Next Door Lover

27.

Katie's POV
Nope. I'm refusing to wake up. If I don't open my eyes, Scarlett can't say goodbye and she won't leave. Last night was amazing, perfect even. Hearing the sounds coming out of her mouth and moaning my name from my actions was exhilarating. I never wanted to stop, but I think I showed her how capable I am at pleasing her. I just hope she knows I offer more than just that.

I feel her place soft kisses along my cheek, then my jaw, and when one gets placed on my neck my body involuntarily moans, telling her I'm awake.

"Nooooo" I whine and wrap my arms around her warm body, squeezing her impossibly close.

"I know." She chuckles and presses a soft kiss to my lips. Her hair is messy and draped around her face as she looks over me. The room is still dark but I can make out every single facial feature of hers and I take my time admiring her.

"How long do you have?" I ask

"I want to shower, so maybe another 5 minutes." She answers and I groan like a little kid. "You can shower .... With me?" She offers and I look up at her seeing her signature smirk on her face. I use all my strength to lift her into my arms and jump out bed, running into the bathroom. She squeals and laughs at me but stops laughing when her feet hit the cold bathroom tile.

Getting dressed after the shower is filled with lots of giggles and touching. I steal her sweatshirt she wore here and she steals my sweatshirt back. It smells just like her and I know it will quickly become a safety net for me.

Walking downstairs, I go to prepare her a coffee but am shocked to see Lizzie and Robbie awake already, cooking a huge breakfast.

"Mooorning" Lizzie sings and hugs her friend. I like seeing their friendship and it reminds me of the one I thought I had with Leah. I'm not looking forward to seeing her once I return home.

"How was the show?" I ask Lizzie and Robbie.

"So good" Lizzie squeals and when she makes eye contact with Robbie I can see the love pouring from her eyes to his. I can only wish to be in a relationship like that one day.

"How was your night?" Lizzie asks while flipping some eggs in the pan in front of her. I glance at Scarlett and see her smiling and I smile right back with her.

"Very nice." Scarlett says and Liz and her exchange a knowing look and when Lizzie wiggles her eyes brows, Scarlett turns a deep red.

"Did you like the food?" Robbie asks and Scarlett's quick to smile and shake her head yes.

Robbie helped me out a ton last night. As soon as I figured out I had some alone time with Scarlett I ran downstairs looking for some kind of idea of how I can pull off a date night. Robbie jumped in with ideas and after I quickly showered he helped me pick up food and set up the table and lights outside. Fucking angel of a man right there.

After a lovely breakfast, Lizzie says goodbye to Scarlett before I drive her to the airport. She only had a backpack that she brought with her so I place that in the back seat while she gets in the front seat. Once I get in, she reaches over and grabs my hand with the car keys in it and holds it in her lap.

"I kinda need the keys to start the car." I laugh.

"I know but we can stay like this for just a minute." She says and leans her head on my shoulder wrapping her arms around my one arm tightly hugging it.

"I'm going to miss you." I speak out into the car after a few seconds.

"I am too. This was so nice but you'll be coming back on Thursday. It's not too much longer." She answers back.

"Is it bad that I want to go home so bad but I'm scared." I confess and she picks her head up turning my cheek with her hand to look at her.

"It's normal to be scared but I believed your dad when he said he would take care of it for you. And you're always welcome to stay with me if you want." She offers.
