Something like royalty

Kerry's pov

"Yo dude is she asleep?" I hear Jacob say as he comes closer to me and Ava.

"Yes She is. Leave her to sleep Jay." I say, clearing my throat.

"Kyle, could you pass that blanket?" I ask my friend as I watched Jacob dance around the shed. At this point it was about 12 and the house had mainly cleared. It's was just us 4 and a drunken couple in the kitchen.

He passed me the large blanket and places it on both of us. I mouth 'thank you' to him.

Jacob wonders out the shed alone causing Kyle to run after him.

I begin to feel Ava shuffle beneath the blanket causing her to open her eyes. She doesn't look at me, she just rubs her eyes and curls up into me leaving more room on the couch. She goes back to sleep, allowing me to put my legs on the couch.

I see Kyle shut the shed doors and hold an okay gesture to me.

I get comfort with Ava on top of me and fall asleep.

Ava's pov

I hear an alarm ring from the opposite side of the room. I stretch out and open my eyes and look up to see Kerry fast asleep.

I slowly untuck myself from Kerry's grip as I walk towards the alarm and turn it off. I feel my head throbbing as I placed the blanket if Kerry and quietly opened the shed door to allow myself to go to the kitchen.

I walk inside to see the house full of rubbish and glass everywhere.

I head straight to the cupboard and grab some paracetamol.

I quickly make and drink a coffee before running and jumping in Jacobs shower.

Me and Jacob have been best mates since nursery. I use to visit all the time hence the reason why I know my way around.

I climb out the shower, brush my teeth and shove some of Jacobs clothes on from his bedroom.

I tie my hair up and head into where Darcey is to see she is fast asleep.

I check all the other spare rooms to see Jacob asleep on the floor. I roll my eyes, laughing, and take a photo.

Feeling refreshed, I head downstairs and grab a black bin bag and begin to pick up all the plastic cups and empty cans.

After, I sweep up all the glass which was smashed then mopped the the floor.

He is quiet lucky that all of his downstairs is laminate flooring.

I begin to clean the garden, binning all the rubbish when I see Kerry exit from the shed. I freeze as she looks up at me.

"Good morning." She says, breaking the silence.

"Good morning." I smile, placing the bag on the floor. "Do you want a coffee or?"

"Please. Two sugars." She laughs, following me into the kitchen.

She watched me as I make her a coffee. I slide the mug over to her and she leans against the side.

"Why did you come back?" I ask, turning towards her. She sips her coffee and looks out the window.

"You should never smoke and drink. You sounded drunk on the phone and you said you were going to get high with Jacob. I didn't want to leave you to make silly choices." She explains, looking at me.

"The last think I remember is standing in the kitchen drinking. Everything else is a blur." I laugh nervously. She places her empty mug in the sink and washes it, placing it on the drainer.

"Im sorry if I ruined your night." I whisper, sitting on the kitchen side. She shakes her head and walks to in between my legs.

"You didn't ruin anything okay?" She whispers, looking up at me. I smile and nod.

"I'm glad you remember everything before. Because I sure as hell cant get it out of my mind." She smirks, placing her hands on my thighs.

I bite my lip and run my fingers over her neck where I had left large love bites. She watches my face, examining everything I do.

"Why are you making an effort with me?" I whisper looking down at her.

She narrows her eyebrows and shakes her head, "What do you mean?"

"Like you don't really know me. You came back for me and looked after me. And for some reason, I feel attached to you." I explain, rubbing my thumb over her bottom lip.

"I find you very attractive and I found you chill after you bumped into me." She laughs. I giggle and shake my head.

"We better keep in touch." I say, holding her face.

"Of course baby." She smiles, leaning in for a kiss. I gladly accept and lean down, kissing her passionately.

I feel her hands rise up under my shirt until we hear someone come down the stairs. We pull away quickly. I pull my hair out of the bun and cover the hickeys on my neck. We step away from each other and see Jacob walk down the stairs.

"Ugh- hold up. Why is my house clean?" He rubs his head and looks at up both.

"We are almost finished." I say, answering his question. Kerry looks at me confused but goes along with it.

"We were just taking a break." Kerry adds.

"You two know each other?" He asks, walking into the kitchen area.

"We only met this morning." Kerry quickly replies. Jacob nods, making himself a coffee. I throw him some medication and he catches them.

"Thanks." He laughs.
