Chapter 7: Not So Good Morning

Chapter 7: Not So Good Morning

I groan and slap Connor.

"God! I didn't even say anything yet!"

"I felt you shift the trampoline and I knew you were gonna jump." I hear Connor sigh.

"Well either get up or I'll jump."

"No. I will stay here and you won't jump." I hear Connor sigh and the next thing I know, I'm being forced into the air. I panic and flail my arms like an idiot. "Connor!" Connor stole jumping and I roll off the trampoline with a groan. Connor follows me into his kitchen with a smile on his face. He's such a fucking morning person...

"Ready to cook?!" I slap his nose and lay on his table. "Well we kinda have to put the food there Nomi." I flip him off and he walks beside me. "Nomi, don't be mean."

"Shut up. You're too loud."

"And you're not a morning person. At least be happy that we're gonna have food soon." I turn my head and I open my eyes to see him right in front of my face.

"Back off before I make your nose dinner." Connor rubs his nose against mine.

"Right here. Try it." I bump my nose against his hoping he'd back off but as soon as I do that, he rubs his nose against mine again.

"Would you stop?" I ask in an aggravated tone. Connor presses his nose firmly to mine, causing me to open my eyes again.

"Not until you get your ass off the table and help me cook." I groan and manage to lightly bite Connor's nose. "Ow!" He pulls away and covers his nose with his hand. "Really Nomi?"

"I warned you."

"And I warned you." I sigh and close my eyes again then I feel Connor slap my butt.

"OW!" I turn and see Connor holding a spoon. "Seriously Connor?!" Connor leans down and flicks my nose.

"It's what you get for biting me."

"God you're an ass." I punch him in the lower abdomen and my wrist pops, "Jesus Christ!" I shoot up and hold onto my wrist. "God Con!" Connor laughs.

"Well it was a weak punch for one, and two, I'm not a built as you think so I'm not too sure how your injury happened." I sigh and roll my wrist.

"I hate you." Connor laughs and kisses the top of my head.

"Whatever you say Nomi. I give you permission to hate me in the mornings but no other time." I sigh and grab the spoon out of Connor's hand and smack his hip. "Shit!" I give him a cocky smile and he glares at me. "You started it."

I raise my eyebrow when Connor slaps the spoon out of my hand. When I look back up him I feel myself being slammed into the table. "Co-" I laugh out loud as soon as I feel Connor start tickling me, "CONNOR! STOP!" I laugh and try my best to slide off of the table. I kick a chair to the floor and collapse onto the floor and crawl under the table. I feel Connor grab my ankle and pull me out from under the table, "No!" I slide my leg against the floor and manage to kick his legs causing him to collapse onto me. We both grunt and lay still. Connor lifts himself and laughs.

"You awake now Nomi?" I roll my eyes and look up at him.

"After you collapsed my lungs? Not so much. The fact that you're still using me as a landing pad however has woken me up and makes me want to hurt you." We both hear footsteps and we see my dad and Connor's dad walking into the kitchen, looking down at us and eating hash browns from McDonalds. "I feel betrayed. You're eating McDonalds."

"What the crap? Naomi and I were gonna cook." My dad laughs and take another bite of his hash down.

"You both woke up late today so Jason and I went to get us all food."

"We got you both something too." Mr. Arrington says wiping his mouth, "But it looks like you two are a little busy." Connor climbs off of me and holds out a hand for me to get up.

"Connor started it."

"You kidding?! You bit my nose!"

"And I warned you! And you sparked me with a spoon!"

"Might I repeat. YOU BIT ME!"

"How is it they haven't dated yet?" Connor and I turn quickly to our dad's who walked out of the kitchen. We both knew it was Connor's dad who said that because shortly after my dad responded.

"Better late than never." Connor and I looked at each other, both of us blushing.

"I'm gonna go get our food."

"I'll put the pillows and stuff back in my room." Connor walks outside quickly and I sigh.

"That wasn't awkward at all." I walk into the living room and grab the bag with mine and Connor's food from my dad. "Drinks?"

"Fridge." I nod and walk back into the kitchen. I hear Connor close the sliding door and walk behind me.

"Whatcha looking for?"

"Your dad said the drinks were in here."

"I got them." I nod and walk I to Connor's room, setting our food on Connor's in-room coffee table. I sit on the floor with my legs crossed as I turn on the TV and turn it to the MLB network. "Large orange juice for you." I grab it and give him a smile as he sits beside me. "My team win?"

"Not sure yet, I just turned the TV on." Connor and I have two totally different teams, not Red Sox and Yankees thank god. But we still argue when our AL teams face each other. Connor likes the Cubs, I like the Dodgers. But in the National League, we both agreed that the New York Mets are the best team no matter how often they lose.

"Your damn team won." I laugh and take a sip of my orange juice.

"Cause we rock." Connor scoffs.

"Please, you just got lucky." Just them Connor's team popped up.

"Just like you?" Connor laughs.

"You kidding?! My team smoked the competition." I roll my eyes and take a bite of my Egg&Sausage McMuffin.

"Whatever stops the tears Con." We wait for a few more minutes when the highlights for the Mets popped up. "What?!" I slam my food on the wrapper.

"You fucking kidding?!" Connor sighs and runs a hand through his hair, "Those fucking Marlins."

"They always lose against us! Why did they win now?" I sigh heavily and lay on Connor's lap. "I'm tired." Connor laughs and pats my head.

"Too much anger was exerted this morning wasn't it?" I nod.

"Too much energy. I hate mornings. Wake me up when it's noon."

"At least finish your food." I sit up and shove the rest of my food in my mouth. "So attractive. You'll totally find a husband like that." I roll my eyes and lean against Connor still chewing.

"Shut up and let me sleep." Connor laughs and wraps his around my shoulder and kisses my forehead. I manage to finish chewing my food and I sigh, wrapping my arms around Connor's torso.

"Have a nice nap Nomi." I close my eyes and sigh. I smile and slowly drift to sleep.

"Love you Con."

"Love you too Nomi."
