Chapter 9
"I'm sorry I ruined your party." She muttered, adjusting her head so she could look at him. "I didn't mean to I just freaked when you kissed me."
He quickly shook his head, totally dismissing what she said. "You didn't ruin anything." He brushed a tangled piece of her hair out of her face and smiled. "Betcha didn't think you'd end up in my bed on our first date, did ya?" Letty slapped his knee playfully.
"Hey! I told you I didn't wanna go up to your room." She chuckled, half- seriously. "You call this a date?"
"Nope," he replied quickly, shuffling his way on the bed so he was lying beside her.
"Why? You wanna try again?"
Letty almost scoffed but smothered it with a cough. "I think it's best if we don't. What do you think?"
"What makes you say that?" The smile faded from his face as he looked down and away from her.
"Well I think that we've not exactly gotten off to the best start. I mean, this 'date' was all you won remember?" Letty's inferiority complex began to kick in, making her distant.
"Nah, girl. I won more than that. Believe me!" He leant down and softly kissed her on the top of her head. Sensing those, 'I'm not good enough' feelings in her, he changed the subject. "Get some sleep."
"I can't sleep. Actually, I don't sleep." She stated pulling away from. "You get the sleep."
"Yeah, you can sleep. You can sleep here. It's aight. You're safe."
"It's not that. I just...don't. You wouldn't understand." She sighed. "Listen how about you catch a few Zzzz's and I'll wake you up when you need to be wakened. Fair?" Realising there were far too many issues to work through in this night, he nodded his head slowly.
"Aight, you ain't gonna bail on me are ya?" That handsome charming smile shining through. She quirked a brow.
"Only if you try anything." Letty winked and snuggled into him again. Placing an arm protectively around her, he held her close. Closing his eyes, he wandered what had come over him tonight. Normally, a good looking girl for a quick fuck was more than enough. But here was someone with problems. Not just, 'does my bum look big this', but some real major problems. He had actually chased after her, wanting to know more. And there she lay. This beautiful, stunning girl lying next to him and he didn't feel one urge to push her. It was simply enough to lie next to her, feel her rise and fall below him, her deep slow breathing keeping him calm.
