Lucky Little Me (New just my luck book 2)

Chapter 13

I sat in the Irving room with a spread of books in front of me and was waist deep in homework while Gilmore girls was playing in the background. It was my go to show because i could basically quote it to you in my sleep so I didn't need to pay attention to what was going on in order to know.

"Mari, what do you want for dinner?" Seth called from the kitchen. He was bored with me, I could tell. He had taken to cleaning the stove that I had just cleaned last week.

"I'm not hungry." I called back.

"Yes you are. Pick please otherwise I'm making what I want." He made a fake threat. I was sure whatever Seth made would be good anyways. "And I'm gonna make sure it not edible."

"Fine." I grumbled, putting my books down and wandering into the kitchen. I opened a few cabinets before frowning, nothing sounded good. I knew I should eat, I was actually hungry but I wasnt craving anything. Nothing that would be considered a meal at least.

"what are you thinking?" He asked, leaning against the island and folding his arms.

"What can I eat to make you happy?" I gave a big fake grin as I turned to him.

"take out?" He suggested. I shrugged.

"I could go for Italian."

"You can always go for italian. I not entirely sure how you don't gain weight." He had a point. I had a built figure that I had worked hard for at one point in my life. I had gained a few pounds, but it dint really bother me. I should probably start going to a gym again soon though.

"Magic." I fake gasped. he chuckled and rolled his eyes pulling up his cell phone and I headed towards the living room to finish my assignments for the week. I didn't want to actually focus on school for the rest of the week, actually ever again. I used to be really good at this, now all I wanted to do was hang out with Grey.

"its placed, ugh, Gilmore girls again." Seth grumbled walking into my room of mess. Yeah, Seth was getting sick of me.

~~

It was 1 am, I was sitting awake in my bed staring at the wall. Grey had called me before he got on the flight and told me not to wait up, and I tried to go to sleep, but the bed was to big and to lumpy and it was to dark and I could hear Seth snoring down the hall from his bedroom. he only stayed when i was alone, which was nice.

I had my legs crossed and was tapping a pencil on my leg, watching the clock click and wondering how long I could do this before it drove me insane. this sucks.

Groaning, I pulled out my cell phone and began scrolling through socials. Should I call Grey? No he would be on his way home, there shouldn't be traffic in the middle of the night right? I mean this was Chicago but everything closed at like 11 on weekends.

I could hear small noises int he hallway, almost like I was imaging dust falling from the walls onto the floor. "Oh my god." I groaned, pulling myself out of bed. I was wearing one of Grey's buttons downs, it smelt like him and it made me feel better when i was trying to sleep.

I wandered down the hallway towards Seths room and pushed the door open slightly, letting light into the room. Seth shifted in his bed and then rolled over his eyes opening as he caught sight of me. "Mari, what are you doing, are you okay?" He asked and I nodded.

"Seth, I cant sleep." I groaned, stomping my foot lightly against the floor, throwing a small temper tantrum.

"dear god." He groaned, rolling over in bed, his eyes scanned me for a moment before he looked up with wide eyes like he was confused. "Are you wearing pants?"

It dawned on me that I wasn't wearing pants, I think I was getting to comfortable with Seth. "Uhhh."

"Mari, you're not trying to......are you?" He asked sitting up, raising an eyebrow in confusion and worry. I tiled my head for a moment, what was he talking about?

My eyes widened when I realized he thought I was trying to make a move on him. "Oh my god no, no! I just forgot I wasn't wearing pants. Just, ugh go to bed." I groaned and shut the door.

Looking at the clock again  i groaned when I saw it was 1:30. He still wasn't home. I wanted to call him, but i didn't want to bug him and I didnt want him to know that I couldn't sleep without him, that probably sounded pathetic.

I wandered back into our bedroom and closed the door slightly so it didn't let all the light into the bedroom. Climbing back into bed I pulled the blanket over my head, and then i heard it.

The click of the lock, and then the creaking as the door opened slowly, Grey probably trying not to wake us up. I grinned, pushing the blanket off me and sliding to the floor carefully, making sure my feet didn't make a sound against the hardwood floor.

Moving quickly but silently, I made my way around the corner of the room behind the door. I heard him setting his bags down and him mumbling something as my grin got bigger.

The door opened up slightly and I saw him take a step in, glancing at the empty bed with the blanket tossed over it that was not in any way made to look nice. "Where-" i heard him mumble before I pounded.

I jumped on his back, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck and clinging onto him while screaming loudly. I caught him off guard because he dropped whatever was in his hands to grab onto my legs to support me. "Holy shit."

I giggled as he quickly moved, dropping my legs as I slid off his back. He twisted around and within a second his lips were on mine. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I grinned and pulled him closer.

"i love you, I love you. I love you." I said between kisses. He chuckled and picked me up, moving s to the bed and laying me down. he trailed hot kisses from my lips to my neck and then pulled back.

"god I missed you." His voice came out in a whisper. His fingers trailed up and down my cheeks as our eyes locked. this was where i wanted to stay, forever.

"Don't ever leave for that long again."

"Don't worry about it, its not going to happen." he chuckled. His face tuned into a smirk when he realized what I was wearing, holding the thin fabric between his fingers. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep."

"You woke me up with all that ruckus in the kitchen. Boy do you make a lot of noise." I joked as he rolled his eyes.

"As much as I would love to stay up all night and talk to you it's almost 2 am and I haven't actually slept in like three days, can we please go to sleep." he asked, sticking his bottom lip out as I smiled.

"You didnt sleep without me." My smile grew bigger.

"its not that big of a deal." He chuckled as he sat up and pulled off his shirt. He jumped off the bed to go to the closet to change his shirt.

"you couldn't sleep without me." I beamed as I got off the bed and followed him. He rolled his eyes but was ginning to as he changed into boxers to sleep in. His hair was tousled and he looked good, I almost forgot how good he looked before bedtime.

"no Amara. I couldn't sleep without you. The bed seemed to big." He chuckled, leaning down and kissing me lightly.

"I missed you so much." I giggled as I followed him out of the closet. I felt like a puppy following its owner around as I pranced behind him in his T-shirt.

Grey crawled into bed and pulled the blanket over him, looking at me and waiting for me to get into bed with him. I wasn't tired anymore though, all i could think about was being next to him.

"baby, bed. Please.' He almost begged as I grinned, moving into the bed with him and curling up next to him in a ball. he was warm and soft and he felt  like home.

"Have I told you how much I love you." I whispered. His eyes were closed but he still grinned.

"I love you to Mari. Please close your eyes."
