More Than Friends // Sequel of Friends with Benefits.

Chapter Nine: I'm not Afraid to Kick you in the Balls

I woke up to a bright sun coming in through the shades. I was about to get up but realized that an arm was draped across my waste. I turned and saw sleeping Tate laying next to me. I couldn't help but smile at him. Then realized I had the biggest hang over ever. If you couldn't tell I don't go to many parties and when I do I don't really drink that much so I'm not used to this whole hang over thing. Tate on the other hand is way used to it and me blowing in his face isn't really helping him. I blew in his face making him let out a grunt, and scrunching his face.

"I'm not afraid to hit you in the arm." he said, still keeping his eyes closed.

''I'm not afraid kick you in the balls." I retaliated, by blowing in his face one more time and giggling.

"What time is it?" he asked. I turned towards the clock to see that it was noon.

"It's noon." I said.

"It's too early.'' he complained.

''Oh stop being such a baby'' I said. I was about to get up form the bed but then Tate grabbed me from the waste and pulled me back.

"Don't leave yet." he said nuzzling into my neck.

"My parents are probably wondering where the fuck I am." I stated.

"Then call them and tell them you are with your dear friend Tate." he said mumbled.

"Is the only reason you want me to stay is to make you breakfast?'' I asked.

"Of course not! I am even offended that you thought that." he said

''So you wouldn't mind if I didn't make my famous French toast?'' I said.

"Okay I might want some breakfast but that's not the only reason I want you say." he explained.

"Then what's the other reason?" I asked.

"I also want cuddles." he said with an innocent look on his face. I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Fine but just for a little while longer." I said.

"Yay! Let's go make French toast!" he hopped up and ran into the kitchen. I followed behind him slowly. By the time I got there he had already gotten out the ingredients.

''Wow you're really excited for my French toast'' I laughed at his excitement. he nodded. I just started making them as he sat and watched me. Half way through I heard a door open and little feet run down the hallway.

"Tate catch you sister!" I heard Calum yell.

"Gotcha!" Tate said, picking the little girl up. Calum came in with a tired look on his face. Tate had his sister over his shoulder.

"Every time. She refuses to take a bath." Calum said.

"I don't want to daddy! Tate said if I get clean the dirt monster will get me!" she exclaimed.

"Dammit Claire I told you not to tell anyone." Tate said.

"There is no monster coming to get you. Your brother is just making a joke. Right Tate?" Calum crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Yeah I was just messing with you Claire there is no one coming to get you." Tate explained.

"Now come dear and lets get you cleaned up." Calum said taking Claire from Tate's arms. I hit Tate in the back of head.

''What was that for!" he said.

''For telling your little sister that there's a monster coming to get to get her!" I said.

"I'm sorry." Tate said with a pouty face. I just went on making breakfast. When I was finally done Tate had eaten almost every peace.

"You're going to get sick." I stated.

"Too bad." he said burping one more time.

"Well now that your dear breakfast is done I have to head home." I said, standing up from the table.

"No don't go!" before I could protest he grabbed me by the wrist and I was pulled onto his lap to face him. I just there for a moment looking into his eyes. I was tempted to kiss him but then again someone could walk in a any second. With that I looked to my left and in the doorway was little Claire looking at the two of us. With that I stood up.

"Mum!" she called out. With that Tate went chasing after her.

"Claire don't!" Tate said. Finally he had caught up with her. Tate covered her mouth as Shannon stood there giving them an odd look.

''Good morning mum." Tate said with an innocent smile on his face as he held his little sister.

"Tate why do you have your sister like that?'' she asked.

"Oh we are playing the quiet game and I don't want her to loose." he said as an excuse. With that Claire bit Tate. He cursed some profanities under his breath he took his hand off her mouth.

''Mummy, Tate and Charlie were gonna kiss!" she exclaimed. That was it. right then and there I felt my whole world crumbled around me. I didn't want anyone to know that me and Tate had feelings for each other cause once one person knows everyone does.

"Claire stop making up stories." Tate said.

"I'm not. I saw it!" she said.

"Saw what exactly?'' Tate's mum said.

"Charlie was sitting on Tate's lap and I know they were gonna kiss!" she said.

"Oh sweet heart Tate and Charlie are close but not that close. I think your imagination is getting the better of you." Shannon explained to Claire.

"I know what I saw." Claire said

"Why don't we go play." Shannon said. Tapping Claire's back as she runs to play, completely forgetting about the events that had just happened. But Shannon still stood there with a somewhat smirk on her face.

"So was Claire seeing what she said she saw?" she asked both of us.

"What? No definitely not." Tate said. When it came to lying Tate was way better at it then I was. When I tried to lie my voice would get really high and lets just say I'm not really good under pressure. I get it from my mum.

"Okay I'll take your word on it." she said walking out of the room not really believing what Tate had told her.

"Um well I should go." I said.

''Okay fine I guess I can set you free now.'' Tate said.

"I'll talk to you later." I said. I when I got home I could already tell that my parents were sitting in the kitchen.

''Hey I'm back." I said.

''Where were you all night." my dad had his angry face on.

This is not going to end well for me.
