Faint Memories

Chapter 13: Man periods are worse than a girls

The next morning, I woke up to the sun hitting my face. I rolled over, having the sun hit my back. A lump is curled up next to me, facing the wall as well. Arden's breathing is steady which momentarily calms me that he didn't die in his sleep.

Memories of last nights craziness comes back. I'll admit it was stupid and irresponsible but you gotta live a little.

The blanket gets pulled from me, sending a shiver go through my body from the sudden loss of heat. Arden curls up with the blanket looking so peaceful instead of mad. Alright I gotta admit it was pretty cute. Awweeeeeeee. I get up from the bed, rubbing my eyes to adjust to the sun coming through the window. The floor creaks slightly as I move around to pick up the things that I left laying around the night before.

Once everything is back to where it should be, I look at my phone and plop back onto my bed, ignoring Arden's presence. My phone was once again blown up by Eva and Teyla, talking about another riot happening in some fandom. A few texts from Nathan about my car being left at his house. After texting them back, I start checking other social media, then check the time. It's a little 11, so my parents are at the shop.

After going to the bathroom, I go downstairs and make a small breakfast with waffles, hot chocolate and coffee. I grab a cup of water and an aspirin from the downstairs bathroom, and run back up to my room.

Arden is still asleep, which gives me an idea that seems fair enough for what he did last night. The kiss last night...seemed all too sloppy to be on purpose, but it still bothered me, because I got that feeling in my stomach again.

I walk towards the bed and open up the camera on my phone to start recording. I place my phone on my nightstand, facing the bed and start shaking Arden.

"Help I've Fallen and I can't get up!" I whisper loudly by his ear. Arden jolts awake and begins groaning in pain. He cradles his head in his hands, muttering about being hungover.

"Shut up and get life alert." He groans. I laugh and hand him the pill and cup but he just rolls over to crawl back under the blanket.

"Get up you fat ass." I'd like to state the fact he's actually pretty skinny and has some muscle but eats so much junk food that I'm waiting for the day that he gains weight to come. My attempts of rolling him over were a fail. He manages to stay put in my bed. What an ass.

"I'll just eat all the waffles I warmed up." I bribe him.

"You know damn well you're going to leave some for me." He retorts. I roll my eyes and go back down to eat my breakfast.

************************

Arden eventually got up from his hungover state, but still is a little fragile, and joined me in the kitchen. No words were even exchanged, we just sat there in silence. I guess his head was still a little sensitive, plus it was somewhat awkward.

My phone screens lights up to show that I got a text from Ashton. Le sigh.

Ashton- 4 today at aquarium

I slyly look over at Arden who's rubbing his temples and scowling slightly. A smile creeps onto my face before I text Ashton back.

Me- Can't, I'm busy

I stuff my phone in my back pocket and gather all the plates and place them in the sink.

"C'mon, lets go watch a movie."

Arden shakes his head and groans again. I call Eva up and invite her over to help me with Arden, thank god she agrees to.

I attempt to drag Arden over to the living room, but the stupid guy won't move at all on his own. Just as I'm about to finally get him off the high chair, my phone rings again. I quickly open the text hoping for it to be Eva telling me she's here. A knock would just set my dog off and barking madly, so everyone has to call or text in order for me to open the door for them.
