Still // g.d

.16.

I wake up, uncomfortable. I'm cold and I'm not exactly sure where I am or what's happening. I open my eyes and look around. The sun is just now starting to rise and I realize I'm still on the roof top.

I look to my left and find George passed out next to me. I don't really know what time it is, but I'm cold and my head hurts.

" George." I say shaking him lightly.

" hm.. fuck." He mumbles slowly waking up. " where are we?" He asks sitting up. He looks all sleepy and I think it's cute.

" we fell asleep up here. I'm cold. Wanna go to my bed?" I say standing up.

" yeah." He sighs and stands up as well.

We climb down the latter and are back on the ground now.

" what time is it?" George asks.

" hm, probably about 5 am. " I say stretching.

" damn. I've got practice at one. Don't wanna go." He says groaning.

" hm. Let's just go back to sleep. " I say walking around back to my apartment. I open the door and kick my shoes off.

I walk to my room, George following me. I slip off my leggings and my cardigan then climb into my bed. George follows stripping down to his boxers and joining me in my bed.

" still so cold." I say burying my face into the pillows. George doesn't say anything but pulls me close to him. I snuggle into his chest and almost instantly fall asleep. Georges body hear warms me up and I quickly fall into a deep sleep.

I awake again, this time to my dismay George is absent from my bed. I sit up and look around, and wonder why George wasn't here. I open my phone noticing that it was almost one. I also have a text from George.

Hey baby girl, had to go to band practice. I'll call you later. Xx

I smile at the name and proceed to get out of bed and take a shower.

Georges POV.

I felt bad having to leave Molly like that, but band duties called. I can't stop thinking about last night. We talked a lot, and it was interesting. Molly herself is interesting. She's so funny, and so laid back. She has these big dreams, and I wish she would see that she's capable of those things. I want her to be happy, and I want to make her happy.

" G! Cmon mate. What's your problem?" Matty asks standing in front of my drum set.

" what, nothin. " I say looking up, noticing Adam and Ross staring at me.

" you didn't count us in, you're like daydreaming." Adam says then tuning his guitar a bit.

" sorry, I'm about out of it today." I say

" who are you thinking about?" Matty asks me. I raise an eyebrow trying to play off like I wasn't just daydreaming about Molly. Also realizing how much matty knows me.

" what do you mean." I ask.

" psh. George I'm your best friend and I know you better than yourself. " he says. " anyway, playing pressure, cmon" matty says walking up to his microphone.

After rehearsal we always hang out for a bit, except Adam had a date, and Ross has a headache so they went to do there own thing.

" so mate, who were you thinking about earlier?" He asks passing me a beer.

" dunno what you're talking about." I say lighting a cigarette.

"Bullshit. Was it Molly?" He asks. I couldn't help but smile at the mention of her name.

" it was." He says also smiling. " you like this girl don't you?" He says taking a sip of his beer.

" yeah, lots. I slept over at her place last night. We actually went on the roof top of her building and fell asleep up there. Then we woke up and slept in her bed. But we talked a lot. I think it's safe to say I really like her." I say smiling taking to my friend.

" damn mate. Haven't seen you like a girl like this before. Not even Amanda." He says.

" I don't wanna talk about her. She's irrelevant." I say scratching the back of my head.

" she was a big part of your life, and you know she was. " he says.

" well she's not in my life anymore, and I don't wanna talk about it. " I say taking a sip of my beer.

" alright. So are you and Molly dating?" He asks.

" yeah, I properly asked her to be my girlfriend last night. " I say.

" Georges finally gotten a girlfriend! Holy shit!" He says laughing at me.

" yep. Jealous?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

" nah, not really. I'm not into the whole boyfriend girlfriend thing. I prefer to fuck and then never speak again." He says laying back in his chair and lighting a cigarette.

" someday you're going to find this girl and completely fall in love with her and I'll have to hear about it." I say smirking at him.

" whatever, mate. When do you plan on seeing Molly again?" He asks.

" I dunno. I'm gonna call her in a bit. Maybe ask if she wants to grab dinner." I say shrugging.

" me too. I wanna go." He says.

" you're gonna third wheel." He says.

" psh, I'm matty Healy. I've never third wheeled. Besides I'll find a fit waitress to flirt with. Bet I could get her to come home with me." He says taking a sip of his beer.

" you're so extra." I say " but if you do, I'll applaud you. " I say standing up. " gonna call Molly." I say stepping outside to ring her.

The phone rings about two times before she answers it.

" hello?" She says the sound of her voice making me smile.

" hey love. How are you?" I ask.

" fine, thanks. What about you?"

" pretty okay, and I'm sorry about having to leave like that. Let me make it up to you by dinner tonight?" I ask.

" dinner tonight?" She asks.

" yes ma'am. Only thing is matty will be there. I can make him stay home if you'd prefer." I say.

" no I don't mind. I'm up for dinner. When?" She asks.

" I'll pick you up at seven?" I ask.

" yeah, I'll be there." She says.

" alright, see you then love." I say and then hang up the phone. I walk back in and return to my previous spot.

" where are we going tonight?" Matty asks.

" I dunno. But you don't get to choose. You're lucky I'm letting you come along." I say taking a swig of my beer.

A/N I've been writing so much lately. I've written the past 3 chapters in two days. I love feeling productive. I usually write at school, and I haven't been able to do much reading because I have to read to kill a mocking bird for English and after I read like 3 chapters of it, it makes me not wanna read anymore. ANYWAY. Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying this book so far. I know I'm enjoying writing it. Much love. Until next chapter.
