Valentine's Day
The Rebel's Household
There it was, sitting at the window sill whistling a very recognizable and recurring tune. The morning sun shines upon the small creature giving it a radiating glow. Hearing its loud whistle even from outside woke me up and boy I am certainly not a morning person.
I yawned, covering my mouth at the same time while inhaling the disaster of my morning breath, I scrunched my face up, "What the hell was that?". Sitting up, I twisted my body to the left and right before making the bed. Checking the time on my phone real quick, only to notice I didn't put it to charge last night.
I scoffed at the sight of the dead device before fixing myself a bath and getting ready for the day ahead of me.
Before I even thought of opening the door, it was swung open, hitting the wall when the person behind it raised his palms to his mouth and yelled, "Happy Valentine's Day Amara!" I shrunk just a little because of the sound but smiled softly as I saw a bag full of what I'm assuming, different kinds of chocolate and a rose.
"Aww thank you, Jimmy this is very much appreciated--wait are those for me or because if so then I didn't get you anythi--"
"Shhh," he placed his finger upon my lips, " Yes my beautiful amiga, these are for you, as you already know it's Valentine's Day and I wanted to do something special for you, I hope you like it because this was giving me hell to decide what you would prefer" he chuckled nervously rubbing the back of his neck.
I sighed softly, taking it as he handed it to me, "Honestly you didn't have to do this for me, I didn't even know what today was and I'm feeling a bit guilty not getting you anything, but I know If I even attempt to give it back to you, you would not allow it so," I chuckled, "Thank you..really this is the most that anyone has ever even done for me and you just made my day."
He smiled proudly at himself, grabbing my hand as I've just finished placing the rose in a jar full of water but still holding onto the bag with goods. "Where are we going Jim Jim?" he glanced down at me smirking, raising his eyebrows at the nickname I gave him, "Jim Jim?" he said, "Oh sorry I just thought--" he shook his head, "No worries 'Mara', see I also gave you a nickname to live by."
Swinging our hands, I smiled feeling like the luckiest and happiest girl in the world right now. As we walked down the steps to the kitchen for breakfast, loud voices were heard.
"I wonder if he's done it yet."
"Probably not, I bet you $10 dollars he's gonna come down here without her--oh hey guys," Malachai said nervously as he waved. "I was just talking to Mike here about....sex," he said as a questioning look came from Mike, Jimmy and I.
Looking confused as ever, I shook my head ignoring the way Jimmy was glaring at Malachai, quickly grabbing myself something to eat before sitting at the table to join the conversation, "So about dancing, I was hoping to join a dance group anywhere" I said leaning my head onto my hand, "Do you have any recommendations?"
As he was thinking about it, it was like a light bulb switched on in his head. "Oh I know a place in Freeridge that you could check out, its name is Dynamic Fusion and lucky you, it's 3 blocks down from us, it's not that far if you think of it," he said.
"Oh okay cool so when can I go, now or tomorrow because I feel like I might get a bit impatient waiting days to be able to check out this place," I said getting anxious.
"Don't worry, if you would love to go right now then I think it's already open but it closes at 6 pm so you basically you have enough time to prepare" Mike said as Sophie came down the stairs rubbing her eyes as sleep is still evident on her face.
"Happy Valentine's Day everyone...I have no one to love sadly but anyway what are you guys talking about without me?" she asked while making hot coffee for herself. "Well we were just telling Mara here about the dance group a few blocks down from us and we're planning to go in a while, why you wanna come with us?" Jimmy asked her.
Sophie glanced up at Jimmy sleepily and blocked not once but twice at the sudden nickname he gave her. "Um do I want to know or...you know what I think I rather stay here and play some GTA V" Mike nodded his head along with her statement agreeing he would also be staying, not wanting to third wheel the weird friendship his friend and I have together.

Jimmy's P.O.V
Earlier on, we decided to go for 10 so now I'm in the process of throwing on my casual outfit, not caring how big the clothes may look since I'm going for a more 90s look without the hairdo. Putting perfume on my body as I stood in front of the mirror to see myself, breathing in and out I turned the lights off and made my way down the stairs to already see Amara stood there wearing her outfit for the day.
"Comfy wear, I like that," I said noticing her blush was visible.
"Well it's what makes me feel comfortable and soft inside," she giggled lightly heading to the front door, " you ready or what stranger?" she asked teasingly.
I scoffed playfully, "You weren't saying that this morning though...OHHH!" I yelled out as if no one was sleeping still.
Amara chuckled rolling her eyes, "Come on One Direction, let's get a move on already"
"Look just because you're in your comfort zone doesn't mean you have to bully me and call me names all the time, you have to understand I'm a sensitive man, I have a soft heart but also cold when it wanna be so be careful" I boasted playfully.
This is going to be a rather long walk that is probably gonna be about hearts and strangers and boy was she not prepared for my open-mind. So far, things have been going smoothly with Amara and her stay, as I realized this is the second month and it feels like I've known her since we were kids but no, that's the complete opposite. Staying in a house with her has been great and it has at times got me nervous to be able to talk with her alone, especially getting to know about herself a bit more.
Hearing her talk the way she does, walk the way she does, smile, laugh, honestly it gives me goosebumps all over my body. Hugging her has never felt better, as her soft form just went still and in comfort against me and I'm glad she's trusting me. I don't think I'll be letting her out of my sight anytime soon.
"I promise to you that I would try my best to make your stay the best you have ever had" I whispered to myself, low enough so that she couldn't hear me.

Guys, you know what to do already lmao Vote, Comment, Follow, Share whatever you prefer. Tell me in the comments if you're enjoying this book.
So as you probably know already, I'll be writing a fanfic soon I think and I was thinking Transformers. The reason is that it doesn't get much credit for what it is about and in my opinion, I think it's an underrated movie lmao so yeah, look out for that since I'm not sure when I'll be starting it...I have to get a plot. Thank you<3
