After war

All burnt out?

I wake up the next morning in Reece's company. we are lying on the couch by the now burnt out fire.

I look up at the large clock above the fire place and stare. It was way past eight and if we didn't hurry up, we would be late for lessons.

"OH MY GOD!" I yell falling off the couch as a face appears in front of mine.

"Morning sunshine." says Alex way happier than I've seen her in the last three weeks.

"Uggggh." Reece groans as he shakes himself awake.

Not realising that Lexie was here he leans down to kiss me. I push him away and he looks up to see Alex.

"Oh hi! Um morning, Alex." he says awkwardly sitting bolt upright on the sofa.

he runs his hands through his ruffled hair and yawns.

I'm meanwhile still in my position the floor, realising this:

"Oh! I'm sorry I forgot you were down there." Alex says apologetically.

"Yeah." say sarcastically yawning obnoxiously as she pulls me up.

As me and Alex make our way to lessons, a hand grabs mine and pulls me into an empty charms classroom.

"HEY!" I yell thinking that a complete stranger had just forced me into a room with them.

"HEY!" Reece says in a comedic tone, before pulling me into a warm embrace.

I sigh taking in his lovely scent.

"How are you feeling?" he asks still holding me close.

"Oh I am feeling delightfully spiffing." I say in a dreamy tone.

"Right. I mean after last night you donut."

I pull away and stare into his dreamy emerald eyes.

"Better." I say looking down at the floor remembering what had happened that previous night.

He puts one hand on the side of my face and strokes it.

"We have to go to lessons." I say smiling weakly at him.

"Fine." he says in a stroppy tone. and holds the door for me as I walk out.

As I leave I stand on my tiptoes and kiss his cheek.

"thank you Reece. For ev
