Chapter Seventeen

Lila

It takes me a moment to wake up.

I'm not lying in my own bed, but in Killian’s. He's stretched out on the bed beside me, his back in the air for the early morning sunshine to reflect off of.

I raise my throbbing hand in the air, the reason I woke up, and slide as gently as I can out from the side of the bed I claimed.

It's not the first time Killian and I have decided to crash in here. In fact, all I remember from last night was falling asleep on the couch to Die Hard somehow, Killian lifting me up gently, then depositing me in his bed.

Screw a four foot walk to my own place.

Going over to my bookbag, I crouch down and dig out the painkillers the doctor prescribed me. After that, I go into the small kitchen to fill a cup with water and take the medicine before the throbbing starts to ache more than it already does.

“Lila?” Killian's sleepy voice says, followed by a yawn as he appears in the doorway of his bedroom.

The jeans he had on last night are unbuttoned and he's not wearing a shirt. I'm suddenly having a flashback to the night that Jared dumped me a few weeks ago.

My goodness, how time changed things so quickly.

“Hey,” I lift the cup of water to take another sip. “Morning.”

Killian rubs his hands over his face, comes into the kitchen and punches a button on the coffee machine.

I barely have a chance to sit my cup down before I'm hauled into Killian's arms, his body molding around me so that there's no escape.

“Mm,” he rumbles into my hair.

“What are you doing?” I squeak.

“Giving you a hug,” he says in a tired voice.

“Oh.” Well, okay then. I reach up and wrap my arms around his waist. But this just seems to be one long, drawn-out hug to me. Not that I'm going to complain, he's awful cuddly and warm standing here in the kitchen.

I'm pretty sure that Killian has fallen asleep with his head resting on top of mine, but when I go to slip away from him, he tightens his hold on me. “Not yet, baby doll.”

“Since when are you a cuddler in the morning?” I ask. “Or in general?”

“I've cuddled you,” Killian snorts softly and pulls me even tighter.

“I'm not going to be able to breathe much longer if you keep doing that,” I wheeze.

“You'll be fine,” he says as he relaxes his hold.

“We should probably talk,” I announce, knowing I'm about to blow this nice moment to smithereens.

“About what?”

“About what happened between us.”

“Yeah,” Killian shakes his head, “I'd rather come back to that later on.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means we’ll talk about it later. I need to get some caffeine into me before I head off to workout this morning.”

“Oh, okay.”

“So after classes today we’ll talk about it.”

It could be worse. He could be blowing me off, but he isn't. Killian looks towards the timer on the oven and sighs.

“I'm going to get dressed and head out,” he says as he pours himself a cup of coffee.
