The next morning.
Tori woke up. Keeping her eyes closed, she sighed she lay.
"Mmm" She groaned out a little, before she yawned. Rolling over, she moved her legs and opened her eyes to see herself falling to the floor and suddenly feeling the sensation.
"Ahh!" She gasped, before someone grabbed her legs and caught her. Pulling herself up, she turned and saw Michael staring at her with tired eyes.
"...Uh, I forgot we fell asleep on the couch" Tori sighed, as she moved her legs away from Michael's grip and sat up. "Sorry" She told him. "Dont be" He shook his head, before he fixed his half messy, and half flat hair.
"Hmm...where are the others?" Tori looked around as she yawned. "Probably in bed?" Michael guessed. Tori looked around for her phone, before seeing it face down on the floor. Picking it up, she pressed the unlock button.
10:37am.
"Its still a little early." She nodded. "Then good night" He sighed. Tori smiled, as she shook her head before she noticed she had three missed calls and a voicemail.
Ringing back the voicemail, a familiar female voice spoke.
"Hello, Miss Montgomery. It's Karina here from the Chicago reading list. I'm just calling to check up on how your doing. Your deadline, is still the same. I hope your working well, I dont really have any concern for you because I know you'll do just fine. If you have any questions, or problems just give me a call. Talk to you later, bye for now."
"Oh shit" Tori hung up. "Whats wrong?" Michael asked. "I forgot about my article" She admitted. "I thought you were writing it about traveling...?" Michael asked. "Yeah, but I havent done anything the past few days...I've been caught up in..." She looked at him, as he opened his eyes.
A smirk sat on his face as he stared at her.
"Too busy thinking about me" He joked, before chuckling. "Calm your self, we didnt sleep together last night" She informed him. "Coz that would be oh so terrible" Michael mocked. "It would've been" Tori nodded. "Please we've already done it, and you tell yourself there is nothing there for us anymore...your lying!" He nodded and smiled.
"Shut up and go back to sleep" Tori smiled as she stood up. "You know I only fall back to sleep in the morning if your here" He tapped the space next to him. "Michael, I'm serious" Tori turned to him. "I'm sorry. I forgot you have a new life, and a boyfriend" He made a face as he stood up. "He's not..." Tori began. "Have you told him? No. So he's still your boyfriend" Michael stared at her.
"Dont start. It's early" Tori sighed. "When do we ever stop?" Michael asked her. "Exactly! All we do is go round in circles, we dont go anywhere new. Fights, forgive, fun, sex, fights, forgive, fun, sex!" Tori repeated in a cycle.
They were disturbed by people walking down the stairs.
"I need coffee" Tori shook her head, and walked into the kitchen. "Dont run away" Michael followed her. "Shh!" Tori pointed to the door. "As if they dont know whats going on between us" Michael scoffed. "Shut up" Tori whispered.
"What you gonna?" Michael smiled. "Mikey" She narrowed her eyes. "You wanted to have sex last night. Like what we did before....sex, sex, sex..." He blabbed his mouth. "Shut up!" Tori flew forward, and wrapped his hand around his neck and shoved her hand to his mouth.
"Mmm!Mhm!" Michael muffled into Tori's hand. "Shhh!" She warned him.
"Sex, sex..." He moved his face away from her hand and called out. "Dont. FIGHT.....it Tori!" He gasped back, as he grabbed her waist. "Ah you fucker!" Tori squealed a little, as he dug his fingers into her sides and tickled her.
"Whats going on...?" Spencer walked into the kitchen, fully dressed with a smile on her face.
Tori and Michael stopped and turned to her.
"This ass...being an ass!" Tori nudged Michael. "She just cant keep her hands off me" He then winked, as he folded his arms. "You wish!" Tori then shoved him. "I know it!" Michael grabbed her again.
"Guys please, school days are over" Spencer smirked, as she walked over to the coffee machine.
"Whos screaming?" Hanna then walked into the kitchen, in maxi skirt and a crop top. "These two school kids" Spencer giggled, making Hanna smile as she shook her head. "Why am I not surprised?" Hanna asked herself. "Let go of me" Tori looked up at Michael. "Your the one holding onto my shirt" Michael smirked.
Tori cleared her throat, as she let go of the fabric from her hands. Michael let go of her arm, and they stood apart as the front door opened and closed.
"Oh my god! Crazed people are in here!" Hanna gasped as she ran to Spencer. "What?" Tori and Spencer looked at her. "Do you mean, our people?" Michael scoffed, as she shook his head and folded his arms.
Just then Ashton walked into the kitchen, with two bags on one arm and holding two coffee cup holders with cups sitting in them. A smile on his face, and a smallish fedora on his head.
"Everything okay?" He asked, one he saw Hanna looking scared for her life. "Everything is fine, she's just over reacting" Spencer sighed, as she pushed Hanna away from her side. "Im sorry, I didnt know anyone was out. I just heard the door open...it couldve been anyone!" Hanna told them wide eyed.
"Well I come bearing breakfast" Ashton smiled putting down the coffee cups, and then the bags. "Some muffins, cereal breakfast packs, help yourselves" He nodded. "Oh thank you" Spencer nodded. "As for the coffee, this one is the guys and me and this one is for the girl. Now let me see if I got this right." Ashton smiled, taking out the coffee cups.
"Strong black coffee for Spencer...caramel macchiato with no extra sugar for Hanna...and that leave a vanilla latte for Tori" He smiled handing them out to them. "Oh thank you." Spencer smiled. "Impressive, thanks" Hanna nodded. "Yeah, you remember" Tori smiled as she took her cup. "Thank you" She told him.
"Ah of course!" Ashton grinned. "Look at him, being the coffee boss" Michael mocked a little with a smile. "As always" Ashton nodded, before he sipped his own coffee cup.
"I smell food." Calum appeared in the kitchen, with sweatpants and shirtless. Spencer smiled, as Hanna stared. "Cool tats, your growing a collection now" Hanna nodded as she looked at the ones across his chest and down his left arm.
"Thanks" He chuckled a little gravelly. "Coffee and breakfast" Ashton handed him a cup, and a bag. "Hm, whats for eating?" He asked, peering in the bag.
"Are we doing anything today...or...?" Hanna asked. "Dont know yet, we could." Ashton smiled. "What though?" Calum sighed, he looked through the paper bag.
"We'll think of something..." Michael nodded, as he sipped coffee.
"Um, I got a call from Karina this morning." Tori looked at the girls. "Oh, about what?" Hanna asked. "It was about my writing. She says she has no concern and she was just checking up. I missed her calls, so she left a voicemail" Tori nodded.
"Are you still writing about...yours truly?" Calum grinned, as he held a hand under his chin. Tori laughed a little, as she sipped some coffee. "I'm not writing about you guys, I'm writing about traveling" Tori corrected him. "Yeah, but your also writing about the band..." Michael looked at her.
"I'm writing, what I have strong feelings for. Thats all you need to know" Tori told them nodding. "You'll do great. No worries" Ashton smiled widely at her. "Thanks, Ash" She nodded with a smile.
