Daddy Issues

18| Scent

It's Wednesday.

My third day into my winter break.

You'd think I'd spend the break having fun, I've been working.

I spent last night at Maddie and Kyle's house with our whole friendship group. A lot of them are going away for the winter break so we aren't going to see each other till school starts back up.

Its 9:30am right now and my room smells like Christmas. It's supposed to smell like lavender but mom has been going everywhere with cinnamon and ginger bread scented stuff.

Phoebe and Josh come home today. Phoebe has a lecture this morning, which I think is odd because it's Christmas eve tomorrow. But I can't wait to see them.

I climb out of bed and head over to my window to open the blinds. It's raining, what a surprise.

I have a quick shower and once I get out I blow dry and straighten my hair.

I choose out some blue jeans and a sweatshirt. The sweatshirt had a beige, orange and grey horizontal strip. I do my makeup and clean my room.

That's one thing I've done. Clean my room and completely finish all my homework so I can enjoy my winter break.

Once I was ready, I head downstairs where mom was stress cleaning. I head into the kitchen and start eating granola at the island. She's stress cleaning because Phoebe and Josh are coming home which makes no sense.

After eating, I grab my keys and head straight to my Jeep calling a goodbye to my mom as I do so. I run to my Jeep in attempt to get shelter from the rain.

****
An hour of my shift left! One hour that's all.

The bell rings signalling someone had walked in. I look over to the door to see Hunter followed by a brooding Alex.

"Hey." I say smiling at them both. "Hi guapo." Hunter says and I roll my eyes. "Is that the only spanish word you know?" I ask and he rolls his eyes. "Obviously not." He jokes.

"How long till you get off?" Hunter asks and I glance to the clock. "57 minutes." I say and he smiles.

"Come to my place?" Hunter asks. "And why would I do that?" I ask glancing to Alex who's reading the coffee board as if it's the most interesting thing in the world. "Because you love me." He says before ordering some coffee

"You know my brother and his girlfriend are back in town and I'm dying to see them, right?" I ask and he rolls his eyes. "We won't keep you long." Hunter says and I roll my eyes. "Fine." I say handing him his coffee.

"Anything for you?" I ask Alex. "Nope." He says before walking out with Hunter.

I haven't spoke to Alex since Saturday. Probably because Hunter caught us spooning which is embarrassing in itself.

Once my shift was finished I grab my stuff, utter a goodbye and a Merry Christmas before getting into my Jeep.

I get to Hunter's house and knock on the front door.

"Johnny." He exclaimed and pulled me into his house. "What do you need me for?" I ask as he pushes me into the neatly decorated living room.

"Hi." I say to Alex who just nods slightly, acknowledging my presence.

"I just wanted to see you before Christmas." Hunter says and I smile. "Well aren't you cute?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.

"Hunter?" A girl calls and runs into the living room. "What?" Hunter groans looking over to the little girl.

"I'm hungry. Uh oh you have a girl over. I'm so telling." She says and I smile. "Since when did you have a younger sister?" I ask Hunter as he glares down at the younger girl. "Since eight years ago." He says angrily whilst glaring at his sister.
