Safe? - Jay Halstead

Chapter 4

Kayla POV

My head pounded as I buried my face further into the pillow inhaling the nice scent surrounding me

A Manly scent

Manly scent?

I slowly lift my head off the pillow and look around now noticing that I have no idea where I am or what's going on

Just as I go to freak out I hear a voice

"Hey, hey your okay" I look up to see Jay across the room walking in through the door, pulling his shirt down his body

"What happened?" I say trying and failing to hide the worry in my voice. I wince finding my own voice sensitive to my ears and he looks to the bedside table thats next to the bed

"There's paracetamol and water there for your hangover" I look to the side finding what he's talking about and I take it slowly watching his movements carefully whilst trying to figure out if anything happened
"You got drunk and couldn't remember your address, so I took you back here. We didn't do anything if that's what your wondering" I sigh in relief

Not that I didn't want to sleep with him or anything

I hate to admit that I did

But I was drunk and that's not the ideal situation I think of when I think of sex especially with a guy you haven't slept with yet

"Oh gosh" I mumble
"I didn't say anything stupid did i?" A smirk appears on his face and I groan

"No no" he waves me off
"Unless you count calling my pretty stupid" the thought of me saying that out loud mortifies me

"I didn't" I groan and he hums

"You did, you also asked me to stay and sleep next to you, but I didn't mind that"

"Gosh, Jay I'm so sorry. It's just- I just" he shakes his head cutting me off

"Don't worry about it, you don't owe me any explanation" I look at him with a grateful look

"Thank you, for everything" he shakes his head.

"It's no problem." he moves across the room and goes into his wardrobe to pull out a vest

"Do you want me to drop you home to get ready because your car is still at Molly's and i know you have an early morning shift. I don't mind taking you to work either" my heart swells at his words, either from guilt or happiness but either way I contemplate his offer

"You don't mind?"

"Nah, I was the one that brought you here. I'll take you to work"

"You've already done so much for me"

"And I don't mind doing more, I'll get you some clothes of mine to wear for on the way" he went to his drawer and picked out some clothes to give to me

"Thank you" I mumbled

"It's no problem. The bathrooms there and there's a spare toothbrush in the bottom left drawer"

"Thank you, so much"

"Stop thanking me, I would do it again anytime. Now go before you're late to work, we still need to stop at your place" I walk into the bathroom and first take my hair down before wetting it and putting it up in a messy bun knowing my curly hair wouldn't be in a good enough state to brush.

After that I change into the clothes and brush my teeth before walking out and seeing Jay in the living room

"You wasn't gonna tell me the shirt I had on was inside out and backwards?" He pressed his lips into a thin line to hide the laughter but it bursts out of him and he crouches over
