Emmeline groaned internally before she even opened her eyes. She’d promised herself the last time that this had happened that she wasn’t going to sleepover again. If she stopped acting like they were an actual couple, then the feelings she had for Kingsley would just disappear. But, despite all of her best habits, she’d still ended up falling asleep in his bed anyway. And before she could even open her eyes, she knew exactly where she was. She’d been here enough to know it wasn’t her bed, and it wasn’t her bed. And she could feel the familar warmth of him being in the bed beside her.
It was something that was becoming more and more familiar. if she was honest with herself, it was something that she was growing to like. And it scared her, which was exactly why she was trying to ignore her feelings. Of course, continuing to sleep with him, was probably not the best course of action. But Emmeline tended to be a little reckless outside of work.
She rolled onto her back, finally opening her eyes, and staring at the ceiling. She had no idea if he was awake, and also no idea what she was even going to say. Emmeline was positive that she had said she was not sleeping over again last night, just as she had the previous time, and she was preparing herself to have to make an excuse up for why she had failed to stick to her words yet again.
Or maybe she could sneak out. But that hadn’t worked so well either last time. @akingsransom
