If Not Now, When? // Book 1

Chapter 24: Mar 22

Chapter 24: March 22

I woke up, still intertwined with Sheldon. I was having Livia over tonight so I had to tidy my bedroom a little bit. We got dressed and went out for breakfast, I just made toast with Vegemite and cheese on it for each of us.

We caught the bus to school, I got the folders again and we walked to my locker. I dropped off each folder on each teachers desk and went back to put my bag away. I closed my locker, and turned around, Sheldon kissed me, I nearly dropped my books on impact, I wasn't expecting it. The bell went, so Sheldon went to care group. Although I saw him again in period 1 during English.

(LIVIA'S POV)

During English, we went through Act 4, Scenes 1 & 2. Once again, Sheldon and Michaela were Romeo and Juliet. My fucking god, I think I died at that moment. At that point, I'm pretty sure I accidentally screamed, and I got told off by Miss. Schumer. After those two scenes were done, we had to do the questions. That took up the rest of the period. Period 2 I had economics, but all we did was work on our assignment, I finished it halfway through so I started looking at pictures of Sprousehart.

During recess, I was with Kat. I put my books in my locker, turned around and kissed him. He pushed me backwards, kissing me even harder. I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting my hands drape over his back. We had to stop after someone walked in on us, though. We walked out to Michaela and Sheldon who were at the canteen putting in a lunch order.

"Okay, what did you two do?" Michaela asked with a cheeky smile on her face. I remained quiet until Kat decided to speak up.

"Someone walked in on us kissing in the locker bay. How can you tell?"

"Livia looks very... happy, that's all." She smirked. I hadn't realised yet how much I was grinning. We headed off to our regular spot, the ramp to first aid. I don't know why we hang out there, but we do.

School finished early today, so I went back to Michaela's house. Sheldon had gone home already and Shannon had gone to Kat's house, her parents weren't back from work yet, so we were home alone. For what I'm pretty sure is the 3rd time, we watched Riverdale again, and Michaela managed to get me into Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I don't know how, but she did.

We had hot chocolates and biscuits for afternoon tea.

"I had Sheldon over last night." She said.

"Seriously? Oh my god, did you do it?" I asked, taking a sip from my drink.

"No, but we were close to it..."

"If you said yes, I probably would've died, I'm not ready for Shechaela babies. As much as I want you two to have kids."

"Me neither. I don't need the stress of kids in my life."

"You know what we should do? We should have a group sleepover. You, me, Sheldon, Kat and Shannon, if he wants to join." I suggested.

"Why does Shannon have to be there?"

"Because he's friends with Kat. Don't be mean."

"Until I see you not being mean to Steph, I'm not stopping shit." She laughed.

We got through a few more episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine before Michaela's parents came back with dinner. Michaela and Shannon had to help them make it, ('it' was chicken parmagianas) and I overheard them talking about something.

"In the morning, your mother and I are leaving for the city because we have a small business trip that lasts for few days. I need you and Shannon to take care of the house. Can you do that for me?"

Michaela nodded her head. "Anything specific we have to do?"

"Nope, we have everything sorted. You will have to get your own dinner though." Her mum said.

"That's fine, it's better than having to deal with Shannon's shitty cooking."

"Hey! I can cook!"

"No. You really can't, Shan."

"Shut up, I have a basic knowledge of cooking."

"Then you can make your own dinner."

"I will." Shannon crossed his arms, annoyed with his sister.

"Both of you, stop fighting. We will call regularly to check up on you. If you invite people over, please don't set the house on fire."

"Don't worry we'll be fine."

Once they were done cooking, Michaela came back down with two plates, one for her and one for me. She un-paused Nine-Nine and we ate dinner.

"Remember, you two need to go to bed soon, it's a school night!" We heard from the dining room.

"We will!" Michaela shouted back.

We finished season 2 and went to Michaela's room.

"Tell me you guys slept together at least." I said.

"Yeah, we didn't even bother touching the mattress I set up."

She laughed. "You guys are so cute, honestly, it almost makes me rethink my relationship with Kat."

"Look, you guys are just as cute together. I feel like you two complete each other. Like a puzzle."

"Pshh, nah."

"Seriously. If we have another sleepover, I'm making you two sleep in the same bed."

"That's a bad idea and you know why."

We talked for a little longer before actually going to sleep. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. I need the weekend. I need to sleep for the whole weekend, honestly.
