chapter 5

•Louis•

I woke up feeling something tickle my cheek, which made me chuckle a little. Slowly opening my eyes, I found Clove's arm around my waist and my head resting on the top of hers, her messy hair being the thing that was tickling my cheek. She looked so peaceful and adorable.

I tried to get up without waking her up, but as I moved a little she tightened the grip on my waist.

I did not want to wake her up, however I really needed to use the bathroom.

"Clove," I called, poking her arm. No answer. "For fuck's sake, stop crushing me. Or I swear I'll pee right here, right now."

Clove quickly pulled her arm off my waist, rubbing her eyes. "That is simply disgusting."

"You were already awake?" I asked, incredulously staring down at her.

"Maybe," she shrugged.

I rolled my eyes, fighting a smile.

"Now, can you please let me go?" I asked, but to be honest I was liking the way we were lying and really wanted to stay that way.

Her cheeks turned red as she realized that her head was still snuggled on my chest, quickly moving her head to the pillow. "Sorry."

I got up, heading to the bathroom. The door opened at the same time I grasped the knob, revealing a surprised Lorena.

"Oh, you're finally awake, sleeping beauty." she said. "I need to talk to you."

I frowned. "About what?"

"You know," nudging her head at the direction of my bed, where Clove was already sleeping again, wrapped on the duvet. "Now, let's go outside."

"I don't think you noticed, but I'm still wearing pajamas. And I really need to pee."

Lorena rolled her eyes. She grabbed my hand, pulling me - against my will - with her.

"Do you fancy Clove?" she bluntly asked, raising her eyebrows.

"What? No."

"Louis, I know you do. Don't deny."

"I'm serious," I exasperatedly said. "I don't fancy Clove, she's just a friend. Why are you asking me this?"

"You were sleeping on the same bed, the first thing I thought was that there is something happening between you two." Lorena sighed. "Besides, you're my brother. I care about you."

"She was just having nightmares." I smiled. "And I care about you too, Lori. Don't worry, if something was happening between me and Clove I would tell you."

Lorena smiled. "Okay, I believe you. Now go change your clothes, your Garfield pajama is too childish for a twenty-three years old man."

"How many times do I have to tell you this is just a normal cat? It's not even orange to look like Garfield, what the hell is wrong with you?"
