Chapter 14

This is such a long chapter. Buckle up and get ready for the ride XD

Chester's POV
I woke up that morning and went up to my room. My parents had left for work already and my siblings had left for school.

I opened the door and saw that Mike was still asleep. I smiled and leaned against the door frame slightly. I could definitely get used to seeing him like that. He was laying on his stomach with the blanket covering his lower half. He was shirtless which shocked me because I had never seen him shirtless. His back was tan and so smooth. I just wanted to run my hands across his back just once. His black hair was flat on his head from him wearing a hat the night before.

I would give anything to be able to wake up with him every morning and see his beautiful face right as I open my eyes. I sighed a little and walked further into the room. I opened my dresser to get some boxers and socks out. Then I went to my closet and got a t-shirt and some jeans.

My rustling must've woke him up because he started stiring in bed. He rolled over and sat up. I glanced over and smiled as he leaned up against the headboard and rubbed his eyes.

"Good morning Mike." I said. He smiled. "Morning Chester." He said. "Sleep well?" I asked. "I did. Did you?" He asked back. "Kinda." I said. "The couch is hard so it took me a while to get comfortable, but I slept well after that." "I'm sorry for taking over your bed... you should've made me sleep on the couch." I chuckled and shook my head.

"You're my guest. Plus I didn't think you'd want to sleep in the same room as my dad." I said. He chuckled and nodded. He got out of bed and slipped on his jeans and shirt from the night before. He put on his hat and his shoes too.

I went to the bathroom and changed into my clothes I had picked out. I walked out and walked back into my room. He was looking through a photo album that was on my dresser. It was all Polaroid pictures of mostly Ryan and my family.

He was smiling as he looked through them. He turned when he saw me come in. "I'm sorry... I didn't even ask to look..." He said. "It's okay. I don't mind." I said. "These are really good pictures. Did you take them?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. I love photography a lot. A couple years ago I got a camera for Christmas and started taking my own pictures. Ryan likes to be the center of attention so I usually take pictures of him. I basically have to beg Amir to let me take pictures of him." I said. Mike chuckled. "I also take pictures of my family and other things." I said. "There's barely any of yourself." He said. I shrugged. "I don't really like pictures of myself. That's why there's only a few of me."

"Everything you do is... so beautiful. It should be captured more." He said. I blushed and smiled. "Come on. Let me make you some breakfast and then I'll show you around." I said. He nodded and closed the photo album.

I led the way to the kitchen. He sat down at the table and I started making us some breakfast. I decided to make us some waffles and bacon.

I got down my Star Wars waffle maker and started making up some batter.

"I have that exact waffle maker." Mike said. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah. Star Wars is the best. What's your favorite movie out of the series?" He asked.

"Hmm... I said as I thought for a minute. I started pouring the batter into the maker as I thought. "The first three." I said. "Okay what first three? The first three that were made? Or the first three that come in the series?" He asked. "The first three in the series." I said. "WHAT?!" He yelled. I stopped pouring and looked at him with wide eyes.

"I guess you're not a fan of those?" I asked as I pressed down the waffle maker. "No!" He said. "I honestly don't know if I want to be in the same room as you anymore." He said. I just chuckled. "Those three are the best because you get to see Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader." "That's literally the only good thing about those movies." He said.
