Moves Like Elvis | Jade Thirlwall

C6. Face Like Thunder

"I have to get back." Elvis grunted over a cup of coffee towards Jade, who sat on the other end of the couch. Between them lay a fast asleep Leigh-Anne, who had apparently crashed there after insisting she couldn't make it to Danielle's bedroom. "Amy's little sis' loves me so I better at least show my face before they go back up North."

"Well, it's not like you're gonna hit the early morning rush or anything." Jade joked as she glanced at the clock. It had just gone 02:28 PM, which was ridiculously late to have just gotten up, but both girls were still exhausted as a result of only having fallen asleep just after 05:00 AM.

Elvis rolled her eyes, though made no effort to get up from her place. "I can't move," she complained, loud enough for Leigh-Anne to begin to stir between them. "I feel like I ran a bloody marathon."

    "If anyone got a full workout last night, it was me when I had to carry your ass home."

    Elvis poked her tongue out at Jade's comment, before standing from the couch and stretching her arms above her head. Jade watched the girl, her heart melting at the adorable, tired expression on the blondes face.

    Just then, a 'mmph' came from beneath a wad of black hair. Elvis giggled, before standing a little closer to the girl so she could tickle her sides.

    "G'morning, sleeping beauty." She said, kneeling beside the couch so she was face-to-face with the girl. "Sleep well?"

    "Get lost, Pez." Leigh-Anne groaned tiredly, not opening her eyes as she just rolled over so she instead faced the back of the couch.

    A startled Elvis looked over to Jade, before both girls burst out into laughter. "Rights, I'm gonna ga' slip on last nights dress like the tramp I am."

    Jade rolled her eyes. "You don't have to," she said as she stood from the couch and made her way into her room with Elvis following close behind. "Just borrow some of my clothes and give 'em back next time I see ya'."

    Elvis whistled in appreciation as she caught the clothes Jade was throwing at her, which upon inspection consisted of a pair of black ADIDAS leggings a Little Mix Glory Days sweater. "Cute."

    Jade winked, before leaving the girl to put the clothes on in her room. After Elvis had changed, bagged last nights outfit into a sports bag Jade had left out for her and tied her hair into a ponytail on top of her head, she entered the communal kitchen and living area. Jade and Danielle were mid conversation as they stood side by side behind the kitchen island, but when the older girl saw the blonde, she stopped. Elvis glanced down at the couch where Leigh-Anne was still passed out.

    "Am off." Elvis said a little shyly as she hovered by the door. "Thanks for a sick night, girls."

    "No worries, kiddo." Danielle grinned, using her hands to hop onto the counter so that she was facing Elvis. "Anytime at all."

    Jade turned around, the smirk on her face growing into a wide smile as she looked Elvis up and down.

    "Oh... well someone looks cute in my clothes."

    "Well, if I'm being honest I do actually have this exact jumper in my wardrobe at yam."

    Jade laughed. "You do?"

    "Indeed. I'll return your clothes at Perries BBQ next week?"

    "Sure... I had fun last night." Jade said, ducking her head as she said the last bit, only mildly aware of Danielle who was watching the interaction with a raised brow. "And I meant what I said, you know, this morning in bed?"
