Chapter 7: She's in his house

     Leslie stretched her arms out with a yawn as she woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside. Her hair was in a bed state, completely messy, her half asleep eyes falling to her alarm clock.

     "9:25 am..." She read out quietly. She looked around her room, looking at the writings on it. Oh yeah... That's right. I'm back.
A small and faint smile appeared on her lips. She got out of bed and went over to the window to look outside. She pulled it up to open it, sticking her head out to feel the cool fresh air.

     Once the cold wind hit her skin, a very satisfied smile grew on her lips as she closed her eyes to feel everything around her. After a moment of peace and quietness, she opened her blue eyes and looked over to the Aarons's house, basically Jess's room.

     "Maybe he's still sleeping..." She mumbled to herself, seeing that the lights were still off in his room. After a while of watching the window she found herself to be feeling creepy so she stepped back and took a breath before going to her closet to get a new set of clothes to wear for today.

     As soon as she finished making her bed and tidying herself up, she slowly crept down the stairs and headed to the kitchen to have her breakfast.

     "Hey honey," she heard Judy's voice as she entered the living room, finding her mother sitting on the couch, drinking a cup of coffee while Bill was in the kitchen, making breakfast. "Good morning!"

     "Morning Judy, Bill." Leslie chirped as she went over to hug her before going to the kitchen and hugging Bill behind.
"So did you sleep well?" Bill asked her with a chuckle as she took her seat behind the dining table, waiting for her breakfast to be done.

     "It was okay I guess." She shrugged her shoulders. Bill set her plate on the table and then went over to the living room to give Judy's hers. "The bed was really comfy!" She showed a goofy grin.

     "So is Jess coming over today?" Judy came to the kitchen with her breakfast and her coffee in her hands. She took a seat opposite to Leslie and started eating her breakfast.

     "Yeah," she said, stuffing in the pan cakes in her mouth. "He said he would." She continued after swallowing her food.
The rest of their breakfast was lively and chatty, with laughter filling up the the table.

     "So what'd you do with Leslie yesterday?" May Belle excitedly asked her brother as their family ate their breakfast.
"We went to..." He showed her the look, giving a grin. He couldn't let their parents know about it, ever. It was just his, May Belle's and of course, Leslie's place.

     "So I'm guessing that Leslie girl is looking pretty," said Ellie, pouring Joyce Ann some milk in her bowl. "It was pretty clear that she'd turn into a beauty when we saw her."
Brenda nodded her head along with a grin.

     Jess chocked on his own food, going into fits of cough, making him drink his glass of water finished.

     "Ooo Mommy! Jess is choking!" Joyce Ann pointed at his brother with a giggle.

     "Jess, eat your food properly," his mother said, patting her son's back before handling her children's finished dishes and going to the sink to wash them. "You're going to Leslie's later right?"

     "Yeah," Jess laid his head down on the wooden table. "I can right?"

     "Sure." Said his mother.
