Chapter 9

I couldn't sleep very well that night – but it had nothing to do with the bed. The bed was large and beautiful, with a dark purple comforter and fluffy white pillows. But I lay there all night, tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep and it was all to do with the prick down the corridor.

I hated him except that I didn't hate him at all...no I was desperate for him to like me, to want me, to fall in love with me. But he'd made it quite clear that he wouldn't and I desperately wanted to hate him for it, but no, if anything it just made me desperate for him to want me. I wanted Seth to want me.

When it got to three in the morning, and I was still stressing and unable to sleep, I climbed out of the bed and headed downstairs. I looked around the house, admiring the beautiful interior, without turning any of the lights on.

In the kitchen, I got myself a glass of water before sitting, at the breakfast bar, and staring out into the dark night forest. I checked my phone to see a few text messages from Chris, but I ignored them and decided I wouldn't wake him up in the middle of the night just because I couldn't sleep.

"You're making a lot of noise" a deep male voice snapped from behind me. I yelped in shock as I spun around to see a moody looking Seth standing in the doorway.

"I wasn't making any noise" I barked angrily at him.

"I have very good hearing and I could hear you walking around" Seth retorted, as he walked further into the room. He was wearing a pair of jogging bottoms low on his lips, as his glistening chest was bare and hard. I gulped as I tried my hardest not to check him out.

"Well sorry for fucking walking" I deadpanned.

Seth rolled his eyes, "shut up".

"You're the one that came down here to shout at me". I rolled my eyes at his stupid behaviour, before moving away from the breakfast bar and standing up.

"Where are you going?" Seth demanded.

"Back to bed. I would rather lay there and not sleep, than sit here and have you bite my head off". I walked childishly from the room. I heard him sigh and grumble incoherently under his breath – but he didn't make a move to follow me.
