I Genuinely Couldn't Keep Up

DRAKE

I must’ve nodded off on the sofa, a combination of alcohol and tiredness. I didn’t even want to go out tonight, but Axel had convinced me. It was lame, and I was bored. So when he suggested we go back to Shannon’s, I jumped at the chance. Tonight my house was filled with Mom and Dad’s dinner party guests, and I couldn’t be bothered to entertain anyone. I heard a door open, and I opened my eyes slowly.

Someone was at the fridge.

I sighed, closing my eyes as I wriggled on the sofa, my feet hanging over the edge as I tried to get comfortable. It didn’t help that it was freezing.

“You know you can sleep next to me.”

Victoria’s voice made my eyes fly open, and I saw her standing at the end of the sofa, arching her brow at my feet.

“Like, not touching me, kind of sleeping. But at least you will be more comfortable.”

I could’ve responded with something witty, but I was too cold and tired. The thought of lying on a comfortable bed next to the most beautiful girl in the world was too much to resist. I stood up, stretching as she averted her eyes.

“Keep your clothes on,” she muttered as I followed her to the spare room.

“I’m not a stripper, Victoria.” I yawned, waiting for her to climb into the bed.

Her slender legs slid under the sheets quickly, and I collapsed onto the bed once she was safely away from me. My eyes closed, and I felt sleep claim me as the vanilla scent of her danced beneath my nostrils.

When I woke up, she was in the same position, her eyelashes resting on her cheeks as she slept. Her lips were parted slightly, her hand close to mine as I exhaled quietly.

She was beautiful, without a doubt. I reached out to touch her face, and she stirred beneath me. Her hand captured mine as she spoke lazily.

“Your hands are cold.”

“I’m alright,” I whispered back, closing my eyes as her warm hand held mine.

“Get under the covers if you want. Just behave.”

I didn’t need to be asked twice. I wanted to take my jeans off, but there was no way I was risking it with her. She would end up getting me arrested. She turned the other way, the warmth of her body drawing me closer to her like a bee to honey.

“Can I cuddle you? I’m freezing.”

“Fine, just be quiet. And—”

“I won’t,” I promised her as she scooted into my arms.

I wrapped my arm around her waist, trying not to notice her insane curves. My other arm was under her neck, and I began to warm up. We pulled the duvet around us as we huddled together, trying to get warm.

“Doesn’t this house have a furnace?” I grumbled, my nose buried in her hair.

“I don’t know. Body heat will work anyway.” Her hand rested on mine, and I felt that familiar jolt of electricity.

Jesus.

She made me feel like I was a kid on Christmas morning, all excited because she had touched me.
