Everything has changed

"Wake up," said a voice. I let out a groan and cuddled up against my pillow. I froze mid-cuddle. This was not my pillow. There was a body next to me. More specifically, a naked body. "Don't freak out," said the voice. My back stiffened at the familiarity of the voice. I was in deep doo-doo. What did I do?! I was a total and complete jerk. "You're freaking out, aren't you?" I squeezed my eyes shut and then opened up. I found myself looking into a pair of amused bright green eyes. This close, I could see some golden flecks in his eyes. And his eyes just seemed brighter with those thick lashes surrounding them. Oh poo. I quickly squeezed my eyes shut again. This is not happening. "Will you open your eyes?" I shook my head. I felt and arm snake around my bare waist. I froze and tried to ignore the electric pulse that ran through me. Then the arm pulled me up against him. No space between us. Just skin on skin. "Did you forget I was staying the night?"

"Something like that," I mumbled out. He chuckled. I opened my eyes and glared at him. He was smiling. The jerk was smiling! I rolled my eyes and tried to shove away from him but wound up with my hands stuck between be and him. I narrowed my eyes.

"Good morning," he said. I raised a brow.

"Mornig," I said. He was obviously not going to let go anytime soon. And as much as I hated to admit it. I liked being held in his arms. I sighed and relaxed into him. This was why I'd let him spend the night. I wanted to know how it'd be to wake up with him right next to me.

"Did you seriously forget I was here?" He asked. I managed to pull a hand out from between us. I placed my hand on his chest an slowly made my way to his collarbone. I ran a finger over the small white scar on his collar bone. He'd had a freak accident in a go-cart when he was a kid.

"Kind of," I replied. I was looking at the scar avoiding eye contact. With his free hand he pushed my hair away from my face an places a strand behind my ear.

"I could barely sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about it," he said. I looked up into his intoxicating green eyes.

"I thought it was a dream. I didn't believe I actually had had the guts to ask you," I replied. He smiled and pulled me closer, somehow.

"I'm glad you did." I couldn't help but smile. Then I trenches my neck and kissed him right below his lower lip. It was as far as I could reach with the hold he had on me. Suddenly his lips claimed mine and the sweet kissed turned passionate very fast.

I ran ran a hand through my hair trying to contain the mess. I failed. I glanced over my shoulder and found no one in the hallway. Good. I walked up to my front door and pulled it open. "Juniper!" Yelled Allie my very best friend. I smiled as we hugged.

"Let me see it," I said with a big smile. Allie grinned and showed me her engagement ring.

"It's perfect isn't it?" Allie said excitedly.

"It is," I replied as I hugged her again. Pushing away that small jealousy that I felt. I was happy with my life. "What did your mom say?" I asked.

"When was the date. I swear. She didn't even say congratulations or anything. She just asked." I smiled. Nancy would go straight to the point.

"And when is it?" Because if there's anything Nancy is more than straightforward is that she's very VERY persistent. Allie smiled.

"It's going to be a June wedding."

"In 2 months!" Holly Molly!

"No! As in next year."

"Oh. Right." Allie smiled and pulled me to her.

"Juniper, will you be my maid of honor?'

Yes!" I said excitedly. We hugged again and then we made out way over into the kitchen.

"So," Allie said with a grin.

"So?" I asked feeling confused and a little scared.

"So who's the mystery guy?" Allie asked. I froze.

"Huh?" I asked playing dumb. Allie rolled her eyes.

"I've known you all my life Juniper. Who is he?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh yeah? Well then why do you have a hickey right here," she poked the spot where my neck and collarbone meet. He would leave a hickey there.

"Curling iron incident."

"Oh yeah? Was the look you we're going for sex hair?" I frowned and ran a hand trough my hair.

"And I repeat. Who's the guy Juniper?" I glanced to the corner of my eye. I could see his jacket thrown near the couch. I looked at Allie who was eyeing me.

"No one you know," I said with a shrug. Allie's eyes grew big.

"Oh my gosh. I know him!"

"I said no one you know."

"Exactly!"

"You're delusional."

"Oh, am I?" I raised a brow. Allie rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to say something when I soft sound made her stop. I looked at her wide eyed and she looked at me. Then she looked up. There was silence an then a small clear squeak sound was heard followed by the sound of footsteps. I looked at Allie and before I knew it, she had ran past me and to the stairs.

"He's here!" She said excitedly.

"Allie!" I yelled nervously as I ran after he. We were in deep shit now.
