Crushed [editing]

Chapter 11

Xander and I must have fallen to sleep cause I wake up to my leg around him and us just cuddling. I see Ella in the big comfy chair and she's watching Castle she's so into it. She finally looks over at me.
"Good morning sun shine." She said smiling.
"Morning." I said smiling back.
I get up from cuddling with Xander and he wakes up. I check his phone and he has 4 new text. From Mariah, and Morgan. I didn't really care but it checked the time and it's 8pm. We slept for four hours holy fuck. I get up and ask Ella what she wants for dinner. She said a burger. So I decide to just bring her to Burger King. She gets whatever burger and I get chicken nuggets. We sit there and eat together and talk about everything. I feel so bad for her, losing her mom at the age of 8 must suck. Losing a parent at all sucks. We finish and decide to get desert we ordered and both get a vanilla cone. We get them and I start driving back home.

We walk in laughing and Xander's still past out on the couch. I go sit next to him.
"Babe, are you alright?" I asked.
"No I'm going to puke." He mumbled. I ran and go a huge pan and a towel if he got it anywhere. I then get him a nice cold wet cloth and he put it in his forehead. Ella just sits there and turns on the tv. I get him some tums and I sit there playing with his hair rubbing his back. He pushes over so I can cuddle with him and play with his belly.
"Your the best." He said.
"I know." I said. As we both laugh. He passes out I hope he feels better and I get up to tuck in Ella in my bed. I grab myself and Xander a blanket. I sleep on the comfy chair and I let Xander be on the couch.
At 3:27am Xander woke me up telling me he's cold and he needs someone to cuddle.
"Text Morgan, or Mariah." I mumble.
"What?" He ask. I didn't respond cause I was half asleep. I then feel Xander picking me up and walking me over to the couch. I lay right on top of him.
"I love laying like this." He said.
"Night Xander." I said covering my face. He kisses my forehead and I pass out.
I wake up and it seems like it's 7am. Xander's laughing in the kitchen though. I get up and see him making pancakes with Ella. I just smile.
"Come help." Ella said.
"Let me pee first" I say walking to the bathroom. I slash water on my face grab my towel and whip my face so I don't look like I just woke up even though I did. I then do my business. I wash my hands and walk out and help them. Xander comes up behind me and kisses my neck and whipped pancake mix on my face I grab a little and put it on his face and it goes back and forth until he grabs me so I can't do it no more and he kisses me. With pancake mix on each of are lips. I finally escape his arms and help Ella make pancakes. We mix and poor the pancakes.

When there all done we sit at the table and I see a dozen roses on the table that has a letter with my name on it. I pretend I didn't see it cause I don't want to read it in front of him. I don't want him to see my face expression.
"Read it baby." He says.
"I will after eating." I said.
"No now." He said.
"I said no babe." I say.
"Fine." He said looking at Ella.
"You're a quite little kid." He said.
"Mhm." She mumbles.
It's quite the rest of the time we finish are pancakes. When he takes care of the plates I take the note and run to my room and lock the door and read it.

' Baby, I love you with all my heart and I want to know if you will go out with me on a date not just sit home I want every guy to know that your mine and every girl that I'm taken by the best girl ever.
Love you, Xander. '

I smile and walk down stairs.

"Yes babe." I said
"Really?" He asked.
"Yea." I say.
"Next Friday." He said.
