Pure Beauty

Chapter 6 - The Morning After

Zach's POV

I was waiting for her to finish, I changed from my jeans and t-shirt, and put on my pajama pants. I heard my door open and I looked up to see Meg in my Captain America t-shirt and her long legs underneath. “Hey, I'm done.” she said through the door and I slowly walked towards her looking up and down her legs like I was going to die. “Y-yeah O-okay.” I stammer while following her perfect little body to my bed.

This felt like one of my dreams. She and I in the same bed, sleeping. Ever since she moved here from New Mexico, which I think is bull shit because she is pale as a vampire, I have had a crush on her and my friends knew this. I'm so glad I lost that bet. It was a stupid bet to. It was to have the head cheerleader ask you out by the end of the month, which was the day of the party. I really didn't want to put effort into it anyways because she was not very pretty and she was blonde, 'stupid'.

Everyone on the football team had to participate or else it would not be fair. Most of the guys gave up and didn't care anymore, I stayed with my best friend Alex, because he paid me. At the end it was me, Alex, and the wide-receiver, Jason. Jason ended up winning the bet and the lead cheerleader, Brianna, said if it was between Alex and me she would have chosen Alex. I ended up falling asleep soon after I laid down, making me go into a dreamless slumber.

I awoke to movement on my side and chest. I open my eyes to see Meg's freezing arms moving around my very warm torso, making me shiver. Apparently she got uncovered last night and became cold. Being in the middle of October was terrible; it always got really cold and then would be warmer during November and December.

I really hate the weather sometimes, but not today, because it made Meg just curl into me more. I reached over to the night stand and grabbed my phone, it was almost six in the morning, we had school starting in about two hours. I went to text Simone about clothing for Meg but she already did and said she was going to walk over in ten minutes to do so. Having Meg's best friend live nearby was good because she can help me like she did last night and I can't thank her enough.

I only had about ten fifteen minutes to get Meg up and down stairs so she can get her clothes and I can attempt to make her breakfast. And yes, I did say attempt. I lightly shook her and she just moaned and rolled over so she was facing up, then I got a genius idea. This idea goes with the whole Disney speech I told her last night about princesses. So, because she is my princess I'm waking her up by kissing her.

I kiss her gently on her forehead, I pulled away to say “Hey there Sleeping Beauty,” no answer. Ah. Ha. I should tickle her, girls hate that right. I warned her before I started to see if she was awake but she wasn't. The moment I started to tickle she moved and squirmed so I couldn't get to her. “Come on Meg, Simone is coming with your clothes for today and you need to get ready for school. “mn kay,” she said opening her eyes.

“Why did you tickle me? I was having a good dream.” Oh, it must be about me. “Because I tried to get you up by shaking you and kissing your forehead and all I thought to do next is tickle you or kiss you like the prince does to Sleeping Beauty.” I stated while getting up. She gets up slowly and I walk over to her and give her a warm, caring hug, “Why are you always cold Meg?” I ask the shivering beauty in front of me “I don't know, why are you always warmer than me?” she said against my bare chest, just there is a knock on the front door. “Oh, that must be Simone now.”

We walk down stairs and to the door hand in hand, all I was thinking was, glad my parents both worked night shifts, because Simone's knock kept getting louder the longer we took. When we got to the door and opened it, Simone started before I could say 'hey'.

“Why did you take forever? Why are you wearing his shirt? Why aren't you wearing a shirt? And here are your clothes Meg.” what no 'hello, good morning.'? “Well, we did not take that long so hold your horses,” Meg spoke before me making it a less awkward situation, “I am wearing his shirt because I did not want to sleep in skinny jeans and my blouse and I don't know why he is not wearing a shirt, but I don't care so shut up.”

“I am not wearing a shirt because I never wear a shirt to bed because I always end up too hot anyway.” I said clarifying it for the two girls standing in my living room. “Anyways, we need to get ready for school, Simone, you can sit on the couch and watch T.V. if you want, Meg come on, let's get ready.” I said looking at the time '6:45' wow Simone cannot tell time and distance together.
