Finally 18 (girlxgirl)

Chapter 29

I wake up the next morning feeling warm and cozy and cuddly and perfect.

I slowly open my eyes and find myself in the living room. There's a blanket over me, and behind me, on the couch, lies Alex, her arm wrapped around my waist.

..what?

Did we fall asleep during the movie last night?

..did we spoon like this all night?

DID ETHAN SEE?

I turn to look at Alex. She looks perfect, but she has a slight frown on her face. Why does she have a frown on her face?

I slowly stand up, removing Alex's arm from my wasit, trying not to wake her up. I stand and walk to my bedroom, looking for Ethan. He sits on the bed watching his favorite morning cartoon, The Fairly OddParents.

"Morning, babe," I smile at him.

"Morning," he smiles back. "Alex still asleep?"

"Yeah, she won't be up for awhile. She likes to sleep in on weekdays," I say.

"Does that mean I can kiss you?"

"Of course it does," I smile.

"C'mere then," he smiles back.

"No, you c'mere," I say, opening my arms.

He chuckles and stands, walking over to me. He wraps his arms around my waist as I put mine around his neck. "What a-" I start before he picks me up and carries me over to the bed.

"Put me down!" I laugh as he tosses me on the bed, hovering over me and pressing his lips against mine. This lasts awhile.

"Mm, I love you," Ethan whispers against my lips.

There's a knock on the open door. I quickly look up and see Alex standing there, watching us.

"..Alex," I say.

"Sorry to interrupt. I was just wondering where the towels were."

"Ohh, uhh.." I get up from the bed and walk to the linen closet in our bathroom and grab a towel and a rag. I walk to the door and hand them to Alex.

"Thanks," she smirks, turning and walking away.

I slowly turn back to Ethan. "..I'm gonna go clean up..make some breakfast."

"..ok. Cann we have pancakes?"

"You guys can, I'm not hungry."

"Alright..I love you."

"I love you too," I smile, walking to the door. "Heyy..did you put a blanket on Alex and I last night?"

"Yeah, you guys looked so comfortable, I decided not to wake you."

"..ohh."

"You guys are pretty good friends, huh?"

"..more than you'll ever know," I slightly smile.

He chuckles as I walk out into the living room, quickly putting away all our shit from last night, putting the pillows back up where they go. When I'm done, I walk into Alex's guest room in the back, which is still empty.

"Need something?"

I turn to face Alex. Of course she had to come out right when I was in here. Of course she had to come in after her shower. Of course she had to be standing in front of me wrapped in only a towel.

"..I was just coming to see if you still like chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and Nutella."

"You can make those now?" she asks, grabbing clothes outta her bag.
