Chapter 18

               Waking up the next morning with Xavier was nice. Nice as in one of the best things in the world, not to mention the thoughts of last night replaying in my mind. A smile spreads across my face as I look at Xavier's resting face, knowing he doesn't sleep. 

" Good Morning." He says quietly in a husky, very sexy sleepy voice. A blush covers my cheeks. Damn that voice. Why is he just so attractive?

" Good morning Xavier." I whisper and a small smile forms on his pink full, oh so kissable lips.

         It's official, sex and cuddles the morning after with Xavier are now my two favorite things. It's now that I realize I really need to pee but Xavier has his arms secured around my waist, keeping me snug against his side.

" Xavier, I need to pee." I state in a matter of fact tone.

            He laughs and let's me go and I run to my bathroom quickly. As soon as I'm there and standing still is when I realize how sore I am. My legs have a dull ache and my crotch area is in an awkward; well maybe the word I'm looking for is unfamiliar soreness.
  
          After doing my business, I go back to my room to find Xavier sitting upright on my bed with his pants on. I smile at the sight of him. Is this the feeling that people fantasize about? Because if it is, I understand why now. It's amazing, all the happiness that just rushes through you as you look at someone who you love, knowing they feel the same is even better.

" Would you like me to take you out for some pancakes?" He asks, slipping his shoes on. I can't help the giggle that is mes from my mouth.

" For a vampire you're so adorably normal." I say with a smile. He laughs with a nod.

"Yeah." He laughs.

" And to answer your question, yes. I would very much like for you to take me out for pancakes." I answer with a smile.

            He goes to his place to get ready, which happens to be a small apartment on the other side of town. While he's getting ready at his place I'm getting ready here. Once I'm dressed with my phone and purse in my hands, I'm ready to go. Mom and dads figure come into sight as I bounce down the steps into the living room.

" Hey." I sing happily and they look towards me with a smile.

" You made quite a racket last night." My dad says awkwardly making my face heat up immediately and my mom slap his arm automatically.

" Honey! I told you not to say anything." My mom bickers. A nervous giggle sounds from me causing them to laugh.

" Well.. I... Yeah." I stutter shyly. This is awkward... I thought they were gone last night, they most have came back while I was...uh... preoccupied with Xavier. "Y'all heard?" I ask nervously.

" Yes. Did you two use protection? I'm too young to be a grandma ya know." My mom states in an amused voice, obviously knowing how embarrassing this is for me.

" Yes." I say blushing shyly. This is awkward but I'm glad they're not upset? " Are you mad about it?...." I ask nervously.

They both shake their head.

" We knew it'd happen eventually... And plus we trust Xavier and we already know how you both feel about each other." My dad says. I nod.

" Well...Uh, I'm going-" I get cut off by the doorbell. My mom and dad give each other a glance with a smirk.

" Xavier?" Mom asks and I nod, blusing.

" We're going to go get pancakes." I say with a nervous giggle. They laugh and nod for me to go.

" Stay safe! We love you!"

           They call in union as I go out the door. I see Xavier's smirking face and another blush covers my fave. If I keep blushing like this I'm going to have a permanent blush on my face.

" So they know." He laughs and I shut the door behind me and we go to the car.

" Yes." I say shyly, starting the car.

" Well that's good." He smiles, buckling up. I laugh, raising an eyebrow at him.

" Good?" I ask. He nods with a laugh.

" Yes." He replies.

" Well." I laugh and pull out of the driveway, heading towards the nearest Ihop.

           We stay quiet for a few minutes, just lost in our own thoughts. The nearest ihop is about twenty minutes away and I honestly can't wait til we get there.

" How are you feeling today my dear?" He asks glancing towards me.

" I'm doing good... Was a little sore, but I'm great. And you?" I ask smiling. He smirks in triumph.

" I'm doing very well." He grins, I nod.

" That's good." I reply.

          About ten minutes later we're pulling into the parking lot to ihop; after parking we get out and find a booth inside. The waitress comes over with a sweet smile and takes our orders. I get a coffee and mickey mouse pancake, while Xavier gets a coffee and the triple pankcake stack. Once it's ready the sweet waitress who's name is Susan, brings our food out and me and Xavier dig in. I smile when I see syrup on his lips and how his eyes light up as he looks at it, how a kid would look on Christmas morning.

" You're adorable." I say out loud without thinking. He smiles before saying;

" Says the one with the Mickey mouse pancake."

         He laughs. I just laugh and agree with him. What can I say? I like M&Ms with my pancake, plus it's Mickey mouse!
