Falling Too Far - Gruvia

Chapter 17

My eyes flicker open, the feeling of a hot breath in the crook of my neck awakening me. A heavy, but not uncomfortable, weight is mainly shifted on the right side of my body. Hair brushing against my chin, my lips somehow managed to dig inside this messy hair. My arms around this clearly muscular body, the strong arms around me too.  

Crap... I have a lecture, don't I? 

I take a few breathes and let my eyes adjust... Gray sleeping so peacefully on top of me. It soothed me, relieved me, made my mind experience too many emotions all at once, mostly confusion and some sort of pleasure out of this. My arms had restrained around him and seemed they were unable to let go. I am forgetting I have a date tonight, with Lyon. Maybe that will actually go somewhere, since I know this never will. 

I reach for his phone which was placed on the bedside table to check the time, 7:15

Shit, my lecture starts in half an hour. Disturbing Gray would've put guilt on my back, he cried into my chest for hours, once he finally fell asleep the room went silent. His hand forming a fist and gripping my t-shirt, his heart beat slowing and chest at last stops heaving. 

My fingers glide along his muscled shoulders, admiring his body while he lay unconscious. My touch hovering around his body clearly awoke him, grunts escaping him as he pressures his weight on his hands which were placed by my sides, pushing himself up. 

His hand running through his hair was beyond sexy to me. Even when he just woke up. A blush glistened across his strongly structured face. He's either embarrassed about letting me see his vulnerable side or the fact he fell asleep on top of me. My, how the tables have turned. 

"You have a lecture, right?" 

I nod. Slipping out of the bed and heading towards the door to just quickly get changed and be out of his way, 

"I'll drive you." Part of me was shocked that he said that yet another was expecting it. 

"You sure?" I turn my head over my shoulder. 

"Yeah, kinda owe you..." In what way did he "owe" me? I thought we were done with that fiasco. 

I raised an eyebrow, he decided to stay mute. I ended up brushing it off and headed to my room to get dressed.

Remember that little voice? Well, this time it kept nagging me to dress just a tiny bit more exposing. A lower cut t-shirt would do... maybe instead of black tights with my high waisted, ripped shorts I use fishnets. My favourite leather jacket must be used of course, I've noticed he likes that one. To complete the look, lace up platform boots. 

I open my door to realise he too has that voice. He's obviously gathered that it sends me insane when he's wearing a tight, dark themed t-shirt. And that was exactly what he was wearing. His pec line visible to my unrestrained eyes in the v-neck cut. 

I keep forgetting the fact that I have a date tonight with Lyon. With Gray and I, a date will never cross his mind and we will never go on one.  

My heart thumps louder as his gaze focuses on my outfit, yet his expression unreadable like usual. He starts to head towards the door, I just trotted along behind him. 

The car journey was dead silent. Sexual tension, not surprisingly. It was strong enough to become a scent. As I subtly glanced over at him, his fists were unusually tight around the steering wheel. His eyes were being commanded to stay on the road, yet the odd moment he'd take a look at me. To me, too much time had passed since our last kiss. Frankly, I couldn't exactly remember when it was. All I knew was that it was too long ago. So much emotion was crammed into his lips. His mouth overtaking mine was a drug that was yet to be discovered. I don't think I could live without it...
