Starcrossed

Mansion - day 5.2

~ Scorpio

I heard someone pacing back and forth in the room next to me. What is Cancer up to? Is she in trouble?! What if there's someone else in there?
I quietly opened the door and saw her, clutching a book, she startled when she saw me. 'So, I guess you couldn't sleep either?' she said, avoiding my gaze. I shrugged. 'I just overthink things, that's all'. As soon as overthink left my lips, her eyes widened in shock. 'I have the same thing, I can't stop thinking about everything and, dwelling on the past...' She slightly flinched, as if in pain, but quickly evened out her expression.

'Any idea how to stop it?' I asked her, rubbing the back of my neck and leaning against the doorframe. She shrugged. 'I try and read as a distraction, but it doesn't always work' 'Can I come in?' I blurted, immediately blushing. She seemed to think for a bit, but slightly pushed the door open for me to enter. On her dresser was a reading lamp, dimly lighting the room. She had a bigger balcony than me. Her pillows were upright, in sitting position. I picked Cancer up and let myself fall on the bed, with her in my arms. She chuckled, her eyes lighting up with her smile, making her stunning green eyes sparkle. It's so beautiful to see her laugh.

I slowly dipped my head down and pecked her cheek making her smile grow wider. She pulled me up next to her, so we were cuddling. I played with her golden blonde locks, while looking at her eyes. She traced the veins on my arm with her fingers, stirring something inside me. I felt such adoration, passion for her. Does she even know what she does to me? I bit my lip to keep myself from kissing her, but she made a circular motion with her fingers on my wrist, and looked at me with those sparkling eyes. She made me lose my self-control. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her, like I had never kissed anyone before.

We watched sunrise, amazed by the beauty of it. Earlier that night, we grabbed a blanket to wrap around ourselves, keeping eachother warm. We went back inside, dropping the blanket at our feet. 'Let's have breakfast, I'm hungry' Aries whispered, his breath fanning over my face, making me shiver at how close we were. I nodded, and he swept me off my feet, picking me up bridal style. I couldn't help but chuckle as he descended, and I probably woke everyone up, because all the bedroom doors opened, showing tired couples tightly holding eachother. I waved at them, checking them out from left to right. Taurus and Libra had wrapped their arms around eachother, goofily smiling.
Then Cancer and Scorpio opened the door, their hair was messy and Cancer leaned her head on Scorpio's shoulder. Leo and Sag were grinning and waving at me.
Virgo and Cap looked very tired, still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes, Virgo wiggled her eyebrows at me.

'Where are Aqua and Pisces?' I mouthed to Cancer, she shrugged. Just at that moment, the window to the roof opened, and Aqua jumped out of it. He gave Pisces his hand to hold on to as she also jumped, into his arms. They giggled and smiled, but their smiles dropped when they saw everybody was looking at them. Aqua put Pisces down and coughed awkwardly, Pisces blushed and walked to her room, closing the door behind her. Aries put me down at the end of the stairs and we walked to the kitchen, preparing cereal. The others followed us, Pisces also ran after them. 'Why such a humble breakfast? It's our very last day in here!' Cancer pouted. 'You're right, let's prepare something with the food we've got left' Virgo responded. Everyone prepared breakfast and we sat at the table, chatting.

I sat next to Virgo, discussing the couples. 'I'm mostly surprised about Scorpio and Cancer, I mean, they're pretty much opposites' Virgo pointed out while nibbling on her sandwich. 'Really? I think Taurus and Libra are a surprising couple, with them not really hanging out together before this weekend' I thoughtfully said. Taurus and Libra look more like friends than a couple to me. 'True' Virgo responded. 'Do you think they'll last?' she added. I almost choked on my wrap.

'What?' 'Taurus and Libra, do you think they'll last long? I bet they'll break up in under a week' she whispered, I looked at them, they were chatting and laughing. 'Well, I do think they're better friends than a couple' I mumbled. 'But I'm not going to place bets on someone's relationship' I added. Virgo scoffed 'I'm still right, you just watch and see' and she turned to talk to Leo.

Even if she is right, it's not okay to place bets like that. I looked at Aries from across the table, he winked and continued to talk to Sag. I moved my gaze to Aqua and Pisces, having a discussion. Mmm, they look like a cute couple. 'Virgo, look' I nudged Virgo and motioned to them. She grinned and nodded. 'Could very well be, we have to get them together!' I nodded. 'But how?' 'Well, maybe a party or something? I don't know' she shrugged. 'That's a good idea! Maybe you can get Cap to throw a party at his house?' I hesitantly asked. 'I'll try' she said, winking and turning around again.

After everyone was done, it was time to clean up. Leo stood on her chair and silenced everyone. 'Okay, everyone cleans up their own room, and for the ones who already have' she motioned at Pisces, Virgo and me 'you can do the dishes' she got off the chair and everyone went off to do their thing. Pisces and I did the dishes, while Virgo worked the vacuum cleaner in the tv-room.

Everyone was done, and we stood outside with our bags. 'Well, say goodbye everyone!' Aries shouted, and he locked the door behind us.
That's when we walked towards the cars and really said our goodbyes to the environment.

I have a question, should I keep doing p.o.v.'s? I feel they don't really add to the plot.
