The whole night was not something Valerie was planning on doing. Going out there wasn’t the plan. Getting into that damn beauty pageant was definitely not the plan. Meeting Sebastian, and spending the majority of the evening was definitely not the damned plan. And ending up in a bed with him was not something she could even thing of, irregardless how much she actually wanted it.
Yet here she was, laying in his bed in the middle of the night, her clothes, still damp from taking a dip into that damned pond, on Sebastian’s bedroom’s floor. It was so oddly comfortable, being there, in his bed, in his arms, that it was freaking her out. She wasn’t supposed to be close to anyone. Not when she couldn’t understand what he was, and why she was so damn attracted to him. He was snarky, and handsome, and knew just how to keep teasing her, and she couldn’t even begin to describe everything else that made it all damn amazing. Yet, it wasn’t like her. She wasn’t one to fall for anyone.
She had to leave. She had to stop it all before it was too late. Carefully, Valerie untangled herself from sleeping Sebastian’s arms. She had to leave, and as quickly as she could. Getting out of the bed, she moved quietly, getting her underwear and bra back on, the darkness in the room making her escape all the more complicated.
Sebastian opened his eyes and watched as Valerie untangled herself from. He watched as she got out of bed and moved around the room quietly, although nothing got past him, with his super hearing and all. The smirk on his lips widened a little, as he could see her getting the underwear that he had so happily taken off her the night before. The night before had been what he would say a success. It had been the second night the two of them had spent together, and it seemed to him that it was something that just might happen again. And that was definitely something that Sebastian liked the idea off. Pushing himself up onto both his elbows, he reached over and touched the lamp, which resulted in it lighting up the room.
“You’re not sneaking out on me, are you, love? Again I might add?” he asked and grinned as he looked at her, tilting his head a little to the side. Around his neck, rested the necklace his daughter had given him for a birthday many years ago. “Come on, come back to bed...”
