I squinted my eyes as I woke up to the sound of a door closing.
"What the hell is going on?" I mumbled as I moved around on the bed to face the source of the noise. Wait a second. Bed? I distinctly remember going to sleep on a chair."Sorry for waking you up, love. You can go back to sleep, I wont make another sound," Xavier said with an apologetic expression on his face as he switched off the bathroom lights.
Oh, sweet mercy, he was only wearing a towel across his waist.I was a little distracted, to say the least, by gawking at his toned arms and the six pack he had that had water dripping from them because of the bath he just took.
"W-What?" I said as I blinked, trying to focus on the conversation at hand.He got a knowing smirk on his face as he said, "I said you can go back to sleep. I wont disturb you."
My cheeks heated up in embarrassment. He obviously saw me checking him out. Like I could sleep now.
"What time is it and how did I wake up in a bed? Didn't I sleep on a chair?"
"Its nine thirty," he said as he got out a dark blue t-shirt from his suitcase and put it on, much to my dismay. "And I had woken up at around 3am because I heard you squirm at night after which you fell down on the floor while sleeping . I have no idea how that didn't wake you up while me opening the door did but I felt terrible after I realised that you fell asleep on the chair so I picked you up and put you on the bed."
"We slept together?" I asked him in shock.
"No! No. Of course not. I wouldn't do that especially since I hadn't asked for your permission before."
"Where did you sleep then?"
"On the couch."
"Xav," I said with a frown. "This is your room. I shouldn't be sleeping on the bed while you take the couch."
"No point arguing, Veronica. I'd do it a hundred more times if I had to," he said with a serious expression.
"No," I said stubbornly. "If that's the case then the next time you sleep on the bed with me. Its big enough for the two of us to sleep on easily and I think I can stop myself from jumping your bones if I have to."
My eyes immediately widened as I mentally face palmed myself after I realised what I just said.
"I-uh, I didn't- its not what it sounded like," I stammered."I'd keep the suggestion in mind Veronica," he said as he tried his best to control his laughter for my sake.
Just then my phone rang and saved me from a very awkward conversation.
I picked it up and saw that it was my mom who was video calling me.
"Its my parents," I told Xavier.He nodded and immediately took a pair of sweatpants to the washroom to change so that my parents didn't get the wrong idea if they saw him like this.
"Hey mom!" I said as I accepted the call.
"How are you, honey?!" she smiled.
"I'm great. I just woke up actually. Did you call Jerko to wish him yet?"
"You know very well that he wont get up before at least 11 Ver," dad said as he came onto the screen.
I had been messaging my parents regularly but this was the first time I had video called them in the last couple of days which was why I only now paid attention to the different background."Hey mom, are you are Grammy and Gramps' house?" I asked them as Xavier came out of the washroom.
"Yeah," she said. "We came to stay here the next day you left."
