I rubbed my eyes as the mornings sun crept through the curtains, illuminating the dark corners of our bedroom. I rolled over to find an empty bed next to me. The bed was still warm, meaning Leo hadn't woken up to long ago.

As if on que I hear vomiting noises from the bathroom, reminding me in fact that I am extremely hungover. I wander in to the bathroom, unsurprisingly, Leo is on his knees in front of the toilet, throwing up any remaining alcohol that was in his stomach from the night prior.

He turns his head to look at me after hearing me shuffle into the bathroom. I wrap my arms around myself as my bare feet hit the cold tile of the floor.

"So I won the bet, hmmm?" I question.

He squints his eyes, looking at me in a confused manor. "The bet?"

"Yea the bet that we made last night saying whoever threw up first was the loser?"

"Oh, that." He looks from me, to the toilet, then back to me. "Yeah. I suppose you did win."

He flushes the toilet and shuffles so he's sitting against the bathroom cabinet. He drags his hand down his face and pinches the bridge of the nose. "What happened last night? I barely remember anything."

My stomach drops.

"So you don't remember...anything? Anything at all?" I ask him.

He doesn't remember telling me he likes me?

And that I like him back?

He runs his hand through his hair and looks at the wall in thought, racking is brain for any evidence of what took place last night.

I rock back and forth nervously on my feet. I'm never nervous, so why am I now? I don't have a problem slitting somebody's throat or castrating a rapist, but I'm scared of Leo not remembering last night?

I don't remember all of it, parts of it hazy but I do remember both of us admitting our feeling and then Gio rudely interrupting what could have been our first kiss.

Fucking cockblocker.

Maybe, somewhere deep down I'm grateful that he did stop it because I wouldn't have liked to have my first, proper kiss with Leonardo when I was highly intoxicated and bleeding out of my lady bits like there's no tomorrow.

I look back towards him. It's as if a lightbulb appears on his head and I swear I can see his cheeks begin to turn pink before he covers it up with his hand.

He's blushing.

He scratches the back of his head before speaking. "Uh...yeah, yeah I remember now." I shuffle awkwardly towards the edge of the bathtub and sit on it so I'm closer to him, my hands still folded as my body reacts to the chill of the bathroom.

I feel like an eight year old that has a crush on her next door neighbour.

Silence envelopes the like a blanket, neither of us knowing what to say to each other.

Some higher power must have been looking out for me in that moment because Bella's high pitched squeal echoes down the hall, breaking the tension.

"MARA, ATHENA IS EATING YOUR SHOE AGAIN!!!"

I roll my eyes, another set of shoes about to be demolished by Athena.

"I better uh go and recuse my shoes."

"Yeah, I suppose you should."

|~|~|~|~|~|

"HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE." I shriek. Both Bella and I have our hands wrapped around my shoe which rests happily in Athena's mouth. She growls protectively and tries to tug it away from us.

We might be both trained in combat, but we were never trained to wrangle a shoe out of a Doberman's mouth.

I collapse onto the floor and admit defeat, sprawling out like a starfish.

"You can give up Bella, she can have my shoe. I'll buy another pair, it's fine.

She releases it and collapses down next to me, both of our breaths coming out in short, hard pants. "Good because there's absolutely no way your shoe would be salvageable after she got her teeth on that."

We both lift our heads and watch as Athena walks away, very content that she got to keep her toy. Ares, seemingly unhappy about our lack of attention towards him waddles over and lies down on top of my stomach.

I grunt. "Ares, I love ya and all but having your fat ass sitting on me when I'm trying to recover after having a wrestling match with your sister."

Bella chuckles, she looks over at us and then back to the roof. I scratch Ares on his head as our breathing slowly recovers.

"Leo and I nearly kissed last night." I blurt.

Bella's head snaps towards mine again, her eyes wide, her jaw hanging open. "WHAT?"

"Yeah, uh. We were drunk. Correction, I was drunk and then he joined me because I challenged him to a shot competition-obviously I won. Then we somehow ended up watching a movie and then all of a sudden he went on a drunk ramble confessing his feelings or whatever, so did I. I ended up on his lap, about to kiss him and then Gio showed up."

"Gio, you fucking cockblocker." She groans.

My thoughts exactly.

"Anything happen after that?" She adds, waggling her eyebrows.

"Apart from somehow ending back up in our bed, your brother throwing his guts up, and then a very awkward, painful silence before you saved me? Then no."

"How romantic." She says.

"Tell me about it."
