I Fell For You // J.G.

Emerson's POV

"When you wake up in the mornin', ayy
Mom's yellin' in your room
Like can I get 5 more minutes?"

I reach over and turn my alarm off. What even time is it? I check on my phone.

7am.

Oh yeah, it's Monday. I've got school today.

"Ems, you up?" I hear my mom coo from outside my bedroom door.

"Yes ma'am!" I groggily respond.

"Jack will be here in 30 minutes for you guys! Get moving sunshine!"

I hear her walk down the hall and ask my brother the same thing. If you can't tell, it's our first day back to school since spring break. We went to the Cayman Islands with the Gilinsky's. It was such a fun trip! We got home last night at 1:45am and I'm exhausted.

Anyway, I slowly but surely begin to get ready for school.

Once I'm ready, I skip down the steps only to be engulfed by the smell of bacon. I make my way to the kitchen and fix myself a plate.

"Thanks for breakfast, mom!" I yell.

"Of course" she responds.

I take a seat at the island and begin to eat my food. I began to think about how today would go and how excited I was to see my best friend, Avery, only to have my thoughts be interrupted by the front door opening followed by "Morning!" echoing through the house.

"Who might that be?" I say as a smile creeps onto my face.

"Me, who else would it have been, Ems?" he says making me smile even bigger.

He makes his way to the kitchen and sits in the seat next to me.

"I was going to ask how you slept last night. But by the looks of that smile, you're pretty well rested!" He says with a hint of amusement and sarcasm laced in his voice.

"I've just got a good feeling about today, that's all" I respond.

"Oh yeah?" he raises an eyebrow.

"Definitely" I say as a smirk slowly rises on my face.

I continue to eat and feel a gaze on me. I look up to see him staring at me.

"What are you looking at, weirdo?" I say looking right into his chocolate brown eyes.

"You" he states simply, not removing his eyes from mine for a single second.

I feel heat rush up to my cheeks as they become a pinkish color. I divert my attention from him back to my breakfast only to see him reach his hand onto my plate and steal a piece of my bacon.

"Hey! Get your own, Gilinsky!" I yell at him.

"What's yours is mine. What's mine is ours" He says with a smirk as he hops up from his seat.

"I hate you"

"You love me" He shoots me a wink as he backs out of the kitchen.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night" I shrug and continue to eat.

I hear him chuckle as he goes upstairs.

I take this time to go on my phone and see what the world is up to. I see that I have three text messages.
