Chapter 205
I was surprised when he returned with a red solo cup of water .
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 .
I glanced in the cup but sure enough , I saw clear liquid .
It didnt smell like anything either , so I relaxed a little and smiled gratefully at him .
Thank you , I told him as I brought the cup to my li The taste was a little off … I crinkled my nose and stared back at the cup before looking up at him .
Its non filtered , he explained .
We dont have any filtered water right now .
We just ran out .
I nodded ; that did make sense .
I took another sip ; though , it tasted strange , it felt good in comparison to the beer .
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 .
So , are you seeing anybody ? he asked .
I was surprised by the question , but I tried not to show it on my face .
This was a strange way to pick upa woman ; standing outside of the bathroom while her best friend puked up her guts .
No , I told him , though I wasnt sure if that was entirely true .
As of right now , it didnt feel like I was seeing anyone .
But would Gavin agree with me ? But Im not exactly looking for anyone to see either .
He nodded .
I get that , he told me .
I hadnt really dated for a long time .
Despite living in a frat house .
Sure , I have women throwing themselves at me , but none of them really kept my interest .
Not like you at least .
I smiled as I took another sip of the water .
Youre a smooth talker , I teased .
Thats can be dangerous .
Why is that dangerous ? 11 Because Im sure you can get what you want with just your words , I told him .
As I spoke , I realized my cheeks were getting warm and my voice was starting to sound a bit far away to my ears .
I shook off the feeling , thinking was probably a bit tired and lightheaded from the beer I drank earlier .
Maybe I can , he said , stepping closer to me .
And is that a problem ? I shook my head and then got super dizzy from the motion .
1 had to hold onto the wall to support myself .
Woah … I said , letting out an embarrassed chuckle.
Im not sure what just happened .
Is it hot in here ? I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and my breathing was getting heavier .
Why was I getting so hot all of a sudden ? Maybe a little , Kyle said with a frown .
Maybe you should drink some more water .
I nodded and took another long and deep sip .
Soon , the cup was empty .
He took the cup from me and threw it in the nearest trash .
My cheeks were burning and I found myself hugging the wall , fearing that I would fall over .
Feel any better ? He asked , returning to me .
Um … I dont know … I said , my words coming out way more slurred than I meant them to come out .
I dont know whats happening to me .
I thought I spoke those last words out loud , but I realized I hadnt .
But I heard them out loud … at least I thought I did .
It didnt feel like it was me speaking anymore .
Was I even breathing ? I looked up at Kyle who was now very close to me .
He wrapped his arms around my body , holding me close to him so I wouldnt fall over .
That was very kind of him … but I still wasnt sure what was happening to me .
Hey , youre okay , he said softly , his voice sounding distant .
His image was becoming distorted .
I opened my mouth to speak , but no words came out .
My lips were completely numb , and I couldnt remember how to speak .
He lowered his head , and I felt his warm breath on the hape of my neck .
How about we go upstairs ? You can lie down and rest ? He suggested .
I wanted to shake my head and tell him that I wanted to go home .
But I couldnt move my head .
My entire body was starting to become paralyzed .
My wolf was itching to come out ; she was in agony as heat coursed through her .
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 .
What was going on with me ? Before I knew what was happening , he was lifting me into his arms and cradling me bridal style .
Lets go to my room , he murmured against me , peppering small kisses along the nape of my neck .
