Meridia: The Fall (Book 2 Cato Fanfic)

Kaylaya

Cato was passed out next to me, he needed sleep so bad. Zane probably kept him up just for punishment for some sort.

I lay on my side taking in his features, his blonde hair was a tattered mess though that was a mix of last night and him sleeping.

I felt a smile creep up as I looked at him, he's just so cute when he's sleeping. Right by his eye I did notice a cut though I didn't mention it.

I will once he wakes up, it didn't look deep or even infected so I'm not as worried but I'm asking where he got it from. I told Zane I didn't want a scratch on him.

I sigh thinking about it, He didn't tell me the whole story of what happened, I just know it was bad. Though I don't know if I should ask about it or not.

I hear thumping coming up the stairs, I forgot Priya stayed last night. I feel almost bad, I should've gave an update on how Cato was doing.

I didn't think she would be so worried about him, she looked at him like a sister would look at a brother.

" When are you two- Oh!!" She stops turning back around. " First off.. get some clothes on! Did you two have sex?!"

I hear a hushed laugh from behind me, Cato is now up. " I wanted to, but your annoying ass was here so we couldn't." Cato yawns sitting up.

Priya bends down throwing a shirt at us, it misses where we were laying completely landing on the floor of the bed.

" Get some clothes on, Cato make me some food." She mutters walking out of the room. " I'll give you 5 minutes!"

" You can grab that shirt." He teases pulling me in to kiss my neck.

" Can you grab it for me?" I ask rolling to face him.

" Why can't you?"

" Because.."

He smirks, " I think you got it."

I was very aware I didn't have much clothes on, making me internally freak out a bit, Cato knows it to.

I swallow getting up, Once I was up Cato reached over slapping my ass, " OW! Seriously Hadley?!" I yell giving him a look throwing on the shirt.

" What?" He asks innocently giving me the biggest puppy eyes.

I roll my eyes throwing my hair up in a messy bun, Cato was just watching taking in the view infront of him.

" Did I ever tell you, you look so hot in the morning?" He questioned giving me a knowing smile.

I felt my cheeks heat up, " Your being sarcastic." I mumbled.

He stood up looking me up and down, " I mean everything I tell you."

I shoot my brows up, " Everything?"

" Yea.. On the train, on tour I always though you were hot in the morning."

" Mouth-watering-smoking hot?" I question trying not to to laugh at the memory of drunk Cato.

He scowls at me, " I was drunk."

" Drunk words are sober thoughts Hadley. I know, I'm hot. That's why you wanted to sleep by me every single night."

I see him flex his jaw, trying not to smile. " And you never told me no." He comes a little closer looking at me then down to my lips, " You know, you wanted me around you all the time. I could tell by the way those pretty little eyes would look at me."

He looks directly into mine, cocking his head to the side just a little bit.

" Just by my eyes?" I ask.
