Chapter 31 Messed up emotions
ZARA'S POV
I woke up feeling sore all over my body. The morning rays of the sun fought between two blind lapels. I stretched my body in the bed before squinting my eyes to take in the environment. Fear gripped me... This wasn't my room.
Then where was I?
Just then, Kai came out of the bathroom, water dripping from his face on to his abs... Those abs had me drooling and I wasn't even ashamed. He stood by the bathroom door, just leaning and staring into my eyes. My wolves purred on the inside. Then I really looked at his body.
Fuck! This guy was a walking sex dream. This made blush to creep up into my face. I noticed fingernail scratches on his body.
"Did I do that?" I threw his way.
He blushed a bit as he scratched the back of his neck unconsciously.
"You did a lot of things last night." He said.
That made sense as to why my body was seriously hurting me.
"I cleaned you up after you blacked out." He said.
"Oh..." I blushed.
"Thank you."
He gave me a brief nod before turning into his walk-in closet.
He threw a pair of academy clothes my way.
"You should get dressed and leave." He said curtly.
There was no emotion in his voice. Ouch! That did hurt. I quickly got out of the bed, grabbing a robe to cover my nakedness before going into his bathroom to clean up myself. I tried to remember details of last night but nothing was forthcoming.
Did I say something wrong? Nothing... Nothing.
I made use of his mouthwash, flossed my tongue then cleaned up my face with a small towel before changing into the academy clothes he had given me. It fit me well which made my tummy coil in pleasure.
No.... It doesn't mean anything.
I left the bathroom and stood in his bedroom. Looking towards the mirror, I straightened my hair to avoid any misunderstanding glares once I stepped out of the room.
As if on cue in line with my thoughts.
"No one will see you. It's just me that stays in this wing." He said.
I knew he was a big shot in the academy, but I just didn't know how big.
I nodded gently as I waited for him to say something else but there was nothing to say. Had I read too much into what had happened last night?
I walked up to the door, prepared to leave and forget that whatever happened between us last night had never happened.
"We're still friends... Okay." He said
Friends? Yeah... Why did I expect something else.
"Yes, we're still friends." I responded.
He gave a small smile before following me out of the room.
We walked through several hallways before finally reaching a place that I recognized. The East Wing.
"I need to check out something before breakfast." He said to me.
Oh! I mean I knew the place so why was I expecting him to walk me back to my dorm.
"Alright. Thanks for last night." I thanked gratefuly before moving forward.
I was doing the walk of shame back to my room and I hated every bit of it. I shouldn't feel this way. I knew what was going to happen.
Then I heard my name.
Subject Night
I was going to ignore whatever funny games was about to happen. I didn't hear the voice again and I was grateful for that.
I saw red lights beeping. It seemed like they were some kind of scanners but on a surface level, they just seemed like cameras. I increased my pace and began jogging slightly till I reached my dorm.
"You finally return." Mira said making me blush a little.
"What's that supposed to mean." I joked a bit.
She chuckled slightly as she threw her duvet over her body.
"Who did you mate with?" She asked a question in which I wasn't ready to respond to at the moment.
I rubbed my hands together, the room suddenly felt cold and I needed some kind of hotness, pressure within me.
"I slept with Kai." I said.
"Woohoo.... You guys finally got rid of that sexual tension brewing within yourselves." She said laughing.
"It's not funny." I glared.
She entered into a full blown laughter session.
"Sorry - Omph - Sorry - Another chortle.
"I didn't mean to laugh." She said giving me a sly smile.
"How was it?' She asked.
"Crazy, wild and fun.' I responded truthfully.
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." She said smiling again.
"Well... I thought we both did." I said, my face falling.
"Did he hurt you?" She asked quickly getting up from the bed.
I looked into her eyes just as the first tear fell. I didn't even know why I was crying. The tears just kept falling. Mira came to my side and helped me to gently sit on the ground. She rubbed my back in small circles as I kept tearing up.
"Wanna talk about it?" She asked.
"I don't know if what happened last night meant anything to him." I said.
"Heyy... You both fucked. As a lady it's normal to add attachments to the whole process but as a guy, it can just some sort of relief, exercise." She explained.
"But.... There's been this whole back and forth kinda stuff with him." I whimpered.
"Maybe... But I would advise that you don't read too much into it.'
I took a deep breath as I listened to her speak. She made sense and that made me feel a bit awful.
I cleaned up my tears and hugged her back.
"Thank you for making me see a light despite all these messed up emotions." I said.
"Aww... It's nothing really." She responded giving me a genuine smile.
"You need to control your emotions. Lest people take advantage of it." She said.
And honestly, she was right. Just then, something broke our reverie.
"Zara Night. Report to Dr. Voss's Office Now." A fellow student said outside our door.
Why? And for what reason?
A feeling of dread came over me.
I wasn't going to like whatsoever would be happening in that woman's office.
