Lustrous

Chapter 37: Butterflies Bite

I turned over as the birds started chirping outside. It was just after six am and I was getting very annoyed at the sun for rising so damn early in the day. Didn't it know that this was still sleep time!

I snuggled my head further into the pillow, lifting Anthony's arm up and throwing it over my face to cover the small amount sun that was still hitting my eyes.

Anthony groaned and tried to take back his hand. "The suns too bright." I told him and tried to shove my head under his pillow.

"You're like an annoying dog." He groaned and turned over, taking his pillow with him.

"How would you know you won't even let me have a dog." I cuddled into his back trying to use his body as a sun block.

"The one time you actually want to cuddle is when you're hiding from the sun. Good to know babe."

"Shut up I'm trying to sleep." I smiled and snuggled further into him, my arms encircling his arm as I used him as a pillow.

I could myself about to drift off into a long and peaceful sleep when the phone started blaring. "You have got to be kidding me," I shoved my head further into the mattress like an ostrich did the ground. "How many times do I have to tell you to turn your phone off during sleep time!"

Anthony kicked me under the covers. "It's not my ring tone, you psychotic nut."

Oh. I combat rolled out of bed until my body was abruptly met with the carpeted floor. I felt around on the floor, feeling for my jeans from yesterday where my phone still remained in the pocket. Getting into the walk in robe I found my pants and quickly answered the call.

"What?"

"Skylar Martin?"

I quickly cleared my throat. "Yes, Hi, this is Sky."

There was a slight pause. "Hi Sky this is Debrafrom Vibe. You came in for an interview last week?"

"Yes I did." I confirmed.

"Were you still interested in the position?"

My heart paused mid beat. "Yes I am, very interested."

"Great, we'd like to offer it too."

"And I'd love to take it." I was holding my breath.

"Can you come by today and we can get you sorted?"

"Yeah that's fine."

"Great we'll see you there."

I hung up the phone, overwhelmed with the urge to jump around screaming in triumph, laugh, and possibly cry – I was still considering that one at the moment.

Getting up off the floor I ran back into the bedroom. "I got the job!" I screamed and jumped on the mattress, shaking the bed until Anthony finally woke up. "Can you believe it?! Me, they want me!"

Humanity is doomed.

Anthony groaned and put his hand over his head but I only jumped on the mattress again to make it all most impossible for him to keep the position.

Cursing, he reached up and grabbed my leg, pulling me down onto the bed so that I was sitting onto of him, straddling his stomach. I put my hands on his chest so that I didn't fall forward while I fixed my legs into a more comfortable position, curing in at his side.

"Congratulations babe." His voice was husky and rumpled from sleep. His eyes were still partly closed, his hair was a dark mess and a lazy smile stretched over his lips.
