Sunday Morning:

-Ruth-

I opened my bleary eyes, staring up at Austin's face, shocked for a moment. Looking down, I blushed when I saw one of his legs draped over me.

But my mind was too tired to push him off. Sleepily, I buried my face in the crook of his neck and fell asleep again.

----------------------------

"Princess." A soft voice said and I stirred, forcing my eyes open. "What?" I mumbled, running my fingers through my tangled hair.

"Time to get up." Austin poked me and I groaned, snuggling against his chest. The soft patter of rain on the rain wasn't helping me get up and it was really cold.

"Shut up." I snapped, closing my eyes again.

"Ooh, feisty! I like that." Austin teased and traced his finger across my bare back.

Wait what?! My bare back...

I gasped and sat up quickly, looking at myself. My tank top had ridden up and I blushed furiously as I frantically pulled it down.

"Man, you look hot!" Austin whistled and I felt like my cheeks were on fire.

I looked him over and I had to admit he was the one who looked hot. His hair was messed up, his blue eyes twinkling at me and his perfect lips curved into a smirk.

I snapped out of my fantasy and buried my face in my pillow, hiding my red cheeks.

"Aww Princess, don't hide from me. Your blushing makes you even more hot." He ran his hand over my hair and I don't even think it's possible but my cheeks grew redder.

"Pervert." I muttered, gritting my teeth as I got up. A blast of cold air hit me and I shivered, throwing myself under the covers again. "I can't." I stated, my wide eyes staring at the ceiling.

Austin burst into laughter beside me and I stared at him like he had grown two heads.

"Haha so funny." I said humorlessly and brought the covers up to my chin.

"A little more snuggling and then we'll get up." Austin answered and wrapped his arms around me.

I looked sharply at him and narrowed my eyes. "Get your hands off me this instant or I'm cutting them off." I spoke in a low tone and he shrugged, tightening his grip around my waist.

"Wait a minute. Today is Sunday, which means we can sleep till lunch. So why did you wake me up?" I asked.

"Cause I felt like it." He replied casually and kissed my cheek. I gasped and started pummeling him with my pillow. "You asshole!" I yelled as he lay there laughing. Bringing the pillow to my cheek, I wiped the spot in disgust and glared at him.

I huffed and brought the covers over my face, turning away from Austin.

"Princess, I'm sorry." Austin apologized and took the covers away from my face.

I was not a morning person. About everything pissed me off and I was really grumpy.

"You do know Lexi is still around right?" Austin asked, and I turned to him quickly. "She is?"

"Yea, has been hanging out with Mason the whole time. I was thinking, me, you, Mason, Lexi, Emily, Hunter, Alex and James should all hang out today." Austin suggested.
