I rolled over in my bed, stretching my arms out as an aching pain suddenly rose from between my legs.
I furrowed my brow, trying to think about what I did to cause that when my eyes snapped open in shock.
Oh god, that wasn't a dream?!
Memories of last night came flooding back to me as I slapped my hands over my face, trying to calm myself down as I felt the heat creeping up my neck.
That was insane. I mean, all the things we did and how Beckett ended up helping me... finish. I thought he was supposed to just watch! That on its own was enough to make me go into hiding for a few months... but him helping me, god, where do we go from here?
That's when I realized Beckett was in the bed with me when I fell asleep. Does that mean he is still here?
I lowered my hands, peering around the room as my eyes settled on the computer chair he had been sitting in last night. Empty...
That's when my heart dropped. Well, I mean, it's not like I should expect him to stay, right? People do this type of stuff all the time. It's no big deal...
"Freaking jerk." I grumbled, throwing my blanket off as I was about to walk to the bathroom when I saw someone leaning against the door, making me scream.
"What the hell!" I shrieked, seeing Beckett standing there with his shirt off and a mixing bowl in his hands.
"Whose a jerk? You better not be talking about me Sunshine, especially after that extremely kind gesture I did for you last night." He smirked, making my mouth drop as I tried to understand what was going on right now.
"W-why is your shirt off?!"
Was the first thing I asked, trying not to stare at his defined muscles.
Beckett glanced down, acting like he just realized he had no shirt on when he shrugged.
"I'm used to walking around without a shirt." He stated, making me just blink at him in confusion.
That's when I noticed something on his neck, causing my brow to furrow as I pointed at a bandage he now wore.
"What is that?" I began, feeling a gasp escape my mouth as I rushed forward. "Wait, you didn't run into Hudson again did you? Did he hurt you?!"
I went to reach for the bandage as Beckett lifted one hand and caught my wrist while still balancing the bowl in the other.
"First off, Hudson didn't hurt me. I let him hit me because I wanted to prove a point, and second, it's nothing, don't worry about it." His lips said smoothly as I watched his eyes dart away at the last moment.
"You're lying. Your eyes looked away when you said that. Why are you lying to me?" I asked, seeing humor fill Beckett's eyes as he just stared down at me for a few moments.
"You look beautiful when you first wake up."
I almost dropped to the damn floor, wondering if I read that right when Beckett finally let go of my hand before reaching up and brushing my hair behind my ear.
"Why don't you get dressed and meet me out in the kitchen. If you wear that for breakfast I might end up eating something else." I watched as his gaze darted to my panties, making my eyes widen as I let out some type of shriek before pushing Beckett back.
Well, I tried too, but he didn't even move an inch. Damn his muscles.
"Get out so I can change!" I rushed, making Beckett smile. This wasn't his usual snarky smile either... This one had my heart doing flips as my knees threatened to buckle at any moment.
"Give me a kiss first and then I will." He stated.
"A kiss?" I repeated what I thought he said, making Beckett nod before bending his head down slightly, getting even closer to me.
"And I want you to make it real nasty Sunshine."
"Nasty?! What does that even mean?" I burst into laughter, causing Beckett to smile even wider as he looped his free hand around my waist, yanking me to his chest.
That's when I saw whatever type of batter he was holding almost went spilling over the edge of the bowl.
"I'm sure you can come up with something. After last night I'm starting to realize you aren't as innocent as I expected you to be."
I felt my cheeks burn. Is that what he really thought about me? I guess we did do some pretty crazy things last night, but I was just following his lead!
"Stick your tongue out." He ordered, glancing down at my lips as his hand slid down to my lower back.
I felt a rush of air escape my lips. The way my heart was pounding so hard I had no doubt Beckett could probably hear it.
I slowly slipped my tongue out, watching as Beckett's eyes lit up with excitement before he slowly slipped his own out. The length of it surprising me as he finally closed the gap, licking my tongue as he began playing with it.
I felt electricity rush through me, the way he rolled against my flesh had my thighs squeezing together before he came even closer, fusing our mouths together.
I couldn't even imagine what we must look like right now as he sucks and bites my tongue but the weirdest part of it all... I actually liked it. A lot.
I fluttered my eyes shut before lifting on my toes and deepening the kiss even more. And once he started biting at my bottom lip, I knew I was done for. I don't think I could say no to Beckett at this point. Whatever spell he has over me, I didn't want it to end.
But of course it did and he was the one to end it.
I felt him pull back, his teeth still gripping my bottom lip tightly before he finally let go and gave me one last kiss.
I opened my eyes, looking up into those intense blue ones as he searched my face intently.
"That's my girl. Now get dressed, and leave your ear off if you want. You don't have to wear it around me." And with that, Beckett turned and walked out of my room, leaving me standing here speechless as I went stumbling back to my bed, collapsing down on top of it.
What the hell is happening right now?!
I mean, this isn't pretending anymore, right? There is no way Beckett is doing all of this because of the girl he likes. I mean, it's not like she can see what's happening in my dorm room.
That's when I sat back up, my eyes widening in shock.
Unless... What if the girl he likes just so happens to be Ari?
Is that why he didn't want to tell me who it was?
I jumped to my feet, starting to pace the room in a panic as I went over every single fact about this girl that I knew.
Nothing, I knew nothing! Wait, he did say he had a few classes with her. Does Ari have classes with Beckett? And he also said I didn't know her... But come on, that could've been a lie.
He also said the girl would be at the game. And he does seem to dislike Hudson for some reason. I mean, if he found out Hudson liked Ari, wouldn't that make them enemies or something?!
I began to spiral down this rabbit hole of conspiracy theories when I saw my phone go off on my nightstand, making me reach for it.

Ari: Omw home, what do we have to eat? I'm staaaarving.
I felt my heart drop, wondering if this was part of Beckett's plan all along as I sunk back down onto my bed.
I guess I'm about to find out. God, leave it to me to start falling for the guy I started a fake relationship with.
But I swear if Ari is the girl he wants to make jealous, I'm going to lose my s**t.
