A Windows Distance Away

Chapter 7

Ellie's P.O.V

I woke up due to the light shining through the window and the feeling of my hair being brushed, fingers combing their way through my hair. Wiggling my nose a little I slowly opened my eyes to see Mason already looking down at me.

"Good morning princess."

My heart fluttered from the greeting but I was still too tired to say anything. Letting out a deep breath I rested my head on Mason's chest again.

"What? No good morning for me?" He teases.

I shook my head, humming tiredly.

He pouted but pulled me closer to him anyway, "Now that's just rude."

Smiling I clutched onto his hoodie he still wore, "Good morning princess."

He chuckled, "I'll chalk that up to you just waking up."

His fingers continued to comb through my hair, luring me into sleep again but I managed to stay awake. After a little while longer of being in bed the two of us got up so we can start moving around. Together we just snacked on sweet treats and cuddled on the couch while we watched movies all day. It was one of those perfectly lazy days where you just do nothing and eat junk food.

Durning about the third movie we were watching I sat in between Mason's legs with my back pressed against his chest, the two of us playing the overlapping hand game non stop and making jokes about the movie. In the middle of it though Mason's phone went off so he pulled it out and checked it, groaning annoyingly at what it said.

I looked up at him and rubbed his arm that was across my stomach, "What is it?"

"I have to go back home for a few hours. But I don't want to let you go!" He squeezed me, causing me to laugh.

"What do you have to go for?"

"My mom wants me to clean a few things while she's gone."

"I could come and help."

"No, I got it. You stay here and relax."

"Oookaaay."

He suddenly grinned mischievously at me, "Hey, guess what?"

"What-eep!"

Before I could answer Mason picked me up and tossed me to the other side of the couch. I giggled loudly as my back landed against the soft cushions. He grinned at my joy and walked over, leaning down over me.

"You scared me you jerk!" I yell at him, smacking his arm.

"That's not what your laughter said. Plus I have to keep you on your toes somehow."

"Not like that!"

"Fine. I'll be back soon." He leaned down to kiss me.

After a few small and gentle kisses that sent my heart racing he pulled away only to trail some down my neck. I sighed in content at the tingling feeling his lips left behind on my skin, my hands wrapped around the back of his neck. But then he pulled away and stood up, leaving my body aching for more.

"Bye princess." He waved at me then left through the door.

Taking a breath I recollected myself and sat up, going back to the movie we were watching to finish it alone. As soon as it got dark though Mason returned so we could spend the night together.

We cleaned up our mess we made and shut everything off, Mason picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder so he could take me to bed. I couldn't stop laughing and squirming as he carried me then dumped me onto my own bed. Before I could get the chance to breath he laid on top of me to trap my body there.
