Intimate

Chapter 6

Adrianna

Rolling over in bed, I reached for my phone to check the time.

2:16am.

I rubbed my eyes as I sat up in bed. I still felt tipsy from when I went for drinks with Klaus. I didn't even remember how I got into bed. My head was spinning and my mouth was dry.

Water.

I needed water.

Pulling the covers off of me, I swung my legs over the edge of my bed and climbed out.

"Ahh!" I exclaimed. A feeling of sudden pain attacked my ankle. I'd completely forgot about my stupid drunken accident the night before.

Honestly, the pain had subsided a lot since the initial soreness I experienced. It still felt very tender and I had to be very careful when applying weight to that ankle. In terms of walking, I was doing okay using the walls to steady me. Not only was I being careful because of my tender ankle but my vision was still blurry from drinking. I definitely hadn't sobered up yet.

I made my way through my dark apartment, steadying myself against the walls and furniture where I could.

"Ouch, you bitch!" I held my hip tightly. Hip bones and counter tops weren't a great mix, especially in pitch black darkness.

"You fucker!" I mumbled as I rubbed my hip, limping and stumbling towards the sink for a glass. I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid I must of looked in that moment.

Accident prone is an understatement when it comes to drunk Adrianna.

"Everything alright, love?" Klaus' voice sounded from the opposite end of the kitchen.

It made me jump, a slight squeal escaping my lips as i turned. I completely forgot I'd asked him to stay.

His hand flicked over the light for the kitchen, revealing him stood shirtless with a cheeky grin. "You do know these switches can be used for light, yes?" He said sarcastically.

I let out a sigh of relief at the sight of him, knowing it wasn't a stranger who had broken in. He stood, leaning against the wall. I'd not seen him shirtless before. He was lean, but built with beautiful defined muscles.

"I smacked my hip." I laughed whilst rubbing a hand over my hip. I watched Klaus' eyes scan over me as it suddenly became apparent i was only wearing an oversized t-shirt. I cleared my throat and turned to continue getting my water. Water was more important.

"I was just getting some water."

I continued to pour the glass of water for myself as I saw him walk over to me out the corner of my eye.

"How's the ankle now?" He asked, leaning against the counter next to me. 

I took a sip of water and nodded slightly, turning to face him. "It's... tender, but it's okay. I can walk on it fine." I said. "Thank you for making sure I was okay. It really means a lot." I smiled slightly, his lips mirroring mine.

"And the hip?" He laughed.

I joined him in laughing and brushed a hand through my hair. "Yeah that ones a bit sore. I'm just clumsy." I shrugged.

He grinned as he dropped down to his knees in front of me. "Where does it hurt?" He asked looking up at me.

I became aware again of my lack of clothing. I really didn't want him seeing my underwear. I shook my head and stepped back slightly.

"No it's fine. Don't worry about it." I said.

His eyes became more serious as he continued to stare at me. "Adrianna, you're hurt. Please let me check your side."
