Who Said I Didn't Know You?

Chapter 4

The midday bright sun woke me up, rays shining through my open curtains and straight into a my sensitive eyes. A violent thumping was present in my head and my throat was so dry I knew speaking would be a challenge. Despite this the most prominent thing I could feel with a large soft arm curled around my waist touching a small amount of skin.. I slowly registered the fact that my legs were entwined with someone else’s as I subconsciously snuggled back into the person I was curved into. The light warm breath on the back of my neck and the soft masculine cinnamon and citrus scent that surrounded me offered comfort as I let out a deep sigh.

"Oh my god!" I shouted sitting up right when my brain realised it was not a normal occurrence for there to be someone in my bed; especially someone who smelt like Parker. Parker's face moved from a gentle pouty look of sleep, to wide eyes of surprise and finally to a large grin, clearly amused by the shocked look on my face.

"Oh hey Issy" He smiled before sitting up and leaning casually against my head board. At that moment a million thoughts raced through my mind.

Oh my god how did Parker and I end up in the same bed?...I'm never drinking again...I'm going to kill Kyle...Scrap that I'm going to kill myself...Actually Gabe will probably kill me before I have a chance...I'm dreading how loud Lane's going to scream when I tell her about this...No one should look this good in the morning Parker!...I must look like such crap...God Issy why do you even care it's just Park-

"Issy?" Parker sang waving his hand in front of my face "You okay?"

"Um...Yea" I manage to mumble as I pulled myself away from my thoughts.

"Hungover?" He chuckled slightly as he stretched.

"Yea"

"Do you remember last night?" Parker asked curiously with a slight smirk "You were quite drunk, I didn't think you had it in you"

"Yea kinda" I said quietly fighting the urge to grumble Unfortunately as I moved off the bed. The realisation of how wrong it would look and how much trouble I'd be in if Gabe came in right now started to set in as I moved off the bed. Though Gabe complained about me being shy I knew he was grateful for it especially when it came to boys; my brother literally could not fathom the idea of me with a boy, even one he was as close to like Parker. Chagrin rushed to my cheeks as hazy memories of the night before came to me. Me getting stupidly drunk, me throwing up everywhere, Parker having to hold my hair back and holding me as I sobbed like a baby. At the last memory of Parker having to carry me to bed and undress me the embarrassment became all too much. Grabbing my dressing gown I quickly chucked it on in order to cover Parker's t-shirt, my cheeks flaming red as I fled my room.

"Issy! Wait!" Parker shouted grabbing my wrist as we came to a standstill in my landing. "You're not going to be all awkward about this are you?" He asked as I gently moved my wrist from his grasp.

"I-"

"The thing is I was thinking about how weird it is that everyone in our families gets on except us I think we should be friends" He said casual with a shrug.

"Parker I don't know" I mumbled quietly.

"Look Issy I get th-"

"Excuse me" A soft voice said. Parker and I turned to see a girl coming out of Gabe's room clutching her heels and a bag her make-up smeared. He hair was tangled and the tight dress that clung to her body was inside out. She was the definition of a mess."I was just wondering where the bathroom is?"

"Er just over there" I said kindly pointing down the landing, feeling a little sorry for her.

"Thanks" She smiled her cheeks bright with embarrassment. A second later Gabe exited his room, arms spread wide before rubbing his bare chest. He grinned when he saw us.
