Duck Drama

Chapter 25- Zehra

I exit the bathroom and find Dewey already on the bed, arms wide open, a big smile plastered on his face.

I run and jump on the bed to be caught by Dewey. My back is on his chest and his arms are hugging me as his head his on my shoulder. 

I don't know why he's so happy. I mean, we're not dating or anything- actually, wait. We never discussed that...

Am I ready for that? 

What's the worst that could happen? 

"Hey, Dew?" I ask, slightly turning my head.

"Yeeeeeessss?" Dewey sings.

"Um.. are we like... together?" Literally no other way to ask that.

"You know?" Dewey lets go of me and places his head on his hand. I turn around and face him, doing the same. "I've been thinking about that, too." 

Dewey places a loose strand of hair behind my ear and caresses my cheek, smiling bigger than I've ever seen it.

"Do you want to?" I ask, and he looks in my eyes. 

"Well, yeah! Do you?" 

Do I? 

I love Dewey... but will it jinx anything? 

If anything, it'll guarantee his safety, and Matt won't do anything reckless. I don't have a crazy "Theo" after me, so we'd be fine. No one would try to break us apart!

"Yes!" I answer throw myself into his arms arms. 

The hug, soon turned into the position we stayed in for the rest of the night...

--MORNING--

I open my eyes to see Dewey face in mine. His breathing tickles my skin. If I take a deep breathe, we'd kiss- that's how close we are.

Instead of moving, I hug my boyfriend (sooo weird) and place my head on his chest. I listen to his heart beat and close my eyes. 

His arms unconsciously wrap around me. He places his head on top of mine. I lay in his arms as he peacefully sleeps, hugging me. 

His fingers play with my hair and I realize he's awake. "You're up! Good!" I jump out of his arms and I can tell I surprised him. "We're going on a walk!" I announce.

He groans and hides his head in his pillow. I roll my eyes and go in the bathroom to change and get ready.

--LATER--

While training with Cheeky, I never stopped smiling. 

"Well, someone's in a good mood." 

I smile at Cheeky. 

"May I know why?" He asks leaning his face close to mine. 

I back away from him. "Why don't you ask my boyfriend?" I point to Dewey. 

I can't read Cheeky's expression. He's stone faced, and there's something in his eyes... 

But what?!

"Congrats. Followed my advice?" He asks raising an eyebrow.

"NOPE! I did the exact opposite!" I say excitedly.  

"Love advice is something I'll be okay with if you don't listen, but when we're training, you have to listen to me." He says narrowing his eyes.

"Actually, can we go for a run? As a part of training..." I make puppy eyes as a joke.

"Uh- No! Don't give me that!" Cheeky backs away, and I make bottom lip quiver. "No. We're not doing that."

I look at Cheeky's gray eyes with my amber ones...
