In Love With My Best Friend

Chapter 23: Christmas

•April•

"Wake up its Christmas!" a voice shouts as I feel someone jumping around on the bed. I feel Kacey snuggle into me so I know that it's not her.

With a groan I finally open my eyes to see that Kate is happily jumping on our bed as she giggles. Kacey is still sleeping but I know that when she wakes up she won't be happy with our hyper friend. My eyes widen and I'm about to warn Kate when I feel Kacey begin to stir. She mutters and looks at Kate a few seconds.

"Kate! What the fuck are you doing?" the tiny brunette shouts as she sits up, fuming with anger.

Kate stops and just stares at Kacey not really knowing what to say.

"Hey, pretty, calm down." I say placing a kiss to her shoulder I try to get her to calm down. "Kate was just excited to wake us up for Christmas."

Kacey relaxes and turns to me. She smiles softly as she places a soft kiss to my cheek.

"I'm sorry Kate. You know I'm not really a morning person." Kacey apologizes sincerely as she turns to face the still shocked Kate.

Kate's brown eyes flicker between us several times. She seems to be studying both me and the tiny fighter. Finally her mouth drops open in shock before she points a finger at us accusingly.

"There is something going on between you two and I'm telling Clarity." Kate screams and jumps off our bed to dash into her and Clarity's room.

"Oh no." Kacey says turning to me. "We have to lock the door before Clarity comes to interrogate us."

Kacey runs to the door before I can stop her and actually locks it. She makes a mad dash back to the bed and hides under the blankets. She snuggles her head into my chest and finally quits moving once more. I laugh at the small brunette.

"I don't think that's going to work Kace. We have to talk to them at some point. I plan on being with you for a long time, so we might as well go ahead and talk to her." I say and I hear Kacey huff.

"Yeah but she's not going to attack you. She's going to yell at me though. You literally have nothing to worry about." the hazel eyed girl says.

Almost as soon as the words leave her mouth I hear a knocking at the door. Kacey jumps up and hides under the vacant bed in our room. I shake my head as the knocking continues.

"Kacey, April, open this door!" Clarity's voice shouts through our bedroom door.

I throw the covers away from my body and then make my way over to the door. Several noises of complaint come from Kacey's hiding place the closer I get to the door. I can't helped but be amused by the younger girls fear since I already know that Clarity approves of us.

I open the door to my tall blonde friend looking stern at first until she sees that its just me who answered the door. She smiles at me and looks into the room in search of Kacey. I grin when she looks at me questioningly and then I point under the vacant bed that Kacey has chosen as her safe haven for the moment.

Clarity smirks and then slowly approaches Kacey's hiding spot. She yanks the blankets up so that she can see Kacey's face as she glares at the smaller girl.

"Come out Parks, we need to have a chat." Clarity says affectively scaring the shit out of the short brunette.

With a loud sigh Kacey pulls herself from under the bed and takes a seat before turning to finally look Clarity in the eye.

"Okay Clarity, what is it that we need to have a chat about?" the younger girl asks trying to play it smooth.  Nice try Kacey but I know that you are freaking out and unfortunately so does our blonde friend.
