Chapter Nine

I woke up blinded by a crack in my curtains and silently scolded my cat Bernard. He was always pawing at those damn curtains. Mind you it's better than the Mexican blanket he used to tear from the window every night. I smiled remembering the grotesque multicolored blanket with tassels.

As I sat up and stretched I recalled the events that played out the previous night. I remembered how Seth came into my room with a plate of chocolate cake perched on his beautiful hand. I smiled and bit my lip when his comment about his hands being a favourite feature of mine came back to me.

But what stuck out to me the most was the contact his lips made with my forehead. My breath hitched a little just thinking about it. I groaned loudly and fell back onto my pillow, frustrated at how much of an affect he had on me. I decided it wouldn't be a great idea to spend all day in bed daydreaming, and seeing how it was already 11:30 I reluctantly trudged out of bed and got dressed. Running my tongue over my teeth I concluded a thorough brushing was in order.

As I walked down the hall toward the bathroom, I heard Kate and Amanda talking behind Kate's closed bedroom door. I soundlessly pressed my ear against the cool wood and listened. '...and I know he likes her, I just have to convince him to make his move.' 'I know, but what if she is too scared to accept his move and nothing comes of it?' 'I will make sure she goes for it if it's the last thing I do.'

After hearing this statement, my heart fluttered. I also heard the squeak of Kate's bed, and knowing someone was getting off it I launched myself off her door and into the bathroom, shutting the door before anyone could see I was eavesdropping.
