A Touch Of Cinnamon

Chapter Twenty-Three

Warmth seemed to invade me as I laid with Roman making me not want to open my eyes. So warm. A small yawn escaped me as I turned to face Roman, he was sleeping peacefully, his arm was securely around my waist and it would slightly squeeze tighter when I shifted. I don't wanna go to school. I groaned, loudly and buried myself deeper into Roman before feeling him move around. "Morning." His voice came out rough and deeper than usual which sent shivers down my body.

"Good morning, we need to get ready for school." He gave me an almost pained look before sitting up, making me laugh at his reaction. I followed his movements and sat beside him, looking around his room before my eyes set on his closet doors. After stretching, I stood up from the bed and began walking on the cold floor to his closet. I skimmed through all the shirts and hoodies that were hung up before picking one of Roman's grey hoodies and slipping it on. Looking down at the hoodie I realized it looked like a dress on me. I then heard feet shuffling from the direction of the bed causing me to look in that direction. Roman was gone. While I furrowed my eyebrows, confused to where he could've gone, I turned back to the clothes only to feel arms wrap around my waist. "Go get dressed Roman." I giggled while trying to release myself from his grip but it was no use.

"What if we just stay home today?" He mumbled against my neck. As much as I loved the idea, I knew we shouldn't. Soon enough I slipped out from his hold and put on a pair of black leggings before looking back at Roman who was now on the bed still in his boxers. I shook my head while making my way to him.

"C'mon Rome, get dressed before we are late." This caused Roman to pout, sticking his tongue out at me before he stood up and made his way to the closet again to pick an outfit. It was now my turn to sit on the bed as he got dressed. Not even two minutes later Roman walked out of the closet fully dressed, We both headed down the stairs and to the car before we would be late. Once we got to school Rae and James were outside waiting for us.


Roman's Point of view

Kennedy ran off over to Raelynn and they both just walked off on their own talking about god knows what. James and I did our signature handshake we've had since we were in middle school.
"How have you been? We haven't had a guys night since forever!" He told me exaggeratedly, making me roll my eyes.

"I've been with Kennedy, man."

"Dude, you've gone soft and I mean really fucking soft. When was the last time you did an interrogation or a raid?" I thought for a moment. When was the last time? "Let me stop you there, if you have to actually think about it that means it's been way to fucking long." Did I turn soft?

"Fine let me ask my father if he has any missions or tasks he wants us to do." I tell him. He nods and we both head over to where my bunny and Rae are. After about five minutes we decided to start heading inside before we relate to class. On the announcements they announced that today's classes were in a different order so Kennedy and Raelynn went to their class while James and I went to ours. The first class that we needed to go to was third period, which was our government class. We did our goodbyes and headed our way to class.

I'm gonna be completely honest with you I fell asleep for most of the class, I honestly hated government class it was so fucking boring But thank God that lunch came quicker than expected, I don't even remember what happened to my other classes I just zoomed passed them to get it over with. I don't even wanna be here. I was considering skipping but I know Kennedy would have my head. I yawned, stretching as the bell sounded throughout the class and halls, signaling that it was lunch. We were the first ones to make it to our table, once we sat down Kennedy and Rae entered the cafeteria and made their way towards us. My bunny smiled and waved at us and quickly made his way towards me when he was near he sat directly in front of me and gave me a hug, telling me he missed me which caused me to chuckle. "We just saw each other like three hours ago."
