The Light You Give

30.

"Lacey." A voice startles me. My eyes shoot open and I see a ruffled looking Callie standing over me.

"Morning Cal." I say rubbing the sleep dust from my eyes. She grins and nods besides me. A smile makes it's way onto my face the events that went down last night surfacing my mind.

Seth's arm is slung around my waist, his face soft and boyish as his even breathing tickles the side of my neck. His shirt has made it's way off during the night like it normally does.

"Come. I need the details." Callie says adjusting the duvet she has wrapped around her. I nod and pull myself from Seth's arms. She grins as I follow her in a trot towards our bedroom. She pushes the door open and I push it shut behind me.

Callie get's into the empty bed and I follow suit, cuddling up to her to ignore the cold morning air that nips at my ankles.

"Spill. From the start because I only know pieces." She says looking at me her eyes big with excitement.

"Well a while ago Seth and I kissed, and then from there it kept happening on small occasions. And we decided to be sort of like friends with benefits you know? But we hadn't slept with each other. And then on prom. We left to go get dairy queen and it was raining and we jumped in the rain and oh my god it was so good. Then we went back to his house and we were just chilling and then one thing led to another you know." I start rambling.

"You slept together?" She asks grinning excitedly. I nod a grin on my face.

"Yes. And I think we both realised that we had a bit more than friends with benefits chemistry. Or at least I did and he said he understood the feeling. So we decided to try talk to Bea so we could just date you know? Like be able to go on dates together and stuff but without the real commitment. So we actually convinced Bea which she was kind of skeptical but she agreed. Which actually blew my mind. Then we graduated and we came here. Now yesterday, Seth got pissed because we played volleyball with Tommy and Carlos right." I explain and she nods carefully following along.

"Well then I was confused why he was mad at me and he thought I was trying to dangle them in front of him, then I got upset that he thought so little of me. That was why I was rather upset. And anyway last night I couldn't sleep so I went to go have something to eat and Seth was making chocolate chip pancakes. And then he apologised and told me why he said what he said and then." I say pausing. Callie grins and waits for me to continue.

"He told me he loved me." I say grinning.

"Oh my god finally. And then I came in right?" Callie asks. I nod grinning.

"And then we went to bed." I say grinning to myself.

"You two are so in love with each other I literally can't believe it took you this fucking long to figure it out." Callie says shaking her head.

Suddenly there's a light knock at the door, I spin my head around to see a tired, concerned looking Seth poke his head around. I grin and open my arms for a hug. He grins and flops onto me.

"Good morning." He says wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head against my chest.

"Good morning." I say playing with his hair, grinning down at him.

"Callie you stole my girlfriend away from me." Seth says with a pout, his eyes tired and sleepy half closing.

"Sorry. I needed the details." Callie says with a not so sorry shrug.

"I thought she changed her mind and ran away." He says sleepily his eyes closed.

"I might if your not nice to me." I say jokingly. Seth grins before snuggling against me.
