I felt slumped and buzzed from last night.

My phone vibrated as I felt around for it on the bedside table,

I looked at the screen and it was 8:53 and I had 3 missed calls from my sister.

I sat up and realized I was only in my boxers.

I ran my hands through my hair and looked around,

Ava was next to me, passed out with her hair on her face.

I looked on the walls and saw polaroids and pictures of her, Jessica and I surrounded by christmas lights.

That's when I knew I was definitely in her room.

Jessica texted me as I scrolled through my phone;

Jess🤦🏾‍♀️💙: Tell Ava that I went home to do a few things and get ready then I'll be back.

I called Delaney to tell her I was safe at Ava's house and to tell my mom I was fine.

"Morning sleepyhead," She said with her raspy voice.

"Morning booger breath," I joked.

She threw a pillow at my back as I made a face at her.

She grinned and sat up to face me,

"Oh Jess wanted me to tell you that she'll be back later, she just went home to take care of a few things and to get ready," I said.

"Sounds good, are you hungry?" She asked.

"Very," I answered looking into her eyes.

"Let's make pancakes," She suggested.

"You got chocolate chips?" I asked.

"Of course," She answered.

—

"Derek stop!" she yelled out of laughter.

I tickled her even more till she fell on the floor, dying of laughter.

I gave up after I saw tears in her eyes,

"Alright now that I have pancake mix on me, what do we do?" I joked.

"Get the griddle and put butter in it while I add chocolate chips," she said.

I did as told before grabbing plates and pouring orange juice into some glasses for us,

—

"Damn, we make a good team," Ava said stuffing her face.

"I know we do," I laughed high fiving her.

"Anyways, it's Saturday. What do you want to do?" She asked.

fuck.

"Let's see a horror movie then binge watch a show all night," I suggested.

"I'm down," she said grabbing the plates.

"Then we officially have a fun day planned," I smiled.

"I can put your clothes in the washer if you'd like or Delaney can bring you a new pair?" She asked.

I texted my sister to drop off a clean pair of clothes for me.

—

I rinsed my hair as I heard knocking on the door,

"Yeah?" I yelled.

"I need to brush my teeth!" Ava yelled.

"It's unlocked!" I answered,

I rinsed the remaining shampoo out of my hair and turned off the water,

"Close your eyes real quick!" I said.

"Why?" She asked with a mouth full of toothpaste.

"Because I need to get out of the shower," I answered.

She spit her toothpaste out, "They're closed,"

I dried my hair and my face before wrapping the towel around my waist.

She cleaned her face off and looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Since when did you have a birthmark on your v-line?" She asked.

"Since I shaved because I am a man," I answered.

"Real men have balls, so grow a pair," she joked.

"If I didn't have any then how come I can do this," I said.

I lifted her up with her white towel still wrapped around her and kissed her minty breath.

"I guess you did grow a pair," she mumbled.

I set her down and smirked, "Yep and maybe you should grow some boobs, bird chest,"

"Been had a pair since 2nd grade," I said before dropping my towel down to my waist.

Derek looked at me then down at the ground.

I smiled to myself and turned in my heels to head to my closet.
