I Love Him But I Can't (Scallison)

That's Low, Even For You

The next morning, I woke up with my head on Scott's chest. He was still in the same clothes from yesterday and I could smell a hint of his cologne. He was stroking my arm and I looked up to see him smiling.

"Good morning beautiful."

I smile and rest my chin on his chest. "Good morning. I could get used to this."

He kisses my forehead and says "Used to what?"

"Waking up in your arms. It's nice."

"I like having you in my arms." He kisses my cheek quickly. "You drool."

"I do not!"

Scott laughs and lifts his arm to show the wet mark near his sleeve. "I thought it was kinda cute."

"You think everything is cute."

"Anything relating to you at least."

Aunt Kate came in and says "Well, it's not much of a surprise to see you here. Care to join us for breakfast brown eyes?"

Scott blushes and says "Um, I don't think Mr and Mrs. Argent would appreciate that."

Mom walks in and says "Allison, why aren't you–," but stops when she spots Scott. "I can see. Alright, downstairs you two. Scott, care to help Allison with breakfast?"

"It'd be my pleasure Mrs. Argent."

I smile meekly and say "We'll be downstairs in a minute?"

Aunt Kate says "Take your time."

Mom slaps Kate's shoulder and says "Hurry up you two."

Kate and mom leave and I turn to Scott with a laugh.

"That was totally embarrassing."

Scott kisses my cheek and says "It wasn't that bad. Come on, let's go make breakfast."

Surprisingly, breakfast wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be. Dad and Scott played cards again. Mom was raving about Scott's breakfast. Aunt Kate just kept telling me that Scott was quite the catch. Now it was a week from that day, and we were currently sitting in the living room, chatting about random topics. Scott had his arm around me before his phone rang and it was Melissa.

"Allison, my mom wants to know if you'd like to come over for dinner." Scott then turns to my parents. "Mr and Mrs. Argent, would you three like to come as well?"

My dad nods and says "We'd really like that, thank you Scott."

We walked to the front door and Melissa pulled me into a tight hug. Scott goes to get a hug and Melissa kisses his cheek quickly before gently pushing him to the side. Scott feigned a hurt expression which I quickly fixed by kissing him. Mom and Melissa went into the kitchen while dad and Kate sat in the living room.

"So Allison, what's your favorite fruit," Melissa asked.

I smile and say "Strawberries."

"Do you like milk chocolate?" I nod and she puts a tray of chocolate covered strawberries on the table in front of me. "Good. Enjoy."

I laugh and say "You're too sweet Melissa. Thank you."

"Of course." Melissa turns to Scott. "Oh, I have a treat for you as well." She hands Scott a plate with foil around it. "Lydia dropped these off for you this morning. She made for Stiles and ended up having extra so she thought you'd like them."

Scott unwraps it to show chocolate chip cookies. "She's awesome." Scott bites into one and moans. "I'm gonna send her a thank you text."

Kate was watching me and I knew by her worried look that I wasn't hiding my anger very well. Melissa passes Scott his phone and he starts typing. Scott puts his phone back down and kisses my cheek as he wraps his arms around me again. Melissa came out with a plate of brownies. Lydia can bake, so what? So can I. Scott loves me and I don't care how good her cookies taste, she's not gonna get Scott back. I bite into the brownie and my eyes widened slightly.
