Chapter Sunlight
I woke to the sunlight hitting me straight in the face. I groaned. Everything hurt and I mean everything. I glanced down. I was in that red shirt. Shorts were off though. Did I? No I can’t remember.
’They would have cut off your circulation. I took them off. Left your.. panties… on though.’
I startled. There was Andrew, lying casually on Skylarks bed. His dark pants still on and his dress shirt unbuttoned, but his feet were bare and his jacket was laid out on my dresser. He was clearly awake but I could tell he had slept here by the way he had bed hair right now. I hated him for looking that damn good with bed hair. Mine must have looked like a dead cat had housed on my head for the night.
‘What…are you doing here?’
’I needed to sleep. Your shenanigans at that party were very… exhausting.’
‘So you decided to sleep in Sky’s bed? You know what she will say right.’
‘She would probably hump the pillow that I slept on tomorrow. After her hangover.’
I snorted. That was actually a probability.
‘Did you carry me here?’
‘You remember that? You were knocked out cold.’ He chuckled and rose up a little higher to stare at me. ‘You also snore a little.’
‘I do not snore a little.’ I gasped and threw a pillow at his head. ‘And I didn’t know this bodyguard detail came with a sleep service.’
‘Or a doctor service. A bar service….’ He counted on his fingers.
I threw another pillow at his head, harder this time. He laughed and flashed me his dimple. ‘Careful, princess. I don’t want to end up in a fight with you.’ He threw the pillow back. ’But at least my nails won’t end up in your cleavage and ass crack.’
I squealed loudly, suddenly embarrassed. ‘You need to leave!’ my voice cracked halfway with laughter though.
He rose from the bed.
‘You need a shower.’
‘I know…’ I really needed one.
My muscles sore. My head pounding. I tried to rise but I wobbled and crashed next to my bed.
‘You alright? You need help in there just ask princess.’
‘Sure you would.’
‘I definitely would.’ He wiggled his eyebrows and helped me up but I dismissed his hand.
His Telvice rang and I motioned towards my bathroom. He was walking outside to take the call and I had time for my shower in peace. He was a lot of work.
