Persephone- Completed

Twenty One.

"Persephone St. James. I swear to god you better be in this house. I'm going to beat your arse." I sat up to Mia's voice screaming through the house. 

"Leave her." Em pulled me back down and I chuckled. 

"I can't she's going to start breaking down doors. I'll be right back I swear." I stood up still half asleep. I had no idea what time it was if it was even still the same day or anything. He pouted as I climber out the bed and tugged his seater back down over my bare stomach. I rolled my eyes and swung open the door staring at her down the hallway.

"Will you shut the fuck up." Her mouth dropped and I laughed. She ran down to me, pulling me from the room. 

"What. The. Fuck." She whisper shouted at me. I could see her inspecting me, looking for evidence of what she thought happened. 

"Nothing happened. He woke up and I was up so we went to the beach and went swimming then I got tired and he brought me back here so I could nap without being disturbed." I widened my eyes. "But you're kind of disturbing us." 

"Are you guys-" 

"Well not if you keep screaming my full name through the house threatening to beat me up." 

"Oh shit." She covered her mouth. "Sorry." 

"I'm kidding. We were just cuddling. We haven't even kissed yet." I laughed at her and she slapped my arm. 

"We want to go down to the cliffs. Can you guys sort yourselves and come with us?"

"Give us an hour and we'll meet you there?" 

"Fine." She huffed. "They might murder me if you're not there." 

"Stop being dramatic. Head out we'll be there soon." I rolled my eyes and turned my back to her going back into his room, closing the door behind me.

"What did she want." He groaned from the bed as he sat up and reached for me. 

"There's a cliff side not too far from here and she wants us to go. The others are. I told her we'd be an hour." 

"So we're going to be alone?" 

"Completely." He pulled me to the bed and I giggled like a kid. 

"Why did you say an hour?" 

"Because I was really enjoying the cuddles." He laid back and I settled back on top of him like I had been before, my body rising and falling with each one of his deep breathes. 

"These are good." He kissed the top on my head and continued tracing patterns on my lower back under my jumper. I was so comfortable here I never wanted to move. 

"Knock Knock!" 

"What now." He sounded pissed as he shouted at the door. "Who is it?" 

"Blake." Em rolled his eyes and I chuckled and started moving off him. 

"Don't you dare move." He put his hand flat on my back and the harsh tone he was holding with Blake wasn't there when he spoke to me. "What do you want Blake." 

"Is Poppy in there?" 

"Yes." 

"What are you doing?" Even I rolled my eyes now. 

"Come in if you really want to know Blake." The door opened and I could already tell there was more than just Blake there. "Fuck sake Blake. We're not a fucking travelling circus." I slid down to Em's side, letting him wrap his arms around me. 

"We're just working out who won the bets." 

"What bets?" I looked at them and sat up. 

"On how long it would take you two to get together." Mia was stood in the corner and I threw a pillow at her. 

"YOU TOO?" 

"I'm sorry!" I jumped out of the bed and ran after her. "POPS." She laughed as she ran down the stairs. I was quicker than her and she knew it. I'd have her pinned down in seconds. She dashed into the garden and onto the grass as I caught up to her, jumping on her back and making us both tumble to the floor. 

"I'm going to kill you." We wrestled on the floor as I tried to pin her hands down. "I fucking told you everything. And you were fucking making bets? Are you kidding?" 

"I'm sorry Poppy!" I pinned her hands by her side as I sat on her stomach. "It just kind of happened. We were talking about where you were just now and I said I bet she's with you and they asked why I thought that and then I told them what you told me and-" 

"So you're just going around spreading my secrets now Amelia?" I climbed off her and stood up. Too angry to be play fighting. Now I was full on furious. "Fuck you. That's like one of the worst things. I haven't told a fucking soul about you liking Blake and you're here telling all 3 of them about how I feel about Sonny?" I started walking away. 

"Poppy, wait." She grabbed my arm and pulled. 

"No. Fuck you Mia. I'm beyond pissed at you right now." I shook her arm off me and walked back inside, heading up to my room and locking the door behind me. I ignored the boys who were now stood outside of my bedroom door, begging for me to open up, that it was just a joke and they pushed Mia to do it. I slammed my ensuite door closed and turned the shower on. I didn't care about the fucking bet. I cared that my best friend was apparently as trustworthy as my ex. The fucking cheek of her. 

"Seph?" I could just hear him over the shower and came out, standing behind the door. "Can you hear me? They've gone out. It's just us." I unlocked the door and crossed my arms as he walked in. 

"She's pissed me off." 

"I know babe." He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug that calmed me down instantly. "It was just a joke though. A stupid bet." 

"I don't care about the bet. She fucking told all 3 of them things that were supposed to be between just the two of us." I put my arms around his neck and he held me tighter on my waist, lifting my feet from my bed. "I was so happy just cuddled up with you. Couldn't they have just fucking left us alone." I sighed into his neck. 

I just wanted to enjoy this stage of us. Before going back to school and it being all drama. I just wanted to enjoy the calm. I'd never had calm before.
