Here's the fourth chapter! Enjoy :)
Claire POV
Drowsily I woke up my head pounding. I moaned slightly from the dizziness then remembered Michael next to me. No wonder I felt so snug and comfy. His arms were still wrapped tightly around me, as if he never wanted to let go and he lay so still and peaceful. His blonde hair was still slightly messed up and his eyes, with thick lashes, were ever so lightly shut. I managed to move my hand without awaking him to pull the soft blanket off me, which had covered us both. "First hangovers always the worst" Michael chuckled, his sea blue eyes fluttering open. "Yeah?" I sighed. He sat up a bit, silently and I lay beside him. We spent a few minutes just staring up at the ceiling, it wasn't an awkward silence it was more- comfortable. I turned my head slightly to look at the small, alarm clock on my bedside table that read: 5:47. Michaels hand brushed against my cheek; I hadn't realised that a single wet tear had crawled down it. "How ar…" he was stopped by a piercing bang outside. Shocked, we both jumped up towards the closed window. It was pitch black outside and we could barely see anything. "What the hell?" I finally breathed. It was still and motionless and the sky was clear which made it harder to see down the street and by the side of the house.
Michael POV
I was sure I saw something then, a shadow of someone. I shook my head slightly and faced Claire. "Guess whoever it was has gone" I whispered and locked the window. I glanced back at her sad face lost in thought. I decided to cheer her up. I threw her over my shoulder and went to the bed putting a giggling Claire down and then tickled her. "Stop" she laughed.
It didn't take long until she was passed back out on the bed, this time with a little smile on her sleepy face.
Eve POV
I shivered feeling the empty bed. Where was Michael? Then I remembered, Shane had told me that him and Claire had gone out but should be back by morning. I hadn't questioned him and had just gone straight to bed but now I was worried. As I convinced myself he was probably just in his room now I got out of bed and picked up my clothes. I glanced back at the clock, that read 6:01, before heading to the bathroom. It was quiet downstairs and in the rooms, everyone was asleep I guessed. Resisting the urge to check Michael's room I slipped into the cool bathroom.
The warm water felt nice against my body as I quickly washed myself down. By the time I was finished with the bathroom I could hear someone in the kitchen. Carefully I finished off my make-up then wandered downstairs. It was Michael. He was shirtless with his pyjama bottoms on. "Morning!" I said kissing him on the lips. He put his arms around me pulling me closer and his soft lips kissed back. "Guys, get a room" Claire laughed interrupting us. Michael pulled away first grinning and then went back to cooking breakfast.
"Morning, Claire" I smiled, settling down on one of the chairs.
"Morning". We chatted for a few minutes about random things until Michael had finished making breakfast. I kissed him on the forehead as he passed us the full plates. "Err where's Shane?" I asked. Shane was still in bed which was strange because normally he would at least come down. Michael only shrugged and turned towards the door, which instantly opened.
Michael POV
I wasn't paying much attention to my cooking or to the two girls talking; I was too busy lost in thought. Soon breakfast was ready and everyone happily sat but Claires' smile seemed a little fake. I was about to ask her if she was okay but before I could open my mouth I heard Shane coming towards the kitchen. I eyed the entrance. Shane promptly opened the door. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Claire fiddle with the button of her checked shirt and Eve smile warmly; of course she had no idea he had cheated on Claire.
Thanks for the 2 reviews! I'll try to get another chapter up tomorrow and definitely make it longer. R&R :-D thanks!
