull colours to make it pop. I better memorize these in case I need a quick assignment material.

My head suddenly starts pounding again. I dump my head in my hand and groan out in frustration of drinking like a mad person. Thank my stars that today is Saturday

He hands me two pills and a cup of juice like he read my mind "That should help with the ache. I wonder where your learnt your horrible drinking game from"

"Thanks" I glare pointedly at him before I take the pills and hand him back the empty cup which he places on the table beside him

"How did I get here?" I turn back to find him already looking at me. Okay, this isn't weird at all. "And where is here?"

The last I remember was coming to... probably this house, for a party with Muna and splitting up. My memory ends at my fourth solo cup adventure with the ping pong game.

"Here is my house" he looks at me weirdly "Do you not remember last night?"

"Last night? What do you mean last night?" I stare confused at him "Did I do anything weird?" I perk up

"Except stand in the middle of a fight, no" he chuckles lightly and I breathe a breath of relief, trying to piece my wasted memories

"Should I help to jog your memory?" He leans back and smirks lightly at me

How the hell does he disappear for a few days and goes from friendly to seducing??

"I'm seducing you?" He laughs into his palm and when he looks at me again, there's a playful glint in his green eyes that I've missed a lot. Obviously I don't actually tell him any of this cause my pride is already at stake

"Fucking son of an ass-cracker! Did I just say that out loud?" I stare wide eyed at him

"Yes, along with your weird cussing. How does your head feel?" He asks
