Mine (A Connor Ball Love Story)

Quality Time

           I woke up the next morning with Connor's arms still wrapped around me. I tried to get up without waking him up, but failed oh so badly.

           "And where," he said, tightening his arms around me, "do you think you're going?"

           "Well, I was going to the bathroom, but I'm guessing that you're going to hold me prisoner?"

           "You are a very smart person."

           "You're just lucky that I'm too lazy to make any effort to force your death grip away from me." He chuckled and kissed the back of my head. I was about to fall back asleep when my bladder started to yell at me.

           "You're gonna have to let me up, babe."

           "Not happening."

           "Do you want me to pee on you? Because that's what is going to happen."

           "Fine," he said, releasing me, "but hurry back."

           "No promises." I jumped out of bed and ran like a madman to the bathroom. When I started to leave the bathroom, I saw my reflection in the mirror. Talk about bed head. I ran a brush through my hair, then contemplated whether to go back to Connor or see if anyone else was up. I ended up taking door number two. I went downstairs to see James already up, surprise surprise. He had running clothes on and was just sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone.

           "Already gone running?" I asked, causing him to look up from his phone. 

           "Yeah, but I decided to come back halfway through. I realized that people might recognize me and I don't want a bunch of screaming girls trying to break into your house." I laughed slightly at the last part.

           "Well, if you don't want to go out more than you need to, you can work out in the garage."

           "Thanks."

           "No problem." I went back upstairs and sat on my bed next to Connor. I sat there in silence, just staring at his face. It had been a couple of months now, but I still found it hard to believe that someone like him could be mine. I got back under the blanket and buried myself in Connor's arms.

           "Took you long enough." He murmured into my hair.

           "Well, Mr. Impatience, I needed to brush my mane."

           "That's no excuse."

           "Shoosh your face." I sighed contentedly. Life didn't get much better than this. We just lay there for a while.

            "We should get up." I said.

            "No." He groaned.

            "You're only going to be here for a week. We need to make the most out of it."

            "I am. Being near you is better than anything else ever."

            "Well, I think we should go out and do stuff." He just sighed and kissed my head.

            "Fine, but only because you want to."

            "Yay! I'm going to start getting ready." I got up and searched through my drawers, looking for something to wear. Once I chose my outfit, I went to the bathroom and did my hair, brushed my teeth, the likes. By the time I was done with everything, everyone was awake and moving. We ended up going to three different restaurants for each meal of the day. We also went to the zoo and the park, where I got stuck in one of the kiddie swings. James had to get on his hands and knees and let me stand on his back so I could get out of it. Of course, Brad, Tris, and Connor took about two million pictures. Each. 

            "Can we play your instruments?" Tris asked once we got back to my house.

            "Of course! I was surprised you didn't ask yesterday." We all ran up to my room. I had collected a couple of instruments over the years. I had all the instruments that the boys played in the band, including a microphone, so that was good. I also had a key-tar and a regular keyboard. The boys all grabbed their instruments and I took the key-tar.

            "Is there anything you don't know how to play?" Connor asked.

            "Well, I've been wanting to learn the triangle for a while." They all laughed and we started talking about which song to play.

            "Well, it depends on what songs Trixie knows." Brad looked to me.

            "Well, I know almost every one of your songs. I was teaching myself 'On The Floor' before I met you."

            "What about 'Wild Heart'?" James suggested.

            "I'm down." I played a couple of notes on my key-tar. The other boys agreed and we dove right into the song. After that, we played 'Can We Dance', 'Last Night', and 'Risk It All'. It was fantastic. Of course, we tried not to play too loud because it was nine at night and there might have been people already asleep. The next say was spent pretty much the same, and the day after was a lazy day, just laying on the couch having a Harry Potter movie marathon. After we watched all of them, Connor and I spent about fifteen minutes just making out in my room, and then we watched The Fault in Our Stars. That movie will always make me cry, no matter what. I just bawled my eyes out into Connor for ten minutes. Yay.
