Wonder in Underland

Chapter 9

A small sigh of relief floated from my lips as I flopped on the baby blue bed in the bedroom.

Dinner was finally over.

"That was...So. Awkward." I muttered to myself.

I let out a small breath while my eyelids began to close as I started to drift back to sleep, taking nice, deep, even breaths.

Much to my dismay, it was interrupted once more by that damned boy with the small blue spades tattoo under his eye.

I suddenly felt the bed dip down next to me as someone's breath hit my face.

"Alex..." he whispered as he lightly nudged me.

I fluttered my eyes until I could see clearly.

"Nope. Sleep time." I told him before I turned onto my right side.

A laugh erupted from behind me before I felt those familiar strong arms lift me off of the bed.

I immediately snapped my head to face his, accompanied by a glare so sharp it could cut a tree in half.

"Why can't you just let me sleep peacefully." I asked sarcastically.

He tittered once more before he started walking towards the bathroom.

"You still need a bath." He stated setting me on the marble countertop, my butt aching a bit from how hard it was.

He walked over to the huge bathtub and turned on the warm water, before sitting on the edge facing towards me.

"I don't wanna take a bath." I complained, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes with the tips of my fingers.

"Tough. You're dirty and you need to be cleaned." He retorted, his tone much like my mom's when I was six years old.

I rolled my eyes and looked at the mirror to my left.

Reflecting from the bright mirror was a blonde haired, green eyed boy atop the counter. But his normally messy blonde hair was even more messy, and I could see a faint dirt smudge on his left cheek.

Or is that his right cheek..?

I let out a sigh.

Chester turned around and reached a hand into the bathtub, which had filled up considerably fast in what only seemed like a minute or so.

He pulled it out and flicked the water off.

"It's good." He stated before he stood up.

His arms raised up as he proceeded to strip his jacket and shirt, revealing a skinny yet slightly toned body.

I couldn't help my pervy eyes from sticking to his beautiful skin and running up and down the nice curves of his torso.

Then...he reached down and pulled off his pants, revealing tight deep blue and black boxer-briefs.

My pinks were definitely cheek--I-I mean cheeks were definitely pink as I averted my gaze, slightly taken aback.

"Uh-um-Chester what are you doing?!" I panicked looking down at the nearby sink, avoiding the mirror in fear of seeing his reflection.

"Taking a bath, of course. What else does it look like?" He stated nonchalantly.

"But I thought I was...?" I mumbled.

"We both are." He responded, now right beside me.

My head swiveled towards him, my brow furrowed.
