Chapter 7

I feel his fingers trail my arm. Oh shit! Zayne is in bed with me, and we're both naked! Just wow! I pretend I'm still sleeping. He doesn't stop, he trails his fingers up my arm, my eyes flutters but I squeeze them shut and stifle a smile. He continues until he stops at my collarbone where I have a small butterfly tattoo. I had it drawn in my first year in college as my first freedom sign, Sophie had a bird tattooed. I feel his lips press against it and circles it with his tongue. This man sure knows his way around a woman's body. I am supposed to be angry at this man here but here I am falling for the pleasure of his tongue.

 "Jodie" he whispers in my ear wrapping an arm around my waist. I let out a soft moan, waking up and rolling to my back. I feel him inch closer and his breath on my face. I open my eyes looking up at his face. Those eyes I can never get over how intense they are. 

 "Are you always this good looking" he asks looking amused.

 "I guess I can't help it" I grinned looking quickly at the window, the blinds were still closed.

 "It's just past seven" he says as his eyes looks at the window and back at me. "I'm probably the most detestable man you've ever met, right?"

 "I think you are" I nod smiling.

 "Ouch" he touches his chest and falling back.

I laugh out, he raises his head back to my face towering over me again. I love looking up to his face. He brushes the hair off my face as he kisses my forehead. What's with this man and forehead kisses. He trails the kiss down to my nose slowly to my lips. I open my lips as he pushes his tongue in. I arch up to meet him as the kiss deepens. We both moan loudly as he pulls the duvet off he grabs my full breast stroking my nipples with his thumbs. I moan in his mouth. He releases my lips and pulls my nipples in his mouth. He sucks and pulls at the same time. I could feel my head exploding with pleasure. He keeps sucking as I wrap my legs around his waist. I moan his name out. A shrill beeping sound breaking the moment. Not again!

He stops looks up at me, his eyes filled with lust, "crap! what was that?" He asks harshly.

 "That's my alarm clock" I say breathless.

 "And what time is it exactly?"

 "I set it for 8" 

He groans falling beside me. "I have to go or I'll be late" he looks at me soberly "I owe you an apology. One, I'm really sorry about last night. And two, I promise I'd never do this again. You deserve better and probably will not hear from me again"

I look at him, not liking the second choice of words but I give him the best smile I could muster. I gingerly dragged the duvet to cover myself grateful it didn't go beyond the make out.

 "That's okay Zayne. It's fine" his name sounds heavy in my mouth but my body was on fire.

He stands to dress up. I roll to my side turning my back to him. I couldn't bear to look at him. I hear him shuffle into his scrubs and then he was quiet. I knew he was staring at my bare back.

 "Goodbye Jodie" he says very quietly almost sounding sad.

 "Goodbye Zayne"

I hear the front door open and slam shut. I touch my head as I sigh out loudly. I never wanted a guy the way I want him and he tells me he won't see me again after all this? At this point I didn't mind a one-night stand with him. So why did he shut me out. I guess it's for the best, like he said I deserve better than a one-night stand. I lay in the position till my alarm beeped for 8:45am.

I had barely settled into my work desk when Kayla barges in in a bright lemon shirt and white pants.

 "Heyo babes" she says loudly "you and Zayne almost gave me a heart attack last night, neither of you were replying my text. Although Zay finally texted back on my way here, unlike you. What happened?" she settles into the chair opposite me and raises a brow and snaps her fingers at me when I wasn't replying. "Hello?"

He had texted her? Great! "Sorry. We slept off" I say trying to sound as causal as possible.

 "We? You mean he slept in your apartment last night?

 "Yeah. He didn't mention it?" I ask feeling stupid.

 "Nope he didn't" Kayla grins widely at me

 "Well, he seemed pretty exhausted and slept off while I was in the shower. So wipe that smile off of you face"

 "And nothing else?" Kayla asks blinking her eyes like a flash. I wasn't ready to get into details of her brother wanting just a one-night stand with me.

 "Nothing else Kay" I say checking my schedule for the day.

 "You know, I now wonder why he had insisted so much on bringing the books over. I was surprised no gonna lie" she murmured "How many books did you pick by the way?" She asks tapping her chin.

The books! I had totally forgotten about them "it was late, I wasn't able to go through them. I will today"

 "Send them to Sophie's when you're done selecting" she says but not after squinting her eyes at me. "can I get facials today? I forgot to book an appointment" she asks knowing fully well I wouldn't turn her down.

 "Sure, but you've never booked an appointment Kay. Have you?"

She shrugs "Benefits of being best friends with you boo and besides it's not like I'm doing it for free" 

I roll my eyes at her.
