Harries Trouble

Chapter 7

I woke up to a light snore behind my back. I looked around and noticed I was in my bedroom. I turned around and saw Jack shirtless, sleeping on his back, his arm draped over his chest, the other wrapped around my shoulder. I giggled quietly as I watched him sleep. He suddenly stopped snoring and turned to his side, facing me and moaned into the pillow. "Stop staring at me." He said and I laughed lightly.

"What happened last night?" I asked not remembering a single thing. "We were watching The Notebook and you fell asleep on my shoulder. I didn't want to wake you up so I took you to your bedroom. Then I fell asleep with you." He said in a raspy morning voice.

"I see." I replied, nodding and felt my cheeks heat up. i just realized that i was sleeping in bed with Jack. I started to get out of bed alarmingly. "Don't go." Jack said and put his arm around my waist dragging me back into bed. "But I'm hungry!" I whine, making an excuse while trying to squirm out of his grasp. His grip tightened even more as I tried to escape. "Jack!" I squealed. "I need to eat something." I said. "Just stay for a few minutes, okay?" he said into his pillow, his eyes still closed shut. "Okay." I say in defeat and slump back into my pillow. He put his arms around me and we stayed like that.

Half an hour later I was in the kitchen cooking up pancakes while Jack took a shower in the separate bathroom. I was humming a bit while cooking breakfast. I felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around my waist. I jumped and turned around to see Jack smiling down at me. I remembered when he did that the first time he came over. I hadn't noticed that the shower water stopped running. I smiled back and went back to cooking, Jack still having his arms around me, his head on my shoulder.

"Good morning," Jack said in his husky morning voice, pulling me closer to his body, hugging me tighter. "Good morning." I yawn. "Breakfast is ready," I say, putting the last pancake onto the plate, mounted with other pancakes. I grab the plate and put it on the table and grabbed out 2 more from the cupboard. I placed them on the table and grabbed the forks, knives, maple syrup and butter. "It smells great already." Jack smiled.

After our breakfast was devoured, Jack decided to call his friends to come over since we were bored and wanted to do something exciting.

An hour later people started to come over. I laid out some food and drinks so they wouldn't starve or faint from lack of hydration. "Hi, I'm Zoe!" One of the girls said introducing herself. She was beautiful with her brown hair which ombré'd into blonde at the tips. Her blue eyes were beautiful as well. Her voice bubbly and cheerful. "Hi, I'm Claire." I say reaching in for a hug. She hugged back. It's gonna be great having a girl around to have girl talk. For the first time I actually feel like I belong.

Later on I found out that the other girl's name was Louise and the guy's names were Marcus, Caspar, Alfie, and Finn. Finn looked just like Jack but with a more defined cheekbone. "How's it going, babe? Did you meet everybody?" Jack asked while sitting beside me. "It's good and yeah I've met everybody." I answered, smiling.

I was about to say something but was interrupted by Caspar yelling out "Who wants to play spin the bottle?" A bunch of "Yeah's" and "Ok's" filled the room and we sat down in a circle, around an empty plastic bottle of sprite.
