"Marie! Marie!"
The pounding on the door was relentless, destroying any chance of her going back to sleep. She tried to bury herself deeper into her pillow but the pounding continued.
"Marie!" Lee's baritone was replaced with May's nasally squeal. "Lee made tater tots and omelets for breakfast! Do you want yours or not?"
She was just about to tell them to stuff it down their throats for all she cared, but her stomach let out a low growl and she tried to stifle a groan of frustration.
"Sounds to me like you should consider their offer of a hearty breakfast." A soft muffled voice came from beside her.
Marie scoffed even as she felt his arm slide over her waist. "Yeah right, knowing Lee the omelet is probably drowning in ketchup, but tater tots do sound nice."
"Yo Marie!" Lee yelled and this time gave a knock so strong that the door literally jumped in the frame. "Get your lazy butt out of bed and come eat breakfast. I ain't slave over a hot stove for nuthin'! Now get up or I'm having May bust down the door."
She felt his tremble of fear even before he hastily withdrew his arm from her. "Well that seems to be my cue to leave. I'm sure I'll see you later today when you and your sisters harass my friends."
"Oh, alright." Marie whispered sitting up. "I"M UP ALREADY ALRIGHT! NOW SHUT YOUR FACES!" She yelled towards the door.
The bed springs squeaked and she heard him chuckle. "No need to behave so rudely."
Marie rolled her eyes and fished around the floor for a pair of pants. "Whatever, they ruined my nice and easy Sunday morning."
"They didn't ruin mine." He buried his face in her hair and breathed deeply. "Though I admit I was a bit, shall I say, skeptical about spending the night here I do find waking up next to you enjoyable."
Marie turned toward him and pressed her lips against his. There was another loud bang on the door making him jump out of bed away from her. Marie chuckled to herself and made a note to punch Lee in the vag later. For now though she was content to watch her man get dressed in his usual quick and efficient way. For goodness sake he even brought an over night bag so he could neatly pack is pajamas and night hat when their night was over. He noticed her staring and blushed profusely.
"W-w-what is it?"
"Nothing." Marie smiled. "Now hurry up and climb out the window before they see you."
Ignoring his look of apprehension and fear she slipped out of the room quickly closing the door behind her and came face to face with a pissed off Lee and fidgeting May.
"Well what the heck took you so long? And why the heck are you smiling?" She asked gruffly.
"Maybe she has gas?" May suggested crudely. "Or had a really good dream?"
Marie quickly scowled and pushed pass her annoying sisters. "Well if you really must know I was enjoying sleeping in."
Lee made a noise of disbelief and regarded Marie from under her mass of curly red hair. Marie met her gaze but felt her insides turn to jelly. She hoped to goodness that for once wouldn't be able to read her like she usually did. Suddenly Lee smirked and lifted one shoulder in non nonchalance.
"Whatever, Marie. Just make sure he's treating you right." She said walking away.
Marie felt her cheeks grow hot and she looked away. "Yeah, yeah. He's the perfect gentleman."
May's look of confusion turned into surprise. "Marie has a boyfriend now?"
"MAY, WAIT!"
Before she could stop her May threw open her bedroom door and the last thing Marie saw was Double D's startled and terrified face before he fell out of the window he was straddling.
