Chapter 17: Detox (Indie’s POV)
When I woke up the next morning, Wabara was fast asleep beside me.
I glanced at the time. It’s nearly ten. I should get out of here. I remember a little while ago, maybe it was around eight o’clock, I could hear Wabara moving around the room and then I even heard the front door open and shut. Twice. I’m guessing he went to walk Bourbon. I should have taken my chances and left then but I was still half asleep. I’m also butt naked right now.
I huffed and then reached over, grabbing his shirt that I was wearing earlier. I sat up and pulled that over my head. Then I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom. I pulled them back on, leaving his shirt on and carrying mine. When I walked out of the bathroom, I stopped in my tracks, grabbing my stomach and wincing. Cramps. That means I’ll get my period today or tomorrow at the latest.
I let out a shaky breath and tiptoed around the bed, heading for his nightstand that had my phone on it. I held my breath while reaching for it and then almost let out a scream when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me onto the bed. “Fuck you,” I groaned, trying to push him off.
He frowned, his eyes squinting while he looked down at me. “What are you doing?” he groaned, his voice extremely husky and raw. He rubbed his eyes, looking down at me. “Where the fuck are you going?”
“I’m going home. It’s been too long, I have to go. It’s like I’m living here,” I mumbled, not looking at him.
He lay down on top of me, nuzzling his face into my neck.
I tried slipping my hands between us and pushing him off but he was too heavy for me to move. “Wabara,” I groaned, closing my eyes.
He mumbled something, his lips brushing against my skin but it was incoherent. He kissed my neck a few times and then rolled off of me. “When will I see you?” he asked sleepily, lying on his stomach and keeping his eyes closed.
“Uh, I don’t know,” I said while standing up, gathering all my things. “I’ll text you.” I was leaving when he kneeled on the bed and crawled to the edge of the bed, grabbing my wrist and pulling me back, spinning me around. “Oi,” I mumbled, almost tripping and falling on him.
He grabbed my waist, looking up at me, his eyes only opened just a bit.
I almost laughed while holding his face in my hands, shaking him a little. “Go to sleep,” I chuckled softly. “Bye.”
He leaned forward and kissed my cheek.
“Wabara,” I mumbled.
He blinked slowly, opening his eyes. Then he tugged me forward and kissed me.
I pulled away sooner than I wanted to and pecked his lips before pulling his hands off of me. “Bye.”
“Bye,” he called out, lying back down.
I walked out, grabbing Bourbon and putting him in bed with Wabara before I left. I stepped into the elevator and then downstairs, walking to my apartment building. I walked in and then headed up to the apartment, unlocking the doors and walking in. I was walking to my room and froze when Moretz’s bedroom door opened and she walked out.
“You nasty little liar,” she sang, walking over to me. She walked in a circle around me three times and then stopped in front of me.
“What?” I asked, running a hand through my hair.
“You look freshly fucked.”
I shook my head, “That was last night.”
She gasped, “Who?”
