FEAR ▷ Denis Stoff

seven

The next day it was slightly raining as I woke. Denis was still laying next to me on his phone.

"Good morning." I yawned.

He jumped slightly at the sound of my voice, "Mornin'."

I sat up slowly to avoid becoming dizzy.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Just after noon, why?" Denis responded.

I groaned, "I'm supposed to be waking up at nine everyday."

"You're on a vacation so it's okay."

"I just like having control of how long I sleep."

"That's understandable."

I untangled myself from Denis and swung my feet off the bed.

"I promised Kassidy that we could spend today together, so let's go." I looked back at him.

"Where are we going?" He chuckled.

"Grandma said that there was a movie theater nearby and to go there."

"Sweet. Some more cliche shit."

"Yeah, but Kassidy is going to be there so it doesn't count." I laughed and pulled on my jeans from yesterday.

Denis rolled over to me and pushed us both off the bed. I squeaked as we landed on the floor.

"What was that for?" I pouted.

"I don't really know." He grinned, "You look cute when you wake up in the morning."

I couldn't help but blush.

"You're going to be the death of me." I picked myself up.

"Well, I feel very honored to have that privilege."

I flipped him off and took my shirt into the bathroom. I unballed it to see eggs dripping out of it.

"Denis, what the fuck?" I called.

"What?" He was outside the door instantly.

I opened it and showed him the shirt. He started laughing.

"This isn't funny." I fumed, "It's my favorite shirt."

"I didn't do that!" Denis exclaimed.

"Who the hell did?"

"Ben was here earlier. I didn't know he was putting eggs in your shirt." He shrugged.

I groaned, "That little cunt."

"You can always go shirtless."

"I'd rather flush my head down the toliet."

"Alright, alright. Just wear one of mine." He chuckled.

Grandma was going to flip that I was wearing his shirt. Obviously, I was going to get Ben back for this.

"Here I have this hoodie and an old tank top. It's too small for me." Denis came back with the clothing.

I shut the door and threw both of them on. No matter how old the clothes were, they were still going to hang off of me.

"Ready to go?" I asked when I opened the door again.

Just as I expected, Grandma was near tears when we arrived at her house. She was convinced she was the best matchmaker there was.

"What'd you do last night?" Kassidy asked us as her and Denis sat with me in the room I was staying in.

"Well, we got to my apartment and Sam had tried making cookies and really messed it up so there was goo all over the walls. I don't really know how it ended up there. Then Ben and James' girlfriends stopped by because they were out shopping. We made a fort and then threw eggs at Ben which was your sisters idea. Then her and Ben made cookies while we watched a movie and then we went to sleep." Denis retold last night.

Kassidy was laughing by the end of it, "That sounds like fun."

"It was." I nodded, also laughing a bit.

"How about we play a little joke on Ben to get him back for your shirt?" Denis suggested.

"What exactly did you have in mind?" I looked at him.

"Well..."

We stood back from the hotel door as Kassidy walked up to it. It was going to be very interesting.

She knocked on the door, practically bouncing with excitement. The door swung opened and she screamed. Ben tried to step back but she ran and jumped on him, causing them both to fall to the floor.

"I think it's our cue so she doesn't get hurt." Denis was laughing.

We both walked casually to the door where Ben was trying to get her off.

"Hmm, can't handle a thirteen year old?" Denis was looking down at him.

I was clutching Denis' hand trying not to lose my valence because I was laughing so hard. Tears were streaming down my face.

"Fuck you guys." Ben couldn't help but laugh.

Kassidy jumped off of him, finally and Denis gave her a high five.

"Wait, so our room number didn't get leaked?" Ben clarified as he sat up.

I shook my head, still laughing quite a bit.

"No mate, just Sofia getting back at you for the eggs in her shirt." Denis couldn't stop laughing as well.

"You threw eggs at me. I had to get my revenge!" He yelled.

"This is my revenge for that!" I grinned.

"This means war." He declared.

I shrugged and stepped over him. Behind me, I heard the door close meaning Denis had joined me. Kassidy was sitting on one of the beds next to Sam. They were both excitedly talking about my cookies.

"Grandma made cookies." I threw the bag at Sam and he eagerly caught it.

"It may have been only a day, but do you know that I love you." I thought he was going to start crying.

Kassidy and him took the cookies out and started munching on them. I took a seat next to Ciara, smiling at her.

"It's nice to see you again. The only girl I've seen all day was Brandi and it's nice to not be locked in a room full of idiots." She let out a laugh as all the guys protested.

"Don't worry. I've been stuck with one all day too." I agreed.

"I'm a literal pile of sunshine and rainbows." Denis shook his head.

"Whatever you want to believe, Hansel." I rolled my eyes.

"I am hurt." He wiped a fake tear.

I stuck my tongue out at him. I noticed Kassidy was in the corner and she couldn't stop smiling. She must've been in heaven right now.

"I have another idea..." Denis looked at everyone.

Great.
