The Bad Boy Effect

Chapter 26: I Thought I Was Being A Sneaky Ninja

I wake up feeling extremely warm. The sun is in my face, although it doesn't hurt as much as it should because something is blocking it. There's a few seconds of time where I forget where I am and who I'm with. And then I remember last night and I grin stupidly.

Although that grin fades quickly because I find myself in a sticky situation. I have to go pee and the bed is against the wall. I slowly steady myself on my elbow. I either wait for Arran to wake up or I somehow crawl over him. I debate which one would be more embarrassing. Me peeing the bed or him waking up with me on top of him.

Even though it's tempting to sit here and wait, I know that I really need to go. So, with what dignity I have left, I slowly balance myself on my forearm by one side of his head and quickly set my other forearm on the other side so I am now face to face with him. I try and keep my butt in the air so I'm not touching him but my legs are on either side of him and I'm about ready to fall.

I straighten myself softly and feel my face redden as I realize how this may look. I quietly pray to god that Arran doesn't wake up at this exact moment. After a few moments of his breathing still being a steady calm rhythm, I know he's asleep and I execute the rest of my plan.

I push with my right forearm and leg and soon I am balancing on my left forearm and leg. I sigh with relief until I realize a bit too late that I'm going to fall. I shriek as I fall backwards and land with a slight whoomph. I sit there and cover my mouth for a moment, waiting for any kind of stirring to come from the bed. Once I decide it's safe, I quickly crawl to the bathroom and close the door behind me.

Once I've finished, I peek out from behind the door. Arran is still sleeping so I quietly sneak back to the bedside and do the same technique I did the first time. As I silently roll off and sigh in triumph. He has no clue.

Or so I thought.

He opens his gray eyes and starts to chuckle. "If you wanted to straddle me, you should have said so. I would of happily obliged."

I feel my face redden and I hide them in my hands. "I didn't know you were awake! I would have asked you to move or something. I had to go pee."

He laughs quietly. "Well I was asleep until I felt my girlfriend on top of me."

My face is beat red right now and I hide it in the pillow. "I thought I was being a stealthy ninja."

I feel his hand rub my back. "Don't worry. Not everyone can be as stealthy as me."

I'm about to ask him what he means when all of a sudden I'm pulled to his chest and his lips are on mine. My eyes flutter closed and I feel myself grin into the kiss. What a way to wake up. As I pull away, I realize he's not wearing his sweatshirt. Or his shirt.

He's completely naked from the waist up. I feel my face blush a little and he laughs. "You're so innocent, shorty."

"Shut up!" I say, unable to hide my laughter. "There's still a lot of things you don't know about me, Mr. Miller."

He chuckles. "I fully intend to find out."

I roll my eyes and slap him softly on the chest. "Move. I think everyone is awake downstairs."

We make our way down, fully dressed, to find everyone is talking as if they never went to bed.

"Okay, okay," Tony says as he holds his hands up. "What about that one chick, uh what was her name? Oh right. What about Mackenzie Boyd?"

"Which one was that? Justin asks.
