My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 57

"Don't leave me,” Beatrix said, shielding her face with my chest. Her voice was still shaking and quiet.

"I won't," I said in a matter of fact. "I will never do that."

With that, Beatrix snuggled her head closer to my chest and hugged my torso very very tightly. And I knew that it was my first step to try to get closer to her.

I felt myself wanting to wake-up but I was also feeling lazy. My eyes felt so heavy and tired and suddenly, my bolster was feeling too good to let go.
