Love, Lies and a Flash of the Past

Chapter 49

---------- Chapter 49 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!

Come on! Open the door!

I’m basically jumping up and down outside of Carter’s flat. Where’s Haden?!

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!

               “Hello?” I call loudly.

Silence.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!

               “God damn it! When people don’t respond, it’s a subtle way of saying ‘go away’!” Carter hisses, wrenching the door open.

His hair is messy and his eyes are bleary; obviously he just woke up.

I take a step back, putting some distance between us just in case, and fix him my brightest smile. “Morning Carter!” I chirp. “Is Haden ready?”

Carter merely fixes me a glower and steps aside so I can walk in. I grin sheepishly and quickly cross the living room to Haden’s room.

Knock, knock, knock!

               “Damn it, Skye! Just open the door!” Carter mutters, stalking past me back to his room. He slams the door pointedly.

I gingerly push the door open to find Haden still asleep, his face partially covered by his blanket. I can’t help the smile that creeps its way onto my face.

I worm my way onto his bed and into his embrace. His hands instinctively enclose my waist, pulling me against him tight.

               “You smell nice,” he mumbles sleepily, barely cracking an eye open.

               “What if I were some other girl?” I pout, turning over to face him.

               “Wouldn’t change the way you smell,” he says, a small smile tugging at his lips.

I swat his arm lightly, admiring how handsome my boyfriend is. I’m such a lucky lady! Who else could say they get to sneak into an Adonis’ bed and have him hold her?

               “Wake up Nibbly,” I sing-song, pecking him on his lips.

He cracks an eye open, smiling at the kiss. “Nibbly?”

               “Yup. I’m calling you Nibbly from now on. You love nibbling on my neck, so you’re Nibbly!” I announce gleefully.

Don’t laugh, it took me ages to think up a cute nickname for him. Haden isn’t the cutesy type, so it wasn’t easy!

Haden chuckles appreciatively, sucking on my neck. Him and his hickeys! Maybe I should call him Hick instead!

               “What time is it Kinks?” he asks, his eyes drifting close.

               “It’s about a quarter past six,” I answer before suddenly pausing. What did he call me?! “Did you just call me Kinks?”

He nods his head, rolling out of bed. And the moment he’s out of bed, I can’t help but blush. Haden likes to sleep in nothing but his boxers. I’m not complaining, but...yeah....picture my Adonis with his toned, slightly tanned body, all exposed for my viewing pleasure...

               “I’m Nibbly because I like to nibble on you. You’re Kinks because you’re so kinky,” he shrugs, winking at me.
