How it crumbles

The Next Morning

I had fallen asleep and woke up a few hours later. I had to pee. I went to move and felt a weight on my side. Then it hit me... I looked down to see the girl of my dreams laying beside me. I smiled. I gently snuck out from under her before lifting her and carrying her to my bed, Setting her down softly. She rustled a bit before finally dozing back off. I walked out the door and I walked into the living room where Dad and Mike were both passed out on the couch controllers in there hands. I smiled and walked to the bathroom and closed the door. I returned out a few moments later after washing my hands and went to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle and walked back to my room. I took a sip as I passed the living room and capped it as I entered the room to where Bailey was laying. I contemplated getting into the bed with her. But decided it would be best not to. So I grabbed a pillow and a comforter laying the down on the floor right next to the bed. It was just the mattress on the floor so I wasn't much lower than her. I was looking at the ceiling trying to fall asleep but couldn't. Not ever since my mother left. 

"I thought you were never going  to leave." A voice said which made me jump.

"What do you mean?" I asked as she turned herself and  and laid next to me facing me.

"You put me on the bed... then you left.." She said saddened.

"I went pee. I wasn't leaving." I said as she itched her nose.

"Well why did you lay on the floor and not with me?" She asked scooting closer.. as if it were possible.

"Well I didn't know if you wanted me to. I mean I didn't know..." She placed her finger to my lips and I stopped talking.

"Just hold me goofus." She said and smiled. She turned herself so she was facing the opposite direction and I covered us with the blanket in which she burried herself in then slid one arm under her head and one over her waist, In which she held my hands and we slowly drifted off. A few hours later I awoke to something whacking me in the head.

"Wake up dude." He swung again but this time he left it on my head. Which covered Bailey's as well for hers wasn't far from mine. Mike walked around and sat on the bed and looked down at me.

"And why are you on the floor? Jon?"

"Hm?" I squeaked out as I shuffled some before trying to move my legs but I couldn't.. It was like they were tangled.. In which they were... With Baileys.

"Wheres Bailey and why are you.." He thought for a second.

"Shut up Mike Im sleeping." She said to him and I smiled tightening my grip on her.

"Shh." I told him.

"She's sleeping." She nuzzled into my chest.

"So Should I leave you two be?" He said with a smile on his face. I threw the pillow and hit him in the face. He got up and walked out closing the door.

"Im sorry for that..." I said with a small frown before she poked her head out and pecked my lips with her own.

"I have been awake for a while now." I looked at her and blushed.

"You've been awake? How long?" I asked concerned.

"About two hours..." She said innocently

"Bailey.. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You looked adorable... I got up and went to the bathroom and came back already. I thought Id let you sleep. Your Dad told me that you don't sleep much... And that he's never seen you so hap..."

"When did you talk to Dad?" I asked her.

"At about 6-6:30. He offered me a cup of coffee and a conversation before he left. And I accepted.

"What did he tell you?" I was slightly afraid.. Only because Dad LOVES to embarrass me.

"Only that you don't sleep much... How he's never seen you sleep so peacefully since your Mom left."

"Yeah... It's been a while. You didn't have to stay the night. I would've walked you home." She smiled and laid her head facing me.

"And leave you by yourself? C'mon.. let's go back to bed?" she asked and I was going to say no... But she pulled me down before I could even say yes.

"Jon?" She placed her head on the pillow and her arm upon mine. 

"Whats up?" I asked and she nuzzled.

"How are your ribs?" She asked.

"They feel amazing.. Why?" She smirked.

"Oh, no reason." She smiled and pecked my cheek which made me face her.

"Bailey? Tell me." She smiled and kissed my nose which made me blush.

"Or what?" She pried and I started tickling her sides before  she bursted out in laughter.

"Stop! Haha Stop!" She begged as she was being tickled. I did as she asked.

"Tell me then." I poked her belly button.

"I was going to ask if you'd like to go outside for a while... Its going to rain later." She looked at me softly and smiled.

"Like right now? But its so... Early and Im hungry." She pouted her bottom lip. I couldn't help but smile at  how adorable it was.

"What about breakfast then Me you and Mike Will go to the park and play basketball?" She asked and I looked at her shaking my had intensely.

"Nope. No basketball. NOT Happening." Just then Mike poked his head in.

"No basketball Bailey. And Jon theres food out here." I hopped up and extended a hand to Bailey in which she took and stood.

"Wait.. Why no basketball?" I was halfway through the living room before I went back and grabbed her hand leading her to the kitchen.

"Want some eggs and toast?" I asked trying to get her off the topic.

"Not until you tell me why no basketball." She crossed her arms.

"Because we are not wusses thats why." I said putting eggs on my plate with two pieces of toast taking a bite of a piece.

"Jon plays Lacrosse... And Football, And Baseball. And I the same. All very brutal sports correct?"He added to what I said. She nodded and He started making a plate.

"Well. We prefer sports that require contact in a regular manner... We are brutal people and can take one hell of a beating.. Just like Ithan did yesterday. If precious little Derrick were to get his ass handed to him like that... He'd be in the hospital pressing charges." Mike explained

"So you guys don't like basketball because its not brutal enough?" She asked.

"Precisely. Now make a plate." I said agreeing to everything that was said.

"So wanna go play football after then?" She asked making a plate and sitting next to me.

"Yes we will go and play football after." Mike agreed. and we sat in ate our food for a while. Before someone finally broke the silence, I looked over at Bailey and smiled before looking down to eat more of my own food. And as I sat there... I realized something very big, Something that kept running around in the back of my head...

"Im going to marry this girl..." I thought over and over again as I sat there and ate
