Stay With Me

Seven

My comfortable slumber was shaken by Lacy's shrieked. For a moment I thought we were attacked by robbers. Vader kept on barking too, and that's when I decided to open my eyes, Garrett's still sleeping beside me, I carelessly went out of bed and went outside.

"Vader, what are you doing outside?" I asked the puppy as she looked at me and cuddled my feet. Lacy and Jared was sitting on the couch.

"Why did you scream Lacy?" I asked from where I'm standing, letting Vader cuddle my feet.

"Just thought you want to wake up early for the bakery" she said, smiling at me.

"Well, can I go with you? What time are you gonna leave?" I asked, picking Vader up so I can see her blue eyes.

"Oh yeah sure leaving in 2 hours, bring your clothes with you as well." She replied, cuddling Jared.

"Get a room" I said going back to bed, as I put Vader in the middle of Garrett and me, she cuddled next to Garrett, putting her nose on top of Garrett's chest, I felt obliged to get the nearest camera and snap a picture before I went lay down again. This dog don't know where her loyalties should be, I asked her to play with me but she just cuddled next to Garrett, a let out a sigh, giving up.

"You're so stubborn Vader" I said as went to the cabinet and look for something to wear, I have a handful of decent dresses from when I was in New York, as I know, the theme color of the wedding is green and white, hence, taking my time to imagine what the table clothes would look like. I end up choosing a brown and white floral dress that is cut 6 inch before the knees, the torso part of the dress was fitted all the way down under the chest, just before the tummy starts, where a thin belt is placed. I also choose my 5 inches nude heels that Garrett despise, despite the fact that it makes my pale complexion stand out. I am guessing he doesn't like it when we're on the same height. I put everything on my bag together with my make up kit and some bobby pins. After arranging my things, I called Vader for breakfast which she happily oblige, although she doesn't know how to go down the bed alone despite my numerous attempt to encourage her. Garrett, on the other hand is still sleeping. What have gotten into this man, I don't know. With 45 minutes to spare, I went out for a shower and dressed in my casuals for the shop.

"Is Garrett still sleeping?" Jared ask as I went out of the bathroom with a towel on my head.

"Yeah, I think so." I replied casually, sitting beside them.

"What did you do last night? Huh? Huh?" Jared ask, voice teasing, I gave him a punch and stand up.

"At least we were quiet" I teased, winking. I saw Lacy went red as Jared pushed me, I gave him a tongue as I entered my room. Garrett just woke up, still laying on the bed.

"You alright?" I asked him as I brushed my long hair. He nodded and rolled on my side of the bed, Vader trying to get up with him. I ignored her.

"This dog's been trying to get into your pants Gary" I said, as I ruffled his head, he buried his head on my pillow and mumbled something.

"Well, I need to go with Lacy to the shop. See you later okay?" I said as I put on my flats and kissed the top of his head.

"Hey look at me, don't kill yourself yet" I said, as he was burying his head on my pillow, he looked at me once, his blue eyes were tired and questioning.

"See you okay?" I said again, kissing his forehead this time as I carry Vader and put her beside him. Garrett groaned as Vader licked every single exposed skin.

"Ready to go boss woman?" I asked as Lacy stood up and give Jared a kiss, as she went out of the apartment.

"Dad called you know, told you he won't care" I said, as soon as Lacy was out of hearing site. Jared went up to me as he gave me a hug.
