Mmm I'm so comfortable right now. I take a deep breath and notice my chest isn't heavy. I open my eyes, adjusting to the light, and see I'm still in Laura's room.
Where's Laura?
I turn to my left, and see my twin snuggled up under the covers. In the middle of us is a piece of paper.
"Dear Luca,
I went downstairs if I'm not here when you wake up.
- twinny"
That's so cute. Thankfully I'm still too groggy to freak out. I get out of bed and see it's almost 9:30 am.
Wow, I slept a lot last night
I go into Laura's bathroom, trying to be as quiet as possible. I do my business and as I'm washing my hands I notice how puffy my eyes are.
Damn, I look like shit.
I walk back into Laura's room and lay in the middle of the bed facing my twin. I take my right hand and lazily comb back the hair on her face.
She leans into my touch and starts mumbling. "Good morning baby sister." I whisper to her
She groans and opens her eyes. A soft smile makes its was onto her face when she says "Hi twinny."
Yay she called me twinny
Hopefully she's in a cuddly mood today. I miss her cuddles.
"How are you feeling?" I ask her. Laura crawls over to me and sets her self on me chest. I let out a small laugh as she snuggles into my neck.
"Better than yesterday. Still not fantastic." She mumbles
I take my left hand and rub up and down her upper back. "I'm sorry twinny. Did you take your medicine?" I question
She nods her head saying "Next time I need to take it is around 9:30."
"Well it's almost 9:30" I tell her
She abruptly gets off me, sitting cris-cross on the bed. "Is it actually?" She asks with shock written across her face
I sit up and lean against the pillows. "Yeah. Why? What's wrong?" I reply feeling a little anxious
She shakes her head saying "Nothing. I just came up here an hour ago and didn't think I would fall asleep again. Matteo said he's going to come get us for breakfast, I guess around this time."
I nod my head. "Listen Laura about last night, we don't need to talk about it until you're ready. I think the conversation took a turn and it got to be too much for you. You don't need to worry about that." I tell her truthfully
She visibly relaxes and places herself back on my chest. "Thank you. I'm not ready to talk about it. My brain can't handle any serious conversation right now." She whispers
