♬♪ My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine.♪♬

I rub my eyes as I was awaken by an upbeat song. I know it's Lauren who's responsible for this again. I open my eyes and furrowed my brows as  I heard the faint sound of some chopping coming from the kitchen. I lay still for a moment and I realize I had a blanket wrapped around me. So I really fell asleep here on the couch last night? I got up and rotated my neck trying to give it a stretch as I walk towards the kitchen. I found Lauren chopping some onions while swaying to the rhythm of the music, I cleared my throat to get her attention and she smiled shyly at me clearly embarrassed of her dance steps earlier. Haha!

"Yo."

I said casually as I sit on a chair in front of her.

"Good morning, I guess you had a good night sleep ey?"

She said clearly teasing me.  I scoff as I run my fingers through my hair.

"Your method of lulling me to sleep sucks."

She raise her right eye brow in response as she grab some garlic and started peeling it.

"Oh really? That's the reason why you were drooling like a tired dog last night?"

Ok I did not see that coming. I felt my cheeks heating up because of what she said and I cleared my throat trying to shrug it off and stay cool about it as much as possible.

"That's definitely a lie I don't drool!"

She responded with a short laugh before putting the knife down and look at me.

"Yes you do! You're even snoring while drooling.  I found it cute so I took a video of it last night."

My ears vibrated because of what she said that I slam the table with my left hand.

"You what?!"

She was startled for a moment but then her expression went back to normal as she gave me a smirk.

"I took a video of you snoring while drooling last night. How much money do you think I could get if I would sell it to the reporters from class B?"

Hoho! Is she threatening me now?!

"Don't you dare Lauren."

She scoff as she started to saute  the garlic and the onion giving a mouth watering scent across the room.

"You better start being a good boy now Cloudy."

She raise her brows twice still with a sly smile on her face while mixing the ingredients on the pan.

"You're a trickster. "

She gave me a short laugh before pouring the chicken meat into the pan creating a steaming sound.

"I ain't a trickster,  I'm just clever."
