Together Forever

Chapter 4

Avril's POV
      I wake up and I'm met with rays of light playfully dancing on my face through the open curtains.Wait,open curtains?!,I never sleep with my curtains open.I used to like it but Drake preferred it closed so I'm kind of use to it now.Many things I've changed because of Drake but now we're no longer together,I can do the things I always wanted to do.Maybe all this cheating,breaking up stuff was for the best afterall.I groan,turn my back to the curtain,adjust my duvet and try to get back to sleep.Since my shift was at night,I could sleep in for as long as I wanted.I think I might have had too much to drink because my head was pounding like the biggest carnival of all times was happening in it.I have a feeling my skull might crack soon.I don't even remember walking to my bed last night,or did I?I try to remember the events of the previous night and I do or maybe I don't.I can't really tell,there are too many blank spaces.
       A girl ran towards the man carrying me.
      "My God,what the hell happened?" She asked.It was Britty.
        "She came to the club with her friend and her friend left her to a guy that tried to assault her" he answered disgustedly.
     "I went to the toilet"She frowns "I do not owe you an explanation, hand her over,I'll take her from here" She said as I jerked.The man placed me down,I think he guessed I was about to puke and he guessed right.His hood fell and hurriedly put it back over his head.
     "Oh my God!!!"Britty exclaimed.He put his index finger over his lips and she nodded excitedly.Carrying me up,he says "You wouldn't even be able to carry her.Just give me her address,i'ld get her home".
      "Don't you dare hurt her,if you do,I'll find you,make your life miserable and then kill you".She threatened and must I say,it sounded really convincing.He chuckled "Go ahead,she's in good hands,I promise".She gave him a last glare and then walked away leaving me in the care of a total STRANGER!!!.
     Oh my!,I'll so much kill Britty for this.How could she?I pushed my duvet off me,stepped down from the bed and picked my toothbrush from my suitcase (i still hadn't unpacked).I walked into the bathroom,put the paste and began brushing.I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I cringed at the sight.Just then did it occur to me that the clothes on me weren't the same as that of last night.My God!I didn't do anything with that stranger,did I?I had only a sweatshirt on.Okay,so its mine but that doesn't guarantee anything,does it?My throat suddenly started feeling dry so I rinsed my mouth and went downstairs to the kitchen to get water.I picked a bottle from the fridge and pour the water into the cup I found on the counter.I gulp it down as I hear my stomach grumble in protest.Just great!I woke up with the worst headache ever and now hunger? "I'm never drinking that much again" I say to myself. I walk to the cabinet so I can fix myself a cereal breakfast,that's because I'm way too tired to cook myself a real meal.After a little struggle,I open the cabinet only too see that the cereal is at the top and I groan.How the hell does Britty get to this thing?Just because she's a bit taller than average and mostly on heels doesnt mean she should put everybody who's not through stress.Okay now,I've totally lost it,I'm talking to myself.My train of thoughts is broken by a hand creeping up my hand.
    "Holy Jesus!"I exclaim putting my hands on my chest letting go of the cup which crashed to the floor and broke into pieces.I turn to face the owner of the hand who happened to be noone other than Justin,as he apologized.
"I'm so sorry,I didn't mean to scare you,I went upstairs to check if you were up and to tell I made breakfast but I met your room empty.On getting here,I saw you struggling to take that,so I decided to help"He explained apologetically.You see!,this is exactly why you should never rent a big apartment.if it wasn't so big,he would have passed the same way I passed when coming downstairs and I would have known I was not alone in the house.I opened my mouth to answer but my words got stuck in my throat and instead my eyes wandered from his beautiful lips to his very masculine jawline then his solid chest visible from underneath his grey T-shirt.He cleared his throat snapping me out of my trance and then I realized that my mouth was still agape so I just said "Oh!".He came closer and when I felt the heat of his body against mine,my leg went jelly and gave way but he held me up by the waist.I felt heat rush to my face and I prayed he did not see me blush.
    "You must still be very shocked".He said with a smirk amusingly plastered to his face and he handed me the cereal. That's why he came closer?to pick the cereal?I thought he wanted to.....wait what did I think he wanted to do?
    "Thanks" I said collecting it and giving a small smile.I walked round him and said"I'll go clean that up".I walked out of the kitchen and let out a breathe I never even knew I was holding.I pick up the vacuum cleaner,went back to the kitchen and cleaned out the glass.As I was about walking out,I noticed his eyes trail down my body,resting on my legs for a bit before going back up and then I remembered I still was wearing only the sweatshirt!Thank God,its long enough to cover my butts.It was Drake's first fraternity T-shirt.I liked it so I loved wearing it alot especially in the morning,it was so comfy.When he got a new one, he gave me this.
     "I already set the table for your breakfast,I'll get going now" he said standing and adjusting the imaginary rumples on his pants.
     "Wait,you wouldn't mind joining me for breakfast, would you?I don't eat much,I'm sure you cooked more than enough".I said turning to face him.he put his hands in the front pocket of his jeans making his muscles flex.
  "I mean,I would appreciate it if you stay,if you're not busy that is".I added.I know I sounded really desperate but I'd be alone till evening with absolutely nothing to do and that was the last thing I needed.
    "I'd love to" he answered.
   "Great,I'll just go put on pants" I said.His eyes flitted down to my legs for seconds before he said "okay".
