Cupid's assistant

Chapter 7

I woke up to strong arms around me, I turn my head to see a sleeping Simon. He looked so peaceful that I didn't want to get up and wake him up. But after a while I felt pressure in my bladder. I need to pee, and I need to do it now! I slowly and carefully try to get out of Simon's arms but he pulled me back to him squeezing myself to him. But of course his arm had to be over where my bladder is, so when he squeezed me it did not help the situation. There is no way I can get up to pee without waking him up. I turn around in his arms and hit his face semi-hard. His eyes popped open and he shot up releasing his hold on me letting me get up to escape.

"SOPHIE WHAT THE HELL? WHY DID YOU SMACK ME?" He shouts holding his face.

"CAN'T TALK NOW I NEED TO PEE A RACE HORSE!" I yell back as I run into my bathroom.

When I come out of the bathroom feeling relieved I see that Simon has changed back into his clothes. I also noticed that he had a small red hand shaped red mark on his face. I walk over to him and take his chin and twisted his head so I could inspect his face. I then cup the part of his face that I slapped. "I didn't realize that I hit you that hard. I'm so sorry." I say feeling really bad.

"Its fine, it looks worse than it feels." He says and I give him a quizzical look. "Really Sophie it's fine." I take my hand off his cheek and start to walk away but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back to him. "Hey are you ok? Well obviously your not but are you better than last night."

"Yes much better. Thank you Si for staying with me last night." l say in a quiet voice.

"Sophie you don't need to thank me. I would do anything for you without expecting a thank you. I knew that you needed it and I was happy to do it for you." He says giving me a big hug. I hug him back wanting to say thank you but in his little speech he told me not to say thank him so I try to let my thanks to him be known in the hug.

"Ok let's stop with the mushy depressing stuff. Let's go down stairs and talk to Hannah then maybe we can invite the girls and Jacob over. Oh! We still need to call my dad and ask him if you can stay. Which will probably be a yes so we will have to go to your house and get your stuff specifically clothes. We have a lot to do today!" Simon laughs at me and nods then we run downstairs together and find a note on the counter. I pick it up and read it out loud.

"Dear sister, I have gone out with a few of the girls to go and hang out. I'm sorry to leave you alone today when I just got back home last night, I really wanted to catch up. I promise that I will be home by 10, you don't have to stay up and wait for me but if you choose to do so I'd be very happy. Oh and mom and dad called this morning, I told them that you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you up. They told me to tell you to call them when you get up. Love, Hannah. P.s. I would suggest that you call mom before dad to just get it out of the way but it's up to you."

Hannah is just like this, sometimes she acts distant and doesn't care then at other times she is very sweet and caring. It's weird and her actions always catch me off guard.

I sigh and went to pick up my cellphone that was charging on the kitchen counter, I dialed my mom's number and waited until I heard, "Hello this is Wendy Bennett, sorry I missed your call please leave a message and I'll give you a call back as soon as I can." I can't believe my luck! This barley

ever happens, I usually actually have to have a real conversation with my mom!

"Hey mom it's Sophie, Hannah said you wanted to talk to me. Just call me or text me back when ever you can. Bye," I say into the phone then hang up.

"Well aren't you lucky, your mom didn't answer. Someone up there must really love and pity you," Simon says leaning against the wall.

"Yeah it is probably her mother, well either that or she is doing some unspeakable things and couldn't come to the phone. "
