Explanations

The next morning I had woken up resting on top of Ninten. I was really worried I might be crushing him or something but he didn't seem to be uncomfortable. In fact he was using me as some kind of cuddly teddy bear, as his arms were wrapped around my body and his head was resting in my hair. I couldn't help but blush. His chest rose up and down peacefully and he had the faintest of smiles on his face.

"Aw..." I whisper as the boy makes a cute little whine. I have to carefully pull away from him in order to prevent him from awaking, however it's all in vain as he wakes up anyway. He blinks and yawns, rubbing at his eyes tiredly. He wishes me a good morning, I do the same before we both get up and go into the kitchen. We make small talk as we walk down and head over to the fridge. On the front I saw a rather length-y note attached the fridge with a winking face magnet holding it.

Villa, I can't believe you opened all of those letters. But it made me realise your very persistent, determined, and will stop at nothing to get the answer as to 'why'. If you're anything like me then you're pretty stubborn too. And two stubborn people arguing over something could last for an eternity. So later on, I'll give an explanation alright? There's no point me keeping it secret when you know these letters are being sent to you.

P.S. I have a pic of you and Ninten. And yes, I'm out framing it now :)

Mel

As much as I wasn't looking forward to seeing the framed photo of me and Ninten cuddling, I was really happy that Mel was going to tell me everything. Ninten was pretty chuffed about it too, but he was a little more interested in the photo, wanting me to text Mel and ask her to make a copy for him. I did so hesitantly. Once we'd both had breakfast, we'd gotten dressed again and then tidied up the living room. We threw out all of the rubbish and put any leftover stuff in the cupboards, as well as took my duvet back upstairs to my bedroom. We basically made sure the room looked like it hadn't even been touched at all last night.

Ninten left shortly after, getting a message from Claus and immediately rushing over there. I chuckled as he blushed a little, closing the door behind him and probably running down the drive as fast as he physically could. I didn't mind too much though.

Mel couldn't get home faster, time was moving at such a horrifically slow pace and I was struggling to find things to keep me distracted. I tried watching TV but nothing vaguely interesting was on, I tried to find some chores to do but I finished them pretty quick, I was going to do my homework too but then I remembered I'd gotten it out of the way so I'd have more free time. Of course I had to be thoughtful of the future when I desperately needed something to do. Thankfully, just before I went trashed the house so I could then clean it, Mel came home.

I practically ran up to her and engulfed her into a hug. I think she was a little shocked I was even hugging her at all but a few seconds later and hugged me back and kissed my forehead.
"Sorry about last night kiddo. I didn't mean to shout at you like that."

"Forget it," I said. "Let's just discuss the letters, okay?" The brunette nods and we both head into the kitchen. She starts to make us both a cup of tea, handing me the framed photo of Ninten and I before rummaging around in the cupboard for some biscuits. In the picture I had buried my head into the boy's chest and Ninten had his arms draped around me.

"It was so adorable coming downstairs this morning to find you two like that. I took a load of different pics but that one was my favourite." She placed a plate of Digestives onto the table, the kettle boiling seconds later. She then walked back over to the counter and poured the water into two shining white mugs. Whilst she waited for the tea to brew she grabbed one of the chocolate biscuits and munched on it as she searched through her handbag and brought out the letters from last night. So that's where those had gone...
