Just the Usual High School Love

Chapter 21

I am woken up by the heavy beam of light shining through my window.

Wait that's not my window...it's Chad's. I forgot I stayed here. in fact I'm surprised I let him carry me all the way here and sleep on his couch.

I feel Chad's heavy breath on the back of my neck. 

Wait I'm in his bed, he's in his bed. Holy shit he doesn't have a shirt on.

I begin to slowly lose it but then my memory regains my slight consciousness from last night.

I don't want to wake Chad up so I just half sleep in his arms.

Every once in a while I will feel him wrap his arms tighter around me, or pull me closer to him, and snuggle into my neck.

I slowly run my fingers through his hair.

I see his eyes flutter open and I quickly stop touching his hair from embarassment.

"Goodmorning." he says in a raspy voice with a sleepy smile.

He turns me around and we are facing each other , no space between us, his strong arms around my back.

He kisses my forehead and I close my eyes.

I'm really happy yesterday was a Friday, or I would be jumping out of this bed and running back to my house for my clothes.

I hear his mother down stairs making breakfast. Now she is coming up the stairs and she opens the door before I even move.

"Oh...umm I'm sorry I should have knocked." pure red on her face "Um Ann I thought...? Well Chad I thought she was on the couch?" she asks backing just under the door frame.

Chad gets up and throws on a shirt and I shift in bed, luckily still wearing all my clothes.

"No I brought her up here." Chad says truthfully but shyly.

"Oh well you should have just told me. i am making breakfast. Come down when you two are ready."  she says with her best attempted smile.

"Well that was awkward." I say once his mother leaves and he chuckles, throws off his shirt again, closes the door and climbs back into bed.

He puts the covers over both our heads and pulls me into his arms again.

He kisses me and rolls me over on top of him, my legs around his hips, my forehead on his forehead.

"Where were we? When yesterday?" he says and pulls me closer to him.

Memories of yesterday flood my mind, pain strikes in my eyes and Chad notices.

Shit.

"i'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that, I didn't mean to bring it up!" he pleads.

I don't say anything. i just hug him and shove my head into his shoulder and neck. I sniffle a few times holding back any tears.

This past...what week? have been insane, i am not an extremely emotional person and this all started when Brendan was texting that mystery- Jenna. I am honestly glad  Chad asked me out and to the dance, I am glad no one will mistake me and Brendan dating without Chad smashing their face in.

I will admit i have always been slightly attracted to brendan but I never wanted to ruin our friendship so I never did anything to change it.

But now I don't think I ever will be again. i have Chad and he has Jenna...well if he even wants Jenna.

I push the thoughts of yesterday from my mind and hold my head back to look at Chad in his big blue eyes.

I kiss him hard on the lips and all memory of yesterday leaves my mind. I grab his shoulders and push him back down on the bed. i climb back on top of him and wrap my legs back around him.
