The following morning when I woke up something didn't feel right. The bed was emptier than it was when I fell asleep. After looking around a minute I sat up. No Auden. Did she leave? She couldn't have left this early. I ran a hand through my hair and looked at the digital clock on the nightstand; 9:47.
Just then Auden appeared at the doorway in one of my old T-shirts that was way too big for her drinking a cup of coffee.
"Morning sleepy-head," she said smirking. I grinned at her. "Breakfast is almost ready so I suggest you get up soon," she said after a short pause.
"Breakfast?" I asked pulling back the comforter and putting my feet on the floor. I stretched my hands high above my head.
"Well if you're in charge of dinner I figured I could take care of breakfast," she replied taking another sip of coffee.
I stood up, walked over to her and kissed the top of her head. "What time did you wake up?" I asked.
"About half an hour ago," she said quietly and leaned against me. Wrapping one of my arms around her shoulder I took her cup of coffee with my free hand. She scoffed and pouted at me, obviously faking.
"Fine," I handed her back the coffee cup and wandered to kitchen to get my own. After pouring my own cup of coffee, Auden went back to the stove where she was cooking eggs and bacon. I took the liberty of grabbing cups and plates and putting them on the small table. Auden and I each grabbed for the refrigerator door handle at the same time. She smirked and released the handle and went to go fill our plates with food instead.
"So what do you want to do today?" I asked her pouring some of the orange juice I grabbed into both of our glasses. She shrugged at me and sat down.
"What do you want to do?" she replied. She picked up a fork and started eating some the eggs. Following her lead, I sat down and began eating as well.
"I asked first," I said with a mouth full of eggs. She rolled her eyes laughing at me. I grinned and looked out the window. It was a pretty nice day outside and there were barely any clouds in site.
"Well, I want to know more," she replied simply. It was my turn to roll my eyes and laugh at her.
"That's debatable," I replied picking up a piece of bacon. "Ladies first," I said pointing the piece of bacon at her.
"Can't we just go with it?" She asked clearly not going to answer the question any time soon.
"I suppose," I picked up my plate and put it in the sink and she followed shortly. At that moment I picked her up and carried her to the couch. I sat on the couch and she positioned herself to straddle my lap. I cupped her face in my hands and she entwined her fingers in my hair and smiled at me.
I kissed her forehead then both of her cheeks. She pulled back, looked back at me for a moment, and moved in to kiss me fully. I felt a sudden surge through my body, and kissed her more than I had in probably a month. I moved my hands down her back and down to her legs. One of my hands went up and down her leg while the other was around her waist pulling her closer if that was even possible at this point.
She pushed herself against me even more. And I was pushed into the couch until I couldn't physically sink in any more. Her hands moved down from my hair to my chest. She reached for my shirt as I reached for hers. Before any of us could get the other person's shirt more than two inches there was one loud knock on the door and it was slammed open.
Auden and I sprang off of each other and stood up fixing our shirts and hair trying to make it look as we weren't doing anything.
Maggie and Adam walked in no more than ten seconds later. "Good morning, neighbors!" he exclaimed loudly. Maggie just smirked at us.
Both of us just stood there slightly short of breath and stared at them. Maggie gave us both a weird look.
"Are we interrupting something?" she asked very slowly looking both of us up and down.
"No..no," I cleared my throat and saw Auden shake her head.
"What are you guys doing here?" Auden asked quietly after an awkward silence.
"We decided to follow your lead and come here, too. You know, get the gang back together," he said starting to smirk and me.
"Oh…," Auden crossed her arms on her chest.
"We're, um..going to be playing kickball tonight if you guys want to join us." She looked at us one more time before tugging on Adam's arm and leaving.
Auden mumbled something about getting a lock on the door and I nodded in agreement. We both went into the bedroom and grabbed some clothes from the suitcases that we brought.
"I get the shower first," I said quickly and ran to the door. Auden was right behind me but I got in first and locked the door. Auden banged on the door once and went away.
I took a shower quickly and exited the bathroom with a towel around my waist. Auden rolled her eyes at me and went into the bathroom to take a shower herself. After about a minute of standing there I realized I had left my clothes in the bathroom to get dressed. I looked at the suitcases and mine was already in the bottom of the pile under ten others that we had brought.
I walked slowly up to the bathroom door and knocked lightly. I heard the water on so Auden must've been in the shower.
"Yes?" she called.
"I, um, left my clothes in there," I pressed my head against the door to hear better.
"You mean those things in the corner by the sink?" she asked laughing.
"Yes, those," I sighed at my situation. Auden stopped laughing and it was quiet for a little bit. "Can I come get them?" I asked slowly. It was quiet for a probably all of twenty seconds but it felt like an hour.
"Yeah, sure," she said.
I opened the door slowly and spotted my clothes in the corner by the sink just like she said they were. I quickly walked over to the clothes keeping my eyes on them the whole time. I didn't want to make Auden feel uncomfortable. I picked up my clothes and turned to the door.
I couldn't help but look at the shower. I could see the outline of her figure through the curtain. I stared at her for probably a minute holding onto my clothes. She was washing her hair and wringing out some of the water.
"Eli?" she called out to me. She pulled back the curtain and looked at me. I could feel my face growing unbearably hot and I stood there opening and closing my mouth for something to say. She smirked at me and closed the curtain again.
This time I left and closed the door, getting dressed quickly and looking at the bathroom door every twenty seconds. I ran the towel over my head drying my hair.
After about five more minutes the water turned off and I left the bedroom. I turned on the t.v. and watched the news for about ten minutes before Auden came in. She was wearing black capris and a red V-neck shirt. I smiled at her and smiled at me. I stood up.
"Should we head down and look for some people?" I asked standing up and sliding into some shoes. She nodded and put on some shoes. I cleared my throat.
"Auden, about the shower-" I was interrupted by her putting a finger on my lips and kissing them sweetly. I smiled and kissed her forehead pushing back her still wet hair.
"Let's go then," she said smiling. I opened the door for her and we walked out hand in hand.
