Sky's the Limit

Chapter 12 (Alex)

I wake up holding John Laurens and honestly that is the best way to wake up. I smile and stretch hoping not to wake him. I stretch some more and get out of bed leaving my room to go clean my teeth. Once I come back to my room John is sitting up in my bed looking confused as hell. "Good morning" I laugh.

"Oh! Good morning!" He says after a moment. He rubs his eyes and gets up sighing. "Let's have breakfast."

"Okay," I say. We walk downstairs and have toaster waffles with syrup. Once we eat we hang out in the living room.

"When should I go home?" he asks

"Around three? I want to do a little more homework and stuff."

"Okay" he says and we continue to sit in silence. "So what do you want to do?"

"Uh I don't know. What do you want to do?" I ask

"Can we watch Lion King?"

"Yeah I still need to watch that. We should." I get up and put the movie on netflix. We sit and watch it. It's actually pretty good. I try to talk twice but John shushes me. Once the movie is over he looks at me really excitedly.

"Did you like it?" he asks.

In all honesty it was okay but I didn't like it that much but he looks really excited so I can't tell him. "Yeah! It was really good!" I say smiling. He smiles and looks really happy.

"Yay!" he exclaims. I kiss his head and stand up. "I'm going to text my mom now." he says and goes upstairs to retrieve his phone. I stand up and stretch. I go to the kitchen and clean up a bit. John comes into the kitchen and gives me a hug. "My mom says she's going to be here in like five minutes."

"Okay," I say and hug him back. "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah," he says into my head. We stand like that for a while until his phone beeps. He pulls away and checks it. "Oh she's here! I should get going." he says. I kiss him quick and he runs out. After I hear the door close I finish cleaning up. After an hour or so the house looks almost spotless. I smile and walk up to my room. I flop on my bed and take a nap.

I wake up a few hours later to the smell of spaghetti. I get out of bed and head downstairs. "Hey Alex, I made dinner. Come sit." I walk and sit with her at the table. "Aren't you going to get some?" I shake my head and she frowns.

"I already ate. Don't worry." she nods and eats. I sit at the table and watch her. She's so beautiful, I love her so much. "I'm going to go finish the rest of my homework and go to bed." I say standing up.

"Okay have fun. Love you." she says.

"Love you too." I walk upstairs into my room and take out my computer. I finish writing more. I'm surprised how much I can write about John. I have already wrote a page and a half about his eyes and at least three pages about his freckles. Honestly though I could go on and on about just his face and body, but what I really like about him is his personality. He is without a doubt beautiful. Wow. I love him. Shit.

I finish writing a bit more and take a quick shower. After my shower I go to bed falling into deep sleep.
