Clarisse's POV
First thing on Monday morning, I uncover my face slowly and reluctantly when I heard my cellphone ringing. My eyes unexpectedly greet the streaks of sunlight penetrating the window. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. I didn't bother to look at the ID and just answered it right away.
I'm awakened by the sound of my ringing cellphone. It's a bit irritating because first of all, it's just 7 AM yet someone's calling me this early.
"Hello?" My eyes were still half-awake while answering with my morning voice.
"Good morning, Clarisse. How's your sleep?" He asked in the other line.
My sleepy soul was shocked when I heard his appealing calm voice, "Oh well, it was great before you started interrupting me." I answered hearing no trace of my sweet normal tone although I was just messing with him. I am still sleepy but my spirit was instantly awaken by him.
"Oh, I didn't mean to disturb your beauty rest, bella. But I just wanna inform you to pack some of your clothes today."
"Wait. Pack my clothes? Today? For what?" I asked him with abashment.
"Keep your thoughts for a while, we're going somewhere. I already prepared two tickets for us and I had my permission to enjoy a week off with you. Now, you just gotta choose between yes or yes as an acceptable answer, Miss Devonshire." I know he said that while grinning.
I rolled my eyes, "Geez, what an early time to be perplexed deciding. Hmm, I don't know if I should choose the first yes or the second yes?" I act as if I'm thinking.
"Silly you..." I heard him chuckled softly through the phone.
My lips suddenly drew a smile while having a conversation with him. "Okay then, it's a yes. Where are we going to meet?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fetching you there. Just be prepared." Excitement can be recognize in his voice.
"Clarisse, the breakfast is ready. Get down here, sweetie." I heard my Mom's voice downstairs.
"Coming Mom!" I replied
"I gotta go, I also need to tell Mom about your plan so I could prepare right away."
"Alright, that's great. See you later, Clarisse."
"See you later, Jasper." After I hang up, an unexpected smile drew on my face. I sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my knuckles onto my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn. I started doing my morning rituals before I decided to go downstairs.
While I'm on my way down I heard my Dad laughing from a distance.
'What's the reason of that early laughter?' I asked myself, wondering.
My eyes both widened when I found out the answer by myself.
"Jasper?! What are you doing here?" I asked while still in a shocked state.
He smiled at me before answering, "Good morning, here's your breakfast, bella." He replied while pointing his fingers on him.
"One point for Jasper!" My dad exclaimed while making fun of us.
I nodded sideways while awkwardly smiling, "Silly you, Jasper!" I felt my cheeks slightly burning because of the awkward presence.
He softly chuckled, "Just kidding, I told you I'll fetch you, right?"
"Yeah," I nodded "But, that fast? How long have you been here?"
"What's with that reaction, sweetie? He's been here about an hour ago." My Mom meddled coming out from the kitchen while smiling meaningfully.
