Clayton P.O.V.

Someone was on top of me, that was the only thought in my head, at whatever time it was in the day. Hair tickled my neck and I had to move a few strands out of my mouth.  The rise and fall of their chest was very pronounced. My eyes took a few minutes to adjust, but I knew this living room, and I knew that cheeky, dimpled grin anywhere.

"Lily, why are you watching us sleep?" I say drowsily. Of course it was Rave sleeping on top of me.

"Cause you guys are really cute, and I took like 10 pictures" Lily responded matter-of-factly.

"Really creepy Lily, really creepy" I say breathily. She rolled her eyes.

"Well, I know that I'm going to have lots of fun, watching you two explain how you ended up in the main living room's couch after coming in at 2 a.m." Lily said presumptuously. I groan, should have kept track of the time.

    "I'm just gonna go back to sleep...or fake sleep whichever one holds me out the longest" I say thoughtfully. Rave shifted on top of me,her arms slid around my neck and she turned her head so that now her lips pressed lightly into the base of my neck.

"My sister is slick even in her sleep" Lily mumbled. It was my turn to roll my eyes now, I lifted up a hand and let my fingers play with a few strands of Raven's hair. A phone began to ring and obviously, cause in my happiest moments it has always been my phone ringing.

I struggle to sit up and manage to not wake Raven. I slip my phone out from my pocket.

"Hey" I say, after glancing at the Caller ID and taking the call.

"Oi, where are you? We came home early and you're not here! Like wow, Clayton I feel very cast out. Are you hanging out with Daren?! ARE YOU DITCHING US FOR A MORNING BOOZE PARTY!!" Bella screeched through my phone. I had mixed emotions of relief and fear.

"No, I crashed at my girlfriends house" I explain. Actually, I shouldn't have said that. Oh shit.

"YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" Bella wailed.  Jesus, what hole did I just dig myself. I heard the fight start right after that.

"Alec, if you don't let go of the goddamn phone" Bella hissed.

"Like hell, we're gonna have a guy talk" Alric countered.

"Guy talk...what the fuck is a guy talk. Guy talk my ass, let go of the fuck ass phone" Bella screeched. Oh how I've missed my dear older siblings.

"CLAYTON, talk sense into our dear sister!" Alric yells. You could obviously tell that Alric was driving.

"Why are you guys driving?" I ask, they weren't home and it made no sense why they weren't home.

"Uh...well you see. After the crushing disappointment of not find you home we decided to get Japanese take-out" Bella explained.

"You needed a reason to get out the house" I say simply.

"That too" Alric added. They could feel the suffocating vibes and they hadn't been home for a day.

"Now back that girlfriend of yours" Bella says with that convincing tone of hers.

"She's perfect" I say looking at Raven, who was still asleep.
