"Wake up sleepy head" i hear a soft voice in my ear along with the scent of honey mint, Cecren, i open my eyes to see Cecren and his unbrushed hair. Such a wonder how his hair gets better when less well maintenanced. 

"Fine im up" i say nudging him away and sitting up looking around his room, filled with a bunch of pictures of him and two other people, his mom and his... Brother? Or father? I take one off the wall examining it

"My father" i hear his voice out of the corner of my eye i can see him looking over my shoulder. A tear breaks from my eyes slowly announcing its arrival with sniffles and whimpers coming from my nose and mouth 

"Woah, did i say something?" he says laying his head on my shoulder wrapping his arms around my waist lifting me back onto the bed edge. Concern in his eyes as he wipes the tears from my eyes him being on his knees his head just a little shorter than me sitting on his bed

"N-no just memories bad memories" i say with a cracky voice as Cecren caresses me tightly in his big comfy arms. "Can we stay like this for today?" i ask him as my feelings sort of clear up.

"Of Course, Thia" he says picking me up as he sprawls out on the bed his back elevated for my comfort, i softly cling onto his shirt as im curled up in a ball being cradled in his arms and my head tucked in the crevasse of his chest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thia, i have to go make supper i'll bring it up here for you, Mk?" Cecren whispers in my ear in a very gentle voice i never thought he had.

"Mk" i say as he gets up setting me gently down on the bed and leaving his bedroom without shutting the door.

He comes back with a bowl of grits mixed with bacon, pepper, and lots of butter, just the way i like my grits. (Just so you know this is 3 month in with Amelithia's 3 year stay. I did not feel like adding in the school days) "Order up" Cecren says handing me the bowl while sitting next to me on the bed which jiggled , oh a waterbed i had no idea it was a waterbed. 

"Thanks" i say eating my grits with my head leaning up against Cecren's shoulder.

"No problem, princess" he says looking down at me and taking a lock of my hair and playing with it. "Doesn't your mom have blonde hair? Shouldn't you have blonde hair also, not brown" he says admiring my hair.

"Actually, no , maybe in a different situation i would have blonde hair except Luceali is not my mom"

"What?"

"Well... my actual mother died in the army as a medical nurse. Then my dad remarried to Luceali and then my dad, died of, well being m..murdered" i look up into his shocked eyes and he leans his face into my hair hugging me so tightly yet still letting me breath, i think.

"Why are you so huggy today?" i ask Cecren as i turn around in his arms our stomachs touching and our legs entwined in a mess.

"Because, I love you" He says the last part quiet and very fast.

"Hmm. What was that?"

"Uh- i.. I-"

"You , what? Love me?"

"Uh.. Y-" I take hold of his shirt pulling his face closer to mine and kissing him vigorously and rhythmically. 

"Wha? Mwelp, fruts woring twon?" I hear Cecren trying to say something but instead gives up and closes his eyes and joining in the fun.  

I pull back and let go of his shirt and a cherry tomato color flurries to my face. 

(This goes Cecren, Thia, Cecren)"Well...." "Crap" "that was awesome"

We both giggle as we lay side by side then our giggles break out into laughter as we sigh we look into eachothers eyes and we both realize that both our phones are ringing we answer our phone at the same time 

"WHAT!" we both scream into our phones. Ridiculous right?

"Impossible!" again we both blab into our phones in chorus.

My hands start shaking and my phone drops to the ground. I look over and blurrily i see Cecren's happy joy filled face, which makes me smile through my wall of tears. We hang up or phones almost at the same time me being first.

" This is amazing!" Cecren says at the exact time i say; "This is terrible!"

We both look at each other "What happened?" he says laying down and placing his head in my lap 

"You go first" i offer to him which he takes gladly

"My mom beat her cancer" he says as he looks into my tear glaze eyes and furrowed brows

"My mom got eaten by a shark" i say very fast closing my eyes and four tears roll down my face dropping onto Cecren's shoulder sleeve  

"Oh" he sits up and hugs me gently yet tight and i cry on his shoulder, for about 2 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Great valentines day! I have the joy of rejecting guys who used to bully me!" (8 months in and Cecren still has not asked Amelithia out on a date) I look over to see Cecren's face filled with anxious worry. "Whats got you all beat up gonna ask somebody to the valentine's prom?" i bumb him with my hip.

"Maybe" he says

"Short answer so your asking someone out huh, weirdo i don't see the point don't people just dance at the school dance they shouldn't just be dancing with one person" I tell him and his face flushes with  a pink rose color

"Yeah i guess" as he walks me to our lockers i see something poking out of my locker when i get there i pull the piece of paper out

"Aww" i say not noticing that Cecren had left the crime scene. I try finding him "Nowhere to be found, very sly Cecren" I open the janitor's closet and find Cecren hiding in it pretending to read a book.
