A/N: I don't particularly like this chapter, but I'm gonna publish it anyways because it moves the story along and I dont know what else to do.
I woke up before everyone and quietly walked into the kitchen. I turned on my Pandora and heard Fight for Me from Heathers. I hummed quietly and danced along to the music.
I started grabbing pancake makings and bacon. I made breakfast for everyone, fanning the smell over to the living room because I knew the smell of food would eventually set off a chain reaction of people waking up. I was buttering some pancakes when I felt a pair of arms slide around my torso.
"Morning. How'd you sleep?" I said to James, turning around to face him as I asked and taking out my earbuds.
"Pretty good, considering I slept on a chair."
"I offered you a place in the bed. I might have slept in the chair if you had slept in the bed."
"Ugh. You guys are disgusting. Just fuck already."
"Lovely to hear your voice in the morning, Winter. How's your hangover?" I said, moving away from James and back over to the stove.
"Horrible. How do you not have one?"
"I drank water. Lots of it. I don't think you even opened the bottles I gave you. I always tell you to drink water and you never listen. I also never have a hangover and you always do. Maybe you should start listening."
"Ugh. Fine, mom." Winter said, grabbing a pancake and some bacon as Louise came into the kitchen, followed by Jess.
"How's Alex? Is he up yet?" I was cut off by a moan of pain from the living room. "I'll take that as a yes. Here take these with you. He's gonna need them." I said, handing two aspirins to Jess, who was carrying a plate of pancakes and bacon along with the waters.
"Here Louise, you'll want some too. You know, if you drank water at the bar or club or here at home like I tell you too, none of you would wake up with hangovers, possibly with the exception of Alex. I dont know how many drinks he had." I said, flipping the pancakes and bacon from the stove onto plates.
"Jesus, will you shut up?" Louise insisted.
"I second that." Came from Winter.
"Fine. I'll be quiet." I put my earbuds back in and kept dancing to Heathers while getting food and taking it back to my room.
I sat on my bed and grabbed my laptop from my bedside table. I opened it up and put in the password. I drilled around for a little while in my files, looking for movies to watch. I finally decided on watching Heathers while I ate. I plugged my earbuds into my laptop and sat back onto my pillow.
I finished my food and was getting up to take my plate to the kitchen when there was a knock on my door. I walked over to the door and opened it, seeing Jess there in the doorway.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"Not much. Everyone in the living room is complaining about their hangovers except for James and they're really annoying so I thought I would come hang out with you."
"Oh. Cool. Come in, make yourself at home, I'll be right back. I dont want this plate in here or I'll forget about it and bad things will happen."
"Ok, I'll be here."
When I got back, Jess was sitting on my bed, reading a book from my shelf.
"I'm back. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to make sure that you know how much James likes you. He's head over heels, I swear. Won't stop talking about you. He's pretty fucking annoying if I say so myself."
"Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one annoying everyone around me. Thank you, Jess. I can always hope, but you know."
"Yeah. I know." He got up and left the room, James entering a minute later.
"What was that about?" He asks, gesturing behind him.
"How annoying we are. Nobody else can handle it." I grab the front of his shirt and drag him closer to me. "It's apparently a problem." I press my lips to his.
"Really? A problem? I had no idea. No clue." He says in between kisses.
"Close the door."
