Butterflies *Rosénali*

Eleven

Rosés P.O.V.

I wake up to the sunlight beaming on my face. I slightly open my eyes and see Denali still cuddled next to me from last night. I let myself smile out of pure happiness. I lean down and kiss the top of her head. "Good morning Rosie," I hear Denali sleepily say. "Good morning baby," I say to her. She leaves my body for a second to readjust so shes now directly across my face.

"I really like waking up next to you," Denali says before kissing me. "I do too, you're really cute when you sleep," I tell her. "Just when I'm sleeping? Wow, I see how it is," she says sarcastically. I roll my eyes and kiss her, placing my hand on the back of her head to deepen it. I pull away from her, "I think you're cute all the time." She smiles at me, making me smile back. I brush a piece of her hair out of her face, looking deeply into her eyes.

I lean in and kiss her, I just can't get enough. She kisses back, lingering on my lips for a while. We separate for a short amount of time and kiss again. This time, I feel Denalis tongue lick my bottom lip. I open my mouth slightly, letting her enter. Her tongue meets mine and they instantly dance. Without breaking, Denali moves to my lap, straddling my hips. I feel myself smile a little bit as I place my hands on her hips.

We stay like that for a while, just letting ourselves feel each other in the moment. Suddenly, we hear the fire alarm go off, followed by "God damnit Jackie!" coming out of Mik's mouth. Denali and I quickly separate and get out of bed. I open the door to see a lot of smoke coming from the kitchen, Jan using a towel to get the smoke away from the fire alarm, and Kandy swaying the door back and forth to get the smoke outside. I shut the door and lean up against it.

"Can we just stay in here?" I sigh. Denali giggles and puts her hands on my cheeks. "We need to help the crazies before they burn down your apartment," she says right before pecking my lips one more time. I sigh and open the door again, feeling Denali grab my other hand behind me. We take a few steps down the hallway and Jan says, "Oh, good morning. Really glad this is how we woke you up," Jan says sarcastically. "Actually we've been up for-," I start to say before Denali nudges me, making me not finish my sentence. "What happened?" I ask, grabbing an extra towel to help Jan. "Well we were all up and hungry, so we wanted to make breakfast. Everything was great until Jackie forgot about the bagels in the oven and may have started a small fire," Jan tells me.

"There- there was a fire in our apartment," I say, getting a little ticked off. "A small one! It was totally containable, but now everything is super smoky," she says, shrugging. "Babe, I'm gonna go open the windows and see how I can help," Denali tells me. "Thank you," I say, still waving the towel around. She kisses my cheek and leaves me. "Once all this fire stuff is over you have to tell me what happened last night," Jan says excitedly. I roll my eyes and chuckle at her.

Everyone continues to deal with the smoke in the apartment. Once we were done, I look at the kitchen, which just needs to be picked up. "I'm still hungry," Olivia says. "Do you guys just want to go to breakfast?" Mik asks. Everyone nods in agreement, and goes separate ways to get dressed and ready. Denali follows me into my room with her bag.

"Rosie," she says. "Nali," I say back. "Don't take this the wrong way, but can we not look at each other while we're changing? It's not that I don't want to look at you because I do," she pauses, realizing what she said. She turns bright pink and I giggle. "Stop it," she says giggling. "I just want us to wait, until a more special time," she finishes. "I get it Nali, don't worry," I say giving her a soft smile. "Why don't you change while I look for my clothes?" I ask. She nods, I turn around looking into my closet for something to wear. I pick out pair of black joggers, cropped pink hoodie to go over a white bralette.

"Okay, I'm done," I hear Denali say. I turn around and see her wearing grey leggings with a blue snowflake sweatshirt. "Do you want me to leave?" Denali asks. "No it's okay, you can just turn around I won't be that long," I tell her. She turns around and I quickly change and let her know I'm done.

"Hey Rosie?" Denali asks as I put on some socks. "Yeah?" I asks back. "Will you braid my hair? It's not cooperating today," She says, pouting at me. I laugh and say, "Of course I will." She smiles ear to ear and hops on the bed. I sit behind her, raking my hands through her blonde locks. "Can I hold your hand?" She asks adorably. "I need both of them to do your hair," I laugh at her while separating her hair.

"Can I take you on a date?" I ask her once I start to do the braid. "What do you mean?" She asks. "Like, I want to take you on a date. We haven't really been on one, it's just been us around everyone else," I tell her. "Well we have been on a date actually," she says. "Ice-skating? You considered that a date?" I ask, feeling my cheeks heat up. "I do, granted we weren't alone technically but I still got to spend time with you by myself. Plus weren't your the one who called it a date?" She laughs. "Hey! The word slipped out of my mouth and you confirmed it was a date!" I say, finishing off the end of the braid. She turns around to face me, "That is true, you were cute enough to make it a date." I start blushing. She smiles at me taking her hands in mine.

"So what were you thinking for a date?" She asks, playing with my fingers. "I don't know yet, I was hoping you'd say yes before I started planning anything," I tell her, smiling a cheesy smile at her. She rolls her eyes and starts, "You're so stupid. Yes, I'll go on a date with you Rosie," she smirks. I smile back at her and kiss her. "Would you want to go tonight?" I ask her. "I'd like that," she smiles. I kiss her one last time before getting up to finish getting ready. I brush my pink hair and pull a few pieces back to tie in the back. 

We finish getting ready and head out to the cars. Jackie and Jan go in one car; Mik, Kandy, and Olivia go in another; leaving me and Denali to go by ourselves, which I'm not complaining about. We listen to the radio along the way, singing along to songs, and holding hands. We pull into a little breakfast shop Olivia told us about. Denali and I walk in hand and hand, making Mik and Kandy make kissing noises. Denali places her hand on my other cheek before kissing my cheek, and rubbing her face in it to make everyone laugh. We fill into our seats, but before I can sit down, Jan says "I just have to run to the bathroom," and grabs my hand, pulling me with her.

She shuts the bathroom door after we get in. "Spill," she says. "We kissed," I say, feeling my face light up. "Finally!" She cheers. "Everyone was sleeping and, ugh, she just looked to beautiful not to kiss her, so I did, and it was amazing. I could kiss her all the time," I tell Jan. "That's adorable," she says smiling at me. "How did she end up in you're room?" This time she's smirking at me. I roll my eyes and say, "That's not what happened, Jan. We cleaned up and I didn't want her sleeping on the couch, so I offered to cuddle her to sleep," I laugh a little. "That's cute but also really gross," she laughs. "Okay we should probably get back before they start following us in here," I laugh. We leave the bathroom and move back to our table.

I sit down in the chair across from Denali. I instantly feel her foot run up my leg. I look up over the menu to see her raising a brow with a smirk on her face. I play back, running my foot up her leg, and then we start playing footsies again.

Breakfast goes by quick. We all eat and leave, having to go our separate ways. I give Denali a hug and a kiss on the cheek, telling her I'll see her tonight, before she gets in Jackies car. I get in my own car with Jan in the passenger seat. "I miss her already," I say. Jan starts laughing. "Jan, I need your help," I tell her. "With?" She asks. "I'm taking Denali on a date tonight and I want it to be really special," I tell her. "How special do you want it?" Jan asks. "Something nice, I want to ask her to be my girlfriend."
