You Got Me by Mercy Amare Page A

writing on them, but they were still red from the pressure. She wrote hard enough to draw blood. It scared me, because there was nothing I could do.
    I decided right then and there that I would fix her. If it was the last thing I did, I would fix Roxy. With a satisfied nod, I quickly fell asleep.
     
    ROXY
    When I woke up, I had the strangest feeling that somebody was watching me. I opened my eyes and looked straight into Aiden's eyes. I had to admit, his blue eyes were kind of wonderful to wake up to. I could definitely get used to this.
    “ Hi, beautiful.” He gently kissed my lips.
    Yep, I'm officially a morning person. “Hey.”
    “You're kind of cute when you sleep.” He smiled. “Did you know your snore?”
    I was sure that my face was blushing. “I do not.”
    “Do too,” he countered. “But I promise it's a really adorable snore.”
    “ Were you watching me sleep?” I joked, raising my eyebrows.
    “ Maybe...” he half-laughed, half-coughed.
    “ Creepy, dude.”
    “ Well, maybe if you didn't snore, I could get some sleep.” He sat up on the bed, pretending to be mad at me. “Really, I should be mad at you for keeping me awake. Maybe you should see a sinus doctor or something.”
    I rolled my eyes, and got up too. “Well, why don't you sleep now, while I go eat breakfast?”
    “Breakfast?”
    “ My mom cooks amazing pancakes,” I teased. “I'll try to save you some, but I don't know. They're kind of like chips... You can't eat just one... I'll see you in a few hours. That is, if you're feeling up to it.”
    I started to walk towards the door, but Aiden scooped me up and threw me on the bed like I weighed nothing. I didn't mind, though. I had quite a few fantasies that started with him throwing me onto the bed, and then him having his way with me. But, he didn't come ravish me.
    “Last one downstairs is a rotten egg,” he said, and then took off.
    I jumped off the bed and raced him down the stairs. I was surprised when I passed him on the last step. I turned around and teased him. “Awe, can the football player not keep up.” I laughed and continued running towards the kitchen. Just as I turned the last corner, he tackled me to the ground. He did it in such a way that I actually fell on top of him. It was really cute.
    “Tie?” he asked.
    I nodded my head, and looked at his lips. I was about to kiss him when Emily emerged from the doorway. “Breakfast is done,” she said, giving me an amused look.
    I quickly got off of him, and he followed me into the kitchen.
    We both loaded up our plates. I grabbed 3 pancakes, some bacon, and a huge glass of milk. Aiden looked at me like there was no way I could eat all the food on my plate.
    “Emily is trying to fatten me up,” I shrugged. “I always eat way more than I should when I'm at home.”
    “ Yeah right,” he laughed. “I bet you won't even eat half.”
    “ I'll eat more than half. I'll eat it all.” I was confident. He didn't know how yummy the pancakes were.
    “ I feel a bet coming on.”
    I rolled my eyes. “Fine. What's my prize if I eat them all.”
    “Me,” he said, cockily.
    I couldn't hold back the giggle.
    “I'll be your slave for the day. If you can eat them all.”
    “ Slave, huh?” I raised my eyebrow. “Challenge accepted.”
    “ Wait, what do I get if I win?” he asked.
    I rolled my eyes. “We've been over this. You aren't going to win. I am.”
    He glared at me.
    “ Fine. If you win, and that's a big if, I will clean Gary's side of your dorm room.” Something that would benefit us both.
    “ No,” he shook his head. “If I win, you have to wear nothing but that little red bikini for the rest of the day.”
    I gulped. I didn't like that. Sure, the alcohol last night had made me feel more confident, but there was no way I could do it all day. “I don't know...”
    “I thought you couldn't lose,” he provoked me.
    “ Fine.” I looked at my plate, suddenly feeling sick to my stomach. How did I manage to get
