Unbreak our hearts

14: A Moving Couch?

Stella's POV

I woke up as sunlight creeped through the windows of the hall and reached my eyes. I couldn't make much sense of the situation anyway because I could already feel the hangover of yesterdays's drinking and the massive headache forming.

We all had played so many games and I don't even remember when we fell asleep. Yesterday was a lot of fun. When me and Tristan were back from the mart the lounge area was beautifully made into a den covered with blankets. We got to know so much about each other through all the rounds of truth and dare and never have I ever. I honestly have no recollection of what happened but I do remember the death glare Kiara sent my when I gave her a dare to kiss Xavier. Now, I am not that much into dares of kissing or making out but for some reason I could see something brewing between them, in the future. Of what I have gathered of Kiara, she thrives on adventure and is obsessed with mafia and gang related stuff, literally there isn't a single thing she wouldn't know, and Xavier is exactly that, so yeah.

Suddenly the pillow beneath me started moving bringing my thoughts about the previous night to a halt and since my judging capabilities at the moment were already in delusion, I muttered "When the fuck did I get a pillow which could move?"

"Oh wait, is it the bed that's moving or the pillow? " "Nope, it's the couch! I'm not even in my room. Ughh But wow, I didn't know I had a moving couch." I kept rambling to myself before I heard laughter from beneath me. I moved my head and looked down to see that I was on top of a bundle of muscles. I moved my eyes upwards slowly and came across the face of a very amused Tristan who couldn't control his laughter.

"Seriously Stella?" He asked.

"Oh umm I was just kidding, of course!" I said with a nervous laugh.

"Sure you were darling, sure you were." retorted Tristan not believing a word I said.

I was about to say something to convince him but before I could my phone started ringing which woke up the others as well. I checked my pockets but couldn't seem to find it.

"Gosh Stel, here." Evelyn said and handed me my phone while giving me a look which says,' how can you always be so lost'. Earlier I didn't understand her looks when we first met but now I know them all by heart. Most of them are always pretty sarcastic though. One thing about her is that she thrives on sarcasm.

All this while I didn't realise that I was still on top of Tristan so I hurriedly scrambled off him while the others laughed at us.

I checked my phone to see that it was a video call from dad. OH gosh, please don't make me look hungover.

I answered the phone and in a cheerful said, "Hi daddy"

"Hi princess, what's my bundle of joy doing?" dad replied in his usual cherry tone that he uses just with me.

"I just woke up dad, what about you?"

"You just woke up? It's 1pm Stella, I know you love sleeping, but really?" dad said in an incredulous tone.

"Holy hell! Fuck dad I didn't know that! Fucking shit." I said totally amazed that it was indeed 1pm. I knew that all of us would sleep in but not this long.

"Watch your mouth princess. We don't want time outs, now do we?" dad said jokingly.

"I told you when I was young dad, my mouth comes below my nose, I can not possibly watch it." I retorted which earned me a boisterous laugh from dad and the others as well since they were listening in on the conversation.

"Oh good lord Stel, sometimes I wonder where you get that sass from. Talking to you makes my day lil one."

"Daddy" I whined. " I miss you already."
