The Orphan

Chapter Thirty-One.

Autumn-

It was almost dinner when I finally got my ass up and out of bed.

Call me a slob!

"Autumn!" almost everyone shouted and giggled as I strolled into the kitchen.

I raised an emotionless eyebrow, "can I help you?"

Their happy cheerful gestures dropped and were depressingly replaced with dull sighs.

"When will you be done mopping?" Kira asked putting a hand on my shoulder.

"C'mon Leave her alone guys." Chase ordered as he set out the stack of plates and a bunch of knives and forks.

I would be screwed without his help, Chase should've been the one asked to run this place, not me.

I sighed deeply without any emotion to the sigh but a deep exhale.

In other news it had been around about thirty hours since Ryder and I had our fight and we hadn't talked nor seen each other since, have we broken up?

There was a knock at the door.

I turned around and shuffled my feet towards the door without even bothering to announce I was coming nor going to open the door.

I weakly turned the handle and pulled it towards me.

I stayed emotionless as I revealed Ryder behind the door.

Even though I was mentally screaming inside my head, whether that screaming was of anger, shock, or relief I can not yet tell.

"What do you want?" I asked In monotone.

He held out a bunch of dark blue roses obviously dyed but non the less memorizing and romantic.

I couldn't help my lips from separating from their previous closed position.

I hesitantly took the roses after a minute of gawping at them.

Sighing I kicked myself for already knowing I couldn't help but forgive him, instead of sticking to the usual teen guys ego he was out dying roses to make up for his mess up!

Seriously?!

I might be weak and a complete caver but he was just too good and to be completely honest, our fight was stupid! so he lost it for a second! nothing to break up over!

"Can I come in?" he asked his eyes filled with the hope that maybe everything could go right and we could forget about our fight.

I think I may have that hope in my eyes too. vaguely.

"I know I shouldn't have opened my big mouth, there is not a single problem wrong with you, Autumn you are nothing but perfect, and if you can forgive me I assure you I'll never do it again, this big mouth will forever remain closed."

I smiled up at him wickedly, "well I hope that's not completely true."

He looked confused but all that confusion came to realization as my lips pressed to his, soon enough our make up kiss turned into a full make out session as our sweet kisses became a desperate battle for dominance.

There was a swoon of 'awes' behind us.

We practically jumped away from each other in fright.

Everyone was staring in our direction with hands covering the innocent eyes of Sam and Levi.

"So you two have made up now?" Chloe asked to be sure.

"Yeah we could go out for pizza if you two want to make it official up stairs." Tom offered with his smirk.
