CHAPTER EIGHT: SLEEPOVER

ELLE’S POV

As i enter my room after coming from the Kitchen to make some snacks and some drinks for us, i hear my shower run, which means Jack is in the shower, this is going to be weird, am too vulnerable about him for this.

I find some of his old T shirt i kept for myself and prepared for him to wear after his shower and i switch on the Tv to have some type on background noise cause i could feel my heart beat so hard like what are we doing?.

My bedroom is very big and meant for a big girl but obviously it only has one bed, i have a big couch too that i fit on just fine, if i decide to sleep there but Jack definitely wouldn’t fit, so i guess i will sleep on my couch instead of my own bed because of this guy.

My thought are then interrupted with Jack coming out of my bath with his Wet hair all raffled and just wearing his jeans with no shirt and water running down his hair, his back, his beautiful muscled chest straight to his Navel with a faded hair trail disappearing into his jeans.

This sends me into overdrive and my body felt things that he alone has ever made me feel in my body from my loud heart beat to the electricity that traveled straight to my core making me want things i have never done before in my life.

I look at his face and i find him looking at me too very strangely which doesn’t help because his Eyes are making me feel things times two what i was already feeling,

“Elle”, i hear his dark low voice call my name, “don’t look at me that way”, he says dangerously as he takes steps towards me.

The words he says scares me out of my trance and what does that even mean, i look away and to make him stop coming near me i point to his own clothes i put on the bed for him.

“ you can wear some of your clothes i keep here”, i point to the clothes but i can still feel him looking at me.

“I also i plated some food for you on the table there”, i say to distract my self. i point to the food on the table on the side of my sitting area, my voice comes out breathless as i say all this and then i bolt straight to the bathroom and lock my door.

What was that, i facepalm my self in the bathroom as my back is against the door, that was embarrassing, why did i stare at him so thirstily, and my voice why did it sound like that? But also why was he also staring at me like that, Elena is going to kill me and God is not going to forgive me.

I start getting ready for bed by showering and brushing my teeth thank goodness i have a door that leads to my walk in closet from my bathroom, so i go in and find my usual bed wear, i don’t know if it’s appropriate to still wear this in front of a man ?, my night wear consists of small pink short shorts that barely cover much with a small bralet that also too small but it helps me breath i don’t like wearing much to bed, or should i just sleep in a tshirt, i debate on my own but still end up wearing my bed wear that I usually wear because i don’t see any problem with it and Jack wont notice much.

I debate going back into my room but of course this is Jack he doesn’t feel the way i do so am embarrassing myself in his presence today, i should just relax before he laughs at me,

I walk back in the room and he is clothed now and sitting on my couch, and it looks like he did eat the food i prepared which warms my heart, he looks up as i enter and he never takes his eyes off me making me nervous as always.

I go sit opposite him and sip on my drink, i can feel his stare on me so i don’t look at him until his phone notification rings loud enough disturbing us, i turn to see him take his phone and start typing for some time.

So i take my own too and open my messages and i end up finding Andrews message

“ Thank you for tonight beautiful, i had a good night, see you tomorrow, sleep well”, :)

I smile at his message he is the sweetest, and i also respond to him then put my phone down just to find Jack watching me.

“We need to sleep”, i blurt out as i look at him, “you cant fit the couch but i can so take the bed i will take the couch”, i tell him.

“ Not happening,” i cant let you sleep on the couch, that will mess you up tomorrow, we will share the bed”, He says dismissively and stands up and goes to one side of the bed.

I stand up too and follow him, but what does he mean share the bed.

“Jack, thats not appropriate we are not kids now and your girlfriend will not approve”, i say to him.

“Elle, i will keep my hands to myself don’t worry”, he says with a hint of laughter in his voice and he gives me a little smirk.

I just look at him, do i tell him i wouldn’t be able to sleep well next to him because my body reacts differently to him,? But then he will know i like/love him and make everything more weird while he just sees me as a best friend.

“Its a big bed come here”, he says and goes to one side of the bed and gets in facing upward with his arm behind his head and he starts typing on his phone with his other hand.

