Chop chop then.

Arielle's PoV

I've been up for about 4 hours now. I slept for about ten minutes before my subconscious decided to wake me up again. I just knew that Noah sleeping in my bed right now would have bad consequences.
Maybe I should wake him up now before Kelly has to get up for work.
I reached over, checking the time on my phone. 4:56. Yes, he needs to get back to his own bed. She wakes up at half five to leave for half 6.

"Noah." I whispered lightly, tapping the boy who was still hugging onto me tightly. He hadn't let go since he slept.
"Noah." I repeated. I don't know if he's going to wake up. I hope he's not a heavy sleeper, waking him up would become a mission.
"Noah." My voice was a little louder this time and I poked at his side.
"Mmm." There was a little stir from him.
"You need to get back to your own bed." I whispered.
"You need to get back to your bed." He mumbled, burying his face further into my neck.
"This is my bed." I giggled lightly.
He slowly lifted his head up, looking around my room.
"Oh, So it is." He chuckled before flopping back down onto me.
"Seriously, you have to go back to your room. I haven't slept since you came in here." I cupped his face, forcing him to lift it up.
His tired eyes looked down at me and he pouted.
"But I'm comfy." He frowned.
"I'm not." I laughed.
"Go on. Your mum will wake up soon." I lowered my voice, realising that we were being quite loud.
"You make me sound like some kid." He cracked a smile before sitting up and scratching his bare chest.
"You love it." I giggled.
"Mhm." He rolled his eyes playfully before leaning over and pressing his lips against my own.
"See you in a few hours then." He got up, lazily walking towards my door.
"Night." I smiled as he left.

I let out a sigh, smiling up at my ceiling.
Do you think yesterday would just be a one off?
Would he be a different person when he wakes up fully? I didn't want that. We've done unspeakable things in the past 24 hours, it would be really awkward if Noah just suddenly started to be a prick again. Only time will tell, I guess.

As I laid there, I felt my eyes getting heavy. Maybe I could get in a couple of hours sleep before we head out in the morning. Fingers crossed...

——————
"You have five seconds to wake up otherwise I'm pouring this water over you." A voice startled me as I slept.
"Five." Noah spoke.
"Four." I swear to god, if he does it...
"Three."
"Two." I could just wake up but I'm tired.
"One." It's his fault that I'm so tired.
"Right, that's it." He chuckled.
"Don't you even dare." I opened one eye, looking at him. I didn't even see a glass in his hand.
"Ahh perfect, you're awake." He laughed, rubbing his hands together.
"Wakey wakey sunshine, we have a busy day ahead of us." He wandered out of my room again.

Ugh. I couldn't be bothered to get up. I just want to sleep all day. Oh my god, that sounds so good right now.
I pulled my covers over my head, sheltering my eyes from the light that flooded in from my window. I do need to get a blind today though so maybe I should get up. Oh, the effort.

Pushing back my covers, I let out a stretch, a loud squeal escaping my lips. That's when you know the stretch was good. I sat up, rubbing at my eyes and yawning. It's literally taking a lot in me to not just fall back asleep right now.
Before I could do anything else, Noah walked in with a toothbrush in his mouth.
"Come on. It's quarter past 11. Our schedule is fucked." He spoke as he continued to brush. I'm surprised I managed to make out what he was saying.
"I need to shower and stuff. It'll take me at least half an hour to get ready." I responded.
"Chop chop then." He clapped his hands together before realising he had too much toothpaste foam in his mouth and walking back to the bathroom.

I dragged myself out of bed, walking to my chest of drawers and pulling out an outfit for the day. It didn't look too nice out so something warm would do great.
I settled on an over sized grey sweater and black leggings with clean underwear, of course. Eh, that'll do. My shower will just have to wait. I don't really smell so I guess that's good.

Once I had finished changing, I spritzed myself with some Victoria secret body spray and sprayed my armpits with deodorant. We wouldn't want them smelling now, would we?
I then headed to the bathroom. As I walked in, I noticed Noah was shaving.
"Morning." He grinned, looking at me in the mirror.
"Morning." I grumbled. I wasn't really a morning person.
"Nice sleep?" He asked, turning his attention back to his face and shaving.
"Kinda." I shrugged my shoulders, grabbing my toothbrush.
"You?" I asked as I wet the toothbrush. It's wet it, add toothpaste and then wet it again. Don't come for me but I'm right. Anyone who thinks otherwise, terrify me.
"Slept better in your bed but what you gonna do about it." He smirked.
"Of course you did." I giggled, sticking the toothbrush into my mouth and brushing. There's nothing worse than morning breath. Am I right or am I right?
We went silent and the only sounds filling the room was his electric shaver and my teeth scrubbing. Lovely.

After a couple of minutes, I was complete and I headed back to my bedroom to sort out my hair and face. It was in need of it. I looked awful.

As I sat down to do my make up, I had an incoming call from Jason. He'd call or text everyday and I loved it. He was so great to talk to.
"Good morning, sir." I answered the call, reaching for my hairbrush.
"Hello, Arielle." He spoke in a posh accent.
"Are you ok?" I asked, pulling the brush through my frizzy curls. I hated them with a burning passion. I'd kill to have straight hair. Then again, I think some people with straight hair would kill to have my curly hair. It's crazy.
"Yeah, I'm good. You?" Jason asked.
"Marvellous." I nodded my head even though he couldn't see me.
"Girl, you need to use some good conditioner in that hair. It sounds awful." Jay laughed. He must be able to hear me tugging all the knots out. I don't really care much for my hair and I know I should.
"Tell me about it." I scoffed, putting the hairbrush down and grabbing my straighteners. I can't go out like this. I look like a lion.
"Anyway, what are you up to today?" Jason asked and as I was about to answer, my door open and Noah stood at the door way.
"You ready?" Noah asked.
"Give me twenty minutes." I responded.
"Gosh, girls take forever." He rolled his eyes before shutting the door and walking off downstairs.
"Woah. You're heading out with Mr Centineo today?" Jason asked.
"I wish you'd just call him by his name." I laughed at my best friend. I wish he was here, he could be doing my makeup whilst I do my hair. Ugh, being a girl is hard.
"As you please." He spoke.
"I take it you and Noah are on speaking terms again?" He asked. Jason knew that Noah and I hadn't really spoken but he knew nothing about the kiss. Normally we tell each other everything but this... I can't tell him about this. He'll think I'm insane.
"I guess." I shrugged my shoulders, bringing the straighteners down on my hair. I end up destroying my hair with these things. Maybe Jason is right, I need some sort of treatment for my hair.
"I'll tell you more about it when I see you next." I added.
"That could've been today but you'd rather spend time with hot stuff." He faked a sniff.
"Oh shush." I laughed.
"We need to buy a few more bits for our rooms, that's all." I said.
"It's ok, I understand. I guess I'll just see you tomorrow." I knew he was pouting on the other side of the phone.
"You'll live Jay." I giggled.
"Hopefully." He replied.

I rolled my eyes playfully, continuing to get ready. I think if I took longer than 20 minutes, Noah's head would explode.
