LAVENDER

Hug

I felt something heavy in my stomach, I slowly open my eyes, blinked for several times then turn my head... Oh my! Anthony is sleeping beside me, his heavy arm is wrapped around my body, I don't know how to react, I felt my face heated 200 degree. His face closer to mine, he looked peaceful while sleepingh, his Greek face is perfect. I can't help staring at him, no no no, its too early in the morning to this sin.
I felt he's moving, his drowsy voice...
"Goodmorning, sorry if I slept beside you, I don't know which room the two occupied, its a shame if I disturb them." He said in one eye open, his sexy voice, arm still wrapped in me.
"Ahh... its okay." I stuttered feeling ashame  with the thought that he hugged me. He just smiled at me then closed his eyes again, I heard his heavy breathing, chest rising up and down, okay he went back to sleep still hugging me.
"Sleepyhead." I whispered then close my eyes too, Im felt comfortable with his hug.

I slowly open my eyes, I heard my stomach growling. I glance at the bed side clock, its past 11am. I slowly get up from the bed then I  realized that I'm alone, maybe Anthony left before Jace found out that he slept next to me. I felt my cheek heated by the thought of him hugging me. I shook my head with the silly thoughts, I went straight to the bathroom, took a cold shower, then put in my home clothes.

Downstairs I saw Jace and Anthony in the living area watching in Netflix, while Abby is in the kitchen preparing lunch I guess.
"Hi Bby, are you making lunch?" Right she's cooking fried chicken, pasta and etc.
"Hi Sleepyhead. Yeah I told Auntie that I want to cook for lunch, your mom and dad went outdoors."
"Oh I see." I sat on the stool opposite!watching her, Im no help.
"So regards everything about the two of you? Should I be at ease?" I said bit teasing her.
She blushed at my statement.
"Yeah I will spend more time with him, I hope he'll changed, you know."
"Yeah I really hope too. Don't worry he's guarded." I said smirking.
She smiled... "So now, can you tell me what is going on between the two of you, I never saw you being close to any man." It's her turn to pissed me.
I felt my traitor cheek heated.
"You're blushing!" She exclaimed pointing my cheek.
"Jeez! Dont make fun of me. We're just ... friends... I think." I minced.
"Do you really think you can fool me, huh?" She said raising her brow.
"No I'm not fooling you ." I said playing innocent.
She shook her head slowly.
"Zoe... Zoe... Zoe... the ice cold Zoe... I know you like him, I can see it in your eyes." She's staring at me into the eyes.
"What? ... No... maybe... Yes... I don't know." I can't tell her directly she'll going to tell Jace and I didn't talk to him about it yet.
She smiled. "Don't worry Z, I won't tell anyone about it, even if Kyler hang me to spill it."
I looked at her, she's my bestfriend, I can trust her. "Okay, thank you Bby."
She just nod at me then continue cooking.
"I heard he's an amazing cook." Abby said while placing the pasta in a bowl.
"Yeah just like you." I said winking at her.
"You siblings are indeed lucky." She smirked.
"I admit, Jace and I are uncertain when it comes to cooking, but you should be thankful that we can't burn any house instead." I chuckled.
"You two are hopeless." She laughed.
"Care to share what makes the ladies happy." Jace said while approaching Abby.
"How hopeless you are." She smirked.
"Oh this hopeless is you dream man." Jace said winking at her.
Abby blushed and the two exchange knowing looks and smiles.
"I felt indisposition by the sight of you lovebirds." I said in sarcasm.
"Young lady don't get jealous, yours is near to come." He smirked at me.
"Should I introduced him to you when he come?" I said smirking at him too.
"No need." He still smirking.
"Oh are you okay with the idea?"
"Just like the old-time."
"Jeez! Bby I don't know what you saw on this jerk, he's totally a non sense." I rolled eyes.
They both laughed at me.
I looked at them, they just laughed at me? Is there something that I did'nt know?
"Look at your face." Jace pointing his index finger continue laughing.
"Very funny Jace!" I exclaimed.
"Okay okay I'll stop." He said but smirked.
I pouted, Abby just smiled at me.
I felt someone sat beside me, I turned to saw Anthony looking at me smiling, I felt my cheek heated when I realized him hugging me.
"Why you're cheeks are blushing? Is it because your pissed or because..." I cut Jace annoying words.
"One more tease Jace I won't let Abby come with you." I threatened him.
"Oh I didn't say anything I'm just worried." Jace playing innocent.
"Save it Big Man. I'm starving, if you won't stop annoying me make sure you keep your distance from me" I said cold, starv.
Abby chuckled placing the food in the table one by one.
"Oh sorry dear, it takes time. Now let's eat before you killed us." She teased.
Jace and Anthony chuckled. I rolled eyes to them.
Before I can reach for a plate, Anthony gave me one with a pasta and chicken.
"Thank you." I said timid.
He smiled at me then whisper. "Anything for you." I felt my cheek blushed more.
I saw Jace and Abby just smirked afraid to say a word.
I started eating, the food is really good.  I know Abby will be a good wife.
I finished my food as fast as I could without bothering if I looked ashame.
"Heavy eater." Abby commented.
"You said your indisposition?" Jace smirked.
"Go ahead lovebirds, pissed me more." I said in sarcasm.
They laughed then shook their heads.
"I don't think I can't stand being with this troublesome." I whispered.
"Then be with me instead." Anthony whispered into my ear, I felt shiver, I turned to face him. He smiled at me, I felt Im melting.
"Is this a whispering contest?" Jace said.
Anthony just smirked at him I gave him a death glare.
He raise his hands to surrender, Abby just smiled at us.

After dinner Jace, Abby and Anthony left. I felt peaceful, after routine I lay in bed hugging a pillow... thinking its him...
