My mind was racing when I returned back to my room, not believing what had just happened. I jumped onto the bed, burying my face in the pillow before letting out a series of screams.
Why, no matter how hard I try not to do anything humiliating in front of Sin, do I keep embarrassing myself In front of him, it just keeps happening. It was like the universe was against me.
I sighed, refusing to take my head out of the pillow even when I heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching the bed.
Well, this wasn’t the sight I was expecting.
"Well, this wasn't the sight i was expecting." Zoey muttered, making me look up from the pillow, casting a glare her direction and watching her shudder in confusion as she dropped the plate of Ores and the glass of juice on the table.
"Woah... why do I have a feeling you are planning my murder in your head?"
" Because I am." I yelled, jumping out of bed, picking up a pillow in the process.
Zoey takes a step back, racing towards the other side of the bed, picking up a pillow of her own.
" I believe I deserve to know what I am being killed for." She asked in hilarity, and my glared harden.
" Don’t worry, you are going to love it. There are a lot of thrilling and entertaining chapters". I mimicked her words and her eyes shone in realisation, before a smile made its way to her lip.
" I see you know what kind of book it is." She mutters. "But, I didn’t think you would get to the smutty part this quickly." She said, wiggling her brows.
I sighed in frustration, running my hands through my face. " It would have been a good thing if that was the case." I groaned, plopping down on the bed.
" What happened?" She asked, laying down as well.
" Nikolai."
"Mani." She whispered a yell, tapping my head.
" What.."
" You aren’t allowed to say his name. I’ve told you of the repercussions. "
"Oh..." I realised my slip-up, knowing this was the first time she had heard me use his name. " You don’t have to worry about me losing my head. Apparently, he hates it when I call him Sin."
" What?..." She yelled, lifting herself up with her elbow while gazing at me with wide eyes. " You’re serious." She asked, and I nodded. " How...when did that happen?"
" The night of my graduation, he said he didn’t want me addressing him as Sin." I stated nonchalantly, acting like it was no big deal even though I knew it was.
Zoey stared at him with her mouth open wide and she gasped. " I can’t believe you didn’t tell me this."
" You do recall I was pissed about being here and still am. But I have gotten a bit more used to it than when I first came here."
"True." She replies, laying back on the bed. " So what happened with Sin? Why did you look so petrified and all?"
I sighed before I began explaining what had trespassed between Sin and I in the hallway, along with every horror I felt, but left out a few parts about how he wished to be the one to corrupt me and the like.
Once I was done with my story, the room was instantly filled with Zoey’s laughter, and I struggled not to blush.
" It’s not funny." I said, nudging her hand.
She turns to look at me, lifting her body slightly up while resting her head on her palm. Her mouth fell open as her expression lightened to one of complete amusement and utter exasperation all at the same time. "Mani..." Her eyebrows pulled up in the middle, and I couldn’t tell whether she was going to laugh or sigh.
Her laughter filled the room again, and I so badly wanted to dig my head into my pillow again.
" I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t be laughing at your expense, but God. " She snickers. " You must have been very petrified. I know I would be." She patted me sympathetically on the cheek.
" You have absolutely no idea." I groaned.
