Chapter six: I'm No Pervert, I Tell You

 ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

"'Cause girl, you're perfect,

You're always worth it,

And you deserve it,

The way you work it."

~Earned it, The Weekend.

THE BLINDING LIGHT commands me to wake up, and I open my eyes to find Edward's legs on mine.

Is is possible to wake up with your jaw already hanging open?

Edward is sleeping peacefully next to me, with a periodical rise and fall of his chest. His hair is even messier than it usually is, and his legs rest on mine, while a thick covering of blanket is draped across his body.

His features look sculpted. And I could stare at him all day, when he is still deep in slumber.

Did I actually sleep with Edward Darmian?

No, not sleep with him but.

Only then does the realization dawn on me that apparently - and unfortunately - I have school today.

As you might have already guessed, I have completely no interest in going to school.

How am I going to face Marcie? Or any of my schoolmates?

"Stay", Edward mumbles, interrupting my thoughts, "just you stay."

I shake him awake and laugh. He talks during his sleep?

"Let me sleep, muddlehead", he mumbles, still not waking up, and curling up beneath the blanket.

"Morning, sunshine", I whisper in his ears, tickling him.

He suddenly jerks awake, and we're both laughing.

"Edward?" I ask.

"Yeah?" he replies, still chuckling.

"I have school today."

"Of course you do."

"But I don't want to go."

"Of course you don't."

I pull the blanket away, and make an effort to pull out his clothing in the process.

"What are you trying to do!" he yells.

"I was expecting a rational answer when I said I didn't want to go to school. Also, you're still half asleep. So wake up!"
