Layla's POV

I was forced to consciousness because of the throbbing sensation in my lower body.

I groaned loudly, turning in bed and burying my head in the soft pillow. Something seems off.

I jolt my eyes open when I noticed my lower body was naked. I glanced under the duvet and saw a thin oversized shirt that went below my thigh covering my body.

I looked up when flashbacks of last night infiltrated my mind and I laid back down covering my face.

Jesus.

I uncovered my face and noticed Sinn was nowhere to be found. I traveled my gaze around his room and saw it reflected his whole personality.

The bed sheets were black and the curtains were black too. His room was huge and I felt comfortable there.

I felt a huge rush of exhaustion hit me again and I yawned when the door opened and Sinn came into view.

"Morning Layla," his deep voice said my name and I felt turned on by it. This shouldn't happen first thing in the morning.

I scratched my head smiling nervously, "Good Morning Sinn." He stopped by the bed and crossed his arms.

"You're not thinking of running away again, are you? Cause I won't let you this time." He told me and I looked at him widening my eyes.

"No, I wasn't!" I argued and he scoffed sitting at the edge of the bed.

"You can freshen up, I've arranged everything." He told me, cupping my face and I leaned into his touch.

"How are you feeling? Does it hurt?" He asked, concern lacing his features and I straightened up.

"No, I'm fine! Nothing that I can't handle." I told him smiling as I pushed away the duvet and climbed out of the bed.

But as soon as my feets touched the floor, I felt an uncomfortable sensation between my legs making me stumble. I bit on my lower lip and Sinn immediately came by my side holding me.

But I still didn't let this affect me and kept walking, more like limped.

He tched, picking me up in his arms. I wrap my arm around his neck on instinct and opened my mouth to say something but he cut me off.

"Let me take you to the bathroom, Layla. Don't argue." He ordered, a frown forming on his face and I fought back a smile.

He walked me to the bathroom and put me down. I balanced myself holding the door, "Thanks."

He looked at me and said, "I got you a change of clothes from your room. Mine are too big for you." He checked me out in his black shirt which he made me wear last night and I wanted to kiss him but I just woke up and I'm gross.

"Thank you," I told him again cause I was. My heart was full of affection for him that it could explode.

Sinn met my gaze which was looking at him full of affection. "You don't need to thank me, Layla. I want to do this for you."

I smiled hearing his words and tiptoed on my feet, kissing his cheek. "Then take this," I told him and then closed the door to the bathroom having a big smile plastered on my face.

Mom, I love him.

After a long hot shower, when my sore muscles had finally relaxed and I felt much better, I got out of the shower and changed into the clothes Sinn fetched me from my room.

It was a black sweatshirt and trousers. He does love black a lot. I brushed my teeth with a spare toothbrush he had left for me on the counter and then exited the bathroom.

I left my hair to air dry removing the towel after soaking the water out of my hair.

I exited his room and that's when I noticed how humongous this floor was. I was confused for a second when I heard distant noise coming from the other side.

I walked in that direction and noticed a huge living room and a kitchen island in the corner where Sinn was cooking something.

I entered the room and Sinn turned his attention to me, "Wait over there, breakfast's almost ready." He told me and I saw there was a huge TV in the middle and sofas. This floor looks like an apartment.

"I didn't know you had a place to yourself," I told him sitting on the Sofa and he looked up at me from the kitchen counter.

He tilted his head as he explained, "All three of us have our own private space. This is my floor."

I nodded my head, that's why I rarely found him in the living room or kitchen downstairs which Mattheo, Luca, and I used.

I leaned my back on the sofa. "That's cool," I said as he continued his work.

I picked up the TV remote to put something on. I'm craving some anime, it's been a while since I watched some.

I decided on watching Attack on Titan cause I missed Levi so much. I turned on a random episode where he was chasing after Kenny.

I leaned back pulling my legs to myself. I was so focused on the episode, especially on Levi that I didn't notice Sinn standing in front of me with a plate of pancakes.

I looked up at him as he asked, "What are you watching?"

He placed the plate of pancakes in front of me on the coffee table and my stomach jumped up in excitement removing my gaze from the TV.

He sat beside me and pulled me on top of him. He picked up the plate of pancakes and stabbed a piece of it into the fork.

He neared it to my lips and said, "Open your mouth."

I looked at him with wide eyes and opened my mouth to argue that I can eat by myself. But he just shoved it into my mouth, muffling my words and I swallowed it.

It was the most delicious pancake I've ever had.

He gave me another bite, and I ate without saying anything cause I was really hungry.

Once I emptied the entire plate, he put it aside on the table and placed his hand on my back, I still sat on his lap as he leaned on the sofa.

His eyes stared at the TV which was still playing the episode.

"I've watched this episode." He said, his eyes watching the episode but I couldn't remove my gaze from him.

I devoured his every feature. The shape of his eyes, the curve of his nose, the sharpness of his jaw. And the softness of his lips.

I gulped when my gaze lowered to his adam's apple and neck. He wasn't wearing a turtleneck like he usually does so I could see his neck up close.

Cause last night, I didn't get the chance to.

He turned his gaze from the TV to me and I was startled to find his silver eyes on me. I blinked turning to look at the screen.

"I didn't know you watched anime?" I told him and his hand rested on my back playing with my damp hair.

"I don't. Yuri forced me to watch this one and it's been a long time. I don't have time to catch up." He answered.

"Then make some time. It's one of my all-time favorites, I'll watch it with you." I told him and he looked at me thinking about something.

"Are you feeling better now?" He asked me and I gave him a genuine smile.

"Yea, don't worry." He looked at my face as his eyes stopped at the edge of my lips where the wound from Seth was.

"It looks better than before." He said and I stared at his lips. He met my gaze again and neared my face before closing the distance between us by joining our lips.

He kissed me slowly but then pulled me closer to him getting desperate. I placed my hand on his shoulder as I felt something move under me.

Heat rushed to my face but I smiled, opening my eyes, "Somebody's feeling freaky?" He looked at me, his sharp gaze looking through my soul.

But before any of us could do anything, Sinn's phone rang loudly interrupting us.

He clenched his jaw and closed his eyes in annoyance. He opened them back up picking up his phone and placing it on his ear.

He didn't say anything as the person from the other line said something to him. He didn't lose his grip on my waist the whole time.

When the person was done talking Sinn still didn't reply to him and ended the call, irritated.

"I have to go." He finally said and I felt disappointed. It wasn't like I was going to have the luxury to spend the whole day with him.

He seemed to notice the sudden change in my mood and placed his hand under my chin and made me look at him.

"I'll get over with it as fast as I can." He told me and I smiled nodding my head.

"You can stay here." He told me and then I remembered something.

"I didn't get to tell Suzzie that I'm leaving. You dragged me to come with you." I told him and he looked at me for a moment.

"Do you want to go back?" He asked me and I thought about it.

"Nah, I'll just text her." He nodded his head as he stood up and I got off him and sat on the sofa.

"I'll just watch some anime. Oh and I'll have to tell Yuri that I'm back." I said and Sinn was checking something on his phone before he put it back.

"You don't need to, it's not necessary."

I shrugged and saw him standing there before he leaned down and left a kiss on my lips.

"Don't miss me too much, we'll continue where I left off when I'm back." He teased me and I felt tingles in my stomach.

He gave me one last look. It seems, to leave me was just as hard for him.

And then his phone rang again, he let out a heavy breath frowning before he left me.

I looked at the doorway from where he left.

I miss him already.
