IT'S JUST A PRANK!!!

| Kids - OneRepublic |

I woke to sunlight filtering through a gap in the curtains. Dust danced through the light, swirling like snowflakes. I could feel Simon behind me, his arm wrapped round my waist. My heart stuttered, and I gently turned in his arms to face him. Why was I in bed with Simon?

As I became more awake, memories of the previous night floated into my mind. Oh my gosh. What must he think of me? I shouldn't have fallen asleep in his bed!

Panicked by my loud thoughts, I hoped Simon wouldn't wake to the sudden increase of my heartbeat.

Fortunately he was a heavy sleeper, and remained in the dream world as I settled back down, content to sleep some more. I watched Simon as he slept, a small smile tugging at his lips. His arms tightened about me, pulling me closer into him. I let him, leaning my head on his arm, tucked under his chin. A piece of his chest has become exposed, the neck of his shirt pulled down.

I slowly raised a finger, watching him in case he woke up. He might think it strange I was watching him sleep. He didn't wake as I touched his chest, drawing a light pattern over his skin. I drew swirls, birds flying into the sunset, a smiley face. My eyes flicked up as he shifted again, rolling his shoulder towards mine. He mumbled something, his head flopping close to mine. I dropped my hand down and rested my head against his chest. Was it weird that I was sleeping with one of my best friends? Was it weird that I adored one of my best friends in a way I couldn't understand? I'd never felt this way about another human being, and I wasn't sure what to do. Perhaps I should tell someone, tell the gorgeous boy sleeping next to me.
Ever since I met him, I felt a pull within me. Simon made my heart pound whenever he smiled at me, he could make me laugh when I was down. He made me feel safe, appreciated, wanted. I closed my eyes, content with where I was right now. In his arms. I was scared, and I would never admit it. What if he only felt sorry for me? What if he never returned my feelings?

I sighed, before drifting of into a troubled sleep.

When I woke up again, I was alone. I sighed, knowing I had been living in a dream well out of my reach. I should've known better than get attached to one of the boys in such a way. I'd be leaving soon, back to New Zealand anyway if I couldn't secure a proper contract at work. Speaking of jobs, if I wanted to keep mine, I had to get up.

Today was my first day back at the job. It was 11:23, and my shift starts at 12.

It was bad enough I requested a few weeks leave for LA. Being late on one of my few shifts would not bode well for me.

I cursed my forgetfulness as I leapt out of bed, zipping back to my own room before changing into my lifeguard uniform. Shit shit shit, I was going to be late. I grabbed my bag and a towel, thundering down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Morning!" I heard Josh call as I pulled the fridge open, grabbing one of the liquid breakfasts. This would have to do.

"Morning!" I yelled back, shutting the fridge. I wondered where Simon had gone. Why had he left so early?

"Don't you have work?"

I nodded, pulling up the couch seats. Where were my keys?

"Where's Simon and Vikk?" I asked, rolling my eyes as Josh's eyebrows disappeared up his forehead. Did he know something? Don't be silly, of course he does! Simon was getting shit from the boys for my presence last night. I blushed at the thought.

"They went out half a hour ago." Josh said as I kneeled on the floor, pushing his feet to the side to look under the couch.

"Cool." I replied, spotting the keys.
