Within The Shadows.✅ (WLW)

13 | Eggs

Fuck my head hurts.

The first thing I feel when I wake up is a pounding headache.

Standing up, I trip over my duvet. And fall on my face.

"Fuckkkk!" I shout. And Ava storms through my bedroom door.

When she sees me on the floor she laughs. "Are you okay?" She asked between laughs. I just glare at her.

"Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Ava smiles while resting against the door frame.

"I have a fucking hangover and I just fell on my face, so sorry if I'm a bit cranky," I say walking past her to the kitchen. Seeing there are already 2 cups of hot chocolate on the counter.

Taking a sip, I couldn't suppress the moan. God hot Chocolate is like heaven. Whoever decides to event this, may they stay forever young.

"I can see you still need your hot chocolate in the morning. I mean you have 4 bottles on the shelves." I just nod at her and drink my godly liquid.

"Okay so...now that I have my hot Chocolate, what did I do last night," I ask her nervously. Because I and drunk usually don't make a good combination.

"Ohh...umm nothing much. You know you just declared your undying love for me." She says we're serious. I just stare at her wide eyes.

"Oh my god, WHAT?!" No no no this can't be happening. I knew I should have drunk last night but nooooo.

And then Ava burst out laughing like she heard the best joke of the year. "I'm joking, you should have seen your face." Relief flushed over me. And I can feel my cheeks heat up.

"It's not funny, you almost gave a heart attack for God's sake." I threw a teaspoon at her; I took it from the counter.

"Oh, you are going to pay for that." She says to me with an evil glint in her eyes. "Shit." And with that, I start running.

Now imagine two girls running around, in a small one-bedroom apartment. Yeah, not so great idea. Eventually, Ava tackles me to the ground, and we are just laughing. When our laughter dies down, we just stare at each other.

Then everything from last night hits me like a brick wall. The way I touched her face, and that we almost kissed. I feel frozen.

Clearing my throat. "I...we should finish up," I say standing up. But she just rolls over on her back.

I quickly walk to my room, shutting my door behind me. Standing with my back against it. See that is why I invited Anna. Ava and I...alone. Not a good combination at all. Why? Because shit like me trying to kiss her happens.

I promised myself I would never cheat on anyone. Yet I almost did it last night.

Well at least you didn't, and she doesn't know you remembered. Just act normal.

How do I act normal, she was sober. Well, I think she was.

With that, I walk to my bathroom cabinet for an Aspirin. God, why does alcohol always have to make life difficult?

After a quick shower, I get dressed, when I walk out of my room, I can smell something not very nice coming from the kitchen.

Walking into the kitchen. I can see smoke and smell burnt something. "Oh my God Ava what are you doing? You know you can't cook." I say turning off the stowe.

"Hay, I tried okay." She says with an apologetic smile.

"Why don't you go take a shower, you reek. I will clean up here and then we can go out for breakfast okay."

With that, she heads off to the shower. How on earth do you burn eggs? I thought. Cleaning the stove and counter.

While Ava was in the shower Anna called me. "YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!" she screams in my ear; I have to move the phone away from my ear.

"I almost kissed Ava last night," I whisper to her, afraid that Ava would hear me. "Oh no I heard you. BUT WHY?"

"What do you mean why? And would you stop screaming in my ear?" Before Anna could answer me, Ava walked into the kitchen. "Look Ava and I are going out for breakfast at Kate's, want to join?" After saying goodbye to Anna, we head outside. Deciding it's a nice day I head to the garage where my motorbike is put away.

"Ohh hell no. I'm not getting with you on that death machine." Ava states, look at me and the back at the bike with wide eyes.

"Well, you don't know where to go, and you wouldn't be able to keep up, so you don't have a choice," I say to her smirking.
