Chapter 5 Nope & Nausea

"Reyna!" *groan*

"Rey!" *moan*

"Reyna.." *grunt*

"If you don't get up in two seconds I'm kissing you." Parker warns.

"Mmm.. All the more reason to stay sleeping." I groggily mumble through my haze of tiredness.

"Reyna... I'm serious."

"As am I."

"Get up."

"Nope."

"Up."

"Up." I repeat.

"Now."

"Now." I mimic.

"Rey.. I'm ugly."

"I'm ugly." I sit up fast. "Hey!"

"Well look who's awake." I hear a female voice coming from the kitchen.

Mrs. Hayes stands in the living room doorway mixing pancakes.

I smile at her and feel a sudden burst of nausea.

I dart down the hall and puke in the toilet. In a second, Parker is there holding my hair back.

I'm pretty sure I have nothing left in me when I finish.

***

After brushing my teeth and hair, I sit down to eat breakfast.

I begin shoveling pancakes into my mouth. God, I love pancakes.

I catch Parker's eyes on me and can't help but look over. He giggles a little.

"What is it? Do I really look that bad?"

"No. You just got a lil' something there." Parker says pointing to my dimple.

I wipe my left cheek.

"Did I get it?"

He chuckles and looks down, shaking his head.

Causing me to jump, he jolts forward and licks my cheek.

"I got it." Parker says proudly. "By the way, you taste amazing."

I blush mega-hard.

"We have to get going if you want to make first bell." Parker whispers to me.

"Nope." is my only response.

"What's that honey?" Mrs. Hayes perks up.

"She doesn't want to go to school because she's lazy." Park says rolling his eyes.

"Oh, you don't have to go." Parker's mom responds cooly.

"What?" I ask surprised. Parker's eyes widened as well.

"You two love birds can stay home if you want to." Parker blushes over his mom's comment.

"Okay. I'm going to work and you guys are staying home. Got it?" Mrs. Hayes orders.

Parker and I nod 'yes.'
