Tic-Toc

Chapter 5

Hand in hand, we finished the walk to my room. We practically ran up the stairs and into my room. After plopping down on my bed we just talked. We were going to watch a movie but we decided against it. After talking for hours with someone you start to feel like you've known them for forever. Forever, what a wild concept. When people say they'll love you forever and always, forever never seems that long. It's 100 years at max. When in reality forever is something much bigger. It is the unknown time in which everyone and everything come and goes.
*snap snap*
Blake's hand is waving in my face.
"Earth to ash, come in Ash"
"Sorry I spaced out for a second"
"You ok?"
He puts his hands around my shoulders massaging the tissue gently. Instead of letting him do that, I turn around and place a kiss on his cheek and lean back into his chest.
"How about we watch that movie now?" He suggests
"Sure. What do you have in mind?"
"How about a scary movie?"
"The nun?"
"Ok"
He put on the movie. When he got scared he'd hide his face on the back of my neck. When he suggested a scary movie I knew I wouldn't be scared but I thought he wouldn't either. Though he's quite adorable hiding from the screen. Once the credits started rolling he timidly looked at the screen.
"It's over?"
I give him a little chuckle.
"Yes, it's over. You can come out now."
Instead, he pulls me back into him and wraps his arms around me. God damn he's warm.
"You're so warm"
I feel the vibration of his laughter.
"What?"
"You're just really warm."
He puts his chin on top of my head.
"Your hair smells good"
I turned my head just enough to kiss his neck. I leaned all the way back. He started to lean back too. Then it was just me laying on him. The lights were already off so I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of his heart beat. Steady and consistent.
————————————————————————
The sun light is annoying the crap out me but him being wrapped around makes up for it. I turn around so I can face him and bury my face in the crook of his neck.
"Hey you need to wake up." I shake slightly
"Hey Hey Hey, Blake"
After I shake him a couple more times he grunts and holds onto me tighter.
"You have to wake up, we have class."
"I don't want to go"
"But we have to"
"Fine"
He slowly lets go and I make a mad dash towards the bathroom. After washing up and taking a shower I walk out in just a towel.
"Hey Blake, where are you?"
"Sitting on your bed"
"You have two options; close you eyes and don't open them until I'm in my closet or leave my room"
"I'll close my eyes, I promise I won't peak"
Slowly I sneak into my room.
"Blake your eyes better be closed, if they aren't, I swear I'll lop off your head."
I get in my room and run into my closet. I quickly slip on underwear and the matching bra and then black ripped jeans and a purple rip n dip tie dye hoodie. I brush my hair and put on a black beanie and old school vans.
"I'm doneee."
As I step out I did a spin.
"Want to go to lunch after class?"
"Yes, but do you want to stop at your apartment for you to get ready for class?"
"Sure"
I tap his shoulder and take off in a sprint to the kitchen. I hear him behind me and as I reach the door way I make a dead stop. Of course the bloke crashes into the back of me.
"Want some coffee?"
"Of course"
I grab two mugs and quickly make two cups.
"Cream or sugar?"
"Just a little creamer."
I add a little creamer to his and hand him the mug.
"You don't put anything in yours?"
"Nope" I say popping the "p" I take a long sip. It takes me two minutes to finish the whole mug. I grab my back pack.
"If you want to have more than 15 minutes at your apartment I suggest we leave now"
"Ok, want me to drive?"
"Yes please."
I start walking towards the front door and I pass the couch. On that couch is Riley and a random guy. I took a picture and figured I'd ask her about it later.
"Blake come on" I whisper yelled. It sounded like I was saying it in a normal voice, but I swear I could tell the difference then my normal voice. He stumble to the door while putting on one of his shoes. He looks over to the couch and points at it. I just shrug and usher him to hurry up. He opens the door and we head towards the car. As we get in we go to his apartment. It's so weird going to into some one else's house. It's like getting a look into their life.
"The kitchen is a bit messy but that's because Jesse doesn't clean up after himself."
He brings me to his room and I go to sit on his bed. I look around and see everything around. His walls are grey. The grey is the color of a storm cloud. His dresser is black and on top of it are some Knick knacks. There's a camera on his dresser too. And a couple pictures scattered on his night stand. On his wall he has a couple photos stuck up there. One of a dog, a little German Shepard sitting on a boys lap. Another picture is a family at the beach. Blake comes out of the bathroom with his hair slicked back with water. He runs up and plops himself next to me in bed.
"Cute. I see your trying copy me."
He was wearing an outfit almost identical to mine. Black ripped jeans, purple tie dye rip n dip shirt, black beanie, and vans.
"No I believe you copied me"
I laughed and got up.
"We have to go to school now."
"Ok let's go"
He put his arm around my shoulder and we walked to the car. After a quick drive we arrived. We got into class and got three seats close to the back. One for me, Blake, and Riley. Assuming she comes.

Authors note: I felt like this was cute. That rip n dip hoodie is something I have and it's so cute.
