CHAPTER 19
SKYLAR’S POV
As I started to open my eyes in the morning, I was surprised that everything was coming into focus. Not like last night. My eyesight was almost completely back to normal. I felt like jumping up and down with joy just because I could see again. But then I froze really suddenly when I realized that I was in the tight embrace of Lucas.
What was he doing in my room? In my bed? I didn’t hear him sneak in here. I’m usually a really light sleeper.
Thanks to dad, I had to be a light sleeper. If I didn’t wake up when he came into my room then I would get twice the beating then he had intended for me. So how the hell did Lucas sneak in here last night?
Maybe I was just so tired that I didn’t hear him or feel him climb into bed.
I felt my heart start racing. This isn’t a scenario that I was used to. I fell asleep so suddenly in the living room while talking to the guys that I don’t even remember how I got to bed. One of them had to bring me in here.
Was it Lucas? What else did he do? Did he do something else that I don’t know about? I had a drink last night. Was it drugged?
All right. Enough. Stop this shit. They aren’t here to hurt me. They said that they will protect me and I have to believe that. I have to. Lucas didn’t do anything to me. I know that he didn’t. I have to believe that he didn’t. I have to trust that he didn’t.
If I don’t start trusting them then this is never going to work. And it has to. We have a plan and I can’t back out of it.
My heart started settling down after it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest and I started taking deep breaths to calm myself down before I went into a panic attack. I didn’t want to scare them. Even though he just did the same thing to me.
Alright, honestly, I didn’t want them to think I was any weirder than they already did. It was hard enough making them think that I was somewhat normal. Because I knew that wasn’t true.
No one could compare to how fucked up I was. I mean, a lot of teenage girls would love waking up next to this gorgeous creature. They wouldn’t have a panic attack like I was about to.
I was just so surprised to say the least, but I was also really confused. I thought he didn’t like me that much. He always spoke to me really abruptly and he never really came near me that much.
But then again, this is the first time I have been this close to Lucas without him being harsh towards me, or mocking me and teasing me about something. Something that he obviously loved to do because he was always doing it.
The longer I laid there staring at his sleeping face, I had to admit, it was definitely a face that a woman of all ages would go crazy for. But his peaceful and gentle demeanor right now in his sleep brought me an unexpected sense of comfort. Nothing I thought would come from him.
Something that made me think of wanting to stay by his side.
Just then, I felt someone moving on the other side of me which also shocked me for a moment but I saw Jax sitting up and he looked over at us.
Oh my god. What the fuck happened last night?
I usually wake up on the floor of a closet. Not in a really comfortable bed with two guys.
I think I am actually losing my mind right now.
Jax chuckled slightly at my embarrassment as he stood up and stretched.
“How would you like me to take a photo to remember this moment?” He joked. I put my head down into my covers for a moment before I looked back up at him.
His teasing actually relaxed me a little and I didn’t feel as embarrassed as I did earlier.
“You know, Lucas would love seeing this. Probably shouldn’t wake him up. Not yet anyway. Let him wake up and see where he is, maybe he sleep walked in here.” Jax said.
“Then isn’t he going to freak out on me?” I asked.
“I doubt it. He looked pretty content right now.” Jax chuckled.
“Do all you guys know how to do is tease?” I asked.
“Yeah, pretty much. It’s what we do. Get used to it. I’m gonna start breakfast.” He said, leaving my room.
I looked back at Lucas and he did look strangely content laying next to me. He had one arm over my waist and was holding me pretty close to him.
I didn’t imagine I would ever wake up like this. It was strange but nice at the same time. I looked at all the different features of his face that I hadn’t seen before. And I was actually able to see now.
I felt safe in Lucas’ arms. His tattooed, strong, muscled arms where I knew I would always be safe.
But I couldn’t help but wonder how I knew that?
