Chapter 9 (1/1)

Elle’s POVA bright strip of light lit up my room then disappeared.“Elle? Are you awake?” Jonghyun's voice called. I didn’t say anything but just acted asleep. Maybe he’ll go away. but I heard his footsteps come closer ‘til I could feel him standing right next to my bed. Soon he climbed in behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I hoped he couldn’t feel my heart beating cuz it was going too damn fast for me to be asleep. He hugged me a little closer.“I know you’re awake.” He whispered in my ear.“No I’m not.” He chuckled and his body shook against mine.“of course you aren’t. so does that make this my dream?”“sure.”“then I get to control it right?”“i… guess…” I could see what he was getting at and I wasn’t sure I liked it.“That means I can do this.” He leaned over and put his lips on mine but pulled away and stared at me for a second.NO. This was not allowed. Not even in his dreams. Not happening. Nope. I turned and faced him, about to yell at him when he brought his mouth to mine and I had given him a chance to slip his tongue inside my mouth. His tongue roamed around my mouth, it was practically mouth rape. Meanwhile, his hand snaked under my shirt reaching for my boobs but I quickly pulled away and moved to the other side of the bed taking all the covers with me. Not happening.“And if this is my dream that is not happening ever or you will be beaten to a pulp ‘kay? And why are you in my room anyway??” I swear I could slap him right now.“No. You owe me so it would happen.” He was really pissed. Too bad I didn’t give a shit.“Owe you for what?? I don’t owe you anything!” I yelled.“YOU left me hanging. YOU led me on. YOU are the one who tried to have sex with me. YOU-““I got kidnapped! I did what I had to do! YOU just fell for it like an idiot!” tears stung my eyes threatening to break out.His voice softened into a near whisper “So I’m an idiot for thinking you were beautiful, for liking you, for wanting you. Yeah total stupidity.”The barrier broke and tears cascaded down my cheeks and onto my shirt and blanket. I just looked at them soaking everything. I hadn’t thought I had hurt him that much. Or that he had felt that way. “I’m so sorry.”He pulled my face close to his and gently kissed me. It was sweet unlike others before that seemed hungry and angry. He let go and leaned back on his pillow with a big sigh.“I’m sorry too, Elle.” He had no need to be sorry. I knew I had caused all this to happen. It was all my fault. I laid down putting my head on his chest and just sat there listening to his even breaths. I suddenly remembered the question I asked earlier.“you never did say why you’re in my room.”“Well did you know your living room was haunted? Cuz I can swear it is.” I just laughed out loud. “You sure it wasn’t the refrigerator or the AC?”“Don’t laugh at me! I’m 100% positive it is haunted. There were all these weird creaking noises and stuff it was freaking me out so I thought I’d come sleep in here.”“awww you were scared of my living room?? Poowr baby!”“Whatever. It was creepy.” He could be so cute and hard to resist sometimes.I could feel myself falling asleep and I was so tired from everything that had happened I needed the sleep. “Night Jonghyun.”“Night Elle.”Joanna’s POVHow could Elle just disappear for almost five days, no calls, texts, or anything and randomly come back with some stranger guy!? Its insane! She can be so stupid sometimes I swear it. and what’s worse is-“Are you ok?” Onew asked politely.“yeah. Just thinking about some stuff. Sorry.” I half lied. No need to bring him into my family affairsor whatever they are; problems.“What were you thinking about that would make you look so pissed like that?” he honestly seemed like he wanted to know what was bothering me and I didn’t expect to let everything out even though he was there willing to listen…“Well my best friend disappeared for pretty much five whole days without ever communicating with me at all in any way but then she came home today and brought some random guy with her who seems pretty suspicious if you ask me and I had to give him my ex best guy friends clothes who abandoned us like 20 years ago or something but it was a long time ago and now he’s sleeping on the couch and hopefully it’s the couch.” I finally sucked in deep breath of air. Looking over at Onew I was thinking I’d see a freaked out expression or something similar but instead I was shocked by a hug. He was warm and inviting.“I’m sorry you’re friends with a madwoman.” He jokingly whispered.“me too.” I huffed.Kinda boring but whatevs!
