Vexed ➳ j.g (DISCONTINUED)

9:00 am

I slowly open my eyes and look around the room. The tv is black, but still on, the two Sprite cans are still on the coffee table, and Jack is sound asleep. His hand in still latched on to my lower leg and he's sitting up with his mouth slightly open, while his head is leaning to the side a little bit.

I sit up and scoot closer to him, keeping my legs across his lap still.

"Jack," I poke his cheek "Jack," I poke it again and he doesn't budge "Jack." I pull his hair, but not too much.

"What?" He says in a husky voice and shifts around.

"Wake up, it's 9:00."

"That's too early, Marina." His eyes open slightly and he glares at me.

"Whatever, I was gonna get some cereal and I didn't want to go alone."

"Fine." He groans and let's go of my leg, lightly pushing them to the ground as he stands up. I follow his actions and walk into the kitchen. "I'll get the cereal." He comments.

"I'll get the bowls and milk." Deja Vu. We repeat everything we did last night and end up sitting in the exact same spots, chewing on our food and enjoying the silence.

Everyone else is still asleep i'm guessing, because I don't hear any movement coming from upstairs yet.

"Why didn't you sleep in your room with your boyfriend?" Jack snaps me out of my thoughts and I shift my gaze to his.

"I was going to, but then I fell asleep during the movie." I shrug.

"Oh, he's probably not gonna be happy with you." Jack jokes and I playfully roll my eyes.

"He can cry me a river, I was comfortable and didn't want to get up."

There's a few thuds coming from the stairs, causing Jack to turn around, then turn back to me. "Speak of the devil." His eye brows raise and drop a second later.

"Morning, babe." Hunter walks in rubbing his eye, wearing the clothes he wore yesterday.

"Morning. Are you hungry?"

"Nah." He trudged over to me and wraps his arm around my torso while he rests his head on my shoulder.

"Are you still tired?" I chuckle and he nods.

Jack finishes his cereal and puts his bowl in the sink, exiting the kitchen without a word.

"How come you didn't sleep in your room with me?"

"Sorry, Jack and I watched TV and fell asleep on the couch."

"Jack?" He leans back to look at me and his eye brows are scrunched together.

"Gilinsky? The one who was just in here."

"You fell asleep with him and not me?"

"We watched TV, and fell asleep on the couch." I repeat.

"What the hell, Mar? You could've just came upstairs when you got tired."

"Why are you getting all worked up about this, Hunter? It's not like we made out, Jesus." I get out of his grip and hop off the counter, rinsing out my bowl and placing it next to Jack's.

"How would you feel if I fell asleep with another girl?" He asks as he follows me into the living room.

"Depends on where it was."

"You're just saying that to save your own ass, and Jack's." He snaps as we walk into the living room.

"No, I'm being honest. If that was you that fell asleep on the couch with a girl, I wouldn't care. If you were cuddling, yes I would be mad, but we weren't." I gather up the Sprite cans and bring them back to the kitchen, washing them out and throwing them into the bag under the sink. (a/n where I live, everyone puts their cans into a bag and then every Friday, leaves them outside for people in need of money to go exchange them).
