Malibu ~ Jeremy Gilbert// Teen Wolf & The Vampire Diaries

Chapter Eight

My eyes slowly drift open, it still seems dark outside but then again my curtains are covering the window so I don't get a great view. I try to roll over but I'm stopped by an arm that has been wrapped around my waist. I look up to see I'm laying beside Jeremy, our legs tangled together, my head on his chest.

I look at the time on my clock,5:30 am. I groan gently as I'm conflicted.

I'm not waking him and sending him home at 5:30 am. If I try and move I might wake him up and then he will feel like he has to go home, and I don't think I want him to. Because as weird as it is, I feel kind of safe. But if he wakes up and sees us like this he might freak out.

I only have another hour before I have to get up, so I decide to go back to sleep. But I can't sleep.

I just lay there, looking up at him - not doing it too often as that's creepy and we aren't dating. It's true what people say though, people do look younger in their sleep.

I let my thoughts wander for another half hour before he moves his arm, allowing me to quickly slip out of the bed. I go to get in the shower in my room but I know that he will most likely wake up so I grab my shampoo and conditioner and use the main bathroom, locking the door behind me.

I shower, and go back into my room wrapped in a towel, a very short towel. I walk in and see Jeremy sleepily swooning awake

"Hey." He says groggily, eyes so closed. I can't help but notice how sexy his morning voice is but I decide to get my mind out of the gutter and respond before he thinks I'm weird.

"Hey." I say and turn on the fan in my bathroom, he will probably want to shower. "What time is it?" He asks, eyes still closed. "Almost 7." I say calmly and sit at my vanity.

"7? In the morning?" He asks. "Yup." I say and pop the 'p'. "Did we both fall asleep?" He asks. "Well no I say up and watched you sleep for eight hours." I retort sarcastically and he laughs.

"What am I gonna do? I can't go home now, Jenna and Elena would be awake." He says. "Just shower here, the fan is already on so you can have hot water.I'll get you some of my brothers clothes and we can say you and Stiles has a study thing and you slept on the couch." I say, thinking of a lie to tell Elena.

"How did you think of that so quick?" He asks. "My Dad is the sheriff, I have to keep my good girl reputation somehow, so I became a full time pathological liar at age 7." I giggle.

"Oh..one slight problem, your brothers clothes aren't exactly my style." He says. "I'll find something. Stiles went through an emo phase a few months ago so he will have something black and emo-ish." I chuckle.

"Did you have an emo phase?" He asks me, eyes still closed. "When my mom died, Yeah. I was only 11 but I thought I would get it over and done with. I also had a druggie phase last year...being a pathological liar helped hide it." I shrug.

"Oh...wow." He says awkwardly. I see him sitting up in the mirror. "What?" I ask. "N-Nothing. I just wasn't expecting you to be in a towel." He says. "I just got out of the shower.." I say in a 'duh' tone.

"Right..." He trails off. "I'm gonna shower now." He says awkwardly and walks past me to get to the bathroom. I laugh lightly.

I realise my blow drier is in the bathroom so I knock on the door. He opens it, shirtless. "Sorry, I just need my blow drier." I say awkwardly and grab it quickly. I bite my lip as I walk out to fight a smile. "Bye." I blurt our and leave. I hear him chuckle lightly once he has the door closed again.

I dry my hair and grab my panties and bra and slip them on. I reach for my dress but I hear the door open. Jeremy is in a towel. "Ah!" I exclaim. "Oh...God." He says awkwardly but neither of us move for a second, looking each other up and down. "Um...what are you d-doing out here?" I ask...stupid vampire emotions making me twice as turned on. "Oh I n-need clothes." He says awkwardly.
