Unquestionable love

Chapter 10

I tossed and turn in my sleep, well I highly count it as a sleep since my body won't let me damn sleep! I toss to my side and check the time on my alarm clock. straight 12:00am. What even!? Ugh! Maybe watching some movies will help or something, it's obviously wayyyyyyy better than just being bored, waiting for your body to just let you damn sleep! I throw my blankets off of my ungracefully and walk downstairs to the living room. I grabbed a can of nesta ice tea and throw a bag of popcorn in the microwave heating it up.

. . .

I put the cooked popcorn in a big red bowl and bring it to the couch where my fuzzy blanket, movie and soda was, waiting for me to join them. I sit on the couch, wrapping the blanket around me, having the popcorn on my lap. I press play and enjoy my time with the movie.
"Laura?" I hear.
I pivot my head around and see Ross at the top of the stairs with just his boxers on. Oh god!
"Y-Yeah?" I stutter a bit.
What? This guy has a power on me that I can't even explain!
"What are you doing up? I thought unwelcome guest are here" he admits.
I chuckle. "I know, the baseball bat was a dead give away"
He walks down joining my on the couch covering himself with the blanket as well.
"What are you watching?"
"P.S I love you"
"Sorry Laur, don't feel the same way" he jokes with a small smirk on his face.
I know it was a joke and all but I couldn't help but think if he was really serious. I just put a fake smile on.
"Mind if I join you?" he ask.
"Not at all" I smile a bit at him. He smiled back.
We put our attention to the screen, eating popcorn and sharing my can together.

. . .

I wake up to small snores. I slowly open my eyes letting them adjust to the brightness. I see that I'm looking at the blank tv screen sideways. Wait what? I feel something bony under my head. It was Ross's lap. Oh please please please please please tell me I'm not sleeping on Ross's lap! I slowly lift my head up as careful as I could. He stifled a bit, then went back to sleep. I sigh in relied. Phew! I get up and walk over to the kitchen, planning to make myself some breakfast but notice that there isn't any food but cream cheese. I pick it up and see it's expired. Great..... Well I should probably go get Ross and I some groceries, that boy can eat a lot! I quickly but quietly go upstairs to my room and change. I walk back down but see Ross asleep. He looks so cute when he sleeps. Maybe I shouldn't wake him up, I mean, we did sleep somewhere at 2:00am. Eh, I won't be gone that long. I grab my purse and keys, walking out of the house, into my car and drive to the closet grocery store.

. . .

I walk in the house just to see Ross pacing frantically back and forth. Once I shut the door, he had his full attention on me.
"Where the hell have you been!?" he yells.
"I was buying us some groceries so we can survive. Chill out a bit Ross" I tell him.
"Laura I'm your protector. You can't go anywhere else without me!"
"I only went to the store for a couple of minutes! Big deal!"
"You're treating me like I'm a little kid!"
"I'm just doing what your father is telling me to do"
"So that's all I am to you? Just some job?"
"Just don't leave without me"
"Fine! Here's your damn breakfast!" I throw the bags at him and run upstairs to my room slamming the door shut. I cannot believe him!

. . .

I was talking to Hilary. Face to face. Yeah, I snuck out of my bedroom window to get to Hilary. I'm telling her everything about Ross and I's fight and about how much of a paranoid person he's being. I mean, hello! I'm not a little kid anymore!
"Wow" she says after I finish telling her our argument.
"I know! Ugh! Can you believe him?!" I say frustratingly.
"I know you don't want to hear this right now but he so cares for you girl!" she excitedly says.
Ugh, not now!
"Please Hilary. Not now" I nicely say.
"I'm sorry but it does sound like he really cared for you"
"He's suppose to. I'm part of his 'job'" I roll my eyes.
"He probably didn't mean it Laur"
"Well whatever, it still hurt"
"You can't run away from your problems"
"Why can't I?" I say with an attitude.
"It doesn't solve anything, it's just gonna follow you and never leave you until you fix it properly"
That almost sounded..... smart.
"Woah Hil. Where did that come from" I asked, astonished.
"I read it off a fortune cookie"
Astonishment, gone. My phone rings. It's Ross. I look at Hilary.
"What are you waiting for an invitation? Answer it already!"
I press answer and put it to my ear.
"What?" I harshly say into the phone.
"Laura, where are you?" he asked.
It almost sounds like he even... cared. But I highly doubt that, you heard him, it's his job to protect me.
"Why would I bother to tell you? You're just gonna drag me home and scold me for leaving the house without you" I confirm.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that"
"Then what did you mean?"
He sighs not speaking into the phone for a bit.
"Just please come home, we need to talk"
"Ross--" he cuts me off.
"Just please come home, please" he begs.
I sigh. "I'm at Hilary's place"
"I'll be there soon"
I give him the address and cut our phone call off. I look at Hilary and she just smirks at me.
"What happened to being mad at him?" she smirks.
"Shut up Hilary, I don't need this, right now"
"You liiiiike him!" she slurs sounding all cheery.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say"
"Just by his voice your mood changes, just like that" she smirks bigger.
Oh vey!
