I looked at Xavier from the corner of my eye. I felt my face heat up when I looked at him. He was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with a stretched collar, and baggy black pants. I looked away from him and focused on my book. It was only a few minutes then Xavier's sister busted into the house with her friends. They started yelling and being rowdy it was beyond annoying. It was impossible to focus on my book so I put it down and started watching tv with Xavier. Suddenly a football flew past my head making me fall of the couch. Cheyenne and her friends started laughing at me I wanted to run and hide. I looked up Xavier stood up and grabbed my wrist and pulled me to my feet. He grabbed my book and led me out of the living room and into what appeared to be a basement. I was looking at the ground the whole time not wanting him to look back and see my blush. Xavier handed me my book and grabbed a handheld video game. I started reading again while he played his game. After about two hours my eyelids started to feel heavy and I closed my book. I leaned back on the mound of pillows I and Xavier were using to support ourselves and fell asleep.

I was playing my game when Jackie hugged me. I blushed reader than a tomato and looked at her. I sighed seeing she was asleep she didn't know she was hugging me. Now a normal person would wake her up or move away, but I didn't wanna be normal at that moment. I put my game away and wrapped my arms around Jackie letting her cuddle into my chest. I soon fell asleep myself praying this moment didn't end.

Later

I woke up and looked Jackie was still in my arms holding onto me tight. I blushed again and moved a strand of her hair behind her ear. I noticed as Jackie started to shiver, so I got up and grabbed a fuzzy blanket covering her up. I sighed and walked to the other side of the mound of pillows and laid down. I wasn't as comfortable as when Jackie was in my arms, but I didn't wanna risk her waking up and thinking I was some pervert. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

I woke up and let my eyes adjust to the light of the room I was in. I moved slightly and realized I was wrapped in a fuzzy blanket. I sighed and wrapped it around myself tightly not wanting to move. I was about to go back to sleep when Cheyenne busted into the room banging pots together 'what is wrong with her?' I thought as I sat up still holding the blanket around me. "Cheye what the hell?" Xavier sat up and rubbed his eyes annoyed with his sister. "Y'all gotta get up we gotta go to grandma's and she's gotta go home," Cheyenne said putting her hands on her hips. I nodded and got up grabbing my book walking to the door. "Bye Jackie." I turned and shyly waved to Xavier then left. I got home and walked into the kitchen where my dad was cooking and mom was reading the newspaper. "Hey kiddo enjoy your sleepover?" My dad asked I shrugged not really in a mood to talk. My dad sighed and set some breakfast down in front of me. I ate then went up to my room and plopped down on my bed. I grabbed my frog pillow and hugged it I sighed "it's not as comfortable as cuddling with him." I whispered setting my pillow down thinking of when I woke up in Xavier's arms the night before. I was kinda shocked when I saw I was cuddling him, but I was so comfortable in his arms, and he didn't seem to mind. I sighed as I thought of it then grabbed a book and started reading.
