Cabin of Dreams

chapter 5

Day 2: Tuesday

---

„Hey, you're here! Oh...", Maggie lowered her voice upon noticing Owen in their room as well. At first, she had just seen that the light was on. "He fell asleep?", she smiled at her best friend, who was still cuddling with the redhead before she sat up and nodded.

"How was it with Andrew?", Amelia wondered excitedly. "Did you tell him that you like him?", she whispered curiously, still sharing the blanket with the sleeping Owen. Her face lit up once the brunette nodded a little. "And what did he say?"

"That he likes me back.", her best friend grinned. "I actually came in here to ask if it's fine with you if I spent the night in his room with him. We wanna start watching another TV-show together. But now that I have found you two like this, I guess there's no other option anyway.", she chuckled.

"He didn't mean to fall asleep here, it just happened.", her counterpart quietly defended her crush, but Maggie waved it off. "So, it's okay?", she wanted to have it confirmed again. Her friend nodded. "Thank you, have fun with Andrew then. But not too much fun.", she teased and winked at her.

"I'd wish you the same with Owen, but the way it looks, there's not going to be much action between the two of you tonight.", Maggie joked, grabbed her stuff, and left the room, leaving the lovebirds alone again.

Since the redhead was asleep, Amelia grabbed her phone and glanced at the few messages she had been sent. Weirdly, Alex had texted her about half an hour ago. He never started conversations with her outside the group chat.

Alex: Hey.

Alex: Didn't mean to make fun of you earlier. I didn't know that you truly don't like horror movies. Didn't wanna be an ass.

Amelia: It's fine, you couldn't have known.

Alex: Yeah, but I still should have been more sensitive. Derek told us about your trauma.

Amelia: Thanks for apologizing.

Alex: Next time I'll do better, promise.

Amelia: Thank you, Alex. :)

"Hey...", Owen slowly woke up and opened his tired eyes. "Did I fall asleep?", he questioned, his voice thick with sleep as he turned to his crush, who was sitting next to him with her phone.

"Yep.", the brunette answered and smiled at him. "We've had a long day. You should go back to sleep.", she softly suggested, putting her phone away and gently taking his hand with hers.

"Usually, I don't fall asleep that fast. Must have been the amazing company.", the teenager flirted and smirked at her. "I'll leave now, so you and Maggie can go to bed as well.", he announced.

"No, Maggie wants to be with Andrew tonight. So, if you wanna stay...otherwise, you'd have to sleep on the couch downstairs.", Amelia explained, hoping for her crush to spend the night in her room with her.

"Well, in that case...", the redhead started, tilting his head as he seducingly looked at her. "I'll stay of course.", he smiled, waiting for her to signal him what she wanted to do.

"We cannot do it in Maggie's bed.", his crush reminded him. "She has to move into Andrew's room permanently, otherwise I can't have sex with you in this bed. So, let's just snuggle and maybe make out a little.", she made another suggestion, biting her lower lip.

"You mean, like that?", Owen asked, cupping her left cheek with his right hand as he kissed her passionately. Amelia kissed him back with just as much passion, when suddenly somebody knocked on the door and opened it the next second.

"Oh, sorry!", Derek quickly apologized, glancing at the floor in the process. "I uh...I just wanted to check on you after what happened before... Didn't know you two were still in here together...", he uncomfortably explained.

"Yeah, well...now you know.", Amelia responded ironically. "I'm fine, Derek.", she reassured her brother, grateful for his worry. "We've just relaxed earlier.", she shared and shrugged. "We'd like to keep relaxing now if you could let us.", she gave him a hint to leave them alone.

"Sure, uh good night!", the Shepherd wished and weirdly raised his hand as a gesture before he closed the door behind himself, causing the two teenagers to look at each other.

"He's so dorky...always protecting me whenever he can.", the brunette addressed Owen, not in the mood for a wild make-out-session anymore, so she just cuddled into him again.

"He's a good brother.", the redhead agreed, gently kissing her head. "He always worries about you.", he added. "But you know I am the same way when it comes to Megan. I mean, you met her after our first time together."

"Yeah, when we were too dumb to hide from your family and I accidentally met them.", Amelia remembered and laughed, finding the memory rather funny now even though she had been so embarrassed back then.
