Chapter Four.

And here above is a picture of Luke.

Slowly they all left the hospital and she went back to her dorm. Jayden offered to stay with her while the others went ahead to class.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that Adriel. You didn't deserve it." Jayden started as he watched her sit on her bed.

"Thank you, Jayden. You being here really means a lot." She said.

She was feeling much better. He got her a cup of coffee from the brewer. Adriel took it, looking up at him. His small acts of kindness really touched her.

"Why are you being so nice to me? You didn't have to do all this but here you are in my room looking after me." She smiled lightly.

His lips tugged up in a smile as well and she had to remind herself that she needed to breathe to live.

"I know it's only been a couple of weeks we met but you got me hooked since the first day I met you. I want to be here and you don't owe me anything for that."

Adriel couldn't help the blush that crept up her cheeks.

"I'm glad we met." She said. There was a twinkling in his eyes as he stared at her and for a split second, they seemed to darken as he leaned close.

She was mesmerized and she couldn't look or move away. He was less than a breathe away until his lips met hers.

"Adriel." She heard him murmur as he kissed her. It was unlike anything she'd ever felt before.

Electricity surged through every inch of her body. It was bliss and she didn't want it to end. Her hands got lost in his locks as she pulled him closer.

His lips left hers to travel down her neck. She was lost in the feeling of his lips on her until she felt a slight prick against her neck. She withdrew yelping.

"Ow." Adriel touched her neck then withdrew it.

She exhaled.

It hadn't drawn blood. Jayden rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. I got carried away. You bring out the kinky side of me." He smirked teasingly and she blushed.

"Yeah well, no more biting. I have very fragile skin if you haven't noticed." She joked. Jayden chuckled already leaning in to resume the kiss.

"Duly noted." The kiss quickly picked up pace and she found herself losing all abandon to his touches.

And she happily welcomed them with unrestrained abandon.

Adriel had to get home that weekend. A lot had happened since her mother dropped her off to school, a month and a half ago. She needed someone to talk to and her mother had always been a good listener.

She packed a small bag for the weekend and ordered a taxi. The school had a car park that had vehicles that conveyed students wherever they wished to go on the island. There was even a helicopter pad for those willing to travel out the island.

Though she didn't have to take a chopper or a ship, her house was still far from the school. It was located on the other side of the island.

Her phone buzzed with a message.

Jayden

Hey baby.

She couldn't help the blush on her face. Yeah, Jayden and her were together.

After the electrifying kiss the other day Jayden had asked her out and she'd said yes and things had picked up from there.

Adriel
