Bitter love

Chapter 11

I wake up to my ringtone blaring in my ear. I groan and sit up, removing Dylan's arm from around me and reaching for my phone.

Lorette's name flashes over the screen. why is she up so early on a Saturday. 

" Why are you up so early?" I yawn into the phone, after clicking the answer button.

"Ryan, that's not important, what is important is the man in your bed" I sit up straight and look around my room.

" what are you talking about?" I chuckle nervously and look over at Dylan and his busted face. last nights memories wash over me.

" we're on Face time stupid I hear his breathing" I look over at the boy spread out on my bed, my blanket pulled down on him, exposing his chiseled torso.

"oh ha that" I bite my lip and smile down at Lorettes face peering up at me through the screen.

"Your lucky I called, Alex is on his way over there, even though he denies it, it's obvious he loves you and if he finds Dylan in your bed, I can only assume the worst" she moves the camera around and I catch a glimpse of black hair.

" is that Griffin?" I squint and raise a brow, Lorrette's cheeks flush and she chuckles.

"maybe" she turns the camera around to show griffin on his stomach, his arms underneath his pillow.

"aww drool how cute" I smile sleepily and sit up more in bed, pulling my knees up. 

"I know right" she sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

"well, for the record, nothing sexual is going on here" I gesture to me and the boy next to me.

her eyes widen and she brings the camera closer to her face. "why the hell not? have you even kissed?!" she's practically yelling now and I shush her with a finger to my lips, looking over at Dylan to make sure he wasn't awakened.

"no we haven't" I say, tucking a strand of hair behind my hear.

"why not!" her voice is shrill again and I scold her.

" Lorette! shut up!" I whisper yell and she laughs, making me laugh. I cover my mouth to muffle the laughter.

"anyways, I called to discuss the winter dance next week, we have to go dress shopping today. Griffin offered to take us to the mall." she says, glancing over at him for a quick moment.

"okay, I'm also gonna need us to stop by The sushi shack, I'm craving some raw fish" I smirk and she gags dramatically.

"disgusting" she makes a disgusted face and I hear Griffin move around next to her.

"I'll text you when we leave to come pick you up, bring all your money your gonna need it" she gives a giant smile before clicking the end button and I chuckle and set my phone down.

" phone calls this early?" I jump at the sound of Dylan's voice. he chuckles, his eyes still closed and his body still.

"were you awake this whole time?" I glare and he opens one eye and chuckles at my expression.

"yep" he grins sleepily and I soften at his expression.

"how's your face?" I ask, my voice full of sympathy as I move and position my self next to him on my knees, facing him. he sits up slightly, resting his head against the head board of my bed. I lean over him and brush my fingers over his swollen and bruised face. he doesn't even flinch, he just stares. his eyes watching my face.

my eyes meet his and I give a confused look.

"what?" I ask, my voice full of sleep.

he smiles slightly and shakes his head, his eyes still on me. "nothin" he grabs a hold of my hand which still lingers over his face and strokes it with his thumb.
