|| Wednesday, January 1st ||

I woke up to the feeling of familiar arms holding me securely. Flashbacks from last night went through my head as I smiled to myself.

I felt fingers tracing my bareback, and I turned my head to look at the woman lying next to me, "Hi, beautiful," Jackie said in a raspy voice.

"Hi," I smiled, moving closer and giving her a good morning kiss.

She played with my hair, brushing it off to one side of my body. Her hand rubbed my back, and I smiled at her. "What are you thinking about?" Jackie asked.

"Last night."

Her grin widened and used her hands to pull me in closer. I rested my head by her neck and rubbed her stomach, under the sheets.

My lips lingered at her neck before hearing a sigh leave her breath. I moved up to her ear, nibbling at it as I listened to her incoherent sounds.

She turned her head to capture my lips. I hummed, "Can we stay like this? In bed together, alone."

I heard Jackie chuckle, "I wish we could, but this isn't our house," she said. "Speaking of Avery, she might knock on the door and bother us."

"If we're quiet, she'll think we're still asleep," I whispered, kissing her neck.

"Charlotte," Jackie sighed, letting out a small chuckle.

We both hummed as our lips slowly moved against each other, parting, and tilting our heads. I felt Charlotte's fingers stroking my back while our movements continued.

"Jackie? Charlotte?" We heard as there was a knock at the door, bothering us.

Jackie cleared her throat, "Yes?"

"Can you open the door?" I heard.

Jackie groaned, grabbed the robe off the hanger in the closet, put it on, and walked over to the door. I pulled the sheets up, so they were under my arms, covering everything else below.

When the door opened, Avery spoke, "Can you help us set something up on the computer? Your parents are stuck on a portion of it."

"Yeah, just woke up. I'll be out in ten minutes?"

"Sorry, I thought I heard noises, so I assumed you two would be awake," Avery said.

"It's fine." When the door shut, Jackie leaned against it, groaning.

We both looked at each other and laughed, "Oh god, she heard noises, I just hope that it was a conversation that we had earlier... before all this," I said, falling back onto the bed, covering my face from embarrassment.

Jackie nodded and walked over to me, leaning down to kiss my lips. My hand played with the knot on her robe and slowly undid it.

I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her on top of me, "So close," I whispered.

"So close, indeed," Jackie said, letting her kiss me again before getting dressed. "We should get out there before Avery comes knocking on the door again."

I groaned but got up, when we exited the room, and went to the kitchen, Jackie walked over to help with the computer issues.

"Morning, Charlotte," Avery said.

"Morning. How are you?" I asked.

"Good, how about you? Did you get a good rest?" Avery asked.

"Yeah, I've been feeling better, so that's good," I smiled, pouring myself a cup of coffee.
