LightningxHope Chapter 8

Hope yawned and stretched under the covers of the bed.
Opening his eyes he saw light pink hair.
Lightning was curled up against him head on his chest.
God she was gorgeous.

Hope gently ran a finger against the milky skin of her cheek.
Her vivid blue eyes opened and she tilted her head to look at him.
Hope felt his cheeks warm.
"Morning" he whisper softly stroking her cheek.

Lightning gently pulling herself close to him and kissing him.
"Morning" she said smiling as she pulled back,
her soft pink hair falling into her eyes.
Hope tucked her hair behind her ear.

Lightning gave Hope a quick lingering kiss before getting out the bed.
She quickly checked the top .
She peeped her head round the door to the living room.
"Alright Sunshine?" Fang said perched on the sofa.

Oops not very subtle Light she though.
"Of course, where is everyone?" Lightning asked.
"They have gone exploring, Vanille dragged the boys" Fang replied.
Then patted the seat beside her.

Lightning padded in and sat beside Fang.
Fang was quiet for a few moment before turning to Lightning.
"Sunshine you know how old Hope is don't cha?" Fang asked.
Lightning looked at Fang bewildered.

Lightning nodded, of course she did.
"And the difference in you ages?" she pushed.
"Yes, 7 years" Lightning said automatically.
Fang sighed. Then placed her hand on Lightning's.

"Now sunshine I don't mean to alarm you..." Fang began in her soft Australian twang.
"but Vanille likes Hope too" she finished sympathy lacing her voice.
Lightning felt as if her heart had been turned to ice.
Cold,heavy ice.

Vanille liked Hope?
