The Musician, The Yeti, and The Ginger

Chapter Thirteen

Elena

I woke up to a still asleep-Patty. He was cuddling a pillow and had his legs wrapped around me. I smirk at the boy who was lying in bed next to me, and carefully tip-toed out of bed and go into the bathroom. I slide my shirt and underwear off and get into the shower. I quickly bathe and while I am drying myself off, my phone rings. I wrap the towel around my body and walk to Patty’s night stand and pick it up.

“Hello?” I answered quickly.

“Hi. Is this Elena Lightshade?”  Said a very feminine voice. Who could this be? I bite my lower lip before answering.

“This is her.”

“Oh good! Hello. I am Dean from The University of London. But you can also call me Mary Anne. I am here to inquire you about your roommate, Virginia.” I raise my eyebrows. How did this lady know about Ginny and me living together?

“Oh. Well she is just downstairs. Would you like me to go get her?”

“No! I specifically need to ask you some things about Ginny and her school work.”  I sit down on floor and lean on the bed, where Patty still lies, sleeping.

“Okay then. What’s the problem?”

“Well you see, Ginny has been missing a lot of school lately and the council and I would just like to know what has been happening. Is Virginia alright? Has she undergone any surgeries? Contracted a disease perhaps?” Mary Anne said rapidly.

“Slow down please Ms. Marry Anne. Gi- I mean Virginia is fine. She has just had er-other activities going on. I will make sure she is in school today. What time do classes start?” I hear Patty rolling over in the bed behind me.

“Well you see, if Virginia has one more absence, then she will be kicked out of Uni. If she does not show up to class tomorrow, the council and I will have no choice but to kick her out of Uni. Classes tomorrow start at 8:00 sharp.”

“Alright. I will tell her that and make sure that she is there at 8:00 sharp. Thank you Ms. Mary Anne for calling me about this issue. “

“You’re welcome dear. Have a lovely day.”

“You as well Miss.” And with that I hung up the phone. I look down and realize I am still in my towel. With a shake of my head, I get up and grab a pair of galaxy leggings, a black tee, and one of Patty’s plaid shirts and shuffle into the bathroom. I quickly put my clothes on and do my makeup and exit the bathroom. When I reenter Patty’s room, he is awake, rubbing his eyes. His blonde hair a mess, and he smirks up at me.

“What time did you get up, love?” He says in his deep, morning voice. I smile at him and plop onto the bed next to him. I immediately lean into him. He smells like old axe and sleepiness. I smile and look to him.

“I believe I got up about an hour or so ago. I took a shower. And the Dean of Ginny’s Uni called.” Patty raises his eyebrow at me. His face full of concern and questions. Then his expression quickly changed into a mischievous grin.  He runs a hand through his blonde hair before asking,

“So, you took a shower and didn’t invite me?” I gasp and playfully punch him in the arm and he giggles and gets off the bed and stretches. He goes over to his dresser and pulls out a blank shirt but no pants so he is still in his boxers. He starts stretching and then says,

“Seriously though, what did the Dean want? And why would he..”

“She.” I correct him. He holds up his hands in protest, while I laugh at him.

“ She excuse me. What did she want?”

“Okay Mr.Mocksalot, she wanted to know why Ginny has been missing class lately. So I have to make sure she gets to school on time.” I say as I get up and wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest. I can feel his chest rising and falling and the rhythm of his heartbeat. It is so comfortable and comforting and I wish I could stay like this forever.  He starts running his hands through my hair and kisses the top of my head. He then pulls my chin up and Eskimo kisses me.  I look into his green and blue eyes and blush.

“I like how you always blush when you look into my eyes. But for now, shall we go get some breakfast, my love?” I nod my agreement and we begin to descend down to the kitchen, hand in hand. When we get into the kitchen, I jump up on the counter and watch Patty as he cooks us some breakfast. Luke and Ginny come down the stairs basically all over each other. I look to Patty, who shrugs and winks at me but goes back to cooking. I jump off of the counter and walk over to the making out couple. I tap on Ginny’s shoulder to get her attention. She turns to face me with her brown, sappy eyes. She raises her eyebrows as to as What do you want? I am kind of busy here. I place my hands on my hips and glare at her.

“You and me. Private conversation now. Come on.” I say as I walk out of the kitchen and into the living room. I hear Ginny’s almost faint footsteps behind me. I plop down on the sofa and look at her. She stands in front of me with her hands on her hips.

“Well? What did you need to talk about?” She says grimly. I rub my temples. Wow, Ginny has changed in the past few weeks. I look back up to her.

“School. Why haven’t you been going? I know I am not your mother and all, but still. Why. Aren’t. You. Going. To. School?” She blows out an angry puff of air and glares at me.

“Because I simply don’t want too. Luke is more important than lame school.” I sigh and cross my arms over my chest.

“Well you listen here. One you need to drop that attitude with me. Secondly, your education is more important than any relationship. Do you know how much it cost to get you into Uni? Do you know how much your parents paid so you could even go to Uni? And this is the thanks they get? That’s incredibly awful.” Her face fell but I continued with my speech. “So tomorrow you are going to Uni and attending all your classes. Agreed?”

“Agreed.” She says quietly.

 “Good. Now come on. My stomach is rumbling.” I say as I grab her wrist and pull her into the kitchen. Patty is sitting down, eating his breakfast while Luke is sitting across from him. They just got done laughing when I plopped myself next to Patty.  I take a bit off of Patty's breakfast and drop it in my mouth, Patty looks at me with surprise and then grins. 

"Hey! You know, if you wanted some, your plate is on the counter." He says while gesturing over to the cdounter, where indeed, a steaming hot plate of food awaits. I smile, get up, and kiss Patty on the top of his head before getting my food and coming to sit back down. I begin eating this wonderful vegann omelet. After eating, Luke, Ginny, Patty, and I all have a Lord Of The Rings marathon.
