Niara's POV

I tossed and stirred in my sleep. I ended up sleeping for most of the party yesterday, I didn't wake up until my father was ready to go home.

Killian ended up letting me sleep in one of the guest rooms. I still remember how warm his arms felt around me..

As soon as I got home yesterday I changed into a black pare of shorts and a matching tank top and slept for the rest of the night.

I'm not sure why I was so tired when I slept for hours at the party.

I heard a knock echo from the door and I slowly pry my eyes open. It must be Ms. Marie.

I pushed my covers off of my body and lazily stood up from my bed. I walked across the room and opened the door.

"Goodm-"

My body paused, my hand still on the doorknob. "M-Mr. Donovan? what are you doing here?" I mutter out in a confused voice.

His eyebrow raised in confusion before he raised his arm to check his watch. "I do believe it's time for class" He says before looking back up at me.

I turned around quickly to look at the small clock on my bedside table. Crap he was right!

"I.. I'm so sorry, I must have overslept" I said as I walked back into my room, him following behind me. What makes me even more confused is why Ms. Marie hadn't woken me up.

"It's quite alright" He says as he cleared his throat.

I turned around to face him. His eyes travelled up and down my body, making me look down. My eyes widened as I was reminded of my attire and my face flushed in embarrassment.

I crossed my arms over my stomach before looking up at him. "...Could you give me a few moments?" I asked before walking into my closet and quickly grabbing an outfit.

I didn't want to waste his time so I just threw on a pare of of Jean's and I sweater over my sleepwear.

I let out a small sigh. I really wish I would have woken up sooner. I normally wouldn't show that much skin to a man, and I hadn't planned too.

I gulped before stepping out of my closet and facing him, my face burned red in embarrassment as I averted my gaze away from him.

"I guess we should start?" He says before putting his things on the table I usually use for school.

I nodded and sat down quietly at the table.
