Different Sides Of the Country Club

(20) Stay

[jαчdєn]

I awoke to clattering in my kitchen.

Stumbling downstairs I found Connor, cooking up a storm.

I smiled at him, knowing my messy bun was more messy after sleeping in it.

I felt under dress in a large grey hoodie and black nike pros.

I still wandered towards the room, grabbing a carton of orange from the fridge and pouring it into a glass.

"Where'd you learn to cook" I asked slumping down into a chair at the kitchen island.

"My dad owned a cafe in Colorado" he said releasing a chuckle at my bed head.

"Stop" I said getting up to smack his arm playfully.

"Nah I like it" he smiled, tucking strands behind my ear.

A smile crawled my face.

"Stay" I slipped out.

"Here?" He asked. Slipping a hand around my lower waist.

"Yeh, you can cook you'd be useful' I winked, releasing myself from his grip.

"I can't, I've got to get home' he said with a hint of sorrow.

"Alrighty, your loss" I smirked.

My online friends and I were gathered on my front porch, yet again there stay had come to an end and with bags in hand, they all tuck Ubers to the airport, as one by one left, I felt more and more lonely.

I curled up in my front room in front of my tele, opening up Netflix, reliving yesterday in my head.

The doorbell goes off and I leaped out of my seat, I've been waiting for the pizza delivery guy for around an hour, upon swinging open my door, a smile grew on my flushed face as I realised the person in the other side was connor.

'My flight was delayed'

He smiled.
