The Black Swan

Chapter 14

Emma's POV
When I wake up in Killian's arms today, it's not because I'm well rested. It's because I remembered to set an alarm.

And no, it is not that god awful bird chirping one that's called Summit (in case you wanted to know.) This time I have chosen Waves. It's not very loud, and not nearly as obnoxious as the last one, but I still end up groaning and tightening my grip on Killian.

"Love as much as I want you to stay, you have to get up." I groan again and hide my face in his neck.

"But I don't wanna go to school! They force us to learn useless crap that will in no way help us in our lives, and sometimes they force feed us bologna!"

Yes, the bologna part is true. Cora occasionally makes that a punishment. And it's not the good kind of bologna, oh no, it's the cheap kind that's already two days after its expiration date when you buy it.

I feel a rumble and realize that Killian is trying not to laugh at me.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, it's just that you're acting like you're being sent to prison or something."

"Well it's true! I can't wait until I graduate, then I'll finally be able to go to a school that will actually benefit me."

I swing my arm around to grab my phone (finally) and reach success after about fifteen seconds of blindly touching the nightstand. I press on the home button to make it shut up. I yawn and rub the sleep from my eyes.

Killian gets out of bed and slips on some pajama pants,

"While you get ready for school, I'll make you breakfast. Sound like a fair compromise?" I nod and peck his cheek before he leaves to make whatever he's gonna make.

I get up and go to the bathroom. I'm shocked when I look in the mirror. I'm naked. Oh. Right. Sex. People tend to be naked when they have sex. Duh Emma!

I wash my face and brush my teeth (I don't think Killian will mind that I used his toothbrush) before I realize that my bag is by the front door somewhere.

I step out of the bathroom to go find it, but I ungracefully trip and fall face first. Well that hurt. Luckily I didn't make a sound (have no idea how that happened) so Killian doesn't have to know about my trip to klutz town.

Now what did I trip on? I roll my eyes when I see what it was. How fucking convenient! I went out to look for my bag, then tripped, and the thing I had tripped on was my bag!

Is there like a portal from somewhere around the entry to right outside Killian's bathroom? Whatever, I'll just change now.

Now what did past me pack for present me to wear? Purple skinny jeans. Ok, so far so good. Loose black t-shirt with a breast pocket. Not bad. And white high top converse. I like this outfit a lot.

Also if you didn't already know, I'm obsessed with converse. I have them in all styles and all colors.

I give myself a fishtail braid to the side and start on my makeup. I'm just gonna keep it simple. Eyeliner, mascara, and light pink lipgloss.

The lipgloss will probably wear off after breakfast, but who cares? I look in the mirror and sigh. I knew that Killian was gonna leave marks.

I take out my foundation and start covering the love bites with it. Success!

I pack my things up in my bag and head into the kitchen.

I set my bag down and come up from behind Killian. I wrap my arms around his waist and kiss his neck,
