strangers in love

chapter 37

AMELIAS POV
It was now 4am on New Year's Day and the kids were upstairs sleeping and Owen, Derek, Meredith, April, Jackson, and Callie were all still up. A few of the others crashed in the basement. I was looking at Owen and I could tel how tired he was by his cute little face. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and nuzzled into him.
"Hey," he said.
"You wanna go to bed?" I asked, "I'm beat too."
"Yeah," he said. I leaned up and kissed him softly and we said goodnight to everyone. Derek and Meredith said that we can have their extra guest room upstairs.
"Hey mom," I heard Emma say. I turned around and she was cuddled on the couch on her phone.
"You're still up?" I chuckled.
"No I just woke up from falling asleep at 2," she said.
"Oh okay," I said, "try to go back to sleep."
"I have a quick question," she said.
"Alright," I said.
"Can I go to the mall tomorrow?" She asked, "Well actually today?"
"Is that boy going?" I asked.
"Mom its a yes or no question," she said.
"You're sure you're not asking because you now I'm tired and a little bit drunk," I joked.
"Hey I never said you were drunk," she chuckled.
"I will answer in the morning," I said, "go to bed."
"Fine," She said, "love you."
"Love you too," I said and walked upstairs with Owen. I opened the door to the guest room and I felt Owen wrap his arms around me.
"I'm so tired," I said, "and drunk."
"You're not drunk," he chuckled.
"Owen I struggled to get up the stairs," I chuckled.
"Alright," he chuckled, "we'll go to bed."
"Yeah," I said softly.
"I'm also sorta drunk," he chuckled.
"Wow can't take us anywhere," I joked.
"You're not wrong," he chuckled. He pulled me into bed with him and I cuddled into his chest.
OWENS POV
Amelia had her head nuzzled into my chest. Her arm was over my chest and she was so cute. I could tell she was tired and she was already half asleep.
"Hey Owen," She said sleepily.
"Yeah?" I chuckled.
"I love you," She said.
"And I love you," I said and kissed her head. I closed my eyes and nuzzled into her.

I opened my eyes and my head hurt so much. Amelia and I were kinda drunk last night and now I was so hungover. I looked at the clock and it was 5pm. I looked over and the space next to me was empty. I rolled over and wished Amelia was next to me because I didn't want to get up. I grabbed my phone and I had a few texts from her. The first one read, "Hey bringing emma to the mall" which was from 5 hours ago and the other one said, "Come downstairs when you're awake lol" which was from a half an hour ago. I got up and I walked downstairs and my hangover was so bad. Amelia was on the couch talking to Meredith and I could tell they were both hungover too.
"Hey," Amelia said softly.
"Hey," I said.
"Someone was tired," she chuckled.
"Yeah," I said. I sat down next to her and she laid back onto me.
"Hey you want coffee it helps with the hangover," Meredith chuckled.
"Yes please," I chuckled.
"Me too please?" Amelia chuckled.
"Amelia no this is your fifth cup," Meredith chuckled.
"One for every beer lets go," Amelia joked.
"Owen I don't know how you deal with her," Meredith joked and walked into the other room. Amelia laid back on my lap and smiled up at me.
"Oh you're so hungover," she chuckled.
"Shut up I just woke up," I said.
"My little hungover baby," she said cutely and reached up and grabbed my face.
"You're hungover too," I chuckled.
"You're so cute," She said.
"So are you," I said. Meredith came out with two cups of coffee and Amelia smiled.
"Amelia this is so unhealthy," Meredith joked.
"Coffee," Amelia said cutely. She said up next to me and leaned onto me. I thanked Meredith for the coffee and my headache was so bad.
"My head hurts so much," Amelia said.
"Yeah me too," I chuckled.
"How much did you two drink you didn't even seem drunk," Meredith chuckled.
"I had like 7 too many beers," Amelia chuckled.
"Yeah me too," I chuckled.
"Oh my god," she chuckled. Amelia turned the tv on and I put my arm around her and she snuggled up into me. Amelias phone rang and she got up and answered it. She sat back down and I knew she was talking to emma.
"So did he kiss you?" She asked. There was a paused and Amelia frowned.
"So no kiss?" She said, "Alright Alright Fine I'll stop." I smiled over at her and when the conversation ended she got up.
"I have to go pick up Emma from the mall," She said, "I'll be back."
"Okay," I said. She walked over and kissed me softly and I ran my fingers down her jawline. I pulled her back down onto the couch with me as we started making out. We heard Meredith get up but I still kept kissing her. She pulled me close to her and I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Hey I like hungover you," She said cutely.
