Facing Death (FINISHED)

Chapter-13

Waking up the next morning was like having a mini heart attack. I felt a weight on my waist even before I opened my eyes, confusing me. When I did open them, I seen I was in my room, lit by the morning sun, my books for school laying around, a pack of cigarettes that Ash probably left, and an arm tightly rapped around my waist-

Wait, what now?!

My heart rate quickened as I followed the arm to find a beautifully, sound asleep, topless, Ash. I panicked, because I couldn't remember anything about last night, so I lifted the covers up too see....that I had on shorts and a tank while he had shorts on as well. I sighed in relief, relaxing back into the bed, when Ash's hold got tighter and he pulled me basically into his chest.

Chuckling, I laid my head on his shoulder, and ended up almost dozing off when I heard the front door open followed by my Mom's voice. "Sweetie? We're home!"

They had went on a business trip for only a day right after me and Ash left for the dance/ball. I saw the note on the counter next to a box of chocolates, saying they would be home tomorrow evening. I guess tomorrow evening, meant today's morning.

"Ash!" I whisper shout. "Wake up." He stirs but nothing else happened, so I smacked his chest. Still nothing. Finally, I twisted his nipple. His eyes flew open and he stared at me for three seconds before giving me a glare and a confused look, which together looked really cute. "My parents just came home! You have to go!"

"Shit," he muttered. He got up and started getting his things together. I handed him his phone while he put his cloths in a bag. He was still shirtless, and I couldn't help but admire his upper body, making me blush and look away. "I'll txt you before I come over today. Because, I am coming over, I still have to meet your dad. I'll txt when I'm outside. Bye. I Love you."

"I love you too," I blushed. He started to go out the window with his stuff but stopped at the last second and ran back to the bed. I gave him a questioning look before he pecked my lips and basically jumped out the window the same moment Mom walked in. She looked around and I almost peed myself when I noticed the cigarettes still on my desk. Ash had gave me one to try and I eventually got the hang of it, so he said he would give me that pack, but I didn't have the time to hide them obviously.

"How was your trip?" I asked so she'd sit and talk, maybe not notice them.

"Oh Italy was amazing! I wish I could have brought you sweetie, maybe even staid there!" She laughed. I smiled at her. "But I brought you back something. Well, two somethings."

First she pulled out a chess piece, like the cover of the book Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. It was clear like it was made of glass, and on the bottom it said something in Italian, that roughly translated to, 'Check & Mate'. I laughed. The second thing was a necklace. It had the Eiffel Tower on it in black, with very small diamonds on it. The Eiffel Tower isn't in Italy, it's in France's but it was still very pretty. Italy. I've always wanted to live there, with a family. I knew a lot of Italian because I want to go, but Italian isn't a class I can take for a foreign language. It's either Spanish or French. I chose Spanish.

"I felt bad that we couldn't take you, but I took a lot of pictures of everything, so it wouldn't be to bad..." She trailed off. "I should have asked for a third ticket, I'm so stupid!"

"Mum, it's okay."

"Really? You sure...?"

"Really, I'm sure," I chuckle. "I don't want to go until the time is right. Besides, I'm not gonna go alone! That would just be depressing." We both chuckled. She leaned over and kissed my head before telling me she would make us breakfast. She was to the door and I thought she was going to leave, but she stopped right at my door, and my heart dropped.
