KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Elijah froze in his place. "Fuck," he muttered. I pressed my head into the pillow and sighed.
He was so close. I was just about to get it on with my extremely hot boss until someone had to interrupt. By now, Elijah had stood up from the bed and walked to the door.
He turned to me and said, "I'll get it." Then he walked out of my room. I sighed once more before grabbing the nearest shirt and putting my underwear back on.
"Kyla?"
"Yeah," I called back.
"Uh, Jake is here."
Oh, nice.
I stood up from the bed and checked myself in the mirror. My hair was an absolute mess, as well as my makeup. I was still very much drunk but I was more composed.
Making sure my appearance was up to my drunken standards, I took a step outside my room and made my way down the short hallway. When I looked at the door, no one was there.
"Hey," a voice said. It was Elijah's. I turned to him and saw him and Jake sitting in the living room. Elijah was slouched in the armchair, fiddling with a loose string. He was still clearly drunk.
Jake was sitting on the couch, with his back to me. His head was faced towards Elijah, probably wondering who the hell he was. Or maybe he knew.
"Hey, Jake." He turned toward me and his eyes slightly widened, looking me up and down.
I could feel my face heat up and I quickly turned to the kitchen and went to get a cup. Jake had made his way to the kitchen and sat at the island, facing me.
"What's up?" I took a sip of the water, temporarily clearing my mind.
"I know it's late," he glanced at the stove clock, making sure I did too. It was 3:51. "But I just wanted to stop by, I was bored."
My eyebrows raised. "Really, bored at almost four in the morning, makes sense."
"Well, I thought you would be bored too, but I guess you were busy."
I felt my face heat up again.
I was, in fact, busy, but now that you are here, I am as bored as you probably were.
"Could you maybe stop by later today or something, I want to go to sleep."
Jake nodded and slid out of the chair. "Sleep, right," he muttered. I glared at the back of his head as he made his way to the door. He had it opened before he turned to look at me.
"See ya later." I gave a small smile in return and waved my hand at him. As he closed the door behind him, I turned my attention to Elijah.
He had moved to the couch, laying on his stomach. Sound asleep.
"Geez," I let out a small laugh.
I leaned over the couch, gently nudging his shoulder. Nope, he wasn't going to wake up. I walked into my room and gathered a blanket and laid it on top of Elijah, who immediately grabbed it and snuggled with it.
I let out a laugh before turning off the lights and grabbing my drink. The blankets were still warm and smelled like Elijah. I cuddled up with them and fell into a restful sleep.
*****
The sound of something knocking over abruptly awoke me from my sleep. The early morning sunlight peered in between the spaces that my curtain didn't cover.
The clock read 7:04.
The creaking of my door made me sit up and look at my door.
In came Elijah. Sometime in the night, he had taken off all his clothes, because now he was only adorned with his grey boxers. He had the blanket I had given to him, wrapped around himself. His hair was all disheveled, he had that sexy morning look.
"Can I sleep with you," he mumbled.
"Yes," I laid back down and snuggled back into the warm blankets and closed my eyes.
I felt his arm pull me to his chest and rest his head on the back of my neck. And I fell into a deep sleep, being cuddled by my boss.
*****
"Fuck yeah!"
I slowly opened my eyes and immediately felt the pain in my head.
"Come on, pass it, pass it!"
I slowly turned around and found the bed empty.
"What in the hell kind of pass was that?"
Elijah must be watching football. It is Sunday, right? Jesus, I can't remember what day it even is.
Am I still drunk? I chuckled at my own thoughts. Yes, yes I was.
I reached for my glass of water and sat on the bed for the next ten minutes while rubbing my head. I heard the occasional praise or complaint from Elijah.
I reached for my phone and saw 5 messages from Jake.
Jake: Sorry I stopped by, kinda rude.
Jake: It won't happen again, promise
Jake: You there?
Jake: Helloooo?
Jake: Guess you must have fallen asleep or something... text me when you get the chance.
I thought for a moment on whether I would text him back. Well, it wouldn't hurt to.
Kyla: Hey Jake, let's talk later about this. But yeah, it was pretty rude.
I turned off my phone, not waiting for a reply, which I knew would be quick, and slowly made my way out of the bedroom.
As the view of the living room came in, I saw the most noticeable thing.
Elijah. Jumping in front of the tv yelling at the players like they could hear him.
"Can you be any louder," I half-shouted.
Elijah stopped and turned to me. He had a playful smirk on his face.
"Sorry." He chuckled a little bit before grabbing the remote and turning down the tv.
"I didn't say turn the tv down, I said turn you down."
"I thought it would help," Elijah said shrugging his shoulders.
"Right." I went into the kitchen and got myself a fresh glass of water.
"Come here please."
I looked at Elijah and he motioned an open spot next to him on the couch.
"Okay."
I sat down and covered my lap with a blanket, sipping every now and then from my glass.
"Listen," he paused for a moment, collecting his words, "About last night, let's not continue what we didn't finish and let's not speak about it again."
I nodded. I was, of course, disappointed, but it was the right thing to do. I just need to forget about what ever happened and what almost did.
"We are in a professional relationship so let's keep it that way. If this gets out, there will be consequences. Understood?"
There was no more playful Elijah, it was now professional Elijah.
"Yes, understood."
"Good, I think it's time for me to go. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 8 am."
"See you then."
Elijah got his stuff to ready and redressed into his outfit he wore the night before. He grabbed his phone and called an uber.
"Don't forget you and I are going to L.A in April for about a week."
"Yeah, I remember."
"Good, see you tomorrow."
And with that he closed the door and was gone.
