Nothing Without You: Emerson Barrett Fanfic

Chapter Seventeen

A loud thump came from the door waking us abruptly. "GET YOUR ASSES UP!" Remington yelled from the other side of the door. With a sigh, I sat up rubbing my eyes as I looked over at Emerson still sleeping. Shaking my head I stood up, stretched, and pulled Em's shirt back on as I made my way to the door. 

"Do you know what time it is?" I asked in a pissy tone. 

"Of course I do, but." Remy starts.

"But nothing." I cut him off. "Today is an off day. We're sleeping in and then doing stuff as a normal couple. You go do you." 

"Just wanted to know if you guys wanted to join us for breakfast. Hateful." Remington sighs. 

"Nope. We're good." I state starting to close the door. 

Remington puts his foot in the way keeping it from shutting. "Why are you so grumpy? Did you not get your way last night? Is that why you're being so bitchy?" 

"I don't think it's any of your business what we did or didn't do." 

"You're just so grumpy." Remington pouts. 

"Look at the time Rem! We didn't get in until late. Then we spent time together and when we went to bed at about five! It's now seven! We've been asleep two hours!!!!" 

"Mmm, not my fault love birds."

"Go away, Remington." 

"Fine. Will you both join us for dinner?"

"Maybe. We'll see." I smiled shutting the door.

Shaking my head, I slide Em's shirt off before I crawl back into the bed. Em wraps his arms loosely around my waist resting his head on my shoulder. "Is he gone?" He asked softly. 

"Yeah, baby. Go back to sleep." 

Em smiled keeping his eyes shut. "Are you going to go back to sleep?"

"For a bit longer."

"Okay. Then so will I."

I smiled at him closing my eyes as I snuggled into him. He was so warm and his bare chest flush against mine was beyond nice. "Goodnight, babe." I whispered.

"Night princess." He whispered back kissing my head. 

When the alarm went off at ten, Emerson groaned. "Turn it off. Let's stay in bed."

"Baby, it's ten in the morning and if we want to do anything we unfortunately need to get up."

"I know. I just enjoy being snuggled up to you. You're so warm and soft..." He smiled kissing my nose. 

I smiled back at him. "You're right, but we wanted to have a date day. Remember? Plus, we should go out and eat to celebrate our engagement. Your brothers want to. Well, they want to go to dinner with us. I say we use it as our celebratory dinner."

"FINEEEEEEE." He groans slowly getting out of bed. 

"It was your idea, not mine." 

"I know. I know. I'm just tired still. Maybe we should just stay in bed today and use our next off day as date day."

"We could do that. I don't mind. Can we still go out tonight?" 

With a smile, Em crawls back into the bed with me pulling me close to his side. "Of course, we can still go out tonight babe."

With a smile, I closed my eyes for a moment just listening to his heartbeat and breathing. Something about this always put me at ease. "I could lay like this all day." 

"We'll good thing we agreed to stay in, because I'm not getting out of this bed and we can lay like this forever."

"Well, not forever. Check-out is in two hours. So, we will have to go back to the bus and snuggle." 

"Ugh!" He sighs. 

"I know, but on the plus side, only eighteen shows left. Which is going to be a relief. Not that I don't enjoy it. I mean it pays our bills and shit. I'm just ready to be back at our home. In our bed."

"You have eighteen shows left. You're the one who hired someone to do the Europe and UK leg." He reminds me. 

"I know. I just want to be home. I'll still come and visit you as often as I can."

"I'm not mad about it. I was just stating."

With a small kiss on my head, Emerson stands. "We need to get our stuff packed and back to the bus or we'll have to pay for another day."
