Stuck On You

Chapter 13: In Walked Sophia

I woke up with my head pounding. I squeezed my eyes shut and held my head as I groaned. I heard

Hayden chuckle. I opened my eyes to see him holding something out for me. I took the aspirin and

water from him and downed it.

“Thanks,” I muttered. He sat on the edge of my bed and set something else down in front of me. I

looked at the greasy brown bag and then back to Hayden.

“Greasy breakfast… it’ll help with the hangover,” he explained. I groaned and closed my eyes.

“I’m never drinking again. I probably made a complete ass out of myself last night,” I said. He chuckled RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

and didn’t disagree. I covered my face with my hands and sighed. “Just great,” I muttered. He kissed

my head.

“It wasn’t that bad. I got you out of there before you could make a fool out of yourself in front of

everybody, but it was interesting getting you back home. You really wanted to do it,” he said with a

slight smirk.

“Oh God, did we?” I asked. He laughed and shook his head.

“No, because like I said last night, I wouldn’t take advantage of you like that. You were drunk, it didn’t

count,” he explained. I sighed and shook my head slowly. I reached for the greasy brown bag and

pulled out the breakfast burger. “I’ll go get you some water,” he said before he left. I took a bite of the

burger and cringed. I set the burger down and spit out the bite I took into a napkin. Hayden came back

in and laughed at me.

“It’s literally a pouch of grease,” I said disgusted. “Ugh, it makes me nauseous, Hayden. What the hell?”

I said, swinging my legs over the edge of my bed. Hayden picked up the bag and laughed.

“I guess I should have said that it helps if you can stomach it,” he corrected himself. He threw it away

and came back to plop down on my bed. I stretched and laid down beside him. Hayden pulled me to

him and kissed me gently. I let my eyes close before I pushed him back and sat up. I looked away from

him for a moment.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“You,” I said softly. “You’re making me… never mind; it doesn’t matter,” I stopped myself. I went over to

my drawers and picked out some comfortable clothes. I set them on my bed and pulled off my cardigan

and dress.

“What were you about to say just then?” he asked, sitting up. I sighed and looked at him before I

changed my mind. I grabbed my towel and headed to the bathroom with my underwear still on. Hayden

caught my wrist and pulled me back to him. “Jordyn,” he said in a slight asking voice. He used my full

name which meant that he was serious.

“I just… I wish you weren’t so nice to me. What happened to ‘Hayden, the ass’? I kind of miss him,” I

said. Hayden chuckled and pulled me closer to him as he sat on the edge of my bed. His hands went to

my hips and he smirked up at me.

“He’s MIA for the moment,” Hayden chuckled. “Why do you suddenly want me to be an ass to you?”

“It’s easier to hate you that way,” I said softly. I ran my fingers through his hair and gave a small smile.

“Well, I could always jump in the shower with you if you wanted,” he joked. I bit my lip lightly and looked

toward the bathroom. I was really thinking about it. Hayden stood and looked at me. His body was

pressed against mine. “You’re actually thinking about it,” he noted. I looked at him before I took a step

back.

“I wouldn’t have if you were still an ass,” I threw over my shoulder as I headed to the bathroom. He

laughed and plopped back down on my bed. The shower made me feel better. It definitely helped a lot

with the headache. When I walked back into my room, Hayden was sitting on the edge of my bed,

looking towards my bathroom door.

“Have you been sitting there this whole time?” I asked. He nodded and his eyes ran the whole length of

my body.

“Yeah, I didn’t really feel like moving,” he smirked. He pulled me towards him and tried to untuck the

edge of my towel. My eyes grew wide as I took a step back.

“Uh uh, no way,” I said. “Get out so I can get dressed,” I ordered, heading towards my drawers. He

sighed before he left. I closed the door behind him and dressed in a big t-shirt and shorts. I walked out

and went straight to the kitchen. I grabbed some bread and just started eating it. I was too hungry for

the patience to actually make something, so this was going to have to do to hold me over. I felt

Hayden’s hands grab my butt. I rolled my eyes and swatted his hands away.

“Hayden!” I said, trying to sound irritated, but I wasn’t. Hayden’s phone buzzed. He pulled it out and a

small smirk appeared on his face.

“Luca said that we need to bring our butts to practice,” Hayden chuckled. I groaned before I went to go

put on my workout clothes. Once Hayden was ready, we left.

Everyone was hanging around when we walked in. Luca smiled at us. That smile worried me. It looked

like he had something up his sleeve. There was someone there I didn’t recognized here. “Jo, this is

Sophia,” Luca said. I smiled at her and offered my hand. Sophia had a very lean and fit figure. Her hair

was wavy and black, pulled back into a mid-ponytail. She shook my hand before she smiled seductively

at Hayden.

“Nice to see you again, Hayden,” she said. I rolled my eyes. The puzzle pieces were easy to put

together. Yet another girl that he’s slept with. I couldn’t help it; I was jealous.

“You too, Sophia,” Hayden replied. He turned to me. “Sophia comes in from time to time to

choreograph a dance for us,” he explained.

“Which means our next gig is contemporary or lyrical,” Lana said. “And you and Quinn don’t have any

classical training, so this is going to be extra hard for you and Quinn,” Lana said with a slightly satisfied

smile. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

“I’ve had some classical training,” I input. Luca raised his eyebrows at me. I shrugged. “My dad put me

in everything when I was younger,” I explained.

“We can always work on it more at home,” Hayden offered from beside me. I smiled as he kissed my

head. Sophia’s smile fell as she started putting the pieces together. She cleared her throat.

“We should get started then,” Sophia said. Lana was right; it was hard but I could handle it. There was

a lot of strength and flexibility involved. By the end of our practice, I was an oiled machine again. I

wiped the sweat off with a towel and let out a breath. Lana laughed at me.

“I told you it would be hard,” Lana said. I just shrugged and sat on the couch.

“I’m always up for a challenge,” I replied. “Plus it wasn’t that bad.” Quinn sat next to me and smiled. We

hung for a bit after practice ended before we all left. Sophia lingered around Hayden some more while I

went to go wait in the truck. I watched them with a slight glare. Sophia was leaning into him with her

hand on his chest. I didn’t like that at all. They talked for a while longer before Sophia reached up and

kissed him. I stopped watching after that. I looked down at my lap and waited. When Hayden got in the

truck, I stayed silent and just looked out the window.
