Off Limits - Josh Dunkley

Fifty Three

The next morning I wake up with Josh's arms wrapped around me and I smile, turning over and admiring him as he sleeps. 

I can't help myself put place a kiss on his cheek, which wakes him up but he doesn't complain, instead he pulls me onto his chest and holds me in a tight hug. 

"Sorry I woke you... just couldn't resist myself." 

"It's fine bubs. I know I'm too hot to handle." He says with a smile, which makes me smile, but roll my eyes. 

"So up yourself." I say more to myself than to anyone 

"You love it." 

"You know I do." I say rolling my eyes which makes him smirk. 

"Alright, enough smirking for today." 

"Fine." He says and I smile, looking into his ocean blue eyes. God they're gorgeous. I could get lost in them if I look at them all day. 

I lean in and place a kiss on his lips which causes him to smile. He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him and the he sighs. 

"As much as I want to stay, I should probably head downstairs." 

"Yeah, we don't know if Em and Marcus are home though." 

"True. But we don't want to risk it do we?" 

"No... we don't." I say sighing and he smiles. He quickly places a kiss on my lips before getting up and walking out of my room, leaving me by myself. 

I wish I could just let everyone know how I feel about Josh. But it's so hard having to lie to everyone when it's only been a few days since I admitted my feelings to Josh, and he admitted that he has feelings for me too. But I know we need to keep it a secret until we can find a way to tell Marcus... or we get caught, which so far we haven't and I'd like it to stay that way. 

I decide to get up and head downstairs. As I'm walking down the stairs I can smell the fresh smell of pancakes and I smile when I see Josh at the stove, cooking up a storm. 

I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist. 

"Awww you're too kind, making me my favourite." I say and he chuckles. 

"Only for you bubs." He says leaning in and placing a kiss on my lips and I smile, leaning in to get more kisses because I can never get enough. Our lips are together when we hear the front door open, and I tear away from Josh leaning against the bench to act like we're just talking. He looks at me and nods his head and I know that we have to act normal. 

Josh and I start talking about the pancakes and the ingredients he put in them to make it seem like we were having a normal conversation when Marcus and Em walk in. 

"Hey guys." Marcus says and we both turn to look at him. 

"Morning, decided to join us just in time for breakfast... that's starting to be a current trend." I say and Marcus laughs. 

"Well, we always know that Josh will be cooking, so we come home." 

"Wow, thanks for using me." Josh says which makes us laugh.
