Law of Attraction

Will's POV

One pizza and eighteen cans of cider later, and me and Bex are well and truly wasted. We sit on the balcony under a blanket, Bex curled up under my arm against my chest. We don't need to talk, we are happy to just enjoy the company. Even if occasionally I see double. I pull two cigarettes out of my pocket, light one, and pass it to Bex. Then I light the second and take a deep drag. I don't really smoke much - only a few cigarettes a day. But boy do they taste better with alcohol in your system.

'Nipples for fingers, or fingers for nipples?' Bex's sudden outburst take me by surprise and I laugh so hard that tears begin to form.

'The fuck? Fingers for nipples. I could tape them down and hide them.' I take a few deep breaths calming my uncontrollable laughter, and wipe tears from my eyes.

'I think I would do the same,' she simply replies, a serious look on her face.

I laugh again, nudging Bex slightly so she sits up. 'Come on, it's getting cold. Lets go inside' I say as I pull myself to my feet, stumbling slightly. I pull Bex to hers, and guide her by her shoulders in through the door. I don't think she could walk unaided at this stage.

I guide her straight through to my bedroom, closing the door quietly behind me before throwing myself down on the bed. The alcohol had well and truly taken effect, and I was half way between 'lets party' and 'I just want to sleep.'

I watch Bex pull her hoodie up over her head, her top coming up slightly with it and flashing her bare torso. She climbs into my bed and pats the spot next to her, beckoning me to join her.

I kick off my shoes, pull my hoodie off and chuck it on the chair in the corner of the room, and climb in next to her. I open up my arms, and she immediately snuggles into me, resting her face into the crook of my neck. I could stay like this forever.

'I love you Lenney.'

It takes me by surprise, and I stiffen. Unsure of how to react, I pull her in tighter to me and giggle. 'You will regret that in the morning.'

'No, I don't think I will.'

We lay in silence for a few minutes, and I soon hear the change in her breathing. Bex was sound asleep.

'I love you too Bex. More than you will ever know,' I whisper. I plant a gentle kiss on the top of her head and drift off to sleep.

When I wake the next morning Bex is nowhere to be seen, so I grab a quick shower. Once I'm dressed I head into the kitchen, knowing she would be sat at the breakfast bar nursing a coffee.

'Morning,' I call, grabbing a mug from the dishwasher and the milk from the fridge. 'How you feeling? I surprisingly don't have a hangover.' I chuckle to myself as I make myself a cuppa before joining her on the bar stools.

'Yeah, I feel fresh as a daisy. No idea how or why, but I won't complain,' she replies, grinning at me over the rim of her mug. 'Plans for today?'

'Its a surprise.'

A/N - Sorry its a short one - I promise the next one is much longer x
