Inferno Part 2

~105~ Two Grouches, Plus Katie

Ellie's POV

"Ellie Jane, if you don't stop wiggling right now, I'm going to spank you. I can't get to sleep" Taylor says, pulling me close to him and resting his cheek on my shoulder blade.

I chuckle. "I can't help it. I'm just so excited."

In the morning, Mason and Sasha are moving!!

"Well I am too, but I'm not excited at the thought of waking up at 5:30 am after having no sleep."

I turn over so I'm facing him.

"Why are we waking up so early?" I ask.

"Don't EVEN start. You're the one who wanted to get a head start so we could get it all done in one day" he grumbles with his eyes still closed.

"Why are you so grouchy, mister?"

He finally opens his eyes and glares at me. "Because it's 2 in the morning and my wife won't stop wiggling."

I turn around and try to go back to sleep. It hurt my feelings that he's being so grouchy. I'm not intentionally keeping him awake.

After another minute he sighs. "I hurt your feelings, didn't I?"

"Little"

He brings me into him again and kisses my neck. "I'm sorry. If you wanna wiggle, then wiggle."

I say nothing as I do my best to fall asleep. He silently starts rubbing my back. The tickling sensation it's creating is calming me and relaxing my muscles. Before I realize, I fall into oblivion, and am awakened by the screeching sound of the alarm clock.

My eyes are heavy and gritty.

"Oh man I'm regretting the decision to get started by 6:30" I whine.

"And I'm regretting the decision to agree to the insanity" Taylor grumbles, getting out of bed.

He jumps in the shower and I lay in bed for a few more minutes. Before I realize it, Taylor is standing over me in a towel.

"You're kidding" he spits.

"What?"

"You seriously fell back to sleep?" He snaps.

I glare at him. "I didn't mean to."

"Ellie, the next time you decide to do this, you are sleeping in the guest bedroom. I got no sleep, and now you want to be the one to keep sleeping?" He says, throwing the towel on the bed and walking over to get on some underwear.

"You're seriously being an ass" I snap as I go and take my shower.

When I get out and get ready, he's already downstairs.

Alex, Wes, and Liam get here around 6:30. Luke and Shay come down the stairs when I do.

"This is bullshit" Luke grumbles as he gets a soda out of the fridge. Shay just looks at him, but says nothing.

"Yes it is. Blame your mother." Taylor snaps.

"Woah, what's with you?" Wes asks, surprised with Taylor's tone.

"She pissed me off. She kept me up all night."

"Well, knock it off. Sasha and Mason are stoked, and you're not ruining this for them." Wes says sternly.

I shoot Wes a smile. Most people are intimidated by Taylor. Wes isn't. He has no problem putting Taylor in his place. He doesn't do it a lot, but he does when he feels he needs to.

Taylor just looks at him and rolls his eyes.

"I mean it. Get some coffee and chill the hell out. You've got ten minutes to be your normal self before I kick your ass"
