Tap Tap Tap / Peterick

Chapter 20

A/N: guess who's back back, back again

"Is that it?" I yawned, loading what I was pretty sure the last box containing all my things. It was a pretty light box, and I was forever thankful of that because my arms felt like they were about fall off from carrying so many boxes to the moving truck we rented.

"Yeah, that was the last!" Pete called, appearing beside me with a huge grin on his face. I wanted to return the smile, but I was way too tired, and honestly couldn't bring myself to do it.

"You wanna go grab a bite to eat before we head back home?" And yeah, my heart fluttered at the word home.

"Can't we order a pizza or something? I'm really tired." I sighed, breaking out into yet another yawned. He nodded quickly, kissing my cheek.

"It's already 7pm, so we'll unpack tomorrow, okay?" He asked, glancing at his watch to confirm the time.

I honestly didn't want to deal with any more boxes, but it had to be done. Plus we had that engagement party to go to the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow was really all we had.

I nodded slowly, even though he could clearly tell that it was the last thing I wanted to do. Maybe I'd feel more energetic about it tomorrow. Right now I was just tired and hungry.

Pete kissed my cheek again, and grabbed my hand, leading me to the front of the truck, where we both climbed in. It was much different than Pete's car, but it wasn't like we'd have to drive it forever.

I rested my head against Pete's shoulder as he began to drive down the road, and within seconds, I fell asleep.

---

"Baby, wake up. The pizza is here." Someone shook me softly. I groaned, blinking my eyes open to see Pete beside me, looking extremely guilty for waking me up.

"Where are we?"

The last thing I remember was falling asleep on his shoulder in the truck, and now apparently I was in a bed. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was our bed.

"Home. You fell asleep on the way here." He said, pampering my face with light kisses in order to wake me up some more. It was working.

"Can we eat in bed?" I asked, yawning. He nodded, pulling back from me and kissing my head before disappearing into the kitchen, returning moments later with a box of pizza.

"What kind did you get?" I asked, sitting up a little more once the smell of pizza hit my nose, and as much as I despised eating, I couldn't deny the fact that the smell made my mouth water.

He plopped down on the bed beside me. "Pepperoni."

I gave him a small smile, reaching for one of the smallest slices of the pizza, while Pete greedily reached for the largest slice. He loved pizza.

"I'm so proud of you."

I moved my head to meet his gaze, asking what with a mouthful of pizza. He just laughed breathlessly.

"You've been eating a lot more recently. I'm proud of you. You're getting better."

I could feel my cheeks heat up, the reddish color intensifying. I absolutely loved the fact that I was getting better, and honestly, Pete was to thank for that. I don't think I would've pushed myself to get any better if Pete and I hadn't fought about it that night.

"Thank you." I said, finishing the last bite of the pizza. I was gonna reach for another, but I decided not to. I was getting better, but the key word there would be getting. One slice was enough for me. Pete however ate three slices, and it sorta made me jealous. I wish I had the confidence he had when it came to eating to be honest.

"Do you wanna go back to bed?" Pete asked, placing the pizza box on the nightstand beside him. I knew he was probably too tired to take into the kitchen, and honestly, I couldn't blame him.

I leaned up and pressed my lips to his in a kiss that was totally meant to be chaste, but that kiss heated up real quick. When he pulled away, his lips were pink and slightly parted as he breathed heavily.

"Oh. Oh. Do you uh, have other plans?" He asked, moving a bit closer to me. I laughed.

"I mean, I didn't plan on getting intimate or anything, but if you want to.." I trailed off, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks. Pete was bright red as well.

"I mean, yeah sure, if that's cool with you. I'm always a slut for some peterick sex." Pete said. I laughed.

"I can not believe you just said that." I chuckled, stressing the word believe. Pete just smiled, running his hand up and down my arm.

After a short moment of silence, Pete pressed his lips against mine, and as if on cue, a rather large yawn escaped  my mouth. Pete  laughed against my lips.

"You're tired."

I wanted to argue, disagree with him, but he was right. Even after the however long nap, I still felt as though if I blinked, my eyes wouldn't open again. I was exhausted.

He must've saw that I looked conflicted, and kissed my cheek softly.

"It's okay, babe. Another time?"

I nodded slowly, feeling my eyelids get heavy. He pulled me into his arms, my head resting on his chest.

"Love you."

And before I could say it back, I was out like a light.
