Room 452

I mumble almost incoherently. “Oh? Back to morning fucks again? We’ll see if you don’t bail.”

He bites down on my earlobe. “We’re in my bed silly. Where am I going to go?”

I mumble a sound, and then I let the darkness take over. I drift off to sleep perfectly at peace.

Chapter 14

I don’t know where I am when I wake up. What’s that noise? My doorbell doesn’t sound like that. I stretch my arms over my head as I slowly peek my eyes open. I take a look around the room, and then it finally hits me. Sawyer. I’m in Sawyer’s bed.

I whip my head to the side, but the bed is empty. What the actual fuck? Did he seriously bail?

I place my feet on the floor and stretch one more time. That’s when I smell the food. Is he cooking? I stand up and start walking toward the door, but that’s when I hear voices talking.

“What are you doing here?” Sawyer asks someone. He doesn’t sound happy whoever it is.

“Is that the way you want to greet your only brother?” Chip says.

I smile. I like Chip. I go to open the door, but then I pause. Do I want anyone to know I’m here? It’s not like Chip knows anyone I know, but still. I decide to just listen in for a few more minutes.

Sawyer’s voice doesn’t sound any friendlier. “Why are you in town?”

Chip’s voice gets closer, so he must’ve walked into the house further. “Do I need a reason to visit? Are you cooking?”

“Yes, and a little warning would be helpful.” Sawyer responds.

“What? Like you had plans? And look, you made enough for two, so don’t mind if I do.” Chip says.

“That’s not for you.” Sawyer sounds even more annoyed.

There’s a pause between the two men. “What?” I hear Sawyer ask.

“Oh my God! Is someone here?” Chip practically yells.

“No.” Sawyer lies.

Chip doesn’t buy it. “And you’re fucking making her breakfast? Jesus! Who the fuck is this woman? Have you ever even brought a woman here before?”

I try to suppress a giggle, but before I can even react, the bedroom door is being ripped open. Sawyer yells behind Chip. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

It’s too late though because here I am standing face to face with Chip in nothing but Sawyer’s t-shirt. He opens his eyes wide like he didn’t really believe someone would be in here. “Blake?” He asks.

“Uhh...hi Chip.” I wave awkwardly.

Sawyer grabs Chip and pulls him out of the room. “Get out of here!” He yells at him. “I’ll deal with you in a minute.” Then he slams the door shut and turns and looks at me.

“Sorry about that.” He says to me.

I smile at him. “You left me alone in bed again.” I joke.

He leans forward and kisses my forehead. “I’ll get rid of him.”

I step back and smile at him. “No! I like Chip. He can stay.”

Sawyer groans. “That’s exactly why I want to get rid of him. I don’t need him here trying to steal you away.”

I laugh. “Has that happened to you before?”

He narrows his eyes. “Of course not, but you’re a strange person. Who knows what might happen.”