So i just swallow and go to the other side, and lift the white sheet and get in, i turn my alarm on and turn my bedside lamp off leaving Jack and his side lamp and the tv screen, i also turn off the tv since no one is watching which leaves the room half dark making my imagination come alive with lack of background noise, i feel shameful about what am thinking and i am pretty sure i wont be able to sleep properly with the guy of my dreams a hand touch away.

Jack finishes whatever he was doing on his phone puts it down and turns his lamp off too as i pretend to close my eye like am trying to sleep i hear him take his shirt that he had worn off.

I hear everything around me and i am anxious my heart is thudding hard can Jack hear it, i think in my head, this was a bad idea i feel like i can feel him near me and i have a half naked man that i like in my bed, i just want to touch him so bad my hands are itching.

I try to focus on my breathing so that sleep can come but i know sleep will be hard to come,

“Elle, Just breath”, he says all of a sudden.

“Of course i am breathing”, i say back is he making fun of me ?.

“I can feel your anxiety radiating off you, i can hear you fidget and can you stop moving, i wont be able to sleep, with all the moving you are doing”, He says.

“Shut up, Jack, you know this is new to me unlike you, who has slept in a bed with all kinds of women, you know i don’t do that,you are the first guy to be in my bed”, i say to him angrily while also getting jealous.

“I know, thats not what i meant,” He whispered and i know he is not far from me, he moves closer which makes my heart beat more and when his hand grabs my waist slowly and pulls me to him which makes me gasp out loud.

“Jack”, i whimper.

With his hands on my waist he pulls me to him as i face him, i grab him arms not even knowing what he is doing, i am sensitive everywhere at this point.

“Elle, Let me hold you just for tonight,” he murmurs to me.

“you can forget tomorrow, I haven’t been able to sleep well, i need to hold you,”

I don’t know what to say cause am feeling to much tingles and he is driving me crazy,so i just nod in the dark.

He pulls me to him and i can feel every ridge of my body lining his, my heart is beating fast, he moves his body and his head ends up in the crock my neck breathing me in which makes me shiver.

“Jackk”, i moan whisper to him. Which will probably chase him away.

“Yes”, he mumbles in my neck which makes his lips move on me on my sensitive sport on my neck.

my hands pull him more closer to me where there is not even space between us now, i am going crazy i touch his naked forearms and chest which makes him grunt on my neck and ear,

He slowly turns his head, lips brushing my skin, then he gently presses them to the corner of my mouth and i gasp because my world stops.

His mouth then learns closer and all of the sudden he is seeking permission of my mouth,my lips respond instinctively, he gently then deeply kiss the life out of me, i don’t know what am doing but he guides me so good, i mourn in his mouth and my hands touch him all over the electricity dancing on my fingertips on his body,

“Elle…” he whispers. Our eyes lock in the dark do I want him to say more or kiss me again? I have waited for this my whole life.

I lean in closer, my lips barely touching his again he takes that as his cue. His lips move with mine, deeper this time. My heart races. His hands slide up my back, pulling me even closer. The kiss consumes us. After what feels like forever, we break apart again this time he rests his forehead on mine.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” he whispers. My mind reels does he mean tonight or forever? What does that mean?

I feel the weight of his body on me and his bottom in between my legs makes me excited because i can feel him down there too and it make me gasp and shy away my face, it is probably so red right now, i try to move which makes him grunt.

“Elle..”, he stops me moving.”Thats making it worse”, his words are full of mirth.

I hide my face to the side, “lets sleep we can talk tomorrow okay”. He says and i agree because what happened tonight my mind cant wrap my head around, he kissed me, he used me for comfort and i used his body to feel something is that right? This is so wrong.

He holds me and i hide on his chest hoping sleep to come soon, i get myself comfortable and sleep does come unexpectedly because the next time i open my eyes its bright out as my alarm goes off, i take to my sides of the bed but i find it empty.

That wakes me up all the way, did Jack leave without saying bye, but its understandable we both have work and today would be awkward if he woke up next to me. So many thoughts in my head as i wake up..

He had used me for comfort and i had accepted, he is going to move on from this unscathed while i put my heart on to pain again. Giving away kisses to a man who doesn’t care about me like that.

Claire is going to have a lot of questions for me
