bad idea! | felix catton

chapter 1

"Cordelia wake up" I feel a soft weight hit up against me. My eyes barely opening, the sun beaming from outside. I can barely see who it is. "India get off of me." I groan, pushing her off. She giggles and hits me with the pillow that was once beneath my head.

"No cordelia wake up we are going out tonight!" She says smacking me again with the pillow. I must've fallen asleep after my last lecture. I finally decide to get up and I look at myself in the mirror. "Bloody hell I look like shit." I grouch, looking at my dark circles.

"No time for being insecure, put some makeup on and get ready!" India yells as she is struggling to put her hoop earrings on. India is the kind of girl you fall for just by looking at her. I have only known her through being roommates. If we weren't roommates I do not think we would be caught dead in the same room. She's a lot prettier than me, taller, and just has a better presence.

I am finally ready, I grab my small black purse from our rack where we hang our coats and purses. "Finally! India gasps, grabbing my hand, she opens the door and Felix and Ollie are outside, waiting on us. "So which one out of the both of you took so goddamn long?" I roll my eyes as India points and giggles at me.

We arrive at the pub where the rest of the friend group is seated by the window. They are very loud and I can tell they've had already started drinking. We make our way to the table where I sit between Felix and Farleigh. "Oooo look who made it." Fairleigh gasps sarcastically.

Felix smirks over to me, "Maeve made us late so you can blame her." Maeve. Felix has always called me maeve from the moment he found out my last name. He is the only one that calls me that.

The drinking continues as we slam down too many shots, i have honestly lost count, "Who's round is it?"

"Mine I think? I question myself, not really thinking. I am honestly not sober enough to be making any decisions that includes money or alcohol. "I think you have had too much to drink." Felix interjects.

"No she owes us a round of shots." Farleigh smirks taking a sip out of his cup. I look at felix and then up at farleigh. Felix shakes his head at me, he stands up. "Come on maeve I am taking you home." India's face drops as she looks at him then at me again. It is not unlike felix to act like this, he's my best friend and he looks after me and the other way around. India does not like when he's sweet to me and how close we are. She believes that he could be interested in me. Me? Who could be interested in me.

Not really paying attention, Felix grabs my arm, removes me from where I was sitting, guiding me in his direction. "Boooo" Farleigh yells, everyone else at the table joined. As we walk out their voices trail off, fading into nothing.

"What about ollie and india?" I asked turning around to go back to the pub. Felix quickly grabs a hold of me and picks me up onto his shoulders, "Uhm excuse me? put me down." I plead as I am draped over his broad shoulder. "Not until we get to my place." He sounds a bit annoyed. His place? Honestly I don't not mind sleeping in felix's room, it not unusual for him to bring me there. Not in a gross way, but he takes care of me a lot. I was just confused as why tonight he had to bring me there when I was perfectly fine. I honestly did not have the energy to ask why or care about the situation at hand. I honestly just wanted to go to sleep.

We make it to his room where he puts me back onto my feet as he grabs his keys out of his pocket. I start laughing as he struggles to take out his key. "Bloody hell can you not joke right now." He giggles as he opens the door. I quickly enter his room and plant myself onto his bed.

"I was going to say ladies first but you didn't give me enough time to open the door lady." He smiles as he closes the door behind him. "Felix?" I question him.

"Yes maeve?"

"maeve, why do you call me that? I whisper, my eyes closing a bit. I can feel the room spinning as I place my head down onto the bed.

"Because it's a beautiful name." Felix says. Felix and I, our friendship is impeccable. He acts like a boyfriend without the title, and without the feelings. "Do you want to change into something a bit comfier?" I look at him as he is holding a white tshirt he just pulled out of his dresser.

"Just that?" I stand up to grab the shirt from his hand. "This shirt will fit you like a dress." He raises his eyebrows, he's right. He is 6'5 and i'm 5'1. This shirt will cover everything. I giggle, "wait why'd you bring me here tonight, wanted another sleepover felix?" I begin to remove my shirt,"Woah maeve could've given me a second to turn around."He doesn't move. He stands there still, looking me up and down. He keeps looking away for a couple seconds but then back at me. "Like you haven't seen me naked before, relax." I winked at him as I unbuttoned my jeans, slowly pulling them down. I can still feel his eyes on me. "Can I honestly sleep like this." I giggle jokingly. "You're wasted, put my shirt on!" He blushes, "Alright, alright." I say pulling it over my head.

I crawl over his bed, adjusting the pillow so I can lay down. "To answer your question honestly, I didn't want india trying to go home with me." He says changing into a pair of sweats, no shirt. "She tries so hard."

"So, am I like a security guard... protecting you from her?" I look at him, a puzzling expression grows on his face. "No maeve, you are my best friend. I just don't want india thinking she has a chance." Felix and india are not a thing, but india has fancied him since forever. I can see it though, her and felix flirt a lot, or maybe he just likes to play along. The attention? Felix just has never made a move, and every night I hear india complaining about it. Who wouldn't want her though? She's gorgeous and felix not being able to see that is crazy. "Felix... I honestly am falling asleep."

"Alright maevey." He flicks the light off and I can feel him walk across the room from where he was standing and lays next to me. Not close, but inches away. I begin to close my eyes and just like that i fell asleep.
