Clarie's pov

The buzzing sound of my phone on my bedside table tore me out of my sleep
For a moment of semi unconsciousness I thought it was the end of our days

I placed my hand on the table and moved it around till my hand found a familiar object

I picked it up without looking at the screen
"hello" I said with my sleepy voice and my head buried in my pillow

"your are still in bed" the voice exclaimed

"what... I'm I supposed to be out fighting war" I said rolling over and realised Ashley was in a video call with me

"we need to get ready for tonight Clarie" she said before I picked my phone up to my face

"Ashley it's a school dance not prom or the Grammy's" I groaned

"I know but-" she was too shocked to say what she wanted to say as soon as my face appeared on the screen
"your hair!" she examined

"what! What's wrong with my hair" I said touching it frantically

"it needs serious attention
A lot of attention and taking care of"

Sigh
"you scared me... Ashley my hair is fine"

"no it's not... It's a total disaster and we need to get it all fixed immediately"
Ok she said it I better go shower and get ready for her arrival

"it's not like it's that bad"

" I think I'll have to cut it"

"what!
I'm not cutting my hair Ashley"

"but it's too long"

"I'll rather stay home tonight than cut my hair"

"OK fine I won't cut it... Gotta go bye" she said with a wink
That girl is weird

I drop my phone on the bed side table and manage to get some sleep
Thanks to the cold that almost froze me on my bed despite my closed windows and the heater on I had to get up from my bed all shaky and head straight for the bathroom

I'm going to make the water extra hot today. . .

I got downstairs and was welcomed immediately by the smell of freshly cooked food. That has been happening since Laura came.
I sat at the kitchen table and picked a muffin "good morning Laura" I said with the creamy muffin in my mouth

"morning" she said taking a peek at me before turning back to the pot she has on the gas stove

"there's something different about you today" I said... She looks happier than usual

"you think" she turned around with a big grin on her face

"I know so, you are extra happy" I said licking my fingers like a child
Her smile widened "well would you tell me or keep me in suspense"

As she was about to that's when Sam came into the kitchen "and what are you two skimming" he said before kissing me on my head

"nothing don't be silly" Laura waved him off "here have some muffins"

I gave Laura a look "well"

"well what" Sam asked so oblivious that he just interrupted our discussion

"ding dong"

The door bell sounded

Sigh

She is here
At least she used the bell this time
