I roll over onto my side, as my eyes slowly open. When everything comes into focus, I'm completely awake as I almost fall out of bed.
"Good morning." Riker says.
"Morning. I completely forgot you stayed over last night." I slightly laugh at myself, but quickly stop, because I realize he was just watching me sleep. "How long have you been up?"
"A while."
"How long's a 'while'?"
"Probably a half hour."
"And what have you been doing exactly?"
"Watching you."
"Oh God." I cover my face with my blanket, but peek out to speak again. "You do realize you sound like a creeper when you say that?"
"Now that I said it out loud, yeah." I cover my face again.
"At least you admit it." I say, but the sound is muffled because of the blanket. "What time is it?"
"A little after 9am." Just then I remember that Rydel and Kat are coming by at 10:30am.
"Crap, I need to get ready." I practically jump out of bed and start grabbing some clothes from my dresser and closet.
"For what?"
"Rydel and Kat will be here in like an hour."
"Then I should probably head out." He gets up, and I start making my bed. I have a little OCD, so if I don't make my bed before I do anything else, I feel completely off. I felt like a maniac right now rushing around. "Relax, you have time." Riker puts his hand on my shoulders.
"I know." I let out a breath.

Riker starts getting himself ready to leave, as I turn on the water in the shower so it's warm by the time I get in.
"I'll text you later." He says pulling me into a hug, then kisses the top of my head.
"Okay."
"Have fun today."
"Hopefully I will, I have no idea what we're doing." We say our goodbyes, and Riker leaves. I lock the door behind him, and practically run into the bathroom.

About 15 minutes later, I'm out of the bathroom and dressed, with my hair wrapped in a towel. I quickly blowdry my hair, and start my makeup while my straightener heats up. I'm done my makeup within 5 minutes, and start on my hair.

When I'm completely ready, it's just after 10am. My phone goes off, it's Kat.
"Hello?" I say answering.
"Hey, we're almost at your place."
"Okay, are you guys coming in, or am I just coming out?" I didn't know what we were doing, so I wasn't sure.
"We're going out."
"Do I need to bring anything?"
"Nope, just yourself. And we're pulling up now."
"Okay, I'll be out in a minute." We say our goodbyes, and hang up. I put my phone in my pocket, grab my keys and purse, and head out the door, locking it behind me.
