Piercing Hearts (Len & John Pearce/Justice Crew Fanfic)

Chapter 8: Regality

* Lenny’s POV *

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be on cloud nine? Like you’re floating in the sky, and everything just feels so light and rewarding? As if you had just given a new life to start over.

That’s how I felt like once I opened my eyes, the sun radiating through the window as my hand served like a wall to stop it from blinding my eyesight. As I wandered around the room, I suddenly panicked, not remembering what happened last night.

White comforter went over my body and as I had peeked a bit, my shirt was off and so was my pants, leaving me in my boxers. Clothes that I remember wearing last night was scattered on the floor, but there was no sign I had some company over.

Frankly speaking, I have no idea how I went home either. Sitting up on my bed, my back resting on the headboard, I tried to relive any memories from last night, and had managed to come up with one – bumping into Bailey.

However, that was the only think I could recall. Any other things with Bailey were blurred out as if it would be a miracle I ended up my night with her, like this was just a huge dream, possibly the reason why I had a good sleep.

Shaking the thoughts in my head, I went off the bed, cleaning up my room, picking up my dirty clothes from last night and dropping them off at the hamper. Once I was done, I went out of the room, thankful that Justice Crew was off for the day. I don’t think I’d have enough confidence to see John right now. Plus this hangover was killing my head, mentally reminding myself not to drink as much as I had last night.

As I headed towards the kitchen to make up some breakfast, two beautiful heads greeted me as I literally jumped and stepped back as if I was seeing unwanted people in my apartment.

“Good morning, baby!” Bailey exclaimed as the other girl laughed, possibly at my reaction towards them.

“Aww cute, he doesn’t remember  a thing last night.” The other girl uttered as I stared at them with wide eyes. So it seems I had some company over, and not just one, but two lovely ladies.

How? Am I some superhero or something? What did I do to deserve this kind of treatment?

“This sucks, Bails.” The girl frowned. “He definitely remembers you, but he doesn’t remember me. When the mere fact, I was the one who got him home and then, I’m all in the background.” She explained, almost as if she was about to cry.

But I do know her, even if I don’t remember what happened last night. How in the world did I end up with Ava Wright in my own house? I must be some God. The girl who was known to not date ended up staying with me.

“Hi Ava.” I uttered as her frowns turned into smiles in an instant.

“And what were you saying earlier?” Bailey teased Ava, waving her hand off immediately as her hands covered her face, turning all red.

“Um-I-um...” She stuttered as I chuckled. “Would you like some breakfast? Come here, baby.” She called me, patting an empty seat near the counter as Bailey and Ava prepared me some.

“Wait… as much as I’d like to remember last night, my mind’s a complete blur.” I explained as they both giggled, which didn’t add on to the headache I was feeling. It was actually comforting, if I may add. “How did I end up with you two? And why do you two keep calling me baby?”

Bailey laughed. “You practically drowned yourself in alcohol last night and we didn’t want you to go home alone, so we decided to babysit you.”

“Thus, the explanation why we call you baby. You’re our big baby.” Ava smiled.

So they babysat me all night, I thought, as I was reminded of how I found myself with no clothes earlier. Well, in my boxers, but…
