The Summer Warmth

Twenty-Nine

Not A Good-Morning.

Chapter29

I wake up to see my one leg on the floor and the other on something hard. I tried to squint my eyes with these sharp sun rays coming through the window which as always, I forgot to drape. I look around me to see the room practically trashed with empty wine bottles and chips packets. I notice my other leg on Ivy's face, which she is holding for her dear life. I see Charlott taking most of the space on the bed, bitch laying like a dead starfish.

Yesterday we all girls went shopping and the boys decided on going to the club. After having our typical day out, we all changed into some shots from my wardrobe and run a movie marathon, pouring our drink in the tub of ice cream. After getting all fuzzy at night, we ended up sleeping in one room.

I make my way to the bathroom when I see Chloe sleeping on the carpet peacefully. I run my hand through her fur, making her snuggle in the carpet more. I brush my teeth and wash my face to see the both of them trying to get up. I laugh at Charlott whining about leaving her while Ivy is hugging her tightly to piss her off more.

They both get off the bed to freshen up and then we together making our way from the stairs to the living room to see the boys already sitting in the living room silently.

Feeling the tension in the room, we all go silent and enter the room without a sound. Aiden is the first one to notice us, when he waves his hand in our direction, and then Chloe barking abruptly, running towards Jade and sitting in front of him with her tongue out.

With that, everybody gets known of our presence, and out of all of them, Jade looks the stiffest. I see Ivy taking her place on the binbag settled in the free space of the circle, while Charlott leaning towards the recliner where Lucas is sitting. I

 make my way towards Jade, who has his eyes closed and his head in his hand. I go and sit beside him. Noticing the dip of the sofa he looks up to see me and instantly puts his head on my shoulder seeking comfort. I let him do it without any comment and seeing that he snuggles his head more if possible, giving me a ticklish feeling. Aiden clears his throat, looking up at us,

"As you can see it's not a good morning." Aiden said his gaze ending on me. I nod my head with a small smile,

"Figured." I spoke

"What happened though?" Charlott asked now sitting on Lucas's lap, her legs dangling from one side, while Lucas holding her safely though having the same pissed look as others. If the situation would have been different, I bet I would have killed Charlott with comments.

Aiden signal us toward the card which was settled on the table, and before we could read it, Lucas's voice boomed out,

"There is a ball tonight and one of us has to be present at all cost." He said and all us girls look at him in confusion.
