Chapter Ten: Silent Night, Deadly Night

The sun rays peaked through the window curtains hitting my newly awaken eye. I squinted my eyes, letting my eyes adjust them to the light. Strong arms were wrapped around me bringing me closer to their chest. I closed my eyes letting myself bask in the warm and security, Sweetpea brings me. Turning to face him, I studied him, trying to memorize every feature on his smooth skin.

His mouth was slightly parted and I could hear the sounds of his soft breathing. The bottom lips slightly stuck out giving him a pouting look. His straight, raven hair covered his eyes, curling slightly at the ends. I ran my fingers through it, sweeping the hair away from his eyes making him shift and tighten his arms around me.

I watched as his thick, black eyelashes flustered opened showing his bright brown eyes. I swear his eyelashes can make any girl jealous. His eyes searched the room confused, but when his eyes found mine, it seems like everything snapped back. "What time is it?" He mumbled, huskily trying to keep his eyes open.

I tilted my head up, looking at the clock that was beside us. "It's 8:15." Damn it's still early. I turned back around, laying my head on his chest closing my eyes, trying to go back to sleep. Sweetpea pressed his lips on my forehead causing a full blown smile to appear on my lips. So much for going to sleep.

"Come on baby, we have to go help at the Whyte Wyrm."

My eyes flew open. Damn it. How could I forget what today was! I quickly untangled my feet from Sweetpea's and got up heading for the bedroom. My steps faltered as I remembered that I wasn't at my humble abode but at Sweetpea's. Ehh... I'll just take one of his long sleeve. It wouldn't be the first time I took his clothes.

I opened the his drawers, finding a simple blue long sleeve that looked a little too small for Sweetpea. I furrowed my eyes, examining the shirt, it looked clean enough. I pulled off my black long sleeve, slipping on the warm looking shirt. I ran to the restroom and my eyes widen.

My makeup from the previous night was all smeared making me look like a crazy person, some pieces of my hair fell out of my ponytail, sticking to my face. I wondered how Sweetpea contained his scream when he saw me. I turned on the water to the sink and clean my face getting most of the makeup off. My face now felt ten pounds lighter. I took my hair of the pony tail quickly brushing it out with my fingers as much as I could and put it up in a really messy bun with some strands framing my face.

I walked back out into the living room and searched the room for my white beat up converse. I looked around for Sweetpea but he wasn't around. Weird. I didn't see him enter is room.

"Sweets! Have you seen my converse?" I yelled looking under the couch. I heard a series of chuckles. I turned around sitting on my butt, playfully glaring at Sweetpea who was leaning against the door frame of the kitchen, fully dressed. Like how is this possible. I didn't even see him get change. Maybe he has superpowers that I don't know about?

"Babe, there by the door," He chuckled pointing at towards my shoe. I purred my lips looking down at the ground, feeling my face get warm. I got up and dusted the imaginary dust off myself and grabbed my shoe.
