The Rise Of Us

Chapter 75: Chill Day

Ryder and Amberlee both lay asleep on the bed, Amberlee being laid besides him with her arms around him and their legs entangled together, her head being rested on his chest.

He slowly opens his eyes when he hears a phone ring and vibrate against the nightstand, him looking over at the nightstand on his side of the bed. He goes to pick it up, seeing that it is Amberlee's phone, him answering it without looking at the caller ID. "Yeah." He says in a gruff tone.

"Damn boy you need some water?" Lucas questions.

Ryder closes his eyes with a simple hum. "Just woke up."

"At almost noon?"

Ryder looks over at the clock, seeing that it is fifteen minutes til noon. "Guess so."

Lucas shakes his head. "What has you both sleeping in so late?"

"Vacation things." Ryder responds simply.

"Mhm. Where's Amberlee?"

"Am." Ryder shakes her lightly, her only pouting with a light whine while hugging him tighter, her eyes closed. "Sleep. Want proof of life?"

Lucas chuckles. "I believe you. Normally she just calls so I assumed she slept in."

"I'll let her know you called."

"Alright Parker."

Ryder hangs up the phone, him putting it back on the nightstand. She snuggles closer to Ryder, her letting out a content sigh while she still sleeps. Ryder looks down at her, seeing her long lashes and her smooth light bronzed skin, her red hair spiraled down her back and her soft lips closed, her face peaceful like as she sleeps. He smiles a little, kissing her forehead a little before rubbing her back a little, him closing his eyes after a minute.

"UGGHH." He groans when the phone rings once again, him picking up the phone and answering it. "Yeah. Again."

"Hey Ryder." Amir greets, Stephanie laying asleep on top of him. "You sound tired like me so I was just thinking we use today as a chill day. Eat drink and sleep in our rooms?"

"Yeah that sounds good bro." Ryder rubs his face a little.

"Alright cool, see you later."

"Ight." Ryder responds before hanging up the phone, putting it back on the nightstand. He looks back down at Amberlee, still seeing her fast asleep. "Am." He says while lightly shaking her, her whining more while hugging him tighter. "Why you poutin girl?"

"Noooo." She whines. "You're so warm."

Ryder rolls his eyes. "You hungry?"

"Mhm."

"You want breakfast or lunch it's bout to be noon."

"Breakfast."

"Usual?"

"Mhm."

"Ight." Ryder says before he tries to make his way out of the bed.

"Nooooo." Amberlee pouts, holding onto him tighter. "No don't leave you're so warm."

"Am I gotta get the breakfast."

"Noooooo."

"Am—"

"You can order room service." She tells him. "They bring the food up here."

Ryder gives a look of confusion. "Fo real?"

"Mhm." She nods, her eyes still being closed. "Cuddle me."

Ryder shakes his head, him making his way back in the bed and wrapping his arm around her, her snuggling back closer to him. "How do I get this room service?"
