I was expecting a water bottle or something , but he didnt seem to be fazed by it and he handed it to me with a grin .<\/p>\n
I glanced in the cup but sure enough , I saw clear liquid .<\/p>\n
It didnt smell like anything either , so I relaxed a little and smiled gratefully at him .<\/p>\n
Thank you , I told him as I brought the cup to my li The taste was a little off \u2026 I crinkled my nose and stared back at the cup before looking up at him .<\/p>\n
Its non filtered , he explained .<\/p>\n
We dont have any filtered water right now .<\/p>\n
We just ran out .<\/p>\n
I nodded ; that did make sense .<\/p>\n
I took another sip ; though , it tasted strange , it felt good in comparison to the beer .<\/p>\n
As I drank a bit more , I looked up at him and he saw that he was watching me with a curious expression on his face .<\/p>\n
So , are you seeing anybody ? he asked .<\/p>\n
I was surprised by the question , but I tried not to show it on my face .<\/p>\n
This was a strange way to pick upa woman ; standing outside of the bathroom while her best friend puked up her guts .<\/p>\n
No , I told him , though I wasnt sure if that was entirely true .noveldrama<\/p>\n
As of right now , it didnt feel like I was seeing anyone .<\/p>\n
But would Gavin agree with me ? But Im not exactly looking for anyone to see either .<\/p>\n
He nodded .<\/p>\n
I get that , he told me .<\/p>\n
I hadnt really dated for a long time .<\/p>\n
Despite living in a frat house .<\/p>\n
Sure , I have women throwing themselves at me , but none of them really kept my interest .<\/p>\n
Not like you at least .<\/p>\n
I smiled as I took another sip of the water .<\/p>\n
Youre a smooth talker , I teased .<\/p>\n
Thats can be dangerous .<\/p>\n
Why is that dangerous ? 11 Because Im sure you can get what you want with just your words , I told him .<\/p>\n
As I spoke , I realized my cheeks were getting warm and my voice was starting to sound a bit far away to my ears .<\/p>\n
I shook off the feeling , thinking was probably a bit tired and lightheaded from the beer I drank earlier .<\/p>\n
Maybe I can , he said , stepping closer to me .<\/p>\n
And is that a problem ? I shook my head and then got super dizzy from the motion .<\/p>\n
1 had to hold onto the wall to support myself .<\/p>\n
Woah \u2026 I said , letting out an embarrassed chuckle.<\/p>\n
Im not sure what just happened .<\/p>\n
Is it hot in here ? I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and my breathing was getting heavier .<\/p>\n
Why was I getting so hot all of a sudden ? Maybe a little , Kyle said with a frown .<\/p>\n
Maybe you should drink some more water .<\/p>\n
I nodded and took another long and deep sip .<\/p>\n
Soon , the cup was empty .<\/p>\n
He took the cup from me and threw it in the nearest trash .<\/p>\n
My cheeks were burning and I found myself hugging the wall , fearing that I would fall over .<\/p>\n
Feel any better ? He asked , returning to me .<\/p>\n
Um \u2026 I dont know \u2026 I said , my words coming out way more slurred than I meant them to come out .<\/p>\n
I dont know whats happening to me .<\/p>\n
I thought I spoke those last words out loud , but I realized I hadnt .<\/p>\n
But I heard them out loud \u2026 at least I thought I did .<\/p>\n
It didnt feel like it was me speaking anymore .<\/p>\n
Was I even breathing ? I looked up at Kyle who was now very close to me .<\/p>\n
He wrapped his arms around my body , holding me close to him so I wouldnt fall over .<\/p>\n
That was very kind of him \u2026 but I still wasnt sure what was happening to me .<\/p>\n
Hey , youre okay , he said softly , his voice sounding distant .<\/p>\n
His image was becoming distorted .<\/p>\n
I opened my mouth to speak , but no words came out .<\/p>\n
My lips were completely numb , and I couldnt remember how to speak .<\/p>\n
He lowered his head , and I felt his warm breath on the hape of my neck .<\/p>\n
How about we go upstairs ? You can lie down and rest ? He suggested .<\/p>\n
I wanted to shake my head and tell him that I wanted to go home .<\/p>\n
But I couldnt move my head .<\/p>\n
My entire body was starting to become paralyzed .<\/p>\n
My wolf was itching to come out ; she was in agony as heat coursed through her .<\/p>\n
It was strange because I could feel her heat , it was painful and it made my entire body burn , but I also felt so out of it that I couldnt move .<\/p>\n
What was going on with me ? Before I knew what was happening , he was lifting me into his arms and cradling me bridal style .<\/p>\n
Lets go to my room , he murmured against me , peppering small kisses along the nape of my neck .<\/p>\n
