Amabelle Rose

Chapter 7

His scent fills my body as I take in a deep breath. I remember falling asleep on the couch with Austin cuddling with me after we ate food. Am I wearing his hoodie? I rub my eyes clearing up my vision, and look around the room trying to take in my surroundings. Yep, I am definitely wearing his hoodie, and I don't mind. I attempt to get up but there is something weighing me down, Austin's arm, of course. I manage to shift my body and wiggle out from his grasp without waking up the beast. When I stand up the grey sweater hangs all the way down to my knees making me feel very cozy and at home. I go into the bathroom to look at myself in his full-length mirror, damn I look good in his clothes. I hear noises coming my way, I close the door so he doesn't see me. He knocks and waits for a couple of seconds then walks away.

"Thank goodness," I say under my breath. Even though we are a thing now, I guess, I still don't want him to think I'm insecure. I don't know, I am just weird about that I guess. Anyway, I smooth out his sweater, ugh, I just can't get over how warm and cozy it is, I just love it. I turn around in his actually pretty neat, all white bathroom, and take a step closer to the door. My mind is racing with all of these happy thoughts. Wow, I don't know when the last time I was this happy, it's amazing honestly. I just can not believe that I am at his apartment, in his hoodie, and we aren't doing anything friend like but couple like. It is just so weird, yet amazing at the same time. I walk out of the bathroom and immediately look over at the clock on the stove.

"Oh shit, we're going to be late," I say frantically. "It's 10:00 a.m., and don't we both have to be at work by 10:30!" He just looked at me, and then over to the clock and back at me.

"Well, looks like we have to start getting ready," he says all casual. "Come on, chop chop, let's move!" I go into his room to grab my clothes when I notice that they are nowhere to be found. I go into the rest of his place, looking under every nook and cranny until I eventually just give up.

I go over to Austin's closet door, and raise my voice a little, "Hey Austin, have you seen my clothes?" He pulls the closet door open and steps out dressed in a very handsome suit.

He then smiles at me and says,"Oh, I threw them in the wash after you fell asleep, figuring that you would need them for, well, today." My mouth curls into the biggest smile this I have ever had and I throw my arms around his neck going all the way up on my tippy toes.

"Could you be any more perfect?" I laugh while my eyes fill with tears of pure happiness.

He hugs me back while kissing me on the head, and then leads me to the laundry room where I take out my clothes that are still a little warm. I go into the bathroom to put them back on, but today I wear rearrange them a little, so no one notices that I already wore this outfit the day before. I decided to roll up the bottoms of my jeans a few inches, and I pulled on some of the rips to make them look a little bit more worn and different. I also tied the cardigan around waist making sure to mostly cover up my mid-drift so I don't get in trouble by the manager. Man, he a real ass sometimes, but he is my boss. By the time I am completely ready, it has only been 10 minutes, so since it only takes 5 to 10 minutes to actually get to both of our workplaces, we just cuddle on the couch watching cute and/or funny Instagram videos for our final few minutes in the apartment. It is 10:18 a.m. when we walk out the door and climb into his car. During the ride, he takes one hand off the wheel to hold mine, and he drops me off to Phil's Diner for my serving shift today. Down the road from the diner, he walks into a huge skyscraper building, where he is a business intern. He absolutely loves it.
