The sun slowly began to peak over the horizon as Allison's alarm blared signalling the start of the new day. She whined in protest as she rolled reluctantly towards the source of the loud blaring beep turning it off. 6:00am really was far to early to wake up and think for school. As she silenced the alarm she remembered last night. She checked beside her to be sure it wasn't a dream, and she filled with relief at the sight of him, curled up under her covers; his head lay on her pillow, his chest rising and falling as his lungs filled with air, his lips parted ever so slightly. She couldn't help but think how peaceful he looked. When she looked at him, she couldn't see the same thing she had last night anymore, when she had first seen him. Now she only saw Scott, the sweet boy she had begun to fall for. He looked handsome when he slept, she thought, relaxed with no tension in his body. Slowly he began to wake up, rolling to his back and stretching his limbs, before his eyes fluttered open. Allison watched as he blinked the sleep from his eyes and looked around the room remembering where he was. When his eyes found her his lips- dry and cracked from being parted all night- curved up into a smile.
"Hey." Scott said softly, his voice sounded both tired- that voice guys had when they first woke up that she had always found so cute- and happy. Happy. She thought, he was happy to be here with her.
"Morning sleeping beauty." She grinned down at him and ran a hand through his soft, tangle dark hair. "How'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good, although I'm not really sure 'sleeping beauty' applies to me, especially now." He said in response, reaching to take her hand. She leaned down touching her forehead to his. "Beauty and the Beast." Scott muttered.
She smiled. "Well, whether you believe it or not, I still think your handsome and adorable. Just like always."
"Your right. I don't believe you. But, its still nice to hear, so thank you Allison." She smiled again, then his face changed as he seemed to remember something. "Crap. Allison, you have school to go to still."
Allison pouted, "But I don't want to. I want to stay here with you."
"The irony," he said, "in the fact that the straight 'A' student wants to skip school, where her boy friend who makes straight 'C's and 'D's actually wants to go."
She laughed. "Maybe because you've been at home for so long you just want to go somewhere, even if that means sitting through math class and history. And I have gone with out seeing you so much, I'm willing to risk getting grounded for all of eternity to spend more time with you."
"Fair enough." Scott said with a laugh, "but if I can't go, then as my girlfriend you need to go in my place. That's how these things work."
"Is that so? When did that get written in the relationship rule book?"
"5 seconds ago. When I said I said it."
"Then I guess I have to go..." sighing she got up and shuffled over to her door rubbing her brown eyes. "I'm going to brush my teeth, I'll be back in a minute. Stay here." She pointed a finger at him in a playful manner before exiting the room.
"Yes ma'am." He called after her teasingly, "should I roll over too?"
"Very funny Scott." Allison laughed picking up her tooth brush and using the minty past to rid herself of morning breath. When she finished she returned back to her room. "You did stay!" She announced with a giggle.
"Do I get a treat for listening?"
"You might..." she walked over to where he was sitting on the bed placing a gentle kiss on his lips, which pressed back gently against hers for a moment before braking away. Smiling at him she went to pick out her cloths. She selected an outfit and slipped back into the bathroom to put it on. She returned wearing black skin tight yoga pants and a white silk top- which stopped just above her thighs, sleeveless so only the top of her shoulders were covered- with a floral pattern and a thin black leather belt strapped above her waist. Scott stared at her for a moment, smiling.
"Wow." Was all he could say. "Y-you look beautiful."
She lit up, smiling that cute little smile he loved so much- the one that showed every tooth in her mouth, every laugh line, every dimple- it let him know she was really happy. Happy with him, which he still had a hard time believing.
"Awe." She cooed, "Your so sweet. And I'm not even finished yet."
He made her feel beautiful, more beautiful than she felt she deserved. Its not like she thought she was bad looking, or was one of those girls who said they were ugly just to get attention from boys. But she wasn't the girl who thought and acted like she was better and prettier than anyone else either. It was nice to get a compliment, especially from Scott. Allison added her make up, a simple soft shimmery silver, black eye liner and mascara, light blush, and a soft pink gloss for her lips. She french braided her hair and draped it over her right shoulder, before shrugging on a brown leather jacket and sitting on the edge of the bed by Scott sliding her feet into a pair of matching boots.
Scott, who had been watching intently the entire time- fascinated by the process of all the work girls put into making themselves look nice- stared in amazement at his girl friend. He couldn't believed that someone as beautiful and perfect as her actually wanted to be with him, especially now that she saw him for what he really was. "Now I'm finished." She declared looking at him, a smile playing on her lips.
"Beautiful." He repeated, "Just like you always are."
"Makeup works wonders." She laughed.
He shook his head looking at her with a smile, "I think your just as beautiful with out it." He said softly, as he gently pushed a stray lock of hair that had fallen over her face behind her ear.
Allison blushed a light, pretty shade of pink, and smiled that cute little smile again. She leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips, his pressing back against hers like before, his familiar kiss making her lips curve into a smile against his, over joyed once again that she was with him. As they parted she caught sight of his face and couldn't suppress her giggle.
"What?" He asked her curiously, the corners of his mouth forming a smile.
"I hope you like pink." She laughed trailing her thumb over his bottom lip before revealing the shimmering gloss that came off of it. They both laughed as she wiped it away. "I wanted to bring you with me while you were at school." Scott teased.
Smiling Allison stood up and offered him her hand, "Its time for us to go." She frowned a bit as he stood up taking her hand.
"What's wrong?" He asked walking towards the window with her hand in his, both knowing he couldn't walk out the front door with her parents down stairs.
"I just... I just got you back Scott. I don't want to lose you again." She turned to face him as they reached the window, taking his other hand.
"Allison, I promise, you will never lose me again. As long as you want me I'll be here. Okay?"
She nodded, smiling a tiny bit, "Could I come over after school then? To seem you?"
He grinned, "Nothing would make me happier."
