Kiss thy Queen (Nochelle)

S E V E N T E E N

Richelle's POV

I was sat on my bed, watching a movie on my laptop, that was resting on top of my legs. I was hungry. My stomach was rumbling, & it was to the point where it was uncomfortable; but I did not have the motivation to move, let alone hop off this bed, & walk downstairs to grab food.

I looked at the time, & smiled. 6:45pm. Ozzy would be here soon, with my food.

I waited another couple minutes, then heard a car pull into the driveway. A moment later, there was a knock at my door. I paused the movie, hopped up off my bed, & made my way over to my bedroom door, & opened it wide, knowing it would be, Ozzy!

"Hey girl!" Ozzy greeted, walking into my room slowly. He had a paper bag in one hand, & a cardboard cup holder in the other.

"Hey, Oz!" I replied, hugging him from behind, as he placed the food onto my bedside table.

"I got your favourite! Lemon fried chicken, & spicy beef, with vege & noodles!" Ozzy exclaimed, as he handed me the plastic container filled with food.

"Thank you. You're the best!" I replied, practically tearing the lid off of the container, as I began eating. It tasted so unbelievably good! I couldn't tell if it was because I was extra hungry, or because it was just extra tasty tonight.

I hopped back on my bed, & Ozzy sat beside me. We pulled the covers up, & got comfortable, as we began watching the movie again, while eating our food.

Ozzy handed me a cup of iced peach tea, & we clinked our cups together, taking a few mouthfuls of our refreshments, chuckling lightly.

We watched an episode of That 70's Show, then both decided we were bored. Ozzy suggested going downstairs to see what the others were up too, & I agreed.

He left the room, & I changed into my pyjamas, & stuck on my robe over the top. I was exhausted, & when I'm really tired, I always feel the cold much more.

I made my way downstairs, & found Ozzy deep in conversation with my flat-mates, Mitchell, Joel, & Lilah.

I had met Mitchell at the six-week dance intensive that Ozzy & I, had attended. That felt like so long ago though.

Joel was Mitchell's boyfriend, & they were honestly the cutest couple ever!

Lilah was Joel's sister, & was very good friends with, Mitchell. As soon as I arrived in the area, they took me in, & I've been living with them ever since.

Well, I was flatting with them, meaning I had to pay rent. So, I was at dance all-day everyday, but worked most mornings & evenings to earn money to pay rent. My only free nights were Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays, meaning I could hangout with friends, & catch up on sleep.

"Morning sleepy head. I don't think I've seen you all day." Mitchell joked, grabbing a mug out of the cupboard.

"I'm- *insert yawn* so tired!" I replied, sitting on the couch. Lilah was watching some sappy romance movie, & had barely glanced away from the screen. She was always so mesmerised by these films.

"Here you go! It might help." Mitchell said, passing me the mug, which was now filled with hot coffee. I sniffed the scent, & was immediately filled with warmth, & felt slightly more energised too. I took a sip, & smiled to myself.

"Thanks, Mitch!"

I sat & watched the cringey romance movie for around twenty minutes, then realised that I was beginning to doze off. I finished my coffee, then decided to say goodnight to the others.
