Dangers Back (sequel to "Danger")

"I'm so going to hell for this,"

Shrugging knowingly, Kelsey smirked, “I know,” She winked before standing up and stretching her limbs.

“Ay,” I grabbed her hand before she had the chance to walk away, “Where do you think you’re going?”

Whirling around to look down at me, her face scrunched up in a way that made her look unbearably adorable, “To fix us up two cups of hot chocolate.”

“What are we? Five?” I chuckled, her hand slipping from mine as she gasped disapprovingly.

“Excuse me but I happen to love hot chocolate. It’s the perfect weather for it too and if I’m not mistaken, I do believe you asked the nurse for a cup last week so your argument is invalid.” Sticking her tongue out at me, she dodged the hand that reached over to grasp hers. “Ha! Can’t catch me now, can you?”

“Of course I can’t, I can barely walk as it is.” I stated a matter of factly.

“I know,” She smirked, mimicking herself from before.

Narrowing my eyes at her, I pursed my lips, “You’re a bitch.”

“But you love me,” She giggled, waving a hand dismissively in the air, “I’ll be back in five minutes. Try not to do anything too stupid.” She warned.

Putting my hands up in mock surrender, I smiled, “What could I possibly do?”

“Knowing you, you’ll find something.” Shaking her head, Kelsey walked away, leaving me to fend on my own for the time being.

Leaning over, I winced, forcing myself to grab the remote before straightening up and turning the television on, the screen immediately illuminating, showing whatever program was being viewed last.

Kelsey’s Point of View:

Gripping the sides of the counter, I bowed my head, taking slow and deep breaths to calm myself down. Opening my eyes, I peered upwards, willing myself to get rid of all my thoughts—my doubts and worries.

He was home and that was all that mattered now.

Releasing my hold, I turned to the stove where the kettle was currently boiling water. Widening my eyes once I noticed the top was moving rapidly when it shouldn’t be, I cursed under my breath, grabbing the handle before my head could register that it was too hot to touch. “Fuck,” Dropping it, I put my fingers into my mouth, sucking on the now burning skin. “Jesus Christ,” I sighed irritably.

“What are you doing?” A voice from behind startled me as I jumped, about to turn around when I noticed it was Justin standing there with his arms blocking me from moving either way.

“I-I was going to make the hot chocolate,” I whispered, biting the inside of my cheek. Swallowing hard, I made a move so that I could rotate.

Upon noticing this, Justin moved back a bit though his arms stayed put. Facing him, I caught my breath underneath the intensity in his eyes.
